Three Kings – oops ‘Crowns’ for Christmas
Feel like treating yourself to a perfectly cooked juicy steak?
Well welcome to ‘Sharm el Steak’ the catch phrase of ‘The Three Crowns’, the place which has steadily built its reputation on providing consistently good quality steak among other things on their vast menu.
We popped up to Nabq to check out their claim to fame and to also book our place at their equally famous Christmas dinner.
The Three Crowns is as its name implies a Brit pub serving up a mix of what Brit’s love most; good pub grub at good prices, sport on lots of large flat screen T.Vs and a nice pub atmosphere with friendly English speaking staff.
It’s a formula which really works as the place was packed full when we arrived to catch the tail end of the footie match and of course grab a bite to eat.
The place is large and spacious with lots of options for seating arrangements.
It’s casual and friendly, so you can choose to eat on the high tables with high chairs, on the lounge tables, in the restaurant area or even sitting at the bar.
We picked a spot where my partner could keep an eye on the match but equally enjoy my companionship 🙂
Where ever you sit, you have full service and the waiting staff are very attentive and friendly. We were asked if we were dining, given menus and served drinks all within five minutes of sitting down.
The menu is extensive and has increased considerably since the early days of the Three Crowns opening.
There are starters, combo platters, baguettes, jacket potatoes, omlettes, salads, burgers, chicken dishes, steak dishes, fish, pasta, and curry. So basically they have all bases covered.
You can have a snack or go all out there and order Lobster Thermidor, Beef Wellington or their renowned Chateaubriand for two.
We ordered a combo starter platter which allows you to pick ‘n’ mix from a choice of eight items. We had the BBQ Chicken wings, Battered Mushrooms & Loaded Potato skins.
We were also treated to a sample of their homemade Chicken Liver Pate which is featuring on their Christmas Menu.
Everything was tasty but for small appetites be warned you definitely get you value for money as the servings are big.
For the main course my partner choose the Beef fillet cooked medium with Roquefort sauce, side salad and chips.
You can choose a variety of different sides and sauces.
I choose the Surf ‘n’ Turf which was fillet steak cooked medium rare, salmon fillet and a king prawn served with steamed vegetables and chips.
Both dishes were excellent, the steak cooked to our order, seasoned perfectly and very tasty – it’s just a shame that I could not finish mine.
The popularity of the place speaks volumes, as every table was occupied with feasting friends; from big groups of boys watching footie, couples and tourist families all tucking into food.
At least four tables near us ordered the Chateaubriand – so this is on the list for one of our next ventures up to Nabq, but first comes our Christmas Dinner booking.
The Three Crowns have built up a great reputation for putting on a lavish Christmas Dinner Brit Style. It has become so popular that the bar staff have been taking bookings from mid November.
The dinner is served from 2.30pm on 25th December and the celebrations continue all day long. It is not just about the fabulous food but also the fantastic festive atmosphere created by the décor, team, DJ etc.
This year’s theme is Black and White and it is an occasion to dress up as Andy the owner insists it’s a time to celebrate and out of respect for all the huge effort put in to provide such a feast no shorts or swimwear is allowed.
I mean back in Blighty you wouldn’t rock up to your Grandma’s in a pair of speedo’s so why would you here.
The menu consists of no less than five courses.
There is a choice of four starters with fish, meat, and vegetarian options, followed by a soup course (with two choices), followed by the main course where you can choose traditional Roast Turkey plus the trimmings, Beef Wellington, Grilled Salmon Fillet, or Roast Lamb Moroccan style.
The desert course has a choice of four dishes including Christmas pudding and the finale is the Cheeseboard with different types of cheese and a variety of crackers.
All of this for only 300le per person.
Bookings are essential and monies must be paid in advance, so to avoid disappointment pop in to the Three Crowns and put your name down.
