The Crown Inn

Absolutely lovely lunch experience. The friendly welcome and relaxed but very professional service complemented the outstanding food. 3 courses each and every single thing on the plates was delicious. The chef even responded to my compliment by coming out and sharing one of his recipes. We'd usually keep a place as good as this for special occasions but I can definitely see us just popping in again very soon.

I also need to say how very impressive it is that you have menus for dietary restrictions that are every bit as good as the 'normal' menu.

Amazing food, lovely cocktails, overpriced Guinness even in London I haven't paid £6.95 for a pint.

Visited on a Tuesday evening for dinner and didn’t disappoint. Mark the owner is one of the nicest guys we’ve ever met, went above and beyond for his customers, very attentive always making sure we had drinks and just genuinely a really nice guy. His service alone would make you want to go back and visit. We had starters, main and dessert and all were so yummy! The mango chutney onion bhajis were super yummy as was the treacle sponge for desert. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much for being so accommodating Mark! Your pub is a delight :)

What a lovely place this is. After a very warm welcome from the owner I was delighted to receive a fantastic choice on the Vegan menu. My husband chose from the special menu as it was ‘Sausage Night’ The food was absolutely delicious and the service was warm, friendly and swift. Both kitchen and front of house is absolutely spot on and for the quality of the food you get here the price is very reasonable.

The best Gastro Pub we have been too, and we go to many, food to die for, especially the home made Piccalilli, food was cooked to perfection, all cooked to order. Service was excellent, I don't usually leave a tip but this time I did due to the service and being looked after, well done Jake. This place is out in the Countryside and even has a good gravel carpark. We will be back. Mark (the owner) thank you so much.

Couldn't speak highly enough about my visit. It has been the only place that I have found where they cater to such a high standard for those with food intolerances (having a full dairy free menu) and the food be exceptional. Will be visiting again in a heartbeat!

Great setting in a lovely little village. Well worth a visit if you're over that way. Good menu with smaller plates available. Will definitely be returning

Lovely lunchtime meal at The Crown in Broughton yesterday to celebrate my daughter’s last day at The Ivo!!
Couldn’t fault the service either. Nothing was too much trouble and even tho we arrived with minutes to spare (kitchen closes at 2pm) they squeezed us in 💙

This place never disappoints. The food, hospitality and drinks list is superb. Definitely the best gastro pub in the area. The fish dish I had tonight was up there with the best I've ever had. 10/10

Gorgeous food and lovely staff. Little mix up with the bill, but it was busy and easy to forgive after the amazing nut roast i had ♡♡♡ Definitely recommended!

Had Sunday roast here .
It was amazing. Plenty of good quality food on your plates. Excellent service. Great atmosphere. Fantastic value .
Would happily go back and recommend to others . Amazing place .

Very nice dinner atmosphere. Good service, nice dishes. Would definitely come again.

Had a lovely 60th Birthday lunch today. Food and service excellent!
Thank you so much for bringing out the cake my daughter in law had made and providing a knife, plates and forks allowing us to enjoy a piece in the restaurant x

A beautiful country pub with its own car park. Recommended xxx
Jake, manager allowed me to still sit in dining area, 5 mins before kitchen due to close, big thank you for that. I ordered my starter and main quickly so kitchens could clean down end of their shift. Chose a dessert that did not need cooking. And to finish I had a Floater coffee, people of the 1980's will know, basically coffee at bottom, with cream floating on top. Option for non drivers. Option for alcohol addition if other means of transport home.
Food positives and slight critisms (very small), as the team were kind enough to serve me. The Pea and Mint Aranchini (rice) balls had a drizzle of honey mustard dressing, which overpowered any taste of mint that may or may not have been there. A sugestion, you could consider serving with a small amount of crushed peas (same as with your fish and chips?).
That could add extra minty element without deflecting from what the dish is hoping to achieve in its title or dish theme?? Maybe chopped fresh mint, or dots of minted olive oil if lubrication necessary??.
These little balls were moist enough, and suited what they were meant to do.

Fish and chips, tempura type batter, bit difficult to eat as so crispy, fish was soft and well cooked. Crushed peas, a little dry, probably where prepared at time of my starter so kitchen could clear down. Still edible, better if not so dry/hard in areas. Entirely forgiven though, when you taste the chips !! Amazing, good size portion, served in parchment little half parcel. They were totally gorgeous.
Missed being asked if any sauces were required as vinegar and mayonaise would have complimented.

Dessert I opted for the chocolate mousse, chocolate soil, roasted pistascio nuts and I requested vanilla icecream instead of the proposed salted caramel accompanyment.

Warning chocolate mousse very bitter ! Soil was great. Nuts didnt really add much. Icecream not too bad. Price at £7.25 was a bit on expensive side for size of dessert, but very rich, decadent dessert, so forgiven.
Improvement suggestion: Maybe fresh strawberries or rasberries would enhance this and relieve the palate, icing sugar sprinkle on the dark plate as additional decoration also could artistically enhance.

Floater coffee completed my meal very well. Price overall with one bottle of soft drink around £35.00.

Will be going back. Beautiful pub. Thank you Jake and Harvey for your hospitality. Hope to visit again soon.

An amazing find in the lovely Broughton. The Crown Inn is located in a beautiful place and the indoor looks just as nice. The food was also a wonderful surprise. Every dish was well executed and well presented. The peculiar flavours might not meet everyone's expectations but it certainly exceeded ours. Price also absolutely justified and probably the most important part, a really kind and professional service. Can't give less than 5 stars. Definitely recommend anyone nearby to pay The Crown Inn a visit, you won't regret it!

The crown inn is amazing, a must go to place.
Beautiful location and pub, with amazing staff and food.
I will return again very soon.

Had a superb dinner here on Friday evening. The customer service was very good with enthusiastic, friendly and attentive staff. There were many options on the menu, including classic pub options, and more fancy dishes as well as daily specials; it was quite hard to pick what to try! I settled on the market fish of the day which was seabass (pictured). It was delicious. Lovely rice pudding for dessert too. Definitely will need to return to try other dishes! Keep up the good work.

Another great lunch at the Crown. Meals in the photos are gluten free herb gnocchi & cauliflower saag aloo. Service was quick and friendly as always. Good selection of local beers on offer. Full gluten free separate menus. Several vegetarian options available too. Compacted gravel carpark with a disabled space & ample beer garden with seating. Baby changing facilities available. Group bookings accommodated. Recommend pre-booking for Sunday lunch as it's always popular! Free Wifi available.

Excellent food, unhurried service, very relaxed and enjoyable lunch! Pub has a large garden and has outdoor cinema scheduled this summer

Really enjoyed the meal and service. Nice atmosphere and really well cooked food. It's not really a pub now, more of Gastro pub cum restaurant and it does it really well. Will definitely be going back very soon.
