The Old Crown Inn

We were with friends and family for a Sunday supper. Between us we had beef, lamb and pork which were all fantastic - perfectly cooked, generous portions and delicious. They catered without any fuss for my gluten and dairy free requirement. Rosie who was serving us as well as running the bar was just amazing. Despite it being a really hot day she was nothing but smiling and helpful. Highly recommended for roasts 😁

Kate is keeping the family pub going in difficult times and is doing a great job. A good number of people at the bar when we arrived but we were instantly spotted as the people who had booked the rooms. The welcome was wonderful and she has to be one of the most helpful people I have met. Our needs were simple, but nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The showers were very good: water was hot and water pressure very good. Breakfasts could be as substantial as you want but we just wanted a light breakfast much to Kate's disbelief. Admin seems to get done on a Monday, so don't expect an instant email or telphone response, but don't let that put you off. It is more than made up by the welcome you will receive. Dog friendly and ask about the Gorilla inthe village 100 years ago

My Wife and I were staying at a local AirBNB just up the road (The Piggery, also excellent !) and decided to have our evening meal at the pub. Both our meals were exceptional but what made it so memorable was the super friendly staff. We were made to feel so welcome it was amazing. Next time we are in the area a meal at the Old Crown is definitely on the itinerary !!

Visited today for Sunday lunch (though it was this evening!). The food was all freshly cooked and delicious, we had pork x 2, a baked cod and a mushroom Wellington. They were quite busy when we arrived but service was with a smile and friendly chat. I had sticky toffee pudding for dessert - also home made! Absolutely lovely! Highly recommend this lovely little pub!

We stayed one night as we were hiking the Cotswolds Way. It was awful! The shower was really mouldy, with a previous guest's razor still in the shower and the shower unit was so grimy I really didn't want to use it. The bed sheet was directly on the mattress as were the pillow cases. The room was just grim. It was like staying in uni halls in the 70s. |Dinner was a disaster- we waited over an hour for our food and when it arrived there were two hairs in my food. When I sent it back it was returned minus the hairs! Albeit the waiter was very apologetic.|Neither owner came to apologise but we were not charged for our meal (which i did not eat!). I happened to pass the kitchen when the door was open and it looked pretty disgusting inside. There was food debris all over the floor and it did not look clean.|Our room overlooked the outdoor tables and on waking we saw that all the previous nights plates and glasses were still piled on the tables! I'm sure the local wildlife enjoyed licking the plates!!|Overall I would suggest staying else where if at all possible.

Well what can I say, pubs don’t get much better than this. We have been for drinks and food at the Top Crown a few times now and always a very friendly welcome from Tom and Kate. Beer selection never fails to disappoint and the food is great, all cooked from scratch with a lot of care and attention to every detail - so tasty. Sunday lunch is epic - best we have ever had and no extra charges for things like cauliflower cheese get yourself down there!

Lovely old country pub, serves we'll-conditioned ale. We stayed for the night, the room was somewhat basic, but clean with a powerful shower and a comfy bed. Owner Kate and the barman, who also cooks a fabulous breakfast, were charming and very welcoming.

Stopped for lunch after a nice circular walk to Nympsfield and back with the dog Some great items on the menu, but as it was Friday we went for the fish and chips and a burger. Got to say it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. And the fish was excellent as well. Fantastic home made food and friendly service.

We booked a table for a Sunday lunch and chose the pub as they accepted dogs. Had a lovely walk, arrived a bit early but were happy to have a drink and wait. Ordered our food and waited an hour for our food to come out, ordered the mixed roast at £18 as we wanted all the trimmings, when it came out it looked like scraps of leftovers! Cold Yorkshire pudding, cold stuffing, no crackling, lukewarm potatoes, not even complete meats, waited 10 mins for the veg which looked nowhere near enough for 1 person let alone 2! We asked the lad who served us to tell what meat we had as they all looked the same ....scraps, he said he had no idea. Asked a lady if she was the manager, her response, depends who's asking. Explained the issue, she was uninterested, just said they were very busy today but just read their reviews as they are really good! So leaving this one for you to decide! Would not go back ever again! Total shambles! And no way of getting a Sunday roast this late in the day so thank you very much!

My first English pub experience was at the Old Crown Inn, and it did not disappoint! Everything from the atmosphere, the food, and the price fit my perfect fantasy of a local English pub experience. A few elderly chaps in the corner, a couple with their little dog next to their table, and lots of local flair! After a hike through the countryside, my sister-in-law and I stopped here for some post-hiking sustenance around lunch. This 17th century rustic, cottage-style lodge serves ale, hard cider, and some down-home English country soul food! I shared a bacon and brie sandwich, added a little ketchup, and OMG! My taste buds were very merry, indeed. Top it all off with a pint of dry English cider. This pub has a gorgeous authenticity about it, with its cracked stone walls and cozy "wood and wine" color theme. It's full of some serious character! Seating is limited, so you might want to call ahead to check if they are busy. And their website lets you know what local ales are currently being offered on tap. This is a real hidden gem, Dursley! Thanks for making this silly American girl very happy.

A true British pub, something to be really proud of!! The Old Crown is exactly what a good traditional pub should be.. they serve fantastic local ales from the Uley brewery less than a mile down the road and they occasionally have guest ales on tap... my mouth is watering thinking about it! The atmosphere is exactly what you expect from a village pub, the pub staff and the customers are friendly and welcoming, there's a real sense of community here but if you walk in as an outsider, you become part of it by the time you finish your first pint. Good but simple food is served at lunch and in the evening, don't expect fancy gastro-pub food, this place is keeping it real, still serving up proper pub grub. Gotta love it!

Good beer but the service couldn't have been less friendly I've been twice over the past two months and the reception was the he same. I don't think I'll go again.
