Great pub, well run,great food,

Absolutely first class meal. Good range of options on the menu and specials board. Given the excellence of the food, we felt the prices were reasonable. I had prawns in garlic butter to start followed by braised ox cheeks and both courses were delicious. The cheesecake dessert was a lovely homemade affair. My wife had the cod goujons, lamb curry and chocolate brownie and thought all three as excellent. Parking: Kirkoswald is a small village with two busy pubs, so it can be difficult to find a place to park.

Nice friendly and efficient service from the girl behind the bar and proper old pub atmosphere but wouldn't eat there again as not good value at all, £17 for sausage and mash with barely any veg was overpriced, £50 for 2 basic main meals and 1 childs + 2 soft drinks, shame as it's a nice place.

Nice little pub. I went when on holiday in lazonby for a meal with my family. I probably wouldn't go back for food again, though, as when paying £17 for a burger and £18 for fish and chips, i would expect better chips than frozen skinny fries. The service, though, was brilliant, and the atmosphere was good as well.

Fabulous place, delicious food. Our server was a young girl, forget her name but she was brilliant. We had a toddler and a small dog. They have a dog friendly pub and a dog friendly place to dine. Highly recommended. We were camping in lazonby so 5 mn drive away. Food nice and hot. Parking: Difficulty in parking just find a space in the road Kid-friendliness: We had a 2year old and they gave her time to think and actually took her order from her which she loved.

Overall disappointing experience; nothing really bad, but for the money (£55 for 2) expected better. The food was basically "stuff from the freezer" and nothing fresh or handmade, and there was little effort to garnish the dishes. Even the chips & onion rings were "oven ready". And it's a shame a Cumbrian pub serves beers from the Midlands when there are so many excellent local breweries around here. Starters: Squid rings: not really salt & peppered, and a bit soggy having been cooked from frozen. 6 rings for £7.50! So-called "stack" of haggis & black pudding; in reality 1 slice of haggis and 2 of pudding; a small amount of packet sauce sprinkled with packet dried onion bits. No bread or biscuits to accompany. £7 for that. Mains: Gormet burger and Chicken burger. Again all very shop-bought and something you could easily do at home (though we make our own burgers). No 'slaw or salad, and soggy sweet buns; not bakery crusty ones. We just expect something better when eating out at a pub; at least decent chips!

Had a lovely evening meal with my hubby. Both meals was great. I'm gluten and dairy free. I had fish chips and peas. They're where the best, I've ever had. The batter was light crispy and home made chips the best. Steak with all trimming chip was lovely to. The presentation was spot on. The staff where friendly. Totally recommended to family and friends.

Perfect place for a pint - always a nice atmosphere and friendly front of house team. The food isn’t so great - overpriced and inconsistent. We’ve had a few ok meals there in the last few weeks but the most recent, last week, was a real let down. I complained about the quality of my steak and was offered no alternative and still charged full price. Hope things improve soon. The Crown is a great pub in a brilliant village.

Lovely food and friendly staff
