13.95 Sunday roast was quite funny, my parents tried it on the off chance it was really nice but it was tiny (see photo). Burger was decent, and seemed like chippy chips. Staff were avoidant, and only communicated the bare necessities to facilitate a transaction. Bit of an odd place

Great location on the Portpatrick seafront. We had the attic queen room which had a sea view but watch your head! Restaurant quality was a bit mixed but comes with a better reputation for dinner. Breakfast spoilt for choice and decent quality. Well stocked bar with draught real ale and plenty of seating.

The staff were very welcoming and pleasant. There were 5adults and two children. Our orders were taken at the bar and we did not have long to wait until our food was served. It was delicious,everyone enjoyed their food. We will definitely be back.
Thankyou.

Have visited the Crown over many years and always had a superb meal, whatever we chose. The staff are friendly but at the same time professional and attentive. Despite the fact they are very busy, we have never had to wait very long for our food. Finally, on leaving this visit, a gentleman member of staff helped negotiate my 93 year old mum, in a wheelchair, out of the pub and to our car
(in the pouring rain) now that is service with a smile!

Visited many times. Better than average food. Great location. Good to sit outside if weather OK. Very busy today but the food was served quickly and was excellent. Only small downside is it can be a little cramped when busy, but it's a good atmosphere.

Average food with a hefty price tag for the quality and quantity. Bland tasting Thai style dish and under cooked chips. One of the male staff was very rude, wouldn't be top of my list for a return visit in Portpatrick.
