It’s been a while since my original review, so I thought it was time for an update. My sister and I visit this venue every few months for their Thursday grill nights, which are competitively priced and popular. Our favourites remain the same but we’ve also discovered a fantastic prawn and cheese starter (sometimes on the specials). I particularly love their garlic bread with cheese.
Visiting so often, I wanted to emphasise the consistently good service. The team is always pleasant and serves great food. If anything’s not quite right, they’re eager to please and fix it quickly. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is always good, so we’ll definitely keep coming back. The original review and 5-star rating remain valid as we always look forward to our meals at this venue.
Our main server (a gent), is always attentive, chatty and eager to please. His apple and cherry crumble pudding recommendation was also excellent.
Original Review (March 2025)
The Crown Inn in Gilmorton is a convenient local pub and restaurant to meet up with my sister. For birthday meals and general catch-ups, it is a good venue to eat, drink, and chat.
The pub has an excellent menu and variety with themed nights that offer a carvery, grill nights, and even a fish and chip night. The service is also very good with friendly staff, hence one of the reasons for returning. Therefore, it is not surprising that the venue is popular and often has a healthy number of diners and a good atmosphere. To avoid disappointment, we always book in advance.
We have visited quite a lot over the past couple of years, and while we have tried most menu options like the carvery, we particularly like the grill nights when you can choose from steak, gammon, or a burger at a special price. I am particularly partial to their garlic bread with cheese, which is really generous in size. In truth, it is enough for two, but I can get through it!
For our last few visits, my sister and I have opted for the steak (rump), with peppered sauce and a side of onion rings. The steak, chips, and peas are presented well, and I pour the peppered sauce all over. The onion rings portion is also very generous and complements the mains.
Often we finish with a tea or coffee and occasionally a pudding. If you live near this pub, we would definitely recommend it as they make you feel welcome. Great service and food at reasonable pricing.
