Have visited twice but haven't been inside yet, instead have made use of their outside tables and attentive service. Both visits were for a Sunday roast where each component was exceptional. Recommend getting a side order or their cauliflower cheese which was amazing. Good selection of deserts too. Experience topped off with friendly staff who are invested in ensuring you enjoy your visit. Fully recommended.

Take away service excellent in terms of food quality . Good mid week menus and Sunday roasts. Food is hot on arrival. Would suggest customer collects as delivery can be delayed as ours was one Sunday.When could not get through one time, they rang me back. Had lunch in Lexden Crown today 31st July. Excellent Sunday roast ...good portions and service good. Many eating outside in the marquee as very warm today.

Had a meal here last night. We sat in the garden and the setting was very nice (fairy lights, unique tables and under a marquee). It was a Friday night and at first it was very quiet. We got seated and took our order very quickly. All staff very prompt and polite. We got cheesy garlic pizza bread to start which was cooked in the pizza ovens outside. Was very nice. For main I got the Thai chicken curry. Was really flavourful and had good amount of authentic vegetables. My girlfriend got fish and chips...was OK but the batter was very oily. We both had sticky toffee puddings for desert which were OK, ice cream was better than the pudding itself. As the evening went on it got very busy and service slowed down significantly. Not the staffs fault but probably could have done with 1 extra server on a Friday night. For drinks we both had Aspall ciders but drinks options was vast. The overall price was about 70 pounds which is quite reasonable for a lot of food and 4 drinks. You could easily pay £40 for two by just getting a main and one drink each. Overall a good experience and tasty food, look forward to going again.

My family and I visited The Lexden Crown for the 1st time on Sunday and we were more than impressed. The roasts were delicious and you definitely get plenty for what you pay for. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very chilled and relaxed. The staff were incredibly attentive, which we always appreciate as such a large group. The manager Sam was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. Will be back again very soon :)
