Called in for lunch on Tue 26th, as a small family group of 5, to celebrate a 90th birthday of one of the group.Quickly seated, but the server missed the state of the table as I had to request that it was cleaned down again; all the place settings were there, but so was a huge long lump of mud that looked to have been picked out of the hiking boot.....NOT difficult to miss!Studied the menu as various other customers arrived to be seated. Watched a few folk already seated being brought their food. Kept sitting, waiting and watching as we made out meal choices....and that was it...sitting, waiting, watching, nothing else happening!BUT as soon as it was clear that,A. nobody had asked what drinks we'd like while checking the menu, andB. a couple of tables who'd been seated after us had had their food orders taken and drinks brought before we'd had the time of day - the conversation of our group was one of "we're being blanked, we'll go somewhere else"....I then left to check other options on the High Street.Sadly, the 90 year old in the group is not too mobile, so the group waited for my information before following me.About 10 minutes or so after I left, the waitress finally took their order.NOT impressed with the lack of attention to detail re. the mud on the "clean" table, NOR with being totally ignored by waiting staff.As I have a rule about not rewarding such abysmal behaviour with money I grabbed a bacon sandwich and coffee from a café instead.The people who remained in the Crown to have their meal said that no explanation was offered for the delay, nor any apology given = and even though The Crown is our regular place to go for a meal when visiting Biggar the consensus was THAT'S THE LAST TIME WE GO TO THERE...!Anyone considering The Crown for meals would best make sure they have a lot of time to sit & stare at the walls and the other diners, as you'll be waiting a long time before there's anything apart from mud on the table in front of you!

What a find! Food was delicious and plentiful portions. Decent beer selection.Service was fast, food was cooked perfectly. We had crispy chicken strips and blackened pork belly for starters. All the chicken strips were juicy and not dry at all, even the thinnest ones. The pork was melt in the mouth good and plenty of it. My partner had the red snapper and it was lovely and flavoursome. I had haddock and possibly the best chips I?ve ever had. We felt bad as we just couldn?t finish it all but it was delicious.Great attention to detail. Lovely photos of bygone days on the walls and a cosy open fireplace give the bar and restaurant areas a great traditional vibe.Our servers were extremely accommodating and friendly. Smiles all round

We are here for our first weekend away in Scotland and came here based off of numerous reviews in our cabins guest book.It was incredibly busy when we arrived and the team were dealing with a substantial table at the time, but still managed to squeeze us both in with two dogs.Service was fabulous and the team were all very welcoming, even though our puppy was quite yappy!Food was fabulous, we had the fish sandwiches. Portions were huge and very tasty - Thanks for a wonderful meal!

Food was good. Atmosphere was good. The decor could use updating. Did not enjoy being rushed out by the staff though.

We arrived mid afternoon new year's without a reservation. The staff front of house found us a table and was extremely polite about it too. Food was tasty and reasonably priced (same as most restaurants now). The staff are friendly, fabulous and quick. The place is so warm and inviting with happy, friendly regulars at the bar. If I find myself in Biggar in future I will stop off here again for a bite to eat.
