Just had lunch at The Crown Hotel which I have visited several times before and always been happy so thought we'd try the Sunday lunch. The restaurant was very busy and the staff were doing everything they could but unfortunately I just don't think there was enough of them. All staff were immaculate and very pleasant and friendly but due... More

New to Stamford my brother, my sis-in-law and I were advised to go to the Crown Hotel for lunch. Being already getting passed the usual lunch hour we rushed to it, as we knew where it was having been around the square it faces earlier that day. We entered and were welcomed and shown to our table (last remaining empty).... More

The food is always very good at The Crown in Stamford but the service can be average as it was on our last visit in April - we sat at the 'back' where it was quieter, as the bar area was unpleasantly loud (as usual on a Friday night), and we had a very young waiter who, although very nice,... More

Very pleasant ambience and a good place for a pint. I have eaten there a few times but find the menu a bit boring and expensive these days. I think the food was better when the place was scruffier!

We had lots of varying ages and tastes gathered together for my Dad's 82nd birthday - food was good, service equally good, wine excellent. A great place.

Found hard , small pieces of plastic (I think) in my salad. Didn't feel so great (or appetizing) chomping down on them. Restaurant employee (manager?) did nothing when pointed it out to her besides, "oh, that's not good!" Dessert was good, but not on the house after that experience. Better places to eat in Stamford can easily be found.

Myself and a friend stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. Service was good and we were seated quickly, order taken efficiently from a friendly waitress. We chose to have some tapas type starters that were Chicken Wings, White Bait and Tempura Black Pudding, these were very nice and set us up for Open Steak Sandwiches these came with Onion... More

Returned to The Crown after a little break from my frequent visits to Stamford. Although the staff were friendly, the place seemed to have lost a bit of its pizazz. Perhaps it was having a late lunch as there were not many other diners present to aid the ambience. Sunday roast was excellent with a good choice of roasts along... More

One hour wait for a steak sandwich & lasagne! Only reason we were told is that there was a function upstairs....NOT OUR ISSUE! Food was just pub type food...good but just pub food... Won't be back when there are excellant places in Stamford.
