Sunday lunch at the Famous Crown is simply the best! Even the Grandchildren love it as they are treated like VIPs by Dionne and staff every time we go. If you like to wash your meal down with a lovely glass of quality wine, then you won’t be disappointed. The open fireplace… what more can I say? It just sets the scene for a relaxing afternoon!
We had the pleasure of spending a few evenings in the company of the delightful Dionne and her staff on our recent trip home to the UK.
She made us feel so welcome and at home, making us realize what we miss about the UK most, a friendly, warm and inviting pub.
The Crown itself is a warm and inviting place, with many cozy nooks to spend time with family and friends. Beautiful decor, in keeping with the age of the establishment.
The food was exceptional. We had a variety of meals between us all, which were all of restaurant standard, both in presentation and taste. Definitely great value for money.
We played a few games with the bar staff one night, and had an absolute blast.
Many Thanks to Everyone at the Crown for making our trip home, such a memorable and enjoyable one. We will definitely have you on our hit list on our next trip back to Manchester.
I booked a table for 4 for Sunday lunch, just before Christmas. The pub itself is beautiful, outside & inside, after it's much awaited renovation. It is gorgeous inside, with cosy nooks everywhere. We ordered two roast beef dishes, a vegetarian dish & a roast chicken dish. The food was restaurant quality. It looked wonderful & tasted even better. And importantly, hot plates, so the food stayed hot for the duration of the meal. Dionne the landlady, is very friendly & welcoming. Issy, one of the bar staff, whom I have met on three occasions, is excellent. She has remembered me each time & is extremely personable & efficient. Dionne understands very well that chefs & bar staff can make or break a pub/restaurant. Long may "The Famous Crown" continue!
