Neighbourhood gem

The Crown & Mitre is a Grade II listed building built as private houses in the 1600's and converted into a pub in 1743.
Since that date the premises have retained not just the name but also the licence. It’s now an independent freehold pub business. We have recently taken over and are eager to create something unique to King’s Lynn.

As an established company and our key team having over 100 years experience in the licensed trade, we bring all our love for great food, wine and beer to the Crown & Mitre for your delight.

Located at the end of Ferry St on the shores of the great River Ouse the pub is steeped in nautical memorabilia that adds a touch of quirkiness and gets you wondering how old they are and where it all came from.

Unfortunately, not the great experience we were expecting. I will put it down to a bad day in the kitchen but am reluctant to re-visit, especially at those prices. My wife's meal was prepared incorrectly, despite her being offered an alternative due to an allergy. We were told it would need to be prepared all over again, even though we had been waiting a while. Very unprofessionally, the waiter asked if I would like my meal bringing out so I could get started... I stated that we were here for a meal together so that would be unsatisfactory. I then asked if that meant my meal would just sit & dry out whilst waiting.... he giggled, shrugged & said 'well, yeah". When my wife's came out, it wasn't what was expected at all. For my meal, which HAD begun to dry out, I asked for mash instead of chips with my pork chop... and that is ALL I got... no trimmings, extras that I would have expected. Nice pork but not great value for money at all.

Lovely food and good choice of menu. The conservatory has good river views. Staff very friendly but not very proactive with dessert menus or bill. Too busy clearing tables to attend to customers.

Lovely food as usual. Lobster bisque special was special. Overlooking the river. Great service. Our favourite place to eat or have a pint in town.

The Crown & Mitre is such a unique building with so much memorabilia within the premises. We have been a few times in the last year and would say its menu gives a good choice & generous sides! The staff are all great & happy to chat and help with recommendations. A fantastic place and lovely setting.

Excellent meal - a warm welcome, cracking food, ales and wine My only comment, we always order your delicious selection of Norfolk cheeses for dessert and will ask at commencement of meal so it’s out of the fridge
