Welcome to The Crown Inn Old Dalby, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire – If the village had a heart, it would be the pub. Kids, muddy boots and dogs welcome. Join us for a cosy drink in winter by our log fires or a refreshing drink in our garden in summer! Proper grub available seven days a week! We look forward to welcoming you. Love us x.
I visited January 2024 for the first time in 25 years. I was happy to find that it still has the charm of the small, cosy snugs but with the addition of new extensions. Nostalgia was satisfied.
The Crown in Old Dalby fell short of my expectations last weekend. Disappointingly, the London Pride was off, and a substantial portion of the menu was unavailable—three items to be exact. The ambiance suffered as well, with a cold room housing storage boxes, hinting at organisational lapses. The overall experience left the impression of us being forgotten about, a regrettable aspect for any dining establishment. On this occasion, improvement in beer quality, menu availability, and attention to customer experience is crucial for The Crown to meet the standards expected of a successful pub or eatery in Old Dalby.
It's really gone down hill in the last year or so. This used to be the place to go - with moderately high prices to suit. The last time we had food here it was not good - a grissly steak that was over seasoned. Have stopped eating here. The place used to be packed. Its a real shame.
On our way home from camping at Belvior Castle and decided to stop for Sunday lunch. So glad we found this pub is was so nice, great food and lovely garden. Service was amazing. Wasn't cheap but felt the service and food met the cost. If it was local I'd be there weekly!
Lovely unique and quirky pub. Lots of decor inside which makes it feel very nostalgic. No one chair or table od the same which all adds to the character. Seating area is available outside. The food was lovely, starting with homemade soup leek and ham and then scampi for main whilst my husband and friends all had a little Britain burger which was huge and looked awesome. Staff were super efficient, polite and friendly and are a credit it to the place. Thank you again for making our visit so pleasant 🙂
