About This Pub
Ah, the Crown in Wolverhampton – it's one of those places that really stands out for its hearty pub grub and cosy feel, isn't it? From what I've gathered from folks who've been, the food is a real highlight; we're talking about mouth-watering starters like scallops and mains that are cooked to perfection, paired with cracking cocktails that make any evening feel a bit special. The staff often go the extra mile, creating that personal touch for birthdays or casual catch-ups, and the decor blends traditional charm with modern twists, plus there's a lovely outdoor area for when the weather plays nice. On the downside, it's not all smooth sailing – a few have mentioned service dragging on, which can take the edge off an otherwise great night, and with prices on the higher end, it might not suit everyone for a quick pint. Still, if you're up for a proper treat and don't mind splashing out a little, it's definitely worth popping in for a taste of what makes it a favourite around these parts.

Amaretto Sour! Food cooked to absolute perfection.
Thank you for a wonderful Thursday evening.
We visited The Crown in Wolverhampton after reading their glowing claims of being a "premium pub, bar," with “honest pub food” and “on-point” service. Unfortunately, our experience was anything but.
To begin with, the service was incredibly slow and inattentive. It felt as though we were completely forgotten about, despite there only being a handful of tables occupied. We waited over 90 minutes for our main courses, we were told that it would take 30 minutes just for cooked carrots completely baffling given how quiet the place was.
To be fair, the three main meals we eventually received were nicely cooked, with the fish flaking perfectly. However, the squid starter arrived cold, and while the soup was okay, it wasn't enough to redeem the experience.
The dessert was the biggest let down. The menu promised a “home-baked cookie and ice cream,” but what we received was a rock-hard, stone-cold cookie that even the kids couldn't bite into. When we raised this with a blonde manager, they were dismissive and unhelpful showing a total lack of customer service or interest and just rude.
We also encountered further disinterest when asking for the bill the same blonde manager said they’d be over shortly but instead went off serving drinks behind the bar. It really felt like we didn’t “fit the criteria” of the kind of customers they care to serve.
To top it off, the waiter attempted to bring desserts to a table still cluttered with dirty main course plates. For a place that markets itself as a “premium” venue, it was sorely lacking in even the most basic service standards.
I wouldn’t recommend The Crown unless significant improvements are made. A nice venue alone doesn’t make for a good dining experience, service and care matter too.
Absolutely gorgeous - visited the crown for my birthday and couldn’t have had a better time . We were served by the incredible Frankie and she made the experience !! On top of our incredible server was the exquisite food - we couldn’t recommend the octopus to start more ! Thank you for making my birthday one to remember!!

Amazing food. So tasty. Enjoy the scallops as starters and fillet steak which was so tender and juicy. First visit but would definitely be returning. Lovely atmosphere and decor too. The chocolate orange martinis are fab too!! 😋
