The Crown

Had a very tasty meal here at lunchtime today. Very reasonably priced too. Lovely friendly and helpful staff and a nice vibe to the restaurant too. Will definitely be eating here again next time I'm in Southwold. I had the 2 courses for £20 set menu and had the Coq au Vin and then Rhubarb crumble and custard. So good. Looking forward to coming back in the Summer.

We had a lovely 2 night stay here. It’s been a while however we loved it. Really lovely food, great service and lovely room. We will be back….!

We came here to celebrate our daughter’s birthday, as the restaurant looked lovely and a bit special — and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. The gentleman who served us was impeccable — attentive, warm, and made us feel like we were the only guests in the restaurant, which is a real skill. The food was wonderful — we had the minute steaks and crème brûlée, both cooked and presented beautifully. It was such an enjoyable lunch and one we’ll fondly remember. Thank you for making our daughter’s birthday so special — we’ll definitely be back!

We recently stayed for one night at the crown. I must say that from start to finish the service was superb. Staff were friendly, the room was spacious with beautiful exposed beams. Food was excellent across the board and the cooked breakfast was faultless. They even let me use their EV charger for free! Would recommend 100%.

Our stay was disappointing. We entered through the back of the hotel which was grubby and smelt of boiled fish. Our room, though spacious, had a very badly stained carpet and smelt of takeaway. The valance was hanging off the front of the bed. The room was in need of TLC. At dinner, our main course was fine but the vegetables that we paid extra for were overcooked and grey. The creme brulee was good but accompanied by inedible madelaines which should not have been allowed to leave the kitchen. Breakfast was mediocre. Service was good on the whole but let down by one rude waitress at breakfast. We felt sad and disappointed about our stay.
