The atmosphere is quaint, as long as you are assertive about where you are seated. We were celebrating a birthday and, when we made our reservations, we had requested a table near a fireplace, if possible. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation time. We waited for half an hour while several parties that had reservation times later than ours were seated. We assumed this was because they were waiting for a table near a fireplace to become available. When "our table" was ready, we were led to a table near the path of the noisy and busy kitchen, with no fireplace in sight. We said we would prefer to wait for a table more to our liking. The hostess tried to convince us that the table near the kitchen was fine. But we spotted a table near the fireplace, just as we had hoped for, and asked if we could be seated there. After checking with the maitre d', we were seated at the table we had requested. All in all, we probably will not be returning to Five Crowns for a special occasion again. It really wasn't very special. It could be good for a casual meal in their pub, though.
