Crown Hotel

The 2012 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

The Crown’s year-round popularity with locals, tourists and golfers alike demonstrates its consistency in delivering great food. Whether for fine pub fare in the lounge with open fire, à la carte dinner in the relaxed conservatory dining room or a beer on the large open terrace overlooking the harbour front, there’s always a bustling atmosphere. With its long-standing reputation for fresh fish and seafood, menus feature locally caught lobster thermidor, west coast scallops wrapped in smoked bacon and crab claws alongside signature dishes of Buccleuch beef steaks and Galloway lamb, as well as standard pub grub, pizzas and grills.
