The Famous Crown

First time in Didsbury , discovered this lovely pub , with a open fire , decent pint and lovely food , the landlady Dionne went above and beyond to make me and my partner welcome , we felt part of the family after just 1 visit , met a lovely couple Linda and Steve , this a future must for us .Fantastic find .

We had the pleasure of spending a few evenings in the company of the delightful Dionne and her staff on our recent trip home to the UK.
She made us feel so welcome and at home, making us realize what we miss about the UK most, a friendly, warm and inviting pub.
The Crown itself is a warm and inviting place, with many cozy nooks to spend time with family and friends. Beautiful decor, in keeping with the age of the establishment.
The food was exceptional. We had a variety of meals between us all, which were all of restaurant standard, both in presentation and taste. Definitely great value for money.
We played a few games with the bar staff one night, and had an absolute blast.
Many Thanks to Everyone at the Crown for making our trip home, such a memorable and enjoyable one. We will definitely have you on our hit list on our next trip back to Manchester.

Sunday lunch at the Famous Crown is simply the best! Even the Grandchildren love it as they are treated like VIPs by Dionne and staff every time we go. If you like to wash your meal down with a lovely glass of quality wine, then you won’t be disappointed. The open fireplace… what more can I say? It just sets the scene for a relaxing afternoon!

Been a couple of times and had lovely food and a great night on both occasions. Really lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere and both meals we had were fab. Very impressed with the zero tolerance policy on poor behaviour with one evening a small group being removed due to inappropriate behaviour.

A friend recommended us to go in as they love this place as it’s really dog friendly.

Lovely open fire made it feel so homely.

The landlady is incredibly welcoming, makes you feel that your custom is valued and that she will do everything she can to ensure that you have a great night! The food is fantastic- generous portions and full of flavour, and the variety of Gluten Free food is great. Every meal we have had there has been delicious! Will definitely be back.

A place that makes you feel at home

The owner of this location respects her customers enormously and even when she encounters difficulties in carrying out the activity, she always finds solutions to remedy the situation.

The atmosphere is quiet, you meet quality people, you have good food and special drinks.

It is a pub worth visiting every time you go to Didabury.

All the best!

First visit with Martin Meerkat since The "Famous" Crown reopened after a few years. Seems very much as was..just cleaner. Oddly Martin's friend Tim came a few weeks ago and had to remove his hat? My wooly hat was acceptable. Go figure. TV and sport in back room. Real ale choice of Sharps Atlantic, Purity Longhorn Rye IPA or Taylor's Landlord..had the later. Good pint. Best memory was when wife came in with her backpack..turned round and sent a pint flying off a ledge..NOT ME! Must have been the fairies. Or Flat Eric.
