Absolutely fantastic, booked for a 70th birthday on 23-12-2025. Very accommodating. Service was outstanding. LIV and the others were very attentive. Food was great. Couldn't fault it. Many thanks.
We had been at the beach and were longing for a seafood platter. Not being able to find one close to the sea we were on our way back to the campsite. Google mapping the route back I found The Crown, I called to book and within 15 mins they had a table for us - great service! The food was delicious! So fresh and flavoursome. A great selection on the menu and very accommodating to personal requests - another nod to great service! Children’s menu was fresh and had a good range for all. The portions were very generous with the children’s and didn’t flake on flavour! Our children chose from the children’s menu the garlic bread and Mezze platter then both having homemade burgers followed by a huge brownie and giant slab of sticky toffee pudding. If we didn’t live so far away… Oxford, we would be regulars! Highly recommend.
Nice pub with rooms in East Rudham. Well located to Fakenham, Sandringham and King's Lynn. Rest and pub dining. Staff very friendly. Bar was not very busy for a Thursday night. Room nice and comfortable. Had the vegetarian breakfast which was freshly cooked and tasty. Hot drinks, juices and croissants available.
Great place. Staff friendly and helpful. Didn’t eat any food but it did look great when walking through
We had the most delicious dinner in The Crown. They were very accommodating for my elderly Dad, the service was excellent and Dad thought the cheesecake was the best he’d ever had. Thoroughly recommend.
Fourth time we've stopped en route and second time stayed overnight and dined. Each time was lovely. Great, spacious room with super comfy bed and large bathroom. Lots of nice extras. Both our evening meal and breakfast were beautifully presented and piping hot. All the staff we encountered were so friendly. Dog friendly, cosy pub with great ambience. Great to see it packed on a Monday night!
Visited here for an evening out with Dinner. Excellent pub/ restaurant/ hotel. Food was great, service also, 10 % discount geven to locals. Very Nice ambiance, great choice of local ales.
We stayed at The Crown Inn in East Rudham for one night as a couple on a leisure trip and had a lovely experience. From the moment we arrived, the owners were incredibly welcoming and friendly, which really set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The inn itself is full of character, with charming decor that gives it a warm and homely feel. Our room was comfortable and nicely styled, perfect for a short countryside escape. The highlight for us was the excellent restaurant — the dinner was absolutely delicious, with a great atmosphere to match. Breakfast the next morning was also very good, with quality ingredients and thoughtful service. Overall, The Crown Inn is a delightful place to stay, especially if you appreciate friendly hospitality and good food in a characterful setting. We’d definitely return!
