The Crown, Elton

This is an attractive pub where the owners have spent a lot of money on the interior, however on a visit just before Christmas the service was very slow, although polite from the bar staff.
The toilets were clean, but the seat was broken badly and there was no paper in the ladies.
My partner and I had a snack lunch which appeared to throw the staff into disarray as they proclaimed they were busy, although there were only a few diners.
The food was poor, no bread, no side order of salad despite ordering it. When we dared to comment on the quality of the fish cakes a raw one was brought from the kitchen to prove the content as "flakes of fish" as stated on the menu! We were amazed and on uttering that I felt I could have bought better in Tescos this was obviously the final straw!
We paid the bill and on leaving the owner came out to advise us that were not ever welcome in the pub again.
With so many good ones in the area to chose from this is no ordeal!
We paid the bill
