    Came for the first time for a Mother’s Day treat and we all had a lovely roast dinner. The place was really busy but all the staff were all so welcoming, friendly and attentive. The Yorkshire puddings were homemade and huge, the roast beef and lamb portions were very generous. Will definitely return

    Welcomed into the restaurant. Nice atmosphere and genuinely interested staff. The food was nicely presented and generous with portion size. We have been visiting The Crofton over 20 years now for various occasions and have never been disappointed.

    Things have changed at the Crofton. Where as once upon a time you got good basic value for money food, Crofton has now joined the rest of the local pubs and increased prices above and beyond what inflation dictates. I appreciate that wages, fuel and food have all increased since Covid, but the customer is still paying for it. It is time that the restaurant world wake up and realised that less and less will be trending to traditional pubs and restaurants and give their custom to others. You only have to look at chains like Wetherspoons, Hungry Horse and similar pub chains to see where the crowds are. They are looking for value for money.
