please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Visited for lunch whilst walking in the area. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and I was glad to see 3 ales on, a couple of which were local. The food was fairly standard pub fare at fairly standard prices. A perfectly good option if you're in the area, but in my opinion not worth making a special journey for.

I have read a couple of reviews about the Crown Inn Cootham, in particular by some twit called hengis me. Well I have been a regular of the Crown for more than 20 years. I have shared his comments with quite a few of the regulars. We would like to offer hengis me the price of a pint to go and drink somewhere else. We think that Martin and Laura are great and so is the food and friendly attitude of the staff. My wife and I eat there once or twice a week and we love it. There should be a law against malicious minded individuals like hengis me spreading rubbish about good places to eat. Look at the car park its always full.

I just wanted to mention another point ,if you are thinking about visiting this pub you need to check the price they charge for drinks before you order they are the most expensive we have found even more expensive than my golfclub be warned .

Yes have tried this pub on three occasions mainly because they allow dogs in, unlike previous reviews i have found the service to be good.Its a bit dated and tired inside its the sort of pub for a cheap snack not a a la carte meal, the first time we went the food was ok, the second it was just ok barely hot and very bland.We went again today and the food was terrible,infact mine was not edible and i sent it back twice and then told them not to bother and remove from the bill. Thankfully there is a tesco express nearby will not eat there again

I have visited on a few occasions. The food was always mediocre but today I had a roast and bloody hell, it was poor. Tiny roast pots that were mush in the middle and black on the outside (some potatoes were not grown for roasting), Yorkshire pudding that was without a doubt straight from aunt Bessie for a bargain �8!!!!! Service was poor with a stressed barman who whilst struggling with the coffee machine said in a not to muffled voice "oh FFS". Will not be visiting with the family any time soon, although they will miss the garden. Oh, any the Ploughman's the wife had would not feed a ploughman, more perhaps a ploughman's 3yr old child. I do not give negative feedback as a rule, but I am sooooooo not impressed.

since the croowm inn in cootham has change handes it is a lot better the food is much nicer martin and laura have worked hard to get much better more people are going in there now the staff are much better now and there is welcome when you go in there

This pub has changed hands approx.mid August, and whilst the interior has remained the same - good old fashioned spacious pub + restaurant extension, the food has changed dramatically for the better!
From chefs who came and went, with high ideas and a too ambitious menu,. it's now got a Landlord and Landlady who care, and who prepare and cook the food in house. Fresh vegetables, lovely cottage pie were all very tasty, and served with a smile.
I'll go back again soon, and I thoruoghly recommend the Crown.

Popped in after our cricket match at nearby Parham House last week. I have visited before and I think there have been a few changes recently and for the better too.
Although it's not over inviting from the outside, the pub is quite pleasing on the inside. It caters for the foodies in a restaurant area, which is separated from a drinking area by some steps. This area retains a pubby feel and it extends into another area where you can watch sport on a nice sized TV.
My dog was welcome, which is always good for a country pub, and the beer was excellent. The girl behind the bar was great. I didn't eat, but judging by the previous comments, it is worth a visit for that too.
I like it when pubs cater for all tastes, and this one certainly does that. If you are visiting Parham House or Park for any of the days out that go on there, you would do well to pop in here for a pint and a bite to eat.

Excellent athmosphere, a wide menu to choose from, and well served. Landlord is friendly, and the two pog fires are very inviting in the winter. Quizes on a Sunday.

We visited this pub on August 07 Bank Holiday Saturday for lunch. It was splendid. The ham, eggs and chips were delicious. The puddings were to die for! I decided on bread and butter pudding for dessert and it was the best I have tasted in years. We shall certainly return.

A typical country pub with a lovely atmosphere and a warm welcome. Lovely open fire in the winter months and great food.
