About The Three Crowns
The Three Crowns is a British gastropub on Lichfield Rd in Stone, part-thatched with oak beams and an open fire. The kitchen runs a menu of around 20 dishes, with sea bass and fish and chips alongside a pint of beer at the bar. Table service brings food to the room, and reservations are recommended. Outdoor seating extends the dining area outside, and the step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs. Dogs are welcome in the dining areas, and food is also available for takeaway. The pub opens daily. Around Christmas, the kitchen puts on a traditional Christmas dinner menu, with Christmas pudding served alongside the log fire that runs through the rest of the year.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roasts draw repeat praise, with turkey, lamb, and a Christmas pudding singled out as standouts, and the wood burning fire and cosy, homely atmosphere come up again and again alongside consistently friendly, helpful staff. Several diners describe temperature and consistency problems though: cold beef with thin gravy and unpeeled vegetables in one visit, only warm mains (ribeye steak and chicken burger) in another with no adjustment offered on the bill, and a Christmas dinner beef wellington that had to be swapped for pork after arriving below standard. One regular reviewer criticizes the menu as unchanged for years and objects to dogs being allowed in the dining area, while another notes tables left uncleared outdoors led to a wasp problem. When kitchen mishaps do occur, staff have sometimes remedied them on the spot, as with the swapped Christmas dinner mains.

“The three crowns is our local and we visit regularly. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The menu sadly let's the place down. It's been the same menu for years and drastically needs changing. The other major down fall is they allow dogs in the dining areas which to me is really disgusting. The pub is a traditional thatch roofed pub with log fires and I always think it could be so much better. To make it better I'd definitely change the menu and ban dogs. To me there is absolutely no need whatsoever to take a dog in a restaurant.”

“The atmosphere and service were great. However, the food left a bit to be desired despite looking delicious. The beef was cold and the gravy was very thin and flavourless. The vegetables hadn’t been peeled which put me off and the …”

Location
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
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, 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.
