The Crown — Restaurant in London

Parked up five minutes before opening, coming in for a pint, while my father finished up a phone call.

The owner came out and stated we needed to purchase a drink to park there. It was empty and there were two remaining parking completely free but I went in and ordered a Diet Coke while my father finished his call before he would come in for his own drink. I was told when making the Diet Coke purchase that if I left the premises he would clamp our car.

Within 25 minutes the owner was trying to bully me out of the empty pub, rushing me to finish my drink and very rudely telling me to get out and leave.

I informed him I’m a paying customer, he clearly doesn’t need the parking space in this moment, why is he hassling me? He said the other two were “booked up” and he needed ours. Ridiculous.

I do not assume the owner will make any changes as he is often seen among the locals laughing and allowing the incidents to continue. I just wish to inform others before you're disappointed.

This pub is purely for the local lager louts and any other locals are...

Stayed overnight in a hotel nearby. We went to the Crown pub with my family and 2 friends (group of 8)for a dinner. Ordered a variety of meals, including fish and chips. We were also given fried prawn crackers prior to our starters. The crackers smelled of bad oil and tasted even worse. The service was super slow and the meals were being served in different times with huge gaps in between. My mother in law tried cancelling her meal due to a super long wait but was told that the food is on its way shortly. The waitress there apologised several times for the delay. In the night my daughter vomited several times after fish and chips and I experienced severe diarrhoea. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend eating in this place. Not a...
