Crown & Horns

Thank you to the great staff, lovely room and good food. Good location for The Ridgeway. Stayed in April 2025. Clean and modern room. Not sure why I need to write 200 characters as it was just a great stay. Thank you to the great staff, lovely room and good food. Good location for The Ridgeway. Stayed in April 2025.

Unfortunately for the 3rd time we have been unable to be served the meal we ordered. How on earth can you release a new Menu and not be able to serve what people have ordered. Unfortunately the Manager was not on site to discuss this with, which is a pretty poor show. Caitlin was a delight to speak to and an absolute asset to the pub, I feel sorry for the all the staff who are in the firing line of seating the customers and then have to return 45 minutes later to tell you that unfortunately what you have ordered is not available. So here we are on a Monday night, after an extremely stressful couple of days, tired and hungry and have to go home to scrambled eggs on toast and we are villagers. What on earth would visitors think of our lovely village pub?

Friendly welcome from Chris on check-in, ground floor room opens from a courtyard, noted overflowing ashtray of roll-ups on table outside room door. Room looked OK, warm, clean, and the beds were comfortable. However the bathroom was just plain grubby - shower screen needs some limescale spray and a deep clean round the base, long black hairs (not mine!) in shower tray, splashed and dusty chrome towel rail. Very sensitive shower control took 5+ minutes of constant running before some lukewarm water appeared, although plenty of hot water in basin tap. One decent real ale at bar, average menu and food, fair bar prices. Breakfast, (described as "continental" on the phone when I booked) took some finding as the pub was locked up and deserted. When we eventually found it (none of this had been explained to us on check-in) it turned out to be a small dresser of help-yourself items in a lobby at the foot of a stair, comprising of a clingfilmed basket of croissants, a bread bin, pots of jam, mini-packs of cereals, milk in a fridge below and - randomly - a toilet roll. I washed a croissant down with a cup of instant coffee made in my room, and left.

Oh dear!! Booked after reading the reviews. Nice village pub lovely girl serving behind the bar but food diabolical! Ordered only mains , came quickly but half missing, mentioned too staff and the rest of the meal came as we got up to pay. It seemed like the handy man was doing odd jobs then popped into kitchen when food was ordered . Keep away ! The Swan pub over the road looked nicer. Rooms were nice and comfortable tho ...

Further to my review ( rude greeting) regarding customer service Tuesday April 30 @ 7.30pm at your pub. The young lady that served us had long dark curly hair.

Took the family for dinner. Unfortunately they seemed to of had kitchen issues, calling in another chef after we had ordered. As much as the meal was reasonable at best. The excruciating long delay spoilt the evening. Whilst a round of drinks was welcome on the house, did not cut the mustard. The establishment had recently changed hands we believe. Will return at a much later date, when hopefully things will be a better experience. Here’s hoping ….
