The Crown

Food is good and what makes a real difference is the friendliness of the staff. They really try their best to provide great customer service. We have been here several times, often with young children, and have never been disappointed!

Brilliant food in here! Had a roast here and the meat is amazing and so tender. A little expensive but worth every penny.

Having arranged to meet up with some good friends ‘darn sarth’ it was left to one of the Twickenham locals in the group to book us all a table there.
Our reservation was for 3pm and a few of us got there early so we grabbed a drink at the bar whilst they prepped our table (they do a couple of sound local ales so some of us went for those).
The bar was busy, but not cramped, though very family-​friendly, so if you’re intent on a quiet pint with no kids acting up, this is probably not the place to go for Sunday lunch!
When we’d all arrived we were taken through to the annex where we had a huge long table with plenty of room. The room was gorgeous, with chandeliers and a huge open fire crackling away.
The menu was pretty substantial and we all ordered something different, deciding on a two course (main and dessert) option, but you could stretch to three if your budget and stomach capacity allows. The food was very good indeed (see photos).
Service was efficient and friendly, they really do have excellent staff there. We stayed for nearly four hours which is testament to how much we liked it in there.
Tip: The Crown has a car park but it’s small and awkward, so it’d be best to either get there early to secure a spot or try and circle round the residential side streets for a space. otherwise

Okay so today I was at home sitting around with a hangover and feeling really, REALLY bored. After ringing round roughly everyone I know, and getting knocked down by each of them, I decided enough was enough and I’d go to the pub.
I am now in the pub, using their free Wi-​Fi, after having what can only be described as a wicked-​awesome burger. It really was, it was bloody beautiful. A masterpiece of culinary engineering you might say.
I am so stuffed right now that I feel sick at the thought of more food, yet I think I could probably attempt another go at one of those bad boy burgers. In fact, I’m salivating.
I guess I had better start to describe it then. For a start, it was definitely home made, and it had that scruffy look about it that said «Hey there, I’m not your ordinary perfectly shaped burger, I’m full of flavour and the chef probably said pucker whilst making me».
As standard, when a burger arrives before your eyes, you lift the bun lid and inspect what’s going on. I did just that and immediately noticed that there was no cheese! I asked for cheese god damn it and they’d gone and bloody forgotten it… or so I thought.
In fact, the cheese WAS there, they’d hidden it INSIDE the burger! As I sat there, bun in hand, I thought to myself «this is revolutionary, the cheese is INSIDE the burger». Needless to say, I devoured it along with the mediocre side of wedges.
As you might expect, I’d recommend the burger. The rest of the place is good too though, the bar area is light and airy with a high ceiling and there’s a nice looking family friendly beer garden too. The only things that stopped this place getting full marks was the oily soggy wedges (would have preferred proper chips) and the slow Wi-​Fi. Even the dirty stinking slut-​bag chav, recommending that I go on YouPorn, didn’t sway this review (although ‘she’ did put me off my food. Slightly).

A traditional pub, a stones throw from Marble Hill Park. This is perfect for a quiet pint during the week (£3.20 for a Guinness). At weekends it can get quite busy and on rugby weekends it’s crazy. The only drawback is the food, overpriced for what you are getting and average at best.
