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.

    We had a great Sunday roast at the Crown & Mitte kings Lynn, the food was excellent and staff very friendly. One member of staff kindly kept back a nut roast ad I had rang earlier, which was much appreciated. Great ambience and some great nautical deco 😊

    Well I thought the Crown and Mitre made my sister's birthday lunch very special. Quite unexpectedly they gave her a lovely card, hand signed, and they put a candle on her dessert. Lovely gesture. It's a peaceful setting, with great views of the river.

    A very welcoming venue with a good atmosphere. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had the Express Menu, which we felt was good value for money. Unfortunately, even though we dined at an early time of 5.30pm, there were only two of the three starters and desserts available and service was extremely slow. We were pleased we had booked an early slot as it took an hour and a half for a two course meal and the dessert we chose was a possett which simply had to be taken out of the fridge and placed on a plate. Having said that, we enjoyed our experience, the food was good and hot and we were seated upstairs with lovely views across the river. Recommended but allow time.

    The Crown and Mitre has been put back on the map! Lovely food, welcoming staff and a warm ambience of a traditional pub with stunning river views. Efficient and helpful attentive staff. Very accommodating and welcoming. Highly recommended From Sarah @ Scone Already

    Been here before and thoroughly enjoyed it, couldn’t fault the food or the service. Unfortunately on this visit it was underwhelming and disappointing. It was clear to see that there were not enough staff working the restaurant. Multiple options were sold out on the menu and there was quite a wait for food. My partner ordered a drink, and had to chase it up 3 times over 45 minutes. It never turned up and when we pointed out that we still hadn’t got our drink, they said they would just remove it instead of bringing it to us. I don’t think we will be visiting again and it’s such a shame because it’s a beautiful pub/restaraunt.
