The Three Crowns — Restaurant in England

Update: May 2023 I took my walking group for Sunday lunch for 16. Absolutely spot on. 16 clean plates! Plus desserts that were delicious (more want than need!! ). The food is really good, and the staff are very welcoming too. I totally recommend. If in any doubt , say that Graeme sent you. You won't regret it.

Update: I took another group of 8 for Sunday lunch (10/7/22) after a lovely long walk in the sunshine. The staff at The Three Crowns are just lovely - so welcoming and engaging, but also professional and efficient. Cold drinks appeared quickly, including for the dogs, and food appeared in quick time soon after.

The food here is exceptionally good. My guests were all raving about it, which pleases me of course. All pubs and restaurants had a hard time through Covid. It seems to me that this gastro pub has come back stronger, and I credit them.

Previous review from Feb 2022: I eat here quite regularly because it has some of the best staff and the best food in the area (and there are many decent gastro pubs in South Bucks, so I do not say this lightly). Today, I took my walking group of 13 for Sunday lunch. The menu is surprisingly long and varied, with so many nice options that its quite hard to choose. My group had a wide variety of dishes and every single plate was wiped clean! Plus the desserts are generous and yummy. Its a family-run place and they are really friendly and welcoming. Thanks to Laura, Charles, Lucy and the staff Elaine and Gareth. And of course the chef and kitchen staff, excellent job. This is a place I can always take guests to, because they are...

TLDR: Best roast dinner I've ever had and friendly staff. Above and beyond in accommodation.

My grandparents and I are visiting from British Columbia, Canada, on a mission to retrace the steps of our ancestors. Of course, it was essential that we have a Sunday roast. What we didn't realize, however, was how far in advance we would need to reserve! We tried several places that were all full. The Three Crowns was recommended to us by the chef at George and Dragon, who went above and beyond to help us.

When I first called, I received the usual response. "I'm terribly sorry, but it doesn't appear we have room." However, as we were speaking, a table was beginning to clear. She told me that if we hurried, they should be able to squeeze us in. We rushed over, and sure enough, luck was with us. We got a table. Boy, am I glad we did! The food was spectacular. The three of us had a beef roast. Rich in flavor and cooked to perfection, it was better than I had imagined. The pride they take in their establishment was clear in both their service and food. Couldn't recommend...

Went to the 3 Crowns on recommendation today for a pub lunch. Could not have been more disappointed. There were only 4 other people seated in the bar area when we arrived. We had booked, so we were shown to our table. The barman then took our drinks order, I ordered a pint of Guinness, when the drinks arrived the glass of Guinness was not filled to the top(obviously out of a can) but I decided not to complain. Then we were left a considerable length of time without our food order being taken, so much so, I had to go to the bar and ask for our order to be taken. After it had been taken a couple and a young child came in they proceeded to order food and drinks. Shortly afterwards their food arrived, no sign of our food at this point. When they were about halfway through their meal, I had to get up again and go to the bar and ask as to when our food might arrive. It was then delivered shortly after that. The food itself was average but adequate for pub grub. Overall view: Staff uninterested blaming the kitchen, would...
