Well portioned tasty roasts with a variety of meats on offer. Plenty of side options available and delicious dessert options too. No faults!

  I visited the Crown Inn for breakfast which was very tasty, freshly cooked, and filling.Great menu, Great service, friendly staff, clean, tidy, freshly decorated, cosy warm feeling atmosphere, would definitely... read more have another visit for breakfast, maybe a lunch or dinner. We'll worth a 10 minute drive. Thanks Crown inn.

  We had a most enjoyable evening at the crown ,the chap named Peter was so helpful and the food was wonderful, the lamb chop starter was fabulous also the spicy... read more chicken wings too were great, our main courses were lovely ,sea bass and gourmet burger, helpings plentiful. the place was clean and staff friendly, we were only staying in the village for one night but if ever in that area again we would definitely visit the The Crown and wish them all the best for the future.

  Popped in for an evening bite to eat as we were working in the area. Pub looks very nice and fresh, fire on and staff more than happy to chat... read more and help.

Food was fantastic wish we ate here the night before.

Would highly recommend

  Always a fantastic experience visiting the Crown. Great service, lovely beer/wine and food top notch. Huge amounts of effort have been put into the pub, particularly during recent months (COVID-19)... read more to make this a safe and pleasant village pub!!

  All 6 of is very much enjoyed our meals at the Crown today. The meat for the roasts were fantastic, and as some couldn't of us couldn't choose one, the... read more 4 meat roast was a great choice. Mains, sides and veg were all excellent. Service impeccable too, a good mixture of being attentive but also leaving us to it when needed. Very much recommend to others. Keep up the great work Aaron and the rest of the team

  Excellent night. Great group of locals. Great food. Friendly staff. A must go to place and the end of a journey.

  Expensive food! £18 for roast duo of pork! £16 for beef. We don’t mind paying good money for a roast, but neither meal was worth the above price! Beef was... read more fatty, could only eat a little bit, pork loin dry as a bone and the pork belly cubes minimal! Gravy near on flavourless, and gluey in texture. Vegetable selection was good however, but extra side veg was expensive again! Cauliflower cheese had hardly any cheese sauce, so was dry.
Some staff were good, the two dark haired ladies, another staff member was ill and therefore going into and out of the toilet, sick left in toilet!!! Hope she washed her hands!? Also saw said waitress coming in from outside and immediately taking plates, no hand washing??
Drinks were good price, so if popping in for a drink then fair enough.
Table location, uncomfortable, old furniture with stains on the seats. Felt in the way of staff members.
All in all, disappointing and will likely not return, mainly based on the ‘London’ food prices!

  I highly recommend a visit with your friends & family for a beautifully cooked breakfast at The Crown Inn Elsenham! They provide a top class friendly service paired with freshly... read more cooked local produce. (Perfectly cooked poached eggs) Fantastic value for money and my friends and I will be returning there very soon! Thank you so much! A*****

  Just had an excellent meal at the Crown Inn. The food was very tasty, we had the Korean pork bites and breaded prawns for starters, then I had the Cajun... read more Chicken burger and my wife had the rib which was just melt in the mouth and my daughter the ham egg and chips. It was so nice and the service polite and prompt and the pricing was just right.
Can not recommend this place more. Please visit and see what we mean.

  We had booked a few weeks in advance but when we arrived we couldn’t get seated, it was extremely busy for Sunday lunch which is good to see on the... read more local place but they were way over booked. When we did get a seat and ordered the food it was okay but way over priced for what you got. Portion size was tiny. We got one and a half thin slices of meat that was stone cold, the veggies were cold and way under cooked and two roast potatoes each.
I’ve been a few times since it reopened but I think this will now be our last. I’ve seen lots of nice pictures posted on Facebook by this place but that’s definitely not what we were served. I would of sent the food back but the server wasn’t the friendliest after getting our drinks order wrong. Lots of other nice places close by to try instead.

  The new management have done a fantastic job in the reopening of this pub, food is great, service is great, prices are reasonable. If you do plan to eat, I... read more would book a table at the earliest opportunity as its always full.

  Great atmosphere, lovely food and such friendly staff. Will definitely be returning soon. Cleanliness and safety Covid precautions were very good.

  What a lovely breakfast with friends.
The staff were friendly and very helpful.
My food was cooked beautifully and the sausages were of great quality and sourced locally.
I... read more will definitely be coming back again soon and worth the drive out of town to get to it. The car park is a good size.

  We visited The Crown yesterday for the 1st time for a family meal after a crazy couple of hours celebrating our 5 yr olds birthday, what a great decision we... read more made! Kids are very welcome.
The food is delicious & generous portion sizes. The food is real food, cooked in their kitchens NOT the ready sliced meat preserved in gravy from the wholesaler, frozen roast potatoes & veg topped with some bisto that some pubs serve under the guise of a roast dinner.
The atmosphere was buzzy, happy & relaxed whilst still be being able to easily have your own conversation.
We will be back without a doubt. Probably the best roast within a good few miles.
Give it try, it’s very much worth the effort for an extra few minutes in the car.

  Been back for a meal and for drinks since lockdown and they have really made an effort with changing the menu around, new chef and making areas to eat safely... read more distanced. We were really impressed and enjoyed the food so much!
We were being well looked after and the waitresses come round often to make sure you are ok and to take extra orders, so you are not left waiting long!
Amazing outdoor seating, really great attention to detail, worth a visit.
