After dropping by a couple of times on Friday nights on the off chance and finding it full, we booked and got seats on a Saturday night without a problem - seems you can never tell which nights are going to be busy (incl mid-week) according to the owners so if you are driving to Shrivenham it's always worth phoning...

Went for a late mothers day meal, sat next to a very cold area of the place, could not move due to it being very busy, that said the food was nice and the atmosphere is good, service not excellent so no need to tip this place as you tip the waiters for the job they do, in this instance... More

we did feel a little let down by the food. Had the Sunday roast and was a bit disappointed after seeing the reviews on here (which was one of the main reasons we visited). It was good, but must admit I expected a little better, perhaps my expectations were raised too high. Decent pint, very friendly and obliging staff and... More

The title of my review links to our frustration in trying to find that seemingly simple thing-a pub/restaurant that has great food and service. Why is it so hard? Visited The Crown with two friends and had a lovely time, mostly punctuated with each of us saying 'Mmmm delicious' and 'how's your meal, it looks gorgeous' which roughly translated meant... More

Having been a customer at the Crown since its re-opening a couple of years ago, its still my favourite in the village, and where I like to visit as often as possible. The Crown is a small family run business, bistro style setting, with a seasonally changing menu of great food. The service is fantastic, as Brian and Wendy make... More

Apparently the managers have changed recently. It looks like they are trying and succeeding to make this an all- round, town centre pub. Obviously updated and well maintained.

We recently stayed in Shrivenham for 3 nights on business. Had an ok curry on the first night. The second night we thought we would give the Crown a go. Well what a good choice, this is a lovely, family run restaurant. Wendy, who was front of house was a star (she kept getting called back to the kitchen for... More
