The Crown

Came here for my Birthday and I was so disappointed, lovely waitress and the lovely views but it's a no from me. All of our food came out cold (we wasn't the only ones as I heard others complaining) everything was bland and just point blank not nice my hollandaisesauce didnt taste of anything, the pizzas are literally just tomato puree and cheese. I paid for our food through the app and was later told they had run out of pizza bases (stupid of me to think they made them fresh) so my partner ordered something else instead which was 5 pound cheaper than the pizza I paid for but we got offered complimentary £1.50 chips! I felt robbed Our plates didn't get taken away for atleast 2 hours I actually had to move all of out plates after an hour to another table and they still didn't get taken away. I had a very unpleasant time and I'm annoyed I gave them a second chance because I visited this place several years ago and it was shambles then but thought after many years it would of improved.

I’ve visited this pub numerous times so far this year and always have a very positive experience.

The decor is lovely and if you have time to take a look at some of the framed pictures on the wall, you will see some interesting historical features including the old Broxbourne mill and canal related pictures.

Beautiful venue location, spacious outdoor garden, quaint atmosphere, clean bathrooms and totally dog friendly (they offer a water bowl and there are charitable treats you can buy at the bar)

Despite some of the other reviews, I have personally never once had a bad meal here.
The menu has changed a little since Feb/March and occasionally they have a different dish as a weekly special.

We booked a birthday lunch here and bought our own cake, the kitchen arranged the cake on a plate along with lit candles (that we had brought ourselves) - the staff were very generous to help us with the birthday surprise.

My son and I visited on Thursday evening and there was a good choice of draft beer and food. Staff were pleasant and accommodating.

We asked to have a starter of just king prawns without scallops (which I'm allergic to) and that was no problem. My main was chicken pie, which had a lovely crisp flakey pastry top and good-sized pieces of chicken. My son had a beef rib which he enjoyed.

This pub is a 2.5 mile ride along the canal from the YHA Lea Valley.

Lovely location. The pub looks really nice on the inside... But the food is disappointing. Ordered the scallops and Kings prawns as a starter but then prawns weren't king as you can see in the photo. We also ordered two jack fruit wraps. 1 came lukewarm and the other came completely cold.

We stopped here at the end of our walk along the Lea navigation. There is a good range of drinks, slightly limited on draught cider. Inside was well decorated and was very inviting. We sat out in the beer garden which was stunning with views out on to the river. The food other people were eating looked delicious!

Been here a few times and the food had always been fantastic. Took my dad for a birthday lunch here on a Sunday. The roast was really tasty!

Service was fantastic and our waitress was attentive and friendly. She offered advice on what to order and went above and beyond to find a drink for us.

Definitely recommend!

Whilst staff seemed nice they were also unaware of what drinks they actually stocked.
They were kind enough to give us a table despite not booking in advanced but the food really was poor quality. The vegan wellington was about as dry as eating a boot left in the sun and it was surrounded by dry vegetables. The flavour was decent but how hard is it to realise that patty without sauce will be dry? Give me a gravy? And the vegan lasagne would barely fill a child, how can it possibly be a main?

Extremely basic choice of what’s on tap and will only appeal to alcoholics rather than those who enjoy flavour and aroma.

Beautiful surroundings and cosy environment but a lot of room for improvement.

A traditional pub. Off the beaten track. We walked the river to find the Crown after being recommended by friends - as we have a dog.

I’m so very glad that we did. Loved the fires and the staff. The Barmaid was friendly and the manager (tall man with beard) even brought our dog a bowl of water without asking. It’s the little touches that make the difference.

We ordered a few bits for lunch and the menu is impressive. They also have a festive menu!! And crackers lol. Our lunch arrived quick and hot (especially as it’s really cold outside).

We can’t praise this place enough. Well recommend to anyone.
