Eat Game Awards Finalist

Our focus on game and its sustainability has also earned The Crown recognition from Eat Game which is a group “aiming to educate, inspire and promote benefits of sustainable, delicious game meat.” The Crown has been placed on their shortlist for the Eat Game 2025 awards in the Best Restaurant/Pub category, as well as The Crown’s Head Chef Greig Young for the category of Best Game Chef. 

We are especially excited about this and would love you to all support us by voting! 

Deer on the estate

Our sustainability mission continues as we have just recently announced our Gamekeeper’s Supper at The Crown, Bildeston. We are incredibly lucky as The Crown is situated on our expansive and bountiful Estate, that allows us to grow and much of the food we serve. Our Nedging Hall Kitchen gardens are what provide us with the figs that appear on our cheese platters, the vegetables that accompany our Christmas roasts, and so much more. The menus are ever changing as the seasonality of our produce does too.  

Our focus on limiting environmental impact is what has enabled us to enhance our menu’s flavour and selection as it sparks creativity among our chefs. We never view the changing of available produce as limiting, but rather as something that encourages a wider array of high-quality cuisine.  

Our Gamekeeper’s Supper also aligns with this same ethos, as the game too is sourced from our Estate. We believe in managing the deer to ensure a healthy population and a balanced ecosystem.
