The Crown - City of London,Westminster

Nice pub. Went in for one and spent our whole evening there until it closed. Great and friendly staff and wonderful choice of drinks

As a large group, we reserved a table at The Crown 5 weeks in advance. Not only did The Crown cancel our booking at the last minute, but when met with our confusion as to why we no longer had a booking an email had been sent at 1pm that day cancelling a 6pm booking, but we hadn 't seen it they were dismissive, rude, and aggressive. After initially implying we were making our booking up !? , once we showed our confirmation they couldn 't have cared less and proceeded to get very aggressive with a male member of our party. The 'manager ' at one point declared I get paid x pounds fifty an hour, I simply don 't care . He couldn 't even muster the most basic or terse of apologies. A female member of our party separately asked staff if they would be playing the football on the TVs, and they snapped back equally aggressively not for you we 're f**king not . All it would have taken was a gentle I 'm really sorry, we took the decision to cancel this evening 's bookings so we no longer have a table for you, and I appreciate that 's really frustrating but there 's nothing I can do, we can serve you drinks and maybe some sharing food at the bar here... etc., etc., and of course we would have been annoyed but that stuff happens and we would have accepted it. But the attitude of the staff, the swearing, the shouting, the impatience, the aggression, that is just unacceptable. These people should not be working in a central London pub. Off to anger management classes for you all. We ended up at the Lyric pub where the staff tirelessly served food and drink to a squished and animated football crowd with nothing but smiles and patience take note the Crown.

I loved the decor and architecture of the crown. Typical English pub. I tried the vegetarian pie and the sticky toffell deser and they were delicious. The staff was nice and helpful. Totally recommend!

Ruined my birthday. 21st and they wouldn’t accept my id ridiculous! Every other bar/resturant accepted my Id and they didn’t. Also very very rude to me. Don’t ever go here worst pub ever #worstlondonpub

If I were only here for drinks, my review would be more positive as the service was excellent and there was a wide selection of options available. However, my family and I came here for a meal as well... The menu advertised dishes like 'triple cooked chips' which set a certain standard in our minds. Unfortunately, the food turned out to be clearly frozen and everything tasted like it came from the oven. It's okay if that's your specialty, but make sure the menu descriptions and prices accurately reflect the quality of the food.
