the crown at northill

We were part of a large party celebrating a wedding the previous day. We had a meal from a set menu and were not disappointed. Excellent food, I had the cream of tomato soup, chicken with wild mushroom sauce and then sticky toffee pudding which was to die for!!! Lovely setting and staff and service was great. 5 out of 5!

We had a very good meal on Valentines evening. The restaurant was very busy but staff still gave excellent service. The food was lovely, especially the beef wellingtonThank you Adrian, Victoria and staff we will definitely return soon.

We popped in for lunch while passing through the village to visit a local attraction and was very disappointed. Looks very nice from outside and that's why we stopped. Nicely decorated in the bar area but absolutely no atmosphere in the main restaurant, quite boring really. Staff were running around like headless chickens and it was only half full. Also they should be very careful as someone behind us complained about there meal and when the waitress went to the kitchen you could here everything she was telling the chef. We only had a couple of sandwiches and drinks we were not impressed and very expensive for what it was. Yes they apologised as my husband couldn't eat his but they still charged the full price.

The pub has changed over the past few years and is now more of a restaurant rather than a pub. The owners have tried to move it up market, but I don't think that they have quite made it when you compare it to similar restaurants in the area.Nice atmosphere and good food at a reasonable price. Would I go back.........yes probaly I would.

We came here on a sleepy Tuesday evening to find it remarkably busy (in a good way).The location is great and we were there on a recommendation I am pleased to say was well founded.Parking is fine and the team there are friendly and polite. The decor is very pleasant and the atmosphere jovial.The food was very tasty with a nice range in the menu. The prices were not cheap but not terribly expensive either. The presentation of the food was of a high standard.My only niggle was that service wasn't as attentive as I would like but certainly this is not a complaint. Will come here again and would recommend.

My family and I have visited on many occasions and are always drawn back as it is local and always serves great consistent food.Staff are always very welcoming to us and children and provide a great outdoor play area for them to occupy them when the weather permits. There is also some great ales and beers on offer.Plenty of parking, great location.All round winner, but book in advance!!

Great country pub. Food, service, location all spot on. Been here a few times and will carry on doing so.

I'm lying down stuffed of delicious food, I ate so much you have no idea my family all loved their meal! I would really recommend this place, there is also a play area for kids and it is in a beautiful area filled with thatch roofed cottages and countryside!

We booked here for a family reunion- the staff were professional and helpful , the surroundings cater well for families with young children. The food was nicely presented and enjoyable-although we did find the wine a little overpriced. We will be returning here in the future.

It's one of those hidden gems that becomes popular purely by word of mouth. One does not want to give it an outstanding review, as then all and sundry will turn up the the charm of this gastro pub will be gone for all time. The food is good value for money especially in these days of tight budgets and no salary increases. Northill is a charming back water that really only comes alive at 6 am on 1 May when revellers dance madly around the Maypole in all weathers. One mile up the Bedford road, adjacent to the village pond you'll discover The Crown, set back in its own large car park. Mind you head when you enter ( for tall) people like my self. Its a traditional Public House, as they should be. Warm, friendly, staff and atmosphere await your visit. Varied menu. Please don't go and spoil the charm of this beautiful country gems. Keep away if your a fast foods fanatic and a smoker.

We went early on a Saturday night having cycled past a few times.Wow!!Beautiful pub, with a gorgeous garden spreading off into the distance. There were a few deer milling around when we arrived.Inside is just as nice if you like your cost traditional pubs.Food was served quickly, and was simply stunning. Wonderfully seasoned, and presented. The lamb burger was a particular highlight!We're lucky to have this place so close!

Came here with my partner and parents and had an enjoyable evening. Staff were friendly and there was diners outside as well as inside, fairly booked up by the looks of it. Menu was varied, mum and dad had scampi which came as a large dinner and they both enjoyed it. The fish pie was had by my partner, whose only comment was he would have like to have tasted different fish in the pie and not just the salmon. I went for the warm chicken salad which was was lovely. The three of them had puddings which they enjoyed. The only downside is the wait for the dinner and puddings to be served, this was on the slow side.

Simply fantastic food, great choice on the menu, lovely staff and beautiful surroundings. Also has a great garden and play area, ticks all the boxes

The good: the pub is a nice country pub in a tiny village in a country setting. There's a good selection of beers and they are well kept.However: the place is somewhat let down by the quality of the food. My steak, ordered medium rare, was delivered overcooked, and the accompanying pepper sauce was watery and not particularly peppery. My wife's meal, a special of grilled chicken with pappardelle in a cream sauce with mushrooms, had dry overcooked chicken. The sticky toffee pudding she ordered was also dry in the centre and overcooked.The food isn't bad here by any stretch of the imagination, but it's also not brilliant, neither. It's just average.

Yet another superb meal at Victoria n Adrian's pub/ restaurant - over two years regular meals n never a bad one. Family had the beef n I had black pudding n bacon risotto followed by Chorizo stuffed chicken, best chicken I have ever eaten. Great food and lovely, attentive staff. Well done all...
