Wow – a word that truly sums up our experience at the Crown Hotel's restaurant open evening. Not only were we treated like Kings and Queens but were fed like ones too. Having been greeted by both Craig and Katey, we were welcomed into their rustic, recently renovated restaurant where we enjoyed three courses of exceptional food.
The restaurant itself has been decorated to create a warm, relaxing environment in which you can recline in leather booths and chat amongst the rustic, modern setting. As soon as we were at our table we were made to feel at home, and this relaxation is key in the enjoyment of the food.
What really grabbed us when choosing our meal is the wide variety; without there being too much choice so you don't even know where to start. Starters consist of sharing platters from different cultural cuisines, including Mediterranean and Asian, whilst single starters include something for everyone from bowls of Olives to a small portion of some of the main meals, e.g. Chicken Caesar Salad.
After some deliberation I chose Baked Camembert with rustic breads followed by the Chicken Breast with Pancetta and Bubble & Squeak and my partner the Duck Spring Rolls followed by Venison Haunch. Our appetites well and truly whetted we were keen to get started, and when our starters arrived we were not disappointed! My Camembert was melted to perfection and the infusion of rosemary and garlic really gave it the edge, whilst the duck spring rolls made such an impression on my partner, I've heard about them every day since!
Moving onto the mains our plates of food were incredibly well presented and the Mediterranean vegetables we ordered to go with them were cooked to perfection. Both the chicken breast and venison were incredibly tender and the mash (bubble and squeak with the chicken, root vegetable with the venison) entirely complimented the dish.
Finally, it wouldn't have been complete without a pudding and ordering the Chocolate Brownie and Caramel Bramley Apple Cheesecake we had just enough room left to enjoy these little delights. The brownie was served with white chocolate ice cream and the cheesecake with toffee chunk ice cream, we were in pudding heaven!
Needless to say we did roll home that night, but with a stuffed, satisfied feeling that neither of us have enjoyed for quite some time. Far too often you enjoy a meal that is OK, but you're not still talking about it the week after, and we're certainly still talking about the delights of The Crown. We were blown away, and not just because of the food but the warm atmosphere and staff.
It was clear that the staff were incredibly proud of the new restaurant and were keen to hear what our thoughts on each dish were – and obviously they weren't disappointed. Speaking to the chef we discussed the fact that some had commented the portions slightly too big, with us disagreeing wholeheartedly as both of us had cleaned our plates entirely (not quite sure what this says about us!) As we said they were 'Yorkshire Sized Portions' and the Yorkshire roots is something they have also captured, using local produce as their ingredients.
If you're wanting to go somewhere extra-special for that special occasion, or just fancy a bite to eat one weekend, I can only recommend The Crown. Un-rushed and in a relaxing environment, lie back in the leather couch, admire the modern art and glass lights and enjoy food that really is second-to-none.
A big thank you to all at The Crown and congratulations on creating a food experience that will be remembered for many months to come.

Hotel Sales Manager to be Scouting for Girls at Ladies Day!!
Crown Hotel Bawtry Sales Manager Katey Dent is delighted to have been asked to join the honored few of being a ‘Fashion Fillie’ at the DFS Ladies Day at Doncaster Racecourse in September.
Katey will join the select few to literally ‘Scout for girls’ to go through to the Best Dressed Lady Competition to be held at the racecourse on 8th September – Ladies Day of the famous Leger week.
Katey commented “I am absolutely thrilled to have been asked to do this! I just love fashion and also the races and so the two combined is going to just brilliant!”
She continued “I will be on the look out for style and sophistication. A lady that is unique in her style and who stands out from the crowd from the first impression. The winner will be picked by judges from our chosen few and the winner of the title of Best Dressed Lady will receive not only the title, but prizes from The Crown hotel, Robinsons of Bawtry, Elements Medispa and Funky Fascinators – to name but a few! What a great prize!”
The winner of Doncaster that day will then go through to the final of Yorkshire’s Best Dressed Lady which takes place straight after the Doncaster competition.
Katey works at the local Crown Hotel in Bawtry who are not only the preferred partner hotel to the Racecourse, but will be sponsoring a race on Ladies Day.
To promote the event, Doncaster Racecourse has also taken on a new initiative giving sound to social media! Steve Adamson, resident social media marketing expert at Doncaster Racecourse says social media is a massive business tool and an opportunity yet to be embraced by many. He added:
“We’ve massively grown the racecourse’s social media presence since last year’s Ladbrokes St. Leger Festival. Twitter specifically has become one of the most efficient ways we can interact with our customers. From a standing start last year, we’re now the fifth most dominant UK racecourse on Twitter. For us, social media is less about marketing and more about talking and listening to our customers. Of course we embrace the more traditional outlets like Facebook, but trying out innovations like Audioboo help us reach new audiences who are ever hungry for different content”

Crown Hotel Bawtry Team put feet up after Charity Bike Ride!!
The five-man team of long distance cyclists from Bawtry’s Crown Hotel have completed their marathon fundraising Coast-to-Coast ride.
Staff members Des White, Codie Thompson, Micky Winter, Adam Hancock and Peter Ward pedalled the gruelling 150 miles of tracks and roads from Whitehaven to Tynemouth in three days to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.
Des, aged 37, form Tickhill, is used to tough tasks as for seven years he served in the Royal Navy as a weapons engineer - but he still found the big ride to be a real test.
He said: “The first day of riding took us the 55 miles from Whitehaven to Penrith and took in some really hilly terrain. It was a hard day during which I damaged the ligaments in my knee.
“It was just a question of keeping going over the massive hills on day two from Penrith to Allenheads during which we climbed 1,900ft over the summit of Hartshead.
“Day three was a long one of 75 miles but it was less hilly and it turned out to be a pleasant ride. I was a little nervous at the start of the ride, as I knew that it was going to be hard going. But I really enjoyed the entire experience and it was a fantastic feeling to have completed the ride.
“We were able to celebrate at the finish in Tynemouth by tucking into fish and chips.”
It was Bawtry man Micky Winter’s third fundraising Coat 2 Coast ride - and he is already planning next year’s expedition to Vietnam.
