L. E.

So in love with the Pizza here.. had the pulled pork one and it was fresh and tasty.. not only the good food but the staff were friendly and quick in service.. located by the main street and easy to find. Will come here often as this pub just a walk distance from our house

A. M.

Found this place when looking for a roast and the local Toby had over an hours wait. Boy did we luck out. Both food and service was 5 star. We will be back

A. h.

Excellent food at reasonable price. Staff always friendly and helpful. would recommend to family and friends.

A. S.

Had a lovely Family meal outside in the marquee. Looked after really well. Well worth the visit.

C. P.

I would strongly recommend the Lexden Crown to anyone who is thinking of stopping for a nice meal and/or drink. In particular the beer garden is a highlight and a lovely place to enjoy a cold drink in the sunshine with summer (almost) here. The pork belly went down as a favourite amongst our group. 5*s for sure

L. S.

Lovely roast dinner lots of meat and veg nice little pub not much parking so need to park on main road

Had a private function here for my mothers 94th Birthday Celebration. Camilla was more than helpful with organising the Buffet including Wheat and Gluten free options.

Restaurant food was nice but slightly let down by the service. The burger that I had was nice but not cooked to order. Nice atmosphere here thanks to the small set of rooms layout

C. B.

Can highly recommend! Always go here, very worthwhile! Reasonable priced, excellent location and a good variety here. Best to go during the week as weekends can get super busy! :) Can highly recommend! Always go here, very worthwhile! Reasonable priced, excellent location and a good variety here.

Great local pub with good food and friendly staff. Go there on the wood fired pizza oven nights (Wednesday to Saturday) for a pizza that puts most dedicated pizza restaurants to shame!

R. P.

C. L.

I visited last night for dinner to catch up with a friend. We had a great evening! The service was quick and very friendly, and gave good recommendations when we couldn't decide what to order. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed it! Really good selection on the menu including some nice seasonal options. I had the brie bites to start, the burger with brie and cranberry sauce and a delicious salted caramel cheesecake for dessert! All were fantastic and so delicious. What a lovely place - we'll definitely be back again.

P. J.

Stopped for some lunch on a long journey. Really nice food and as it was a nice day we sat outside. Beer garden is nice.

Take away service excellent in terms of food quality . Good mid week menus and Sunday roasts. Food is hot on arrival. Would suggest customer collects as delivery can be delayed as ours was one Sunday.When could not get through one time, they rang me back. Had lunch in Lexden Crown today 31st July. Excellent Sunday roast ...good portions and service good. Many eating outside in the marquee as very warm today.

F. N.

We don’t live locally so hadn’t been here before booking for our wedding food. Since then, every time we have been the food has been unbelievably good. All staff are welcoming and you can definitely tell that the food is completely home made. One of our favourite restaurants now by far!

Lovely venue

D. W.

A nice place with character. The food is decent enough but a little over priced for what it is.

J. D.

Staff were very frendly and helpful, but it would have been nice if the outside seating area had been warm or even heated. Saidly while everyone else in our party enjoyed their food emensley, my nut roast was soggie, unpleasant and tasted mostly of turnip I was also disappointed with my pudding the ice cream scoops were tiny and tasted like cheep off brand ice cream.

R. I.

I had lunch with a friend and the food was amazing and so was the service. Fully recommend.

J. G.

1st time visit had a delicious meal for valentines day, made to feel welcome.... however sadly not a real pub more of a restaurant feel... snug where you have to sit with dog was cold so had to leave 🥶 shame as only staying 5 min walk away 🙄 maybe try the garden room next time when weather improves...

D. H.

Lovely food slow with serving drinks though

M. E.

From the moment I entered I knew I had made the right decision, they sold beer and served me with a smile what more could I wish for

Very good food and service

S. S.

The staff is really lovel, friendly, helpful and very welcoming. I would give the staff 5*. The 2 young waiters were particularly refreshing and efficient. It has a lovely outside seating area. However, I must say I felt the food was average. We had the duck croquette as a starter. It was delicious (5/5). I chose the Spanish chicken and my husband pick the ribeye steak. It wasn't on a bone! A third of it was fat. My chicken was really tender but only came with 4 small pieces of potatoes. I was somewhat disappointed in the lemon meringue pie. It wasn't bad but rather average. I have to say their coffee was nice. Although I felt the food was a bit over average I would still recommend it.

I ate at the lexden crown the other day with family and we have now found our new favourite place to eat! The food is amazing, they have a wide selection of drinks and overall the service was faultless. I would definitely recommend.

J. F.

Have visited twice but haven't been inside yet, instead have made use of their outside tables and attentive service. Both visits were for a Sunday roast where each component was exceptional. Recommend getting a side order or their cauliflower cheese which was amazing. Good selection of deserts too. Experience topped off with friendly staff who are invested in ensuring you enjoy your visit. Fully recommended.

J. O.

Amazing service and amazing food.

Lovely meal had by all. Battered fish was delicious, fresh fish and crispy batter. Homemade pizzas were cooked to perfection with tasty toppings. Nice covered outside area as well as seating in side this lovely old pub. Friendly staff.

L. J.

Very nice and friendly pub, the food is a cut above normal pub grub. The wood fired pizzas a delicious but need a couple more choices for me

M. K.

Great service, the trio roast dinner was amazing and great value Had a lovely visit and will definitely be back ☺

C. K.

I went there with my elderly parents, and the staff were absolutely fantastic, superb service extremely kind and so helpful. Lunch was lovely. Went on the 6th Feb 2022 and everyone who was working then were wonderful. Thank you for a fabulous lunch.

c. l.

This little gem was recommended to us be another pub! We went for Sunday lunch of slow braised belly pork, stuffing, roast potatoes and 4 accompanying vegetables. Finished off with an oversized yorkshire and gravy. It was a very large portion of food and extremely delicious to eat. With a pint and one half of ale, and X 2- 2 scoops of ice cream desert with shortbread fingers followed by one coffee the total cost was £47. Not cheap but quality and quantity makes this worth the price. Lovely interior with large garden for those wanting to dine outside. Clean loos...always important, and tables still spaced a short distance apart. All in all a fantastic place to eat. Would recommend booking a table. Lovely staff.

M.

Fantastic choice of food, tasted delicious too. Great service. Only quibble if I have to pick was the price of the wine. I thought paying over £9 for a large red was a bit steep? Will definitely be returning, but drinking something else next time 😊👍

m. c.

Great service, food was most enjoyable. Belly of pork was delicious with the crackling on top. Lovely place to celebrate my birthday and my grandsons. Seating inside and under cover outside. Plus a cheese board was on the dessert menu. Win win.

N. M.

The most delicious food in the area for me on a Sunday. I prefer the cricketers with an open fire place and lots of room, however the food quality is my number 1 choice!

A. H.

Lovely environment. Friendly service and amazing food.

R. W.

What can we say. We had 2nd sitting Christmas Day for 8 of us. Sam, Matt and the Team were superb. The food..table and service was excellent. Certainly will be back very soon. WELL DONE GUYS!!

K. B.

Came here for Sunday lunch with my family. I highly recommend the roast dinners. All the food was really tasty and the children's roast dinners were a great size too! To top it off the staff were really friendly and welcoming, even when our young children were running around the crazies :)

J. T.

Been passed here so many times but never been in ....it was such a lovely surprise...menu very good ..went on a Sunday had a roast staff so helpful and accommodating my only miff was my 2 dessert choices they didn't have but hey ho

l. m.

Superb service. Excellent venue . My son had his 18th birthday party in there . Very understanding staff with a key element of customer needs and satisfaction .. Thanks to everyone at Lexden Crown 👑

E. P.

Lovely pub, great interior and delicious food. It was raining when we visited but there was a nice covered terraced area. Staff were very attentive and polite. Would recommend!

J. H.

Very enjoyable meal (great swordfish), good service and comfortable environment.

J. W.

Excellent buffet put on for private party.. friendly staff, lovely atmosphere ....

D. A.

2021 lockdown easing visit. We booked a table for 5 and were sat quickly. Waiting staff were wonderfully attentive. Everything ordered arrived in very reasonable time. Great quality food. I have also used the Lexden Crown for takeaway during the pandemic, thoroughly recommended

J. L. W.

Great service from all the team. Very organised and friendly manageress. Lovely food and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend 👌 Very nice garden area and clean throughout. My only very slight negative comment is the toilets are very low (like children's) this is painful for anyone with hip problems like me.

B. G.

Had Sunday lunch today with friends. Service was friendly and personal, and the food was absolutely superb. So good that we’ve booked again for next week!!

J. C.

Great food, friendly staff and a really nice outside dining area. Food was fast, warm and well cooked. Cider was lovely and chilled and presented perfectly. A better meal you couldn't ask for. Very reasonable pricing too!

D. C.

Good atmosphere, very enjoyable meal.

E. W.

My family and I visited The Lexden Crown for the 1st time on Sunday and we were more than impressed. The roasts were delicious and you definitely get plenty for what you pay for. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very chilled and relaxed. The staff were incredibly attentive, which we always appreciate as such a large group. The manager Sam was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. Will be back again very soon :)

S. W.

Just ordered a meal for two. All is good except the food was very greasy. The food was fresh, well-cooked and warm upon arrival. Almost perfect. Happy new year guys 🎉🎉🎉 Best wishes in the future. We will be ordering again.

A. H.

Fantastic food. Lovely place. Great atmosphere - feels relaxed and comfortable, even when it's busy! Never been disappointed.

M. S.

I haven't ever eaten in the Crown, I tend to just go there for the occasional beer. The staff are really nice but I would say that it's expensive for what it is. The car park is tiny and they have now implemented a check-in to park there as well.

F. F.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE LAMB ROAST!! LOVELY PLACE AND STAFF AND FOOD IS YUMMY YUMMY!

C. A.

Our first meal here tonight and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff are all very polite, friendly and attentive. Have booked again for next Saturday. Highly recommend.

L. S.

Wonderful food, the best restaurant in the area

C. B.

Stopped in for quick lunch. Although the garden was empty but for 1 table, our order if mixed starters took forever to come. One dish tasteless but was at least refunded. Others sub standard. Pity.

R. D.

Good experience here for our Christmas party, food was good and so was the service

K. C.

What a lovely place. Fabulous atmosphere. Excellent home cooked food, very reasonably priced. Wonderful staff. An added bonus to meet up again with the lovely Pippo who used to work in White Hart in Coggeshall. So good to see you again after leaving White Hart. So glad you are happy in your new lovely job. Will definitely visit again. Lovely staff, food looked amazing. Highly recommended.

D. C.

Car park is a bit snug but manageable. This was our first visit to The Lexden and we have mixed views, firstly the staff are all lovely and extremely helpful. Ample outside seating, and dogs allowed 👍🏻 my husband had the salmon and he said it was perfect and thoroughly enjoyed it, I ordered the lasagna which when they came to bring it to the table the server said "who's is the chicken" it was dry on top and had great difficulty cutting it, I'm not saying it wasn't homemade but that it must have been heated up to cause it to shrivel up and be so hard. I must say the rest of our group their food was good so this was just a bit of a let down for the dish I had chosen.

H. C.

Had a meal here last night. We sat in the garden and the setting was very nice (fairy lights, unique tables and under a marquee). It was a Friday night and at first it was very quiet. We got seated and took our order very quickly. All staff very prompt and polite. We got cheesy garlic pizza bread to start which was cooked in the pizza ovens outside. Was very nice. For main I got the Thai chicken curry. Was really flavourful and had good amount of authentic vegetables. My girlfriend got fish and chips...was OK but the batter was very oily. We both had sticky toffee puddings for desert which were OK, ice cream was better than the pudding itself. As the evening went on it got very busy and service slowed down significantly. Not the staffs fault but probably could have done with 1 extra server on a Friday night. For drinks we both had Aspall ciders but drinks options was vast. The overall price was about 70 pounds which is quite reasonable for a lot of food and 4 drinks. You could easily pay £40 for two by just getting a main and one drink each. Overall a good experience and tasty food, look forward to going again.

L. Y.

The atmosphere is perfect with a lovely outdoor garden with plenty of seating. However, the beverages let me down as they were very weak. Me and my boyfriend both had 3 gins and vodka + lemonade and they were all watered down, which is quite disappointing. The Sunday roast was just average. Big portions.However, you don’t get enough gravy and the Yorkshire puddings we’re far too crunchy. The service was excellent , food and drinks came within minutes and staff were all lovely. However, the staff did not keep track off what was ordered when asked “is this a lamb roast” as me and my boyfriend both had different dishes and the waitress looked so puzzled and replied “ I have no idea”. The major disappointment was being charged for pudding that never came.

J. G.

Had lunch for mother's day, fantastic hospitality and friendly atmosphere. Very recommended

K. S.

Hadn't been here before but wanted a meet up with some friends out of town. Great outdoor set-up with really friendly staff. Good beer and a cracking burger! As someone once said.... I'll be back!

B. L.

The takeaway roast is amazing, absolutely delicious, great value for money, they give you so much food and it’s excellent quality! Staff are friendly and welcoming when you go and collect it. Highly recommend!

Haven’t had the best experience, unfortunately. The place is cozy and has a small outdoor space too. However, the staff wasn’t so friendly and the food lacked flavour. Looks like it’s a family business hence four stars...

We haven't actually been here yet with how this year has been but we have had a few take away roasts and they are lovey. The apple crumble is very tasty. We will definitely visit once we have normality back

First experience here, although I've lived in the area for my entire life and can honestly say it's a hidden gem! Had a lamb roast dinner and my partner had a chicken one, we accompanied it with added pig in blankets and cauliflower cheese, all food was lovely and well presented, only criticism we had was that the roasts could have been roasted longer and that the waitress forgot the cauliflower cheese so we had to wait for it to arrive although we had eaten most of our dinner. But with thoughts aside the staff are very pleasant and the interior and decor was clean and well established. I highly recommend and we will definitely be returning again!

Nice little pub, food was nice but was very oily. Our server was very nice but it seems like the other staff couldn't care less, they stood around the bar doing absolutely nothing except chatting rather loudly with each other and the pub was hardly empty so they definetly could have been doing something more productive . Also i find the their choice of conversation topic was hardly appropriate, considering there was children walking past them quite frequently, chatting about how they need a 'baby daddy' and even asking their coworker if they'd consider it and even more leud conversation topics I dont feel are appropriate to post on here.

Enjoyed a tasty and generously large roast chicken dinner on a Sunday. The staff were all friendly and efficient, and the design of the interior felt homely yet modern. Would happily return!

Cane here for a meal as part of a birthday celebration. As it was the run up to Christmas a table had been booked which is just as well as it was busy that night. The plusses were that the food was really good and the serving staff were very friendly and helpful. Things that could be slightly better, it was a bit cramped, but that had more to do with the pub being very old therefore not designed for space and it was a bit dark to read menus! Phones out with torchlight for that. But a pleasant evening out.

Brilliant! The staff went out of their way to accommodate our party of 20 at very short notice on Sunday 10th March. They couldn't do enough for us and the food was amazing! Nothing was too much trouble and a brilliant time was had by all. Thank you very much. Would highly recommend. Lindsay Curtis.

Don't know where to start with The Lexden Crown... this pub is like a second-home to my friends and I. We absolutely love it. The food, the staff, the atmosphere is all fantastic, and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. I've held a private party here as well which was stress free and a great space for a birthday do! 5 out of 5! Check it out.

M. C.

Very nice , comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. Nice staff very friendly. Cater for all your needs. I haven't had a meal there but looks good. Nice garden at the back if you wish to sit out in the summer.

Varied menu, with great quality food and good service.

B. W.

Food was lovely however I had to keep going to the bar to get my own drinks which were very expensive. Then I was told that I must let the staff know I was a VIP member even though I had booked through one of their ads. The conversation embarrassed me in front of my family. Overall a lovely pub but very over priced.

S. H.

We had lunch today at our local pub. Covid regulations in place and adhered to at all times which was reassuring! Wonderful food and great friendly service from Paul and Naomi. Thanks guys 😃

Thank you so much for my full English today. I walked from mark's tey to turner rise and hubby picked me up there. The brekkie was brill and certainly value for money

T. L.

Not a bad little pub although the service can be a bit hit and miss. When it gets busy it can feel very chaotic and isn’t particularly relaxing. Food is good but expensive.

A. F.

Booked a table for 7, at short notice today, no probs. Food was veru good, good price & the staff, very polite & very helpful. Definitely will go again. Many thanks from my Family.

A beautiful walled garden with plenty of benches and comfy seats. We ordered pork belly and nut roast. Food came relatively quickly and was absolutely delicious. Very good portions too. The veggies were juicy and tender. We don't come very often but it's well worth the occasional visit. Definitely recommend!
