Genuine, honest pub with lovely people involved from top to bottom. Quirky, no frills style restaurant with a lovely French infused menu, catering to all.
This is a pub where friendship, connection, community and good times are central values, rooted deep to its core. It is of great amusement that a select few can be reckless enough to very publicly vilify a venue and/or management, on the back of a singular bad experience. Clearly, Mr Clarke, the owners and staff are significantly more memorable to you, than you are to them.
I will always vehemently support this lovely local pub, its staff and patrons. Long may it continue under the leadership of Vanessa, Madge and the team.

Back in England and Bathford since from a long time ago with relatives from London driving up. We really liked the Crown the last time we were here and went there for lunch. It was just as good as last time. Friendly staff, good food (we had different things incl. the Sunday roast and everyone was happy). The setting and atmosphere are lovely. The young lady doing waiting was a delight. Attentive without being intrusive (and we were a trial spending a long time before we even looked at the menus), knowledgeable, and engaging. Thank you Crown and staff!

We visited The Crown at dinner time to celebrate my mother's birthday. We met with a warm welcome from the friendly bar staff. Food was excellent, good selection of beers from Europe and the UK. The staff were very attentive and visited the table multiple times to see if we needed anything and to make sure we were topped up with drinks. Dogs are very welcome in the pub and we were even given a little cup of dog treats by the staff! We shall we be returning soon!

A Disgrace to Its Former Reputation ? Avoid at All Costs
Having visited The Crown many times over the years, I was genuinely shocked by the appalling experience on Sunday, 3rd August 2025. What was once a warm, high-quality dining spot under Vanessa?s ownership has clearly fallen into a state of neglect, both in the kitchen and front of house.
The so-called ?roast? was a pitiful excuse for a Sunday lunch: a pale, lazily cleaved half roast chicken ? no seasoning, no crisp skin, no care ? dumped next to a sad handful of soggy, undercooked microwave vegetables swimming in their own watery runoff. No proper sides, no attention to flavour or presentation, and certainly no justification for the inflated price tag. It felt like a meal slapped together in five minutes with supermarket basics, then marked up to restaurant prices without a shred of shame.
Worse still was the staff?s complete indifference. When asked how the food was, we gave honest but polite feedback ? only to be met with blank stares and disinterest. Not an apology, not an offer to rectify the issue ? just a shrug and a quick retreat. It was clear no one cared, least of all about maintaining the standards that once made this place worth visiting.
I can?t imagine that the former owner, Vanessa, would tolerate this level of sloppiness for even a moment. The soul of The Crown has been gutted, replaced by what feels like a cash-grab with zero concern for quality, hospitality, or reputation.
We won?t be returning, and we will no longer be recommending The Crown to anyone ? quite the opposite. There are far better places that understand what a proper Sunday roast should be ? and how to treat customers with basic respect.

Just poped in for a quick pint good selection of draft beer and nice front of pub seating

Less a pub than a bad restaurant. The omelet was a white, eggy mess, and the chips were mediocre. They don't have English draft beer. A 10% service charge is automatically added without asking. For that the waiter comes to the table one too many times to ask if everything is OK.

The food was simple. Asked for some Serrano Ham. No toast or accompanying items. Asked the waitress if I could ask a question she said NO. Unbelievable. So I asked another and she said NO as well! Everyone, do yourselves a favour, visit the Bathhampton Mill Bath. STAY AWAY from THE CROWN. You have been warned! ?

Nice place to eat and drink in. Go inside, you can then see all the places to eat and drink. From the outside, it looks like you have to sit in the car park to sit outside.

This place brings you everything and little bit more than you expect from it. The people are friendly. It is a lovely place to just have a beer and some food.

Lovely service from the team today. Cheesy chips were really cheesy and delicious. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Good outdoor space where dogs are welcome.

Nice big pub with great decor and garden.
Food is better than average, but way way overpriced.
They also add 10% service charge on too. In a pub! Very friendly staff.
