Dropped in on a cold day and appreciated the warmth of the real fire. Good selection of beer and reasonably priced food. Pie of the day was huge at £9.95 with chips and veg - excellent.

A recent review took issue with the presence of bones in a lemon sole dish. Yes I know fish have bones, but why leave them in, why not fillet the fish for the convenience of the Customer? And these were no ordinary bones but pieces of spine with side bones like needles. Having to remove a bone from your mouth that had escaped the initial search of the dish is not an enjoyable experience. And a search was necessary because the fish was covered by the rest of the dish. And it was a shame to have this trouble because the dish tasted good. I also felt that our welcome could have been more fulsome. We certainly didn't mind waiting for the 5pm starting gun and it is surely not a crime to register an interest in some nibbles, a request that could easily have been met with a smile.Dear SirAs with my last response the afore mentioned Lemon Sole dish was advertised as being 'Whole Baked'. This would imply that the fish is baked whole and not filleted.As mentioned before if, you the customer, had asked for the fish to be filleted we could have easily done so, thus having no bones.I strongly disagree with the remark regarding your welcome as it was myself that greeted you upon entering my pub, you were given a taster of the local ale, shown to a large table in the window for your part of three, given menus and the point that food started at 5pm was clarified. All seemed good.At 4.50pm you approached the bar to order nibbles to which I merely stated that we did not start food till 5pm. If I appeared to be rude then I apologise, but, was merely reiterating the point that we did not commence food service till 5pm, something that you had been told not 10 minutes previously.There certainly is no starting gun. We regularly take food orders early if the kitchen is ready for service, on the day of your visit we had a very busy lunch service & the kitchen were a little behind getting ready for the evening service hence I could not take your order.We take enormous pride in the product we offer, in both the food and service that we provide every day of the year, this can clearly be seen other reviews on this website and the fact we hold 4.5 star rating on both Google and Facebook. I feel on this occasion we must agree to disagree as I am perfectly satisfied with the level of service you and your party received, as previously mentioned by another member of your party in the last review. So, following the two 2 star reviews that your party of three have posted maybe our establishment is not the one for you.Many ThanksPete the Owner.

It was our first visit to The Crown, in Bollington, since a new team took over in December.The menu featured a five-bean chilli â but since I went in search of the perfect chilli â and in the process discovered Heston Blumenthalâs recipe â Iâve been consistently disappointed by restaurant offerings.So, as this was The Crown, not the Fat Duck â I decided to try the Jerk Chicken. I wasnât expecting too much â I was wrong, boy was I wrong.Now any chef can chuck in the chillis to crank up the scovilles but without the right mix of spices and flavours youâre just heading for a blistered tongue and disappointed taste buds.To be very honest the jerk chicken was hot as Hades â and certainly not for the faint hearted â but the flavours were a revelation. Accompanied by some perfectly cooked wild rice I was almost in spice heaven.She who must be obeyed had the same â and was equally knocked out. Two of our friends shared a huge portion of spare ribs and a âhangingâ kebab â which turned out to be two kebabs suspended from a metal spike enabling the provided butter to drip from top to bottom.Our two other friends went for a beef lasagne and the five-bean chilli â which was pronounced âhotâ!!!I said earlier that I was almost in heaven with my jerk chicken â almost, as the sauce, or if youâre posh jus, was just screaming out for some bread to soak it up.Thankfully a nod to the waitress and a request resulted in a plate of freshly-baked, lightly charred, french bread. Now I really was in heaven.Adding three beers, a couple of bottles of wine, a couple of additional glasses of wine and several fruit juice and sodas resulted in a bill for just shy of £130.00 â for six people.Will we be going back â like a shot â but be warned, the jerk chicken (and the chilli) isnât for the timorous.

We visited about 7pm on a Sunday evening and had a wonderful meal. The mussels and beef bourginon that I had and the cheese soufflé and duck my husband had was all fabulous. The service was great and the team even put the radiator on for me when I requested it as I hadnât dressed in a jumper (despite knowing better!) Always lovely and a great place. Highly recommended. Thank you Alison for the lovely review! It is most appreciated!We look forward to seeing you soon to enjoy our warming Autumn Menu!
