"I visited The Crown yesterday evening for my son's birthday with my other sons and my partner. We have visited many times over the year the last time was last Friday for lunch and although a little on the pricey side the...food is well cooked and presented and the service excellent. Last night was a dismal occasion. I had called in the morning to reserve a table was given a time of I asked if there were vegan options and was told that there were and explained that we were celebrating a birthday too. We arrived at and were taken to our table for drinks. we then waited minutes for our order to be taken. They were very busy with another party however had I been aware that this was going to cause issues with service I would not have booked. The service was very slow, we felt ignored as other smaller tables were served far quicker. The main meals my partner and I ordered were awful my lobster and linguine were dry and tasteless clearly had sat under a heat lamp my partners piri piri spatchcock chicken was greasy and appeared to have been deep fried with no hint of piri piri. and both meals were sent back. The vegan option for a starter was broad bean soup with a cheese crouton ! So NOT vegan. My son did choose this minus the crouton and the main was a cauliflower chop on a bed of curried chickpeas that was the vegan menu again had I know this I would not have booked but was mis informed by whoever took my phone call. Although the other meals were good and the puddings excellent sadly the cheese offering was not good i have seen the cheese platter presented beautifully on previous occasions, this time it was a mess of celery and grapes with small pieces of cheese and biscuits poking through, the whole meal concluded past when I had to chase the waitress for the bill i had not intended to spend over three hours at the restaurant. There was also a reduction of for my meal although my partners had been refunded as I had chewed my way through my half lobster. Needless to say there was no recognition of my sons birthday again in times gone by there would have been. As I said before, we have been frequent visitors to this restaurant in the past but will be trying the new restaurant in the next village now, sadly."

I held a birthday celebration meal in one of the private rooms at the Crown on Sunday. The welcome and organisation was excellent and the staff were so hospitable. The food was really lovely and the service excellent. Many of my guests said that they...enjoyed the meal and the way we were made so welcome by the staff. I would highly recommend the Crown at Bildeston. Voir le carte

I visited yesterday for my usual treat but standards have rapidly gone down. Beer choice was limited compared to usual, menu choice was exactly the same as twice before and the standard of food served was awful compared to the usual. My steak was cruicified...after asking for medium rare and didn't appear to be sirloin at all. Service was also very poor compared to the high standards i am used to here. Will now try to find an alternative treat.

since some places in recent years we have always been very happy with eating and service. although it was always worth it. Unfortunately, yesterday it seems to be significantly worse. Eating was only best described as average, we found one. hair in the brot that I expected a reaction from the waitress, but all we got was oh, I take that away for you. it was replaced, but no offer of something to compensate and no real sign of regret that it had happened. unbelievably! so disappointing. we will not disturb the journey there again.

Came here will our son and daughter in law as they have been before and loved it. The Crown inside has been tastefully refurbished. The service was first class attentive and friendly. We all ordered different starters and could not fault the presentation and flavours....Again all different main as before all fantastic as were the selection of deserts. Pictures attached. The Gin, local ale and red wire very nice. Some may find the portion sizes small but fine for us and may be expensive for some but it is not your normal pub food. The only thing that annoys me if that the owners think they are above themselves to comment/reply to any comments wether positive or not. Voir le carte

beautiful building with very attractive outdoor seating. the eating did not live in the environment. had the feeling that the kitchen had to overcome a triumph of the ambitious over the talent. to be fair, the starter of wild mushrooms has packed and packed a tasteful stamp. the duck gyozas were also good. then it went down very quickly. three of our four main courses were very disappointing. the rump of suffolk lamb was hard (maybe overcooked), although the cheeseburger was very understated despite a special question (medical reasons), which should be done well, and the classic fish and chips was a medium, small part. the service was polite, but very, very slow and more amateurish. we had t...

We ate here in a large party for a very special occasion, so we had booked the function room. It was a very nice room. The staff knew the nature of the occasion we were celebrating but there was no effort to be congratulatory or...festive. I suppose the staff were trying to be formal, but they just came across as po-faced and unfriendly. The food was beautifully presented and around one third of our party enjoyed their meal. The rest of us were very disappointed. It just wasn't very nice! I don't know how else to say it! I had lobster with linguine...the lobster was ok but the linguine absolutely inedible. I could have sworn it was Heinz Spaghetti Bolognese with a teaspoon of chilli powder a...

"I hope we were just unlucky, and I feel sad writing this, but it wasn't the best experience this weekend. We stayed overnight and had the tasting menu. The Creppy family are departed a while now, and the staff such as Henri that stayed on are long gone, they set unbelievably high standards which were always going to be hard to meet. We loved the room we stayed in, but the rest of the experience was a bit awkward. I feel sorry for them as it was super hot and it must be difficult to get staff at the moment, but when you have paid £500 for one night and food inc wine then things can be a bit disappointing. From the start we could tell that they were under the cosh, the manager was sick, and we were told repeatedly how busy they were tonight. We asked to eat 30 mins later than booked which they said would help. We ordered a half bottle of champagne but had to wait about 15 minutes as the fridge was broken at it would not be cold. It arrived and wasn't cold enough really, then after 10 minutes in the ice bucket it was. Simultaneously other guests were told the coffee machine was also broken. A bit of a shame as we were celebrating a birthday and it sort of spoiled the moment waiting for a drink. Then ordered a 2014 Pomerol which to be honest I found really rather average, but that is the luck of the draw. The food was quite good, but only one course impressed us, the trout was good. The staff seem very downbeat to the point of it being awkward, one told us and another table to make as much mess as we like as it was her last shift. Others seemed very awkward and lacking confidence/a smile. Again, hard to get quality staff at the moment, but there seemed to be a lack of pride/confidence in what is being delivered. I also asked for cheese to finish off, in the past they had a glorious cheese cart with a huge selection of great cheeses. I accept maybe it was too hot for this, but I was simply given a plate of three cheeses, no one asked me if I would like to choose anything or for example do I like blue cheese. Then when it was delivered my wife tried one of them, liked it so asked what it was, and they didn't know what the cheese was which is probably not what they aspire to. makes me sad as the cheese at the Great House is stuff of legend. More minor stuff: Breakfast wise the coffee in the percolator was way too strong even for someone who likes strong coffee, a tiny shot of milk was not enough so we asked for more, would have been nice to be offered hot milk to make Cafe Au Lait etc. Also another minor point, the soap and shower gels were quite horrible, they stick to you and don't wash off, not something I'm usually bothered about, but the half empty containers looked like they had be refilled with something not very nice, or it was just never very good. When we checked out I think the manager may have been back, he did not ask us once how our stay had been so we had no real chance to say anything. We tried to be understanding and of course being British nothing was really a problem for us, but when you've spent £500 for a birthday it was all a bit disappointing and not nearly up to par. I sympathise that it might have been a difficult night, but to be honest it would have come off better if I hadn't been reminded every few minutes that they were so busy and everything going wrong. I'm not even sure that they were that busy, the terrace was out of bounds and the restaurant was 3/4 full. Matters were drawn in to focus the next day when we went to the Weavers Spa, and also for lunch at the Crown in Stoke by Nayland, staff were cheerful, helpful and great at both of these local places. Sorry for writing this negative review which I feel sad to have written about a place we used to love. Rooms: 4 Service: 2 Location: 4"
