The Crown Inn, Rugeley

Recently refurbished to an exceptional standard, the new owners have still retained its many impressive historic features, whilst introducing a contemporary twist. Wonderfully relaxed and welcoming, you’ll find a cosy bar with wood burning open fire for the winter, real ales and outstanding food, overseen by a lovely landlady called Tracey. We sat in the beer garden and eat a great Sunday lunch, Abbot Ale was the guest which when down well, for 4 of us it cost less then £30. If you are cruising this part of the canal it’s a great place to stop now it’s been saved from closure
