The Chairman left this review about The Crown Hotel

No real change from previous visits, but the beer choice was just Woodforde's Wherry. That was OK but not exciting enough to cause me to tarry.

A nice, comfortable and spacious hotel bar on the Buttlands. Unfortunately, the beer choice has gone downhill a bit and when I visited in November the only ale on offer was Greene King IPA at £4.95 a pint.

Upmarket hotel/restaurant/bar located at the end of the Buttlands (a sort of village green and not called Butt Cracks as my son insisted).

As you enter, there is a central corridor. Lounges to the left were for hotel guests only, whilst there were 3 rooms for drinkers (and possibly diners) to the right-hand side. The corridor continued down past a tiny lounge room on the right-hand side and toilets on the left to a more formal dining room.

The bar serves 2 of the 3 rooms to the right-hand side of the building. Bar staff were busy pulling through one of their 2 real ales (Wherry & Norfolk Topper) when we arrived.

We did consider eating here, but £30 for a steak or £23 for a piece of pork was somewhat more than I was willing to pay for a meal. Drinks prices alone almost require a mortgage.

We appear to be creating more of a two tier society in this country. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see how the other half live.
