Crown & Sceptre Inn — Restaurant in Wales

Have been here many times before, always had nice food and friendly helpful staff. Three of us called today plus our Jack Russel. As a dog friendly pub, we were going to sit in the bar area. But it was so sunny we opted to sit out in the large outdoor seating area.

We could see the menu has more options than when we had last visited, and new faces behind bar.

The food was outstanding. Two pie of the day, which were Steak and Ale , quite honestly to date The Best Steak and Ale Pie I've ever had. Stunning. And one Chicken and Lamb Kofta on skewers, with a BBQ marinade. She said the chicken just melted in your mouth. We also had deserts, a very generous portion of Bread and Butter pudding, which was Amazing. And a Cheese cake of the Day, with Biscoff, and ice cream. Really quality, beautiful cheese cake.

Will definitely be returning soon, to work through the many mouth watering options on the menu

To be honest the Sunday lunch was a disappointing, undercooked veg (broccoli, carrots and colli) and the beef was hard and appeared to be pre bought sliced. I probably wouldn't have minded paying if I was blown away by the food. Very overpriced for the quality of food. I'm not...

Although the attitude and treatment of the wait/bar staff by the head chef/owner was appalling, I could not fault our service or food. We were warned as soon as we approached the bar that there was a 45 minute wait until we could order our meals, but this was done in a friendly and apologetic tone. Although very busy, the staff we dealt with (2 young ladies and a young man) were all courteous and helpful. When we were finally able to order and receive our meals, they were generous portions, delicious, and great value for money. I would hate to see this lovely little pub lose custom due to being short-staffed, as will be likely if the owner/head chef continues to rage at and insult the staff for no...
