The Crown Inn at Benson

The Crown was everything we needed for an overnight stop with our pooch. Clean and tidy rooms, at a good price. They made everything so easy from the time I called to book, until we checked out after breakfast. Leanne and Sian were so helpful, friendly and welcoming. We couldn't of wished for more. Thank you !!

Great Sunday lunch. Good portion size. Plenty of veg, which I love. The only negative for me was the gravy, I believe there was quite a lot of pepper in there and that is not to my taste. The staff were lovely and very friendly landlord. Bonus today, live music as there was a party in the courtyard. Will definitely be back

I m still at Crown inn for few days during my short trip in this area. The building is traditional and warm, bed Is very comfortable and shower very hot! I had good soup for dinner, lovely time... Like my stay here. Looking forward to have breakfast tomorrow!

Sunday lunch with a friend while visiting Oxford. Welcomed and shown to our table and given a full run down of what was available and the days special dishes. Any concerns we had that the pub was half full were soon forgotten when the food arrived. Lamb shank for one and two roast Turkey dinners. Initially came as two lamb shanks but quickly fixed. Lamb fell off the bone. Both meats were tasty and came with Yorkshire, roast potato’s, 3 or 4 veg and gravy / sauce. My only suggestion would be a little extra veg wouldn’t have gone a miss eg 2 small roast potato’s wasn’t enough. If I wished for more veg the same could not be said for deserts. Large chocolate brownie and ice cream for two and cheese and biscuits made up of two large pieces of mature cheddar and Stilton with crackers and chutney. Good value at £110 inc a couple of soft drinks each.

Absolutely brilliant, the food was beautiful, we had 3 meals over the course of the weekend, each one outstanding, the rooms were so clean and comfortable and the service was unbelievably good. Cannot wait to head back. Already booking for early in the new year.

Very disappointing lunch. I had to ask twice for the wine I ordered. I ordered French onion soup which came in a very shallow bowl with loads onions and melted cheese with no soup at all none. My mother had pork belly which had no crackling and was very very tough. I will not return again
