Just to counter the negative reviews our visit was great. Despite being very busy due to a wake and a party the bar staff assured us our food order wouldn’t be an issue and it wasn’t - our starters and mains arrived with perfect timing and the bar staff were very friendly and helpful at all times, making tweaks for my son’s order without any issue. The food was fresh and tasty, especially the whitebait and calamari starters.

Probably the worst pub food I’ve experienced, poor quality food for the price. We will not be returning there are plenty of good eating houses in the area

A return for a club supper. We hold a monthly club supper which we rotate around several local pubs and inns. The Crown is always a favourite. It cozy, historic, genuinely, has a wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and good food and drink. It’s alway popular with the members. They were not disappointed. Great evening. We noticed more “Asian” dishes on the menu which was a nice change.

Work Stay This was my second stay at The Crown at Harnhill, and once again, it did not disappoint! From the moment I arrived, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that everything was perfect throughout my stay. The room was comfortable, well-kept, and had all the little touches that make a stay extra special. A good night’s sleep was guaranteed with the cozy bed and peaceful surroundings. The food was another highlight! I started with the scampi and pork crackling, and let’s be honest—who can say no to pork crackling? Both were absolutely delicious, perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor. My main was just as impressive, and breakfast the next morning was amazing. I had the Eggs Benedict, which was cooked to perfection, and the ham was to die for—so full of flavor and beautifully prepared. It’s clear that The Crown at Marnhill prides itself on excellent service and high-quality hospitality. I’ll definitely be returning again in the future. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely, welcoming pub. Really good food and bedroom warm and comfortable after a cold day of racing at Wincanton ! Staff very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was very good with great choice. Will be back!

Really sorry to say, that the meal was very disappointing. We had pre ordered as we were a group. The food was bland, and most of it tasted as if it had been reheated, and not cooked freshly. The lady behind the bar/ waitress was rude. Very over priced, for the food & drinks.

I took my family to the crown for Sunday lunch we could not get a table else where. Service was OK, I had the three meat roast ,which was a chicken drumstick? A slice of beef & a slice of pork ( possibly belly) seemed odd & lacked any green vegetables, all though a big plate for £24.95 way over priced for average at best food !! For that price you should be the best for miles !! Really not shame .

Visited twice in a week. Excellent menu, massive choice, big portions and quality ingredients. Very friendly staff too. Highly recommended. They have specials each night of the week like Tuesday night is curry night. Brilliant value food.
