The Crown

Very decent little pub. Food options are a little limited but very tasty. I have the vegan bean chilli which was excellent. I presume their vegan curry will be equally good as the chilli seemed homemade. Meat options also available. Decent ales, all well looked after. Nice outdoor space out back (across a little rear access road with no traffic on it). There's another little bar out back. Staff are lovely.

Update.
Sadly the pub is going downhill. Kids and troublemakers seem to have moved from the Chequers to the Crown. Fighting, urinating, lots more broken bottles around, screaming people. George too is playing incredibly loud music in the garden without any consideration for the neighbourhood. What landlord puts a DJ in the garden for hours when folk are trying to live in their homes just a few feet away?? No staff moving people on after closing, folk screaming around full volume gone 12.30am. The way it is going, the normal, loyal locals who made it a really sound place will be walking away.

It's a good pub, good beer and full of friendly locals, probably the best in Harlow. The landlord George seems to deal with fights and trouble pretty swift which is much better than the last landlords, in fact George is quite impressive! I just wish though that he would send out a member of staff to collect the empty bottles and glasses every morning that his patrons leave all over the vicinity which get broken. Be nice to show a little respect to the local area or serve people outside drinks in plastic. Broken glass has damaged dogs feet here in the past, as well as being dangerous generally. Such a simple and thoughtful thing to do which isn't done.

Great to catch up with old mates. Pub tidy and staff excellent. Great choice of beers in a lovely pub. Garden first rate if summers around!

Limited space but nice busy local atmosphere. Probably not a good meeting point for a group of 40. Reasonable pint prices. Nice staff.

The Crown always has a good selection of ale..the bar staff are friendly and welcoming. Live music every Saturday. Food choice very good, especially Sunday roast.. recommend booking in advance as this is very popular so you may miss out if you just turn up without booking first.

Nice pub, great atmosphere.

Was a lovely warm experience staff where so friendly and we occupied the whole of the abug room very comfortable

A pub that has been redeveloped by the owners and is an absolute jewel. It was a “drinker’s” pub but has been reinvented as a food pub as a result of COVID.

A beautiful garden and food service that is much improved.

Local gem.
