the crown hotel

great value for money and decent food came as a real surprise for me at the crown. from the outside, this place really lacks curb appeal. it needs a refresh because it's actually got great food! inside is better but still a little dull. we ordered lunch and it came quickly. i had the pulled pork burger which was tasty - reallygoodsoft bun and a generous amount of pork. pork wasn't the best i've ever had but still tasty. the chips were really crispy and yum and a great aioli dipping sauce. my husband had the steak sandwich which he really enjoyed (and the man is a steak sandwich lover). there are plenty of drinks to choose from (not a lot of great craft beer though) and wine specials for $5 a glass are always welcome.

the food isn't totally amazing but my score is based on value for money and judging it for what it is.

a bit of a refresh and this place would be a great local that i'd visit again.

diana. thought we would go out of our comfort zone & try pub grub for a change at the crown which looksgoodafter the reno (dont know when that was incidently) we had a voucher deal for this adventure into the burbs which included a glass of wine & $10 pokie credit entre & mains. the entre was pretty basic fare, an asian tasting plate, which seemed to me like was frozen & fried (like those mixed bags in the supermarket freezers) the brushetta bread we had was quitegood(maybe the best dish of the night!) for the mains we had two fish dishes, i had the grilled fish with salad & beer battered fries which was not bad apart from the one piece of fish being a bit rubbery, the partner had a mixed selection which he too thought was ok. the charming waiter who served the food was just so sweet, but the best part of the night was when we went to use our gaming credit & a rude woman got stroppy when i accidently sat in her chair, evidently this poker machine stuff is taken very seriously so if you happen to go to the crown do not nick someones seat!!! lol
