Myself and 2 of my siblings, all 3 of us travelling a long way from 3 totally differant areas of the UK chose Worcester to meet up on 2nd December. It is the time of year for exchanging gifts etc and we wanted to have a Christmas Lunch together. I did the research on the web and could only find a few places that fitted our bill and we all agree that the crown Inn looked the nicest anbd seemed to have the best Christmas Menu. Although our meal was OK I was very disappointed in the quality of the food. Our starters were OK but then we had to wait 45 minutes for our main courses. The meat was fine but we had a very very small portion of veg to share between 3 of us. Only 4 sprouts, one tablespoon of peas, one tablespoon of dwarf bean, 6 small round pieces of carrot and a few bits of brocc. There was a small bowl of roast potatoes which were just enough. The desserts were OK but nothing at all special, mine had a wonderful sounding christmas chocolate roulade sounding name but it did not live upto its name. I was very disappointed as this cost £18.95 per head and I would not expect to pay much more £12.99 £14.99 locally for that food. We will not be having our next get together there, the photographs also make the place much nicer than it actually is. It is OK but nothing special. read more

The warm atmosphere of the crown inn at hallow was superb with its candle light tables, warming fires and welcoming staff, myself and a group of friends had a splended time at the resturant with its in house made food. the menu had a wide range of food to choose from, which all of us tried and were very pleased with. the staff were very friendly and welcoming greeting us with smiles and kind greetings as we came in, ordered, recieved food and upon leaving. our time spent at the crown in was time well spent and we will be going back again for further meals out. if i could recomend a meal to have it would have been the steak which you cooked your self to perfection on a hot rock, i did not have this but a friend did and i left very jealous. out of 10 i would give this pub/resturant an 8 for its warm welcome and finely priced food. read more

I and my daughter visited yesterday for lunch. They had no lime juice for a drink I ordered, and the blackboard menu for senior citizens had a choice of 3 desserts, but only 2 were available. I paid for the bill with my debit card, which had 7 staples in it, and thought it was a lot for what we had. On arriving home I discovered that I had paid for someone else's meal of £10.50. I called the pub to speak to the manager, but was told she was too busy, but the message would be passed to her, and she would ring me back after 3pm. I have NOT heard from her and it is now 4.30. I have tried to call, but it is an answer machine!! Needless to say, I am not impressed read more

My boyfriend and I ate here last night from the Fixed Price menu. His starter of chicken wings was raw when he got to the middle, my starter of battered mushrooms was cold. The mains were just as bad, he picked a burger which came plain in a bun (he said he's had better food from a burger van!) and my main of beer battered fish was greasy and tasteless, leaving me feeling nauseous. During the night, I was sick I can only presume it was the food. To top it all off, the service was terrible. When we complained, we were given a £2 refund for the chicken wings. We will not be going back or recommending The Crown to friends. read more

After reading the reviews on here I was very apprehensive about visiting. However the reviews are old and do not reflect the true nature of what it is now. The food was fabulous, with a varied selection so that all members of the party had plenty of choice. I chose the Slow Cooked Belly of Pork in local cider jus from the specials board and it was delicious. A lovely pub, with very attentive staff who made sure that our experience was perfect. Prices are reasonable and there is a good selection of wines that wines which the staff have a concise knowledge of. Will definately be returning very soon. read more
