The Crown Inn

This 13th century inn is a hidden gem. The food and service were fantastic. It was easy to locate and the staff were very helpful in guiding us.

My mother-in-law had a fantastic birthday lunch. The local asparagus was delicious. The service was excellent, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable on a rainy Monday afternoon.

I have a holiday home nearby and have been wanting to visit Middleton Steakhouse and Grill with my family for some time as a special treat. I came across this restaurant when searching for steak options close to Kings Lynn. I made a reservation via email and received a prompt response. After driving around for over 20 minutes trying to locate the restaurant, we finally found it and realized it was actually The Bell. Despite the initial confusion and frustration of arriving with a new baby and 7-year-old, the food and service quickly made up for it. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fantastic. The only small complaint was that the waiter couldn't provide much information about the lobster when we asked. However, we took a chance and were pleasantly surprised. We will definitely be returning now that we know where it is located.

Comfortable, clean rooms, great food and friendly staff. For me as a business traveler, connectivity is essential therefore the quick, reliable and free WiFi was an added bonus. Would strongly recommend.

Went to the Crown, Middleton for an evening meal as it was my wife's Birthday. After about 15 minutes we ordered our starters and main meals. We got our starters within a reasonable time, which I must add weren't exactly mind-blowing. However, we had to wait a further 50 minutes before we were served our main courses. The waiter beforehand, who seemed a little inexperienced, did apologise at some time for the long delay. My fillet steak was fine but my wife's ribeye steak was virtually all gristle and inedible. When it was first brought to our table the ribeye appeared all lumpy and scraggly looking on the plate, so in my opinion, any experienced chef should have picked up on this. When it came to paying the bill the ribeye was complimentary but I still had to pay for my wife's side dishes. Overall, spoilt what should've been a Birthday evening to remember and will be for all the wrong reasons. Not at all not impressed and wouldn't go back there again.
