The Crown Inn - Wallingford

We made a reservation at The Crown for Sunday, August 27th on June 6th. Our reservation was confirmed and we received a reminder the day before. However, when we arrived on the 27th, we were informed that the kitchen was closed. It was disappointing that they accepted our booking without honoring it or informing us. The bar staff's attitude was also poor. Additionally, we had to spend £15.00 each way on a cab.

The pub food is excellent and without any pretension, they offer a variety of nice beers and the service is very friendly.

The breakfast porridge was underwhelming, but the dinner meal was excellent.

Not the most inspiring meal one has ever had! I had the roast beef, which though cooked nicely, was spoiled by the great wedge of fat that accompanied the slice. Moreover, more vegetables would have made all the difference. Additionally, considering it was Father's day the place was empty...

Lovely place. Food is good, staff were very helpful. The music could do with turning down a bit but I didn’t complain. I think it was only because there wasn’t many people in there on a Saturday lunch time.
