The Crown Inn, Bridgwater

A backstreet boozer on the corner of a Victorian terrace, this pub has recently re-opened after a prolonged period of closure and trouble. It consists of a single bar formed from knocking through the two front rooms, and a small garden at the back. There is a pool table, dartboard, tv screen over a hamstone fireplace, a jukebox and various gaming machines. The landlord was friendly enough, but I wouldn't want to upset him, while the locals seemed like an average bunch. Three handpumps on the bar, but only one in service, dispensing Doombar which was in drinkable condition but could have been better kept. I might drop in for a pint some time, especially given its location near the station, but it's not really a destination of choice and the beer precludes inclusion on a crawl. It also doesn't open lunchtimes in the week.
