The Crown - South Cambridgeshire

Family party of 11 had a smashing time yesterday at The Crown for hubbies 70 th birthday. Food was fabulous and plenty of it. The children had plenty to choose from on the children's menu but could have opted for the pizzas (which from experience are the best we've ever eaten) we were all very well looked after and they were happy for us to take the birthday cake to finish with. The children were provided with colouring books to keep them amused so we were all able to relax over coffees at the end a perfect do! Many many thanks to Ken, Gosha and Zoe.

Cosy pub offering a good selection of ales and brilliant Sunday roasts generous portions without compromising on quality and fab veg selection.

I decided to turn left instead of the usual right and try a different route to my usual destination. Tucked in Litlinton is this Pub, Yes was the answer to my question of Are you serving Food They produce a leaflet of Whats on in the Pub During the month of September in their around the world between the 6th September and the 9th it is USA. That was what I chose. BBQ Ribs Starter these were absolutely delicious so tender and moist, fell off the bone. Fingerlicking for sure !! Next, I chose Southern Fried Chicken the chef says he only cooks thighs mainly, not a bad thing as these tend to be meaty and moist. The coating was yummy. These were served with Sweet Potatoe chips and a chunk of sweetcorn. By far the best choice of dessert I could have made, that was the Plum and Apple Crumble served with custard. Choice of Drinks, Bar Lady/Waitress service same person for both areas reached via the bar (for her). Chef/ Owner also served to ensure food remained hot. Not the poshest of environments, but clean, very friendly, extremely warm welcome. Very good atmosphere and from the waves of laughter heard from the bar, people definitely relax and enjoy themselves. It appears to be mainly a couple who run the pub/ restaurant area, with adjoining landlord/lady/family accommodation upstairs. New ventures maybe? They are doing well, lovely couple and family members observed briefly early evening. Other activities through the month range from Karaoke; Music Quiz; Pie Night; Steak Night; Every Saturday evening two courses for £12.00; Sunday Roast Returns £12.00 (different size portions available); Bingo; Pensioner Lunches Tues Saturday £6.00. Even have Pizza Options prices range from £5.50 for 8 £12.00 for largest 16 Different leaflet every month. Option to either eat in or call in the order and take away. Highly recommended Give them a try. I myself cannot wait to return to this lovely and welcoming village pub.

My friends and I visited The Crown in Litlington, but our experience was far from pleasant. As soon as we walked in, we were met with a cold and uninviting atmosphere, with everyone staring at us. The landlady/barmaid greeted us in a brusque manner and immediately asked to see my ID, despite the fact that I’m 29 years old and have visited the pub before. Since I had forgotten my ID, I ordered lemonade, which came in a pint glass. The unfriendly vibe made us decide to leave rather quickly. It’s disappointing, especially since local pubs are struggling in today’s economy, and one would expect a more welcoming attitude from a small establishment. As a result of this experience, my friends and I won't be coming back.

A small group of us bikers and trikers recently had the pleasure of dining at The Crown. From the moment we arrived, the landlady and locals made us feel incredibly welcome. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that the pub serves food on Monday nights. We decided to try the fish and chips with mushy peas, and they did not disappoint—both delicious and satisfying. At just £5 each, it was also a fantastic bargain. The chef even came out to chat with us and shared that he and his wife Sharon had only taken over the pub three weeks ago. We’re already looking forward to returning, hopefully with a bigger group next time!
