Quick info
About Crown Hotel
On Chellaston Rd. in Derby, Crown Hotel operates as a pub, bar and hotel with indoor lodging under one roof. Guests walk in rather than book ahead for the bar and pub side of the business. A function room is available free of charge for private parties, and it sometimes hosts live bands, though seating can run short on those nights since the room lacks enough chairs and tables to match band nights. Dogs are welcome on the premises. Between the drinking and dining space, the overnight rooms and the function room, the Crown Hotel covers several uses within the same building on Chellaston Rd.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the friendly welcome from bar staff and fellow customers, describing a good atmosphere and a family pub where everybody is made to feel welcome. Close behind is the function room at the back, which several reviewers used for a 60th birthday party and a private party, and one describes having a wedding reception in the lambert lounge decades ago. One reviewer calls the function room large and free. Others mention great prices, quick service, and a live band they found brilliant. The recurring complaints are specific. One reviewer found too few chairs and tables in the function room while a band played, and another visiting on a Sunday afternoon found the bar girl so grumpy it caused an atmosphere, with a DJ so loud they couldn't talk. That reviewer said they won't be rushing back. Even so, most reviewers return to the same picture of a friendly local where a band was playing and the party guests enjoyed themselves.
