Crown & Horns

Very tasty food, nice atmosphere. Amazing service from gemma. Despite being another staff member on shift gemma seemed to be the only one running around doing everything and serving every table at a very busy time, however she kept positive attitude and energy the whole time and making every customer feel welcome and even stopping and having a chat with whoever. Could not have asked for a better waitress, she really went above and beyond for everyone.

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.

The Taylors Landlord beer was the best I've ever tasted. On the CAMRA NBSS I scored it a 5, the highest score you can give a beer. I don't usually give an excellent score and have only once done it before. We had two small meals which were excellent as well. When travelling we don't like big meals.

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.

Brilliant time, lovely food, landlady fantastic. Warm, welcoming , we will back. Sarah is the new publican and she deserves a pat on the back, dealing with the flood in the cellar. Thankyou Sarah for making our stay enjoyable. We will make sure we will tell our friends
