We stayed for two nights at The Crown and it was lovely. The staff were very friendly , polite and also helpful. The room was extremely comfortable and warm , great bed , bath and walk in shower. The food was also excellent and they they must have a great chef.
What an absolute Gem of a place. We nipped in for lunch on the Saturday and had the most amazing BLT sandwiches! Which then prompted us to book Sunday lunch.... and we were not disappointed! Huge portions, beautiful veggies, very tasty! Stayed for a good 3 hours on each occasion! Nice cosy atmosphere. The landlord was very welcoming. We will definitely be back to Benson, even if its just to go eat and chill out at The Crown Inn!
Friendly welcoming staff. My Room was well decorated but cramped with nowhere to put my suitcase. Excellent shower! The vegetarian breakfast was well cooked apart from the spinage which was incredibly salty and an excessive quantity of boiled potatoes with a hash brown. Overall an enjoyable stay.
Had Sunday lunch today at the Crown in Benson, really disappointed to be honest. The roast dinners were inadequate, we had 1.5 potatoes each, the beef was so stringy and undercooked and it looked revolting. The vegetables were good so we at least had something for our money. Then, our puddings arrived, my Eaton mess could have been served in an egg cup it was that small. We got our puddings for free but I’m sorry to say it didn’t really make up for it. I felt sorry for the young lady serving as she tried her best to apologise, but spending £75 on 3 dinners you would expect so much more. It was a waste of a Sunday dinner and I felt aggrieved my wife paid for any of it. Never again!
We walked into Benson from the Thames pathway and found this lovely watering hole in the centre of town. The food was excellent and freshly prepared. I had a lovely chicken ciabatta with fries, and it was delicious. Dad had a fish wrap, which he said was equally delicious. We both finished off with a berry crumble with salted caramel ice cream, perfect. We poth had a great pint of Hook Norton Brewery pale, which was in very good condition. The bill came to a very reasonable £50 including a £5 tip. The service is very good! If you are in the area, it's very well worth a visit and a small deviation from your walk a long the Thames.
