Since the last review the City Pub Group who were the owners have sold the pub to Youngs, and it has undergone a decent Youngs corporate make over. The slightly insipid turtle shell blue interior is now gone and been replaced with an all clean wooden floors and wood panelled walls with the front section still operating as the main bar and the area to the right now very much a dining area. The former open plan kitchen is now hidden behind a brick wall except for an aluminium serving counter.
Three handpumps on the bar with two dispensing Youngs Original and the third was badged with Five Points Pale. This was sadly off, despite the clip not being reversed, so Youngs Original it was.
Its an alright pub for a spot of lunch with a decent kept ale, which is what we used it for, but as soon as we were finished, it was over to the Old Fountain for something a bit more exciting.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Three Crowns
Traditional-looking ex-Barclays corner pub featuring green tilework at ground-floor level with bold decorative lettering and the name on the pediment. However, although four storeys high, it is dwarfed by towering modern blocks on both sides. The interior comprises three distinct parts (all modernised but still semi-traditional in appearance): the bar in the original building, the dining area underneath on of the blocks, and the central section which has some much needed natural light coming down through a couple of rooflights. Landlord and Tribute (£5.40) available from two of the three handpumps, with a reversed Siren clip on the other one.

The nicely green tiled exterior gives way to a modernised single room , bare boarded floor with a mix of high and low seating. Three handpumps were offering up Landlord, Tribute and Cloudwater Happy, there was at the time a Cloudwater tap takeover on keg. It's an ok pub but there's no particular pull to go back with a couple of destination pubs nearby.
