Pre booked a table for eight at lunchtime. Firstly checked on car parking regulations, after reading previous reviews where customers received £100 fines. Apparently, parking machine was out of action so breathed a sigh of relief.
We then ordered drinks and all okay, meals then ordered, ranging from fish/chips, burgers , bubble and queak and hash browns ( loaded) !!. All meals, without exemption were luke warm, served on a cold plate. 
Since we were all on a tight schedule we ate quickly rather than complain, although we did mention the food to the waitress and she apologised.At least desserts were acceptable.
Will not return, until they purchase a hotplate.

Luke warm.

On a visit to a National Trust Property (Dyrham), as holiday makers we passed this Inn. So we thought we’d have an evening meal there before returning to where we were staying.
There was plenty of parking, and a blackboard message which read ‘Kirstie and team welcome you’. As we entered the front entrance we were welcomed by Jess who said yes to a table for two, which was great as we’d not booked. She also took our drinks order. Jolly smiley young local lady, with knowledge of the Inn and area.
This is an original characterful intriguing Inn. It was busy with families and their dogs, spacious, various tables with chairs or window seats, all clean and tidy.
The menu was varied, a little pricey but we were on holiday. Both Jess and Hannah waited on us once we had chosen .
We waited a reasonable time for the delivery of our meals, appreciating they were freshly prepared and the two girls were busy with other customers.
I chose a Thai Rice Noodle and Prawn Salad (large not small option), and my husband the Chicken/Leek/Mushroom Pie with Mash and Vegetables. To say my meal was a total disappointment would be an understatement and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Portion size was one I’d describe as a starter. I had a dish of little gem full lettuce leaves, a very sparce scatter of rice noodles, four thin shavings of carrot, the same of radish, and three king prawns sliced in half to look more, equaling six thin pieces. I noted on the menu sourced from Brixham. Brixham is in our home County, and I’ve never ever had king prawns halved!
My husband’s pie was a far better choice( but I don’t eat chicken), still a small portion, and one vegetable with the mash and gravy. We are used to good food, reasonable portion sizes, and do not mind paying a fair amount when enjoyed and have a full stomach. Needless to say we had room for dessert, to which we both chose apple and rhubarb crumble with custard.
I had mentioned several times to Hannah that I wasn’t happy with my mains, especially the lack of prawn content and made a point of half cut prawns. However, the crumble portion was generous, nicely presented and she fetched extra custard as it came out in an extremely small jug.
We didn’t order coffees, by now we just wanted the bill and go. This meal did not warrant the bill total nor did it come close to our expectations. Not the best end of what had been a truly lovely one at The National Trust House.
The staff here are just lovely. Very friendly, work hard, and I felt got the feeling we were not happy with our main courses. Not wanting to cause any bad feelings or atmosphere in a busy quaint Inn, the bill was paid and we left. We won’t be returning.

Disappointing Evening Meal

The menu offered a great choice, the food was delicious, the service friendly and helpful, and the layout and decor was non-invasive. we had to wait 45 minutes for our food as you were unexpectedly busy, but we understood.
 
The Crown is definitely on our list of pubs to return to!

Great food, great location, a very enjoyable lunch

We had a lovely experience staying at The Crown Inn at Tolldown. Kirstie and her team go above and beyond to ensure everyone’s needs are catered for including some lovely dogs out for a treat with their owners.
Our room was well appointed and very clean and very comfortable. The Inn was extremely busy as it was a bank holiday weekend but every time we went in to dine Kirstie made sure we were well accommodated and taken care of.  We are from NZ and felt very comfortable even though a long way from home. Highly recommend the food and the breakfasts were a particularly good start to our busy days.
Well done Kirstie thank you for your hospitality. 😊

Great Visit With Kirstie and the Team at the Crown Inn at Tolldown.

First time visit for three of us for lunch and we were not disappointed. Kirstie acknowledged us at the bar - always good to be noticed - and attended to us as soon as she had finished with another customer. We were directed to put in our car regs. The food was delicious and well presented. Service was on point. We had a lovely meal and would like to thank all members of staff. If we were to search for one negative it would be our table booking limited to 2 hours BUT we were aware of this when we booked a week ago. We will be back and, who knows, we may stay over night next time! Thank you.

Delicious Attention

Loved The Crown Inn. A group of friends and I met for the weekend for a catch up and dinner. Easy to find as only minutes off the M4, with lots of free parking on site. 

We arrived and ventured out to Dyrham Park (National Trust) just a 5 minute drive away for a lovely walk in the grounds. 

Back to The Crown Inn for pre-dinner drinks and we were entertained by the very friendly staff until dinner time. Very varied menu and food allergies were all catered for. HUGE portions of scrummy food - we did starters, mains and pudding! 🐷

Had a great night catching up in a lovely atmosphere, went our separate ways to our warm, cosy rooms - beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. 

Awoke the next morning and walked bleary eyed across the car park to breakfast. Again, a great choice of food and BIG portions - 4 rashers of bacon 🥓😋

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, couldn’t fault a thing. 

Free parking 
Scrummy food
Beautiful rooms
Excellent service
Great location

Well worth a visit!

£100 demand for 2 hours parking while we drank in the pub.

Daughter arranged a family get together here Dec 23. After a 100 mile drive, arrived early evening at dusk in the pouring rain. Ran from carpark to pub, spent two hours catching up and drinking at the bar. Left the pub in the dark and heavy rain and continued our journey.

Today received a very threatening letter demanding £100 for the car park stay, with a 40% discount if paid quickly. It threatened debt recovery and/or court proceedings with additional costs if the full amount isn't paid within 28 days. I'm treating this as threatening behaviour and demanding money with menaces.

So much for a welcoming pub. Fortunately I have a credit card entry for over £19 (a tea, a coffee, a pint and a g&t btw) so will not be paying the bullying charge, designed to frighten anyone who gets one.

I've just read other reviews where the managers state signs are clearly visible - well we didn't see any at all. I've read reviews saying the barman always either takes your car number or tells you to register your car - well he did neither of those.

Getting in touch with a person on the phone seems impossible, so I've left two messages earlier today requesting the pub to cancel these demands, but I haven't heard back at all and they haven't had the courtesy to return my calls.



£100 menacing demand for 2 hours parking while we drank in the pub.

The staff were very friendly and the food was good.
The main road is very busy so take care when arriving and leaving.
Nice relaxed atmosphere.
Inside is very cosy and nice and warm
One star removed because they charge £4.80 for a small bottle of alcohol free lager - really??

Good but drinks very expensive

Amazingly warm and friendly pub on the outskirts of Bath. Great place to meet with friends and always welcomed with a smile and feel genuinely valued as a customer. Would highly recommend for food and drinks and new refurbishment looks great aswell. Thanks Kirsty and team for running a great pub!

Warm and Friendly pub

I can't stand fluffy, soft pillows so wherever I go,  I take my own firm one; likewise my own thinner one.  
The revamped food menu has become too 'arty-farty' , oh &, the print is far too small. Struggle, even with specs on.
