The Old Crown Inn, Dursley

A cracking village pub in a pretty village surrounded by beautiful countryside. The Old Crown is made up of 3 areas, the bar which is to the right as you enter, a smart seating area to the left of the entrance with a wooden floor and wood burner and beyond the bar a small games room with dartboard. The bar area is standing only and is cosy enough to encourage conversation with the friendly locals who take a keen interest in beer and rugby and may include the local brewer of Uley Ales. Food is standard pub fare but in our experience is fresh and well done. Beer: Six handpumps dispense predominantly local ales which included 2 from Uley, Pigs Ear and Premium Bitter, 2 from Wye Valley, Butcombe Best and RCH Pitchfork. Having been recommended the Pigs Ear by its brewer none of the other ales got a look in and I'd wholly recommend giving this quality ale a try. An excellent village boozer in a lovely part of the world and well worth seeking out.
