Blackthorn _ left this review about The Crown Inn

A traditional old boozer located just off the main town square. It’s located in the middle of what seems to be a row of terraced cottages, so I was surprised to hear that were open until 2:00am. They must have very tolerant neighbours! It was a very friendly establishment, with most of the locals being greeted by name.

We were in there somewhat earlier than that on a Friday evening, and it was very quiet, just a few old boys having an animated game of dominoes. The friendly landlady assured us that it livened up later on though.

The front bar is a basic setup with red velvet bench seating around the perimeter and plenty of local drawings on the wall and photo’s from various pub activities. An old table skittles game also features prominently in the middle of the bar and there was a lovely big old fire which the landlady was helpfully keeping topped up with logs. The rear bar looks to be somewhat bigger and had a pool table and small TV.

Beers on tap were Glastonbury’s Leyline and Doom Bar. Ciders were Thatcher’s Gold and Thatcher’s Traditional.
