We had a great experience at The Crown Inn. The staff were warm and welcoming, the room was spotless and comfortable, and the food was delicious. The inn has a cozy charm and is perfectly located in the heart of Emsworth. Highly recommended — we’d happily stay again.
Lovely place for a family dinner we had the room to ourselves The food and service was great
I visited The Crown on Saturday with a friend and had a great time. It had a lively, young vibe with a sporty feel — there were pool tables and plenty going on. The bar staff were really friendly and took the time to chat, which I really appreciated as I was working in the area and didn’t know the place. A great spot if you’re looking for a fun, welcoming atmosphere!
We went there for food with our dog after a sunny mooch near the water. We were offered a table straight away and dog water and treats without having to ask. The food was superb and the servers were very friendly and attentive. It looks a little dead from outside as its a plain building but inside is lovely mixing old and new from a 1600s coaching house. The added service charge goes to the serving and kitchen staff so we didnt mind because they were great. Highly recommended.
Nice atmosphere and attentive staff, seems like it has recently renovated, however the mens toilets need a full refurb. Nice place for a couple of drinks.
We caught the train to Emsworth, for dog walk. Emsworth is a lovely town. The Crown is a great pub, great food, and ice cold Heineken, obviously dog friendly.
Such a fantastic pub, the food is lovely and generous and the service is a different level. My mum has Alzheimers and the person who served us (sorry i dont know her name) is just so great with her, it makes the world of difference to us.
Facing the town square and surrounded by shops, this 16th-century coaching inn is a 7-minute walk from Emsworth train station and a 1-hour train ride from Brighton.
