“We had been concerned about wheelchair access and delighted that The Old Crown made it easy for our friends to enter and move about! We enjoyed a warm welcome and a variety of delicious dishes and drinks all served by the friendly staff. One person needed a gluten-free meal, and this proved to be easily done too. We had a lovely lunch, chatting and taking in the view of the pretty garden. In other words, a perfect place for meeting our daughter's future in-laws for the first time!”

“Stopped for mixed grill and a few drinks and loved. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was amazing, really fabulous mixed grill, full of flavour and incredibly well priced”
- Paul Robison
“The best curry I've had in the whole Cambridge area. The himalayas lamb was outstanding - tender and delicious. My wife had a special vegetable tarkari (Nepalese vegetable curry), which was also superb. Service was friendly and fast and the beer was good too (Tribute). Great value. We will be visiting others in this small but growing Nepalese chain.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
