We headed to a Chef and Brewer pub called The Crown in Penn, Bucks on a sunny spring evening.
I went for the three courses for £12.95. For starters I had the Sweet Chilli Prawns. The presentation wasn’t great with a limp bit of salad and a sprinkle of spring onion, but actually they were quite tasty. There was two different types with filo wrapped and breadcrumb coated. The filo was crisp and well cooked, as were the breadcrumbs and the prawns were juicy.
Then for the main I wanted steak, but they had run out, so I went for the British cod and chips and peas instead. It started off well with a lovely, crispy batter but the fish wasn’t the best quality. The inside didn’t flake as you would expect and it was a bit soggy. The chips were good and the peas, and for the price you can’t complain too much.
Lara had a tasty boar and chorizo burger, which came with an egg to her surprise! She said it was really good.
The dessert was the winner! I had Eton Mess Cheesecake. It was a sizeable portion of creamy cheesecake piled with cream, meringue and strawberry and a raspberry coulis. It was simply delicious but extremely rich! I could not finish it all.
Overall it was a good meal- not amazing but good for the price. I also really like the pub, which is always really busy.
