Will Larter left this review about Crown & Anchor

I'm going to sound like a record where the needle has stuck in a groove, as this is a beautiful thatched building with a half-timbered appearance, one that would grace any small town, but once inside the door we could be in any crap pub in any commercial centre in the country. The two previous reviews describe my reactions on entering almost exactly - except that now there are no cask ales, just eight keg taps selling national or international brands. My instinct was to turn around and walk out, but in the interest of research I asked for a half of lager, and plumped for Cruzcampo. What a sad excuse for a drink this is, cold and gassy, with no discernable flavour whatsoever. Luckily I'd only bought a half, and only drank half of that before giving up and moving on, an experience that set me back £2.65.

Oh dear. From the outside it does indeed look like a good traditional boozer. Inside is just not in keeping with what you would expect. While its not too bad a place it is just... a disappointment. One real ale on.

The Crown and Anchor is a nice looking pub from the outside with a thatched roof.
Once inside the pub has been done up to within an inch of it life,the front left looks really bad with lots of battleship grey in evedence,plus tall tables and chairs and american diner type seating,the front right looks a bit better with leather bench seating.
There is a large island bar,the rear area looks slightly better than the front with a couple of TVs showing Sky Sports,the seting in this area was comfy bench type and normal tables and chairs,but the battleship grey was still here.
There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Castle Rock Harvest Pale which was just on the turn but drinkable,the other beer was London Pride.
There was some very good background music playing.
The pub was empty on my dinnertime visit,which was surprising as Stone was packed at the time of my visit with shoppers.

The pub was being re thatched at the time of my visit which spoilt my photo.
