We had fish and chips for six whilst watching Andy Murray in the 2013 Wimbledon final. Being from the coast I'm extremely fussy about fish and chips, and I couldn't fault the fresh fish in crisp batter. The chips and peas were perfect, and whilst salad garnish wouldn't be traditionally served, it was good: tasty, fresh and most welcome. My partner thought his fish was slightly overcooked, but mine definitely was not, and our fellow diners, (a critical bunch), all enjoyed their meals.
I've tried this pub several times, but previously haven't quite managed to be impressed, but the latest landlord is now established and seems to be doing a good job. Stadhampton had been needing a good pub to appease for the crazy bear nonsense, so hopefully the Crown will be the place.
Murray did well. read more
