About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
The Crown & Mitre is a Grade II listed building built as private houses in the 1600's and converted into a pub in 1743.
Since that date the premises have retained not just the name but also the licence. It’s now an independent freehold pub business. We have recently taken over and are eager to create something unique to King’s Lynn.

As an established company and our key team having over 100 years experience in the licensed trade, we bring all our love for great food, wine and beer to the Crown & Mitre for your delight.

Located at the end of Ferry St on the shores of the great River Ouse the pub is steeped in nautical memorabilia that adds a touch of quirkiness and gets you wondering how old they are and where it all came from.

    Quite honestly, one of the best Sunday dinners I’ve ever had. Every component was delicious and you can tell just how much time and care was taken into making this the best possible experience for the diner. Triple pork was out of this world, the Yorkshire puddings impeccable and the vegetables cooked to perfection. Everything was good and fair value for money. Oh, and the gravy was to die for. Hollie was a friendly and attentive server - and what’s more they serve an excellent pint of Woodforde’s Wherry. A lovely afternoon in very pleasant surroundings, overlooking the Great Ooze. What a gem in the heart of King’s Lynn!

    A really nice, little pub with a small restaurant area inside. The service was good, very attentive and polite staff. The food was very, very nice. However, I would have expected at least that for a meal for 2 costing £83! That was for one coffee, a double Malibu, Sourdough bread bar snack, 2 mains and 2 desserts. For a pub I have to say that is a tad on the steep side. Having said that, I would go again as the food was so damn nice! The atmosphere was nice and quiet except for a chap who didn't stop swearing whilst chatting to his mate and other half (who told him off), but that is not the fault of the pub. Overall, lovely pub, very polite staff and great food. Just make sure your have deep pockets!

    Unfortunately, not the great experience we were expecting. I will put it down to a bad day in the kitchen but am reluctant to re-visit, especially at those prices. My wife's meal was prepared incorrectly, despite her being offered an alternative due to an allergy. We were told it would need to be prepared all over again, even though we had been waiting a while. Very unprofessionally, the waiter asked if I would like my meal bringing out so I could get started... I stated that we were here for a meal together so that would be unsatisfactory. I then asked if that meant my meal would just sit & dry out whilst waiting.... he giggled, shrugged & said 'well, yeah". When my wife's came out, it wasn't what was expected at all. For my meal, which HAD begun to dry out, I asked for mash instead of chips with my pork chop... and that is ALL I got... no trimmings, extras that I would have expected. Nice pork but not great value for money at all.

    Lovely food and good choice of menu. The conservatory has good river views. Staff very friendly but not very proactive with dessert menus or bill. Too busy clearing tables to attend to customers.

    Lovely food as usual. Lobster bisque special was special. Overlooking the river. Great service. Our favourite place to eat or have a pint in town.
