"First time visiting The Crown at Ampney Brook, drawn in by the location and the style based on the images from the web site. The looks and feel was amazing, unfortunately things started to unravel quickly. There was a wedding on, which we suspected when we really struggled to park, but got parked eventually. Experience tells me we should have just left, but the pictures from inside looked fantastic. We decided to go and have lunch, accepting that the service was going to be impacted. We sat down with the menus we’d been handed and there was some nice sounding found on offer. We waited and waited to give our order, we finally ordered food and then had to ask the waiter to take our drink order as they didn’t bother. We then waited and waited and waited. Eventually some water turned up. We sat chatting and had drank most of the bottle of water when our drinks turned up. After another long wait and several trips to the bathroom, our food turned up. I had ordered Venison cottage pie and my wife had order Chicken Club sandwich. The cottage pie was tasty to be fair, but had hardly any potato on top, which was disappointing, it also came with charred cabbage, which was really nice and added to the dish. The chicken club sandwich came on brioche bread, which completely took over the taste of the sandwich. This too was disappointing. Eventually our plates were cleared and eventually we we asked if we wanted pudding. We had by this pointed accepted that our lunch outting was going to take much longer than expected, we were in for the long haul. Our puddings of Chaux for my wife and sticky toffee pudding finally turned up.and they were fantastic, worth a wait but not as long as we’d had to wait. If the pudding hadn’t of been so good, I would have given 1 star overall, especially given the cost plus there was a 12.5% service charge added, which TBH, I hadn’t noticed until after we’d left I would suggest, if you are going to visit The Crown, go when there’s no wedding on and the car park is empty. My suggestion to The Crown (if they read this), don’t accept table reservations, as you can’t cope with the additional orders. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £70–80 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5 Parking space: Difficult to find parking Parking options: Free parking lot"

"I don't write many reviews but this was a must. I have been to this cafe a number of times and never had a problem but this time was horrendous. The cafe was suffering a wasp infestation but as we arrived the staff were just opening the door so we decided to stay. As our food arrived we were swamped by wasps wanting our sweet waffles and milkshakes. My children were crying and our food crawling with wasps. I asked the staff for a fly hitter or what could they do, they replied there was nothing they could do. I had to leave our food to move away with my children resulting in me feeding my two year old stood up as she had a savoury waffle I asked the staff again what could they do and again no help was given from them, so they were happy for my children to be crying, our food being attacked by wasps and them having a cigarette break outside. We were offered take away boxes so I did take what I could with me but not a lot of our food as it had wasps on it. We spent nearly £60 in the cafe and i felt they didn’t care about their service one bit or grateful at all we took our custom there. My children being upset is not how I want to spend a treat day with them and no apology from the staff means I won’t be going again! I know wasps aren’t all year round but I would of thought they would of had a precaution for this type of thing considering it’s not their first year as a business and most of their waffles are sweet, they sell ice cream and milkshake!"

"My daughter and I visited this pub a few months ago. We had heard that the food could be a bit of a hit-and-miss affair. However on this occasion we had a lovely meal. We met the proprietor who seemed a very pleasant chap. Last Sunday we went for lunch 7 of us. Well. Unfortunately, on this particular day it was definitely a miss. The Turkey was very good, but unfortunately a couple ordered roast beef which was tough and hard to eat. 1 person did not eat her meal at all. Roast potatoes were hard and the roast parsnips done to a crisp. A very tiny sausage in a small piece of bacon and a tiny round ball of stuffing was what constituted the trimmings. My son in law ordered a latte, which was weak watery and undrinkable. My daughter and I ordered Irish coffee which was weak, watery, very sweet and the cream on top had been sprayed out of an aerosol can, it was horrible. When paying the bill I met the proprietor for the first time since the initial occasion when all had been so good. I mentioned how disappointed we were with the meal and what the problems were and I was met with complete indifference, no apology and certainly no refund. Hard to believe that this was the same person! Sometimes it's not what goes wrong it's how things are dealt with when they do go wrong. The waiting staff were lovely and helpful but on the basis of hit and miss, I need to go to a pub where the proprietor actually cares about his customers and is there to put things right if things go wrong? Shall never go back and I live locally."
