The Crown: The another Bray eating place, Bray

 listony Says:  The previous reviewer did not know if the Crown served food. Well it certainly does and it is really good. It is also good value for money. My favorite dish is their Moules Mariniere. Every time we visit the UK we manage to visit the Crown.
