Excellent service and good. We had smoked duck, sausage, and Scottish egg. Incredible.

Three crowns out of a possible 10 Cider was warm. Gravy residue on table. Slow service. Slower food. Average food. Can't imagine if it was actually busy. Won't be back. read more

You know when you're dating someone who just doesn't do it for you... and your friends ask you what s/he's like... and the best you can come up with 'Oh, s/he has a good personality...' or 'S/he's really nice...' That's not too far off from how one might describe Three Crowns. Oh, the vibe is pleasant. Oh, the staff is sweet. Oh, the space is nicely sized. There's nothing -bad- about Three Crowns. It just doesn't tick all the boxes. While their Sunday roast is reasonably priced and absolutely satisfying, it did take an eternity to come out. I didn't particularly feel that the place was massively busy, given it was around 1430 when we arrived. Perhaps the kitchen was short-handed? Similarly, I appreciate that a proper pint of Guinness takes quite some time to pour, but I also had to follow up on it when I noticed it'd been sitting for five or ten minutes after it had settled. I wonder if I would have ever gotten my beer if I hadn't inquired. I'd be absolutely willing to try Three Crowns again. Perhaps it was an off day for the employees. It has the makings of a great destination for a proper roast, if only they'd sort the details... read more

Three Crowns is a particularly average pub. For one reason or another it is always pretty busy but personally I find it all a bit uninspired. I came here once during the day and struggled to find a seat that wasn't plunged into darkness, the lighting is terrible and doesn't make the place feel very inviting. Price wise everything seems a bit steep. Stoke Newington might be a young and trendy place but it's hardly central so I don't understand how they can justify the £5 a glass wine. Food is equally pricey and the menu is a bit 'gastro'. Although it's nice to have a bit of variation, this is still a pub and there's no way I'm paying £16 for a main course. Reading this back I realise I sound a bit bitter and skint but I had high expectations for this place when I first moved here and they've yet to be fulfilled. The Three Crowns is not a place I'd choose to eat or drink, frankly there are far better options nearby. read more

The three crowns has such a huge space on the corner of Church Street and the High Street, its great to stop at or meet with a bunch of friends. It has everything I love about a pub - large sofas, tables and great drinks and nibbles. The only downside is that its a bit pricey, owing to its great location. I could come here every other day, had it been possible. However its still good for a treat on the weekends. Its a cool mix between traditional and trendy, and has a hugely varied crowd inside. The corner location makes it a great people watching spot, and the black exterior makes the building look pretty inconspicuous, and somber on a closer inspection. Its a nice place to have a pint. read more

This huge gastro pub is in my opinion better for drinking than it is for food. I only ate here once, but it was an overpriced and rather sparse roast dinner. I don't mind shelling out for good food but the very nature of a Sunday roast is to be hearty and filling, this was gourmet style, as if prepared by a French chef who didn't quite get it. Drinking here however is quite a different experience. It's romantically lit and plushly furnished with big sofas arranged around huge tables and dark wood floors. Being a nice, big pub in a location like this one means that it's usually quite busy and atmospheric. The last time I went in they were playing a strange selection of Beatles covers but they do have a turntable and a late licence at the weekend so I assume the music isn't always this ropey. People that drink here tend to be pretty friendly and it's always nice to pop in for a drink although I do try to eat first incase I'm tempted to order the expensive food. read more

The Three Crowns is not really my kind of place. I find it a bit trendy, but not in an interesting way. The leather couches, the table set up and the general vibe is all a bit bland. I can see why people like these places, but I would prefer something dingy with a bit more character any day. Located on the corner of Stoke Newington High St. and Stoke Newington Church St., It just doesn't seem to fit in with the vibe of either strip. I have heard that the food is good but it looks quite expensive. The beer is good and everything is served to a high standard, but I would prefer to take a stroll down Church St and find a nice quiet little bar with character . read more

It's a really big place separated in two. On the left, you have the pub and on the right you have the restaurant. Between them, there is the pub's counter which is also impressive. I like the sofas and the different lights which give a 50's atmopshere as there is a dim light.I feel like i'm home in those sofas. I appreciate the restaurant where the food is amazing! You can take only starters but the menu is about £20 with three courses. It's definitely delicious and it's not expensive for the place as it's really nice for lovers or friends who want to have a meal and then take a place on a sofa with a glass of wine. read more

This is pretty much the first pub I walked past in Stokie when I first came to have a nosy round the area one late afternoon before I moved here four years ago. Nice looking pub, I thought, this is probably a place that I would be happy to live in the near vicinity of. From both inside and out it looks like the type of place that you would want to hang out in....big leather sofas, massive mirrors, lots of vintage wooden miss-matching furniture, attractive staff.... The range of drinks is pretty extensive, nothing wild, but they have all the staples you expect from a decent bar or pub, but they don't come cheap. Two bottles of cider for just under 9squid, a cocktail (will recommend the hazelnut mojito/caipirinia, sounds weird but tastes ace) for at least 7squid. Big dollars are needed, but you are paying to sit in a nice place, so its not a terrible shock. Three Crowns seems to have been voted Stoke Newingtons number 1 date night location for local beautiful couples on a Monday night, so yes, you do get a great sofa to lounge on as its not heaving, but you aren't gonna meet the man / woman of your dreams, as they are all making eyes at eachother, leaning in a little closer to hear funny stories from the office and simaltaniously draping an arm round the back of the sofa, in the ever subtle date night snide move to subtly put your arm around your date without getting the instant shrug off or getting accused of going in for an over the shoulder boob grope....classic move that never goes all that well! Remember that guys. Weekends are much busier, so not so many sofas going spare, but more hotties to eye up. And they just opened up an underground club, The Drop, so bonus points for that too. read more

"NICE" as a rude boy would say! A fab Stokie boozer with Sunday Roasts and lovely cocktails. Don't expect it cheap mind you, there's a spoonies down the road if you want that! I've been here a few times, for drinks, for dinner, for a date, for coffee, to use their loos... I like it I really do. It has a certain charm with it's huge tables and comfy chairs. They have a top notch menu but it doesn't come cheap, over a tenner for most mains. You can either sit in the foodie area or in the bar bit which I quite like. They also have dreamy staff. I do enjoy a good flirt when I'm at the bar and these guys oblige me nicely! Yes the Three Crowns is a winner, it's also a star spotting celeb hot spot with Peaches Geldof chowing down on a roast here! read more

My first proper English Sunday Roast, and it was really really amazing. I didn't know a place in London was so so good, but I did have to pay the price. There goes money for the week... I had the Beef with yorkshire pudding and it was delicious! and the plates are def American portions, and in a way, I missed that. Eating till I burst haha. If I had the money, I would come here every Sunday. Next time, will try the pork. Oh, and you have to book in advance to have a table seat, but eating on the couches weren't half bad. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

After a long walk with the dog I dragged my friends into Stokey for a Roast Dinner and gossip. After a bit of complaining by one of my companions I pulled them into the Three Crowns and we got lucky, a table was coming free! Knowing how rare an occurrence this is we sat down and had the dog guard our spot. My friends went to the bar to order and as they came back from the bar with our drinks the food arrived at the table. I have never been served so fast in a pub before, especially given how busy the pub was! We had all opted for the beef out of the three options (Beef, Pork or Veggie) and it was tender and cooked to perfection, the dog was rather upset that we didn't want to share that much with her! We were lucky getting a table so I really recommend that you book in advance, children and animals are welcome, which didn't used to be the case. I was surprised at the lack of recent reviews on yelp for the Three Crowns, given that it was full of hipsters/trendies in the windows with the yummy-mummies pushed to the back and the sofas. This was an entirely organic segregation however, as I have booked a table before with kids in the group and they put us in the window that time. read more

Came here after rock climbing with a group. Climbing and then Sunday roast was the plan. We had to walk a ways from the climbing centre so by the time we were there we were ready to chew our hands off. They had the usual selection of meats, lamb or chicken or beef. I got the beef. twas tasty. Is it sad that I remember the taste of the gravy more than the meat itself? I really liked it. We had to wait a bit longer than usual for our meals I guess because they brought us extra veggies to share for the inconvenience. The drinks were pricey and at one point they actually ran out of a type of alcohol my friend was drinking. and so I had to quickly choose a substitute. Just kind of annoying. It gets crowded there on Sundays so either come early or try to call way ahead and reserve a table...I think they reserve? Nice place, big but awkwardly placed seating so there's not much room really. At least for lots of Sunday roast groups. read more

Lovely pub with big windows overlooking the high street. I had a delicious baked brown crab served with gremolata which was served with perfectly cooked chips and salad. I only wished they had cleaned the crab (i.e. removed the gills etc) and cracked it at least a bit but it was otherwise a tasty, messy treat! read more

I came here before, many moons ago. During the day so I did not realize quite how dark they like to keep it in the evenings. Had a job seeing my friends! This time they had one real ale on. There were a couple of other pumps, but they were out of service unfortunately. This is a big modern bar and not to my tastes at all I am afraid. read more

The dark and moody interior of the Three Crowns is generally crowded around the weekend and frequently during the week. But its spaced-out layout gives it and its inhabitants a laid-back feel. This is one of the few bar venues I've been to in London that seems conducive to casually meeting and chatting with strangers. It does help, of course, that the clientele are all chilled out Stokie-ites. And, on a weekend afternoon, the vats of delicious pre-mixed Bloody Marys and traditional roasts certainly do their bit for a relaxed atmosphere. As with other eateries in the district, prices are generally high but quality is excellent. read more

Arrived here early doors on Sunday with three mates who hadn't been before. I'd been singing the Three Crowns Sunday Roast praises so much I was suddenly a little worried their expectations wouldn't be met. However, I needn't have worried; 2 perfectly cooked roast beefs, 1 delectable lamb and one mediocre nut roast (I thought it was mediocre, not my friend who actually ordered it) later we were four happy (and full!) campers. The portion sizes are formidable and you can't beat their sides of carrot & swede mash and braised red cabbages (not to mention the mandatory bouncy-castle-sized Yorkshire pud, roast potatoes, gravy and homemade mouthwatering horseraddish). The only downer was the imposed time restrictions that you get by taking an early sitting. If you take a later sitting, you can lounge for as long as you like. We normally grab the Sunday papers, Rummikub and make a whole afternoon of it (keeping the americanos/bloody marys/wines and puddings flowing of course...). At around £14 a head for the main, it's not the cheapest place for a Sunday roast, but it is one of the best I'd say, so fair price to pay. Just a couple of niggles... why the music so loud on a Sunday lunch that I can't hear my friends (thank you for humoring us though when we asked you to turn it down) and put a few more lights on in the dark, winter evening - we can't see the Rummikub faces! read more

Extremely popular, very close to me but I almost never go here. They got this place right when the designed it. It really is like a better version of a Slug and Lettuce or any gastro pub really, particularly one you might find in much posher neighbourhoods like Islington. It's got a huge indoor space divided between a large restaurant area and loungy pub section. I haven't been into the restaurant bit. Mostly because I've seen the menu and I simply have no interest in paying ten pounds or more for sausages and mashed potatoes no matter what fancy words they give to their products. The pub section gets really full later on in the evening and it's spread out nicely amongst broad lounge sweets and tables and chairs. If my parents were visiting or I was on a date (Both very remote possibilities) then this would definitely be the pub for me. read more

Just had lunch for two, two incredible burgers with spicy beetroot relish. Took a advantage of the summer offer, 'buy one gone and tonic get the 2nd for £1'! Would definitely come here again! read more

I've been here a few times for drinks, food and an event. The event room downstairs has it's own toilets and bar which is good, though it is quite a small room. Came here for drinks and ended up having food, they have a beer/house wine & pie offer on Mondays for £10. The pies are delicious! They have different ones each time I've been from gammon and turkey to pork and cider, both were amazing!! Overall it's a nice place to go and have a drink, it has quite a homey feeling with lots of sofas to accommodate small or large groups, and it also a seated area if you prefer to eat at a higher table. read more

On a Tuesday night you'll be fit to burst after a sharer's whole jerk chicken, accompanied by what might have been the best coleslaw I've had. I understand that you can often find live music on some nights too. Overall a great evening destination or even a night out. read more

Could be great... it's a nice space and they have a decent wine list. Food's overpriced, but then that's not a massive surprise. The thing that makes this a no-go zone at weekends is that it's one giant playground. Enough of all this 'if you don't like kids, why live in Stoke Newington?' business. As far as I know there's just one pub that doesn't allow kids in, while everywhere else seems fare game for a game of Twister with the under 5s. Some of us lived here before it turned into Nappy Valley you know! A child-free cafe or two, and another couple of adults-only pubs in N16 would do a roaring trade. That said, when I had friends visit with two noisy kids recently, I knew exactly where we could go for lunch... Straight to the Three Crowns. We were a perfect fit with the other parents who wanted to spend all afternoon in the boozer while ignoring their awful, screaming, rampaging brood... And I didn't feel self conscious about the noise we were making. I looked over at a couple of child-free chaps trying to enjoy a quiet pint by the window and wondered what on earth they were doing here... read more

You'll find all the things wrong with modern pubs in this one handy venue. In the pub bit, at first the music seems deafening but then you realise that you can just make out the braying of the wannabe hoxtonite knob-cheeses that you're surrounded by. In the food bit, you hope that the lah-di-dah descriptions and high prices will be worth it. You'd be wrong. But even with all of that, it's the poor service that you'll really remember. read more

What a shame, gone down hill or what? Food is much cheaper but at what expense. Chicken and chips with coleslaw better at Nando's and Burger better at MacDonald's, neither had any seasoning. Best bit was the Banoffee pie which was clearly bought in. Come on new owners sort it out. read more

I love this pub. Sunday roasts are excellent (try the nut roast), as are Friday nights when you want to go out to a slightly nicer pub. One side of the place is mainly a restaurant while the other is decidely pub. You do get the lunching mums during the days with their strollers, but come evening, it's defintely a regular pub. I've never been disappointed by The Three Crowns yet. read more

This is the first pub you hit if you're entering Church Street from Stoke Newington High Street, and that prime location ensures that this pub is always rammed. They have lots of big big tables (that seat up 10+ people), which means that Three Crowns is particularly suitable for large groups of friends. I often walk past here on a Sunday and look through the window at people noshing down (not that i have no friends to eat with or anything!) and they seem to be smiling! The reason I'm not eating in there is because it is very expensive to eat in here. I've been for one mid week dinner here and it was £20+; very expensive for a pub. This is a nice surrounding for a quick drink or two, and the perfect starting point for a Church Street crawl. read more

I love this pub! Absolutely lovely feel and delicious food! Sometimes difficult to get a table but there's always a relaxed feel. Perfect for a lazy Sunday drink or a belly busting roast! read more

Sunday roast here is nothing less than delicious. The portions are massive so come hungry- oh and save room for dessert- however these are also massive. read more

Lamb roast was monumental. Big portions. Make sure you ask for the mustard it will blow your brains out.

Ok so the first place i come to review and its not in the Qype almanac! There may be a simple reason for this- such as it is a reasonably new establishment, but judging from the fairly drifty other places elaborated on Im surprised this has been overlooked. Anywho- This bar/pub/ gastro place is something of a small revolution in Stoke Newington, marking the turn of the general demographics in the local area from bohrmian chique, to a more mainstream, if trendy middle classish establishment. Dont get me wrong, this isnt a bad thing, in fact the atmosphere, bar tenders (apparently time-on their hands actors) and beers (including a range of fine ales) make this a great evening out, and at weekends is particularly busy. The three crowns is also careful not to go over the top, its not too self appreciating or full of its own bull, which marks it apart from other similar bars in shoreditch or old street. Im babbling. This place is good. Go there when youre in Stokey. read more

The Three Crowns is a big pub, which makes its cosiness more surprising. The lights are usually quite low and the sofas and big tables are nice and comfy. The food is also excellent, though it'll set you back a pretty penny. read more

Really delicious Sunday lunch here. You can book a table but I've not personally had trouble just turning up (admittedly we do tend to eat lunch early). Yes, they are guilty of serving food on slabs of wood instead of plates--but the food is good. I just wish they would open in the daytime during the week, even one or two days. read more

We have ben to this pub for sunday lunch a few times and have loved it. Not any more!!! Went to Three Crowns for my 70th birthday lunch yesterday. Food was awful. No longer do you get vegetables with your lunch as before - just red cabbage, and if you don't like that - hard luck. When we asked why there were no veg with Sunday lunch we were offered just one vegetable on the menu, which we had to pay for. The roast potatoes were rock hard, impossible to eat them. We did complain but was just told by our waitress that she would tell the chef. All around us lunches were going back because of the potaoes. The atmosphere was domintated by loud music which was so scratchy - you could not make out a word - very very annoying. Also we were asked if there were any children in our party. We said there were not - but they put us slap in the middle of the family section!!!! Why? Also our waitress absolutely haunted us - although very nice she came to the table constantly, you only had to put a knife down for a second - when over she buzzed trying to remove items we had clearly not finished with. Soo annoying and unprofessional. We could not wait to get out and we will never return. Lunch is nearly £14 - so not cheap - but they clearly do not care. Should have been warned when I tried to book table the day before we wanted to lunch we rang three times - phone was picked up - and when you tried to book a table they slammed the phone down. What a way to do business!! read more

Nice Deco, friendly staff, average food, average prices... Internet WIFI? No, never works, and if it works, is as slow as the service... Get drunk and have fun!! read more

The three crowns use to serve steak that was soon good but since they changed meat suppliers the food is really bad. Told waitress and could see when she told the chef that he didn't care! Won't eat there again and I've been eating their for years. Staff are also hit and miss and don't seem to really care and muck around a lot. read more

Went to the Three Crowns on bank holiday Monday when they had the Cornish Ale & Lobster festival on. Lobster and chips for £15 and steak and chips for £10 was a brilliant deal. Very tasty, only problem was that no tools came to eat the lobster so it took a bit of digging, and no finger bowl. Nice friendly atmosphere. read more
