Crown Inn, Hebden Bridge

The Crown Inn is a decent looking stone built pub that is in the middle of Hebden Bridge. Once inside there is a large square shaped room with the bar facing,the floor is part carpeted and bare boarded,there are tall tables and chairs near the bar and bench seating and and chairs elsewhere. There were four real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Taylor Landlord which was a decent drink,the other beers were Adnams Ghost Ship,Jennings Cumberland and Courage Directors. There is darts board to the left and the TV to the left was showing motor bike racing. I was happy enough having a drink in here and also to get out of the heavy rain. Pub visited 3/9/2016

Reopened after the winter floods, the water reached over the counter apparantly, perhaps surprisingly open as it's slightly sub-terrainian. Four hand pumps dispense national cask brands from Adnams and Greene King plus locals Moorhouses and a Wiltshire visitor from Wadworths although not 6X. It tries to be ethnic and interesting in its decor, lots of African art, mainly paintings and carved animals. One corner has bamboo furniture and ferns, the entrance stairs are lined with velvet rope. The floor is part carpet, part laminate with flags by the counter, not very flood resistant. The place is coming back from the floods, some of the old furniture is stacked in the Gents, so it would be churlish to be too harsh. The staff were a bit inept and the beer fairly poor but at least it's open.
