Restaurant at The Crown & Punchbowl Description
A 400-year old former coaching inn with accommodation that has stacks of charm and fine food served in style, the antiquity of the Crown and Punchbowl is there for all to see, very East of England and giving that air of permanence that seems to grow out of the ground. Old though the pub may be the opportunity has not been lost to combine age with contemporary décor and the overall effect is effective and undemanding.
The à la carte lists chicken and pepper terrine with red onion marmalade amongst the starters, followed by a main course of duck breast with potato and orange rösti, braised red cabbage and Rioja jus. A blackboard lists the seasonal fish and range of sausages, whilst puddings seem to be a speciality of the house with peach and mascarpone charlotte with roasted peach.
A set lunch menu of two or three courses draws the midday business crowd into its pleasantly rural surroundings.
Fixed Lunch
- £11.95 (2 courses) to £14.95 (3 courses)
Your Reviews of Restaurant at The Crown & Punchbowl
Julie Townsend (18 November 2007)
We had an excellent meal at the Crown and Punchbowl - both food and wine were excellent, served by courteous staff in a lovely setting. The real fire adds to the ambience - overall, a fabulous night out.
Martin Jennings (27 April 2007)
All three of the Camcuisine chain are excellent venues. The Boathouse is great for all the family weekend eating and midweek treats. We go there regularly and only once have we been let down - on a busy Mother’s Day when unfortunately we were the last in.
The CandPB is the jewel in their crown and the first of the three restaurants. It does not emphasis sausage and mash, but offers a real budget alternative dinner for midweek diners. Their fish dishes are their speciality, as the specials board denotes. If they are serving sea bass fillets order them! Yum Yum.
