Crown Inn, Catton

Really good beer but the worst service I have ever had in a pub for meals. I went there with my wife, son and daughter in law in the May bank holiday and waited 1 1/4 hours (yes you read that right) for a sandwhich.

Worse still, the wifes sandwich which was supposed to be roast beef with gravy, in a baguette turned out to be a bit of dry lamb (ran out of beef) between two equally dry slices of multigrain bread (ran out of baguettes, ran out of gravy), so dry in fact that it fell to pieces when she tried to pick it up...and amazingly they charged �6.50 for this sandwich.

Overall I would say this pub is OK if you just want a drink, but I will never, ever go there for a meal again.
