Reviews Overview

Patrons rave about the friendliness of the staff, particularly the new landlady, Emma, who goes above and beyond to ensure every visitor feels at home. The atmosphere stands out—warm, inviting, and full of character. The food receives high praise, especially the Sunday roast and the diverse menu selections that cater to both kids and adults. The live music and quiz nights add an element of fun, making The Crown Inn a hot spot for entertaining evenings. The generous portions and reasonable prices further enhance its reputation as a great local eatery, often drawing back repeat visitors fiercely loyal to the pub.
Guests appreciate the family-friendly ambiance, making it a go-to for families, and they highlight the fresh ingredients used in each dish.
Most Disliked
While many adore the vibe, some visitors express concerns about the busy hours, particularly on Thursdays. The pub reaches full capacity during peak times, which might lead to longer wait times for drinks and food. A few patrons mention that they wish there was a bit more variety in the vegetarian selections available on the menu, though the options will likely satisfy most diners. During busy dinner periods, a crowded environment can affect the peaceful experience some might seek. Additionally, while the pub is generally well-kept, high volumes can lead to the occasional waiting line for the restrooms. It's good to plan a visit during quieter hours if an intimate setting is desired.

I recently visited The Crown Inn in Yoxall, and I was thoroughly impressed. It’s a charming country pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I went on a Sunday when the traditional roast was on offer, but I asked for something a little different – a beef salad – and they were more than happy to accommodate my request. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely lovely – they really made me feel at home. The decor is tasteful and cosy, and everything was spotlessly clean and fresh. All in all, it was a fantastic visit. Great food, great surroundings, and even better people. I’ll definitely be returning. Thank you to the lovely lady who went out of her way to accommodate my needs

We went as a family of 4. Didn't book a table just walked in. Fab service to accommodate us. Made my kids feel very welcome. The owner Emma went above and beyond her role - and all the staff were lovely. The food was brilliant- the kids ate all their food which is always a great sign. Great value for money. Highly recommend.

Since reopening we have been to The Crown several times and each time we have been so impressed. Emma and her team cannot do enough for you and make the pub so friendly and welcoming. The food is outstanding, reasonably priced and very generous portions! It was so good, we keep going back for more!! We went to the quiz last Thursday and had a brilliant time. We weren’t expecting the free bowl of chips that arrived and were impressed that all proceeds go to the British Heart Foundation. We are so glad the pub has opened up. A friendly, local, village pub is exactly what Yoxall needed again! We will definitely be returning!

This was our first time at the Crown since it changed ownership. Emma and the team were so welcoming - she made us and our little boy feel right at home. We had Sunday dinner and puddings. Everything was lovely and really good value for money. Thanks again! X

Since reopening, we have been going back to The Crown every week as we have been so impressed with the friendly service, welcoming atmosphere, great selection of drinks and outstanding food. The new head chef, Blake is brilliant! We have been so impressed with the events that have already taken place such as the live singers and the car show. The Thursday night pub quiz is also a lot of fun and always has a great turn out. Emma (landlady), is doing an incredible job. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
