This was our first visit to this restaurant. The service was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The plates were hot, the chips were perfect and the food retained their heat. Yummy.There are several menu options and a specials board.The atmosphere is relaxing and the facilities are good. There's parking and an outside garden area.We did not see the rooms so are unable to make any comments.

Absolutely fantastic evening. Special event for a 50th wedding anniversary and a couple of special '0' birthdays. 22 people in the group. Good pub grub done well and plenty of it. The staff really could not do enough for us. We all stayed over night, and the breakfast was also very good. Would recommend using this venue.

It is a very quiet pub on a Saturday afternoon but still nice enough. Lacking a little in atmosphere but the rain probably didn’t help either.There’s lots of places to sit, a sofa area at the back, outdoor seating, and a dining area.There’s table service from the lovely bar staff.

Had the best experience here. The food was amazing, and we went on a night they were holding an event. The staff were super friendly and the landlady Emma went above and beyond. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in the area!!

Not a regular visitor anymore. First time back since new owners. Was hoping for a Roast Dinner like the old landlord used to do. The texture and taste of everything on our plates made it seem like the whole thing came right out of a frozen bag from Iceland.Such a shame. Won't be going back.

Clean and tidy room, very clean bathroom and also very quiet. I didn't have breakfast so I can't comment on that. And the pub itself has a great history.

Excellent, affordable menu and specials board to suit all appetites and served in a pleasant restaurant... The usual range of beers and wine to enjoy in the characterful bar and adjacent saloon with big squishy chairs. Recommended

Convenient to Margate and other coastal places. Easy to find at a junction but still quiet. Rooms were clean, attractive and pleasant. The cooked breakfast was fine and the service very friendly.

Just had a combined celebration at The Crown Inn. It was our 50th wedding Anniversary, 70th birthday and 80th Birthday last night. There were 22 of us, and we all stayed overnight and had breakfast in the morning. The staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble, especially Kirsty. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank-you so much for making our time special. I also want to say the steak and ale pie was just the bestThe rooms were comfortable, spacious and good value for money.
