Old Boots left this review about Crown & Anchor
A while since I’ve been in but it’s pretty much as Graham describes.
Main bar with the counter has five pulls, today offering Black Sheep Bitter, Theakstons Best Bitter, Bradfield Farmers, Butcombe Gold and Helmsley Platinum; there are eight solos of nationwide fav’s.
Lots of entertainment with screens, darts, and a pool table. It has pump clip décor at one end by the pool table and horse racing related pictures and memorabilia elsewhere. Beer quality very was good and certainly worth the trot out from the generally rubbish pubs in Thirsk.

A nicely modernised local in an old building in a twee tree-lined suburb of Thirsk. One side for dining, with pool and darts the other, plus a couple of sports TVs. Lots of pump clips on the walls, so it looks as though normal service has been restored. Ales on were Bradfield Farmers Blonde, Lancaster Blonde, Purity Mad Goose, Theakstons Best and Tetleys Original. My only grumble is that a darker beer would have been nice, but otherwise a good pub.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Crown & Anchor
The Crown & Anchor is located to the south of Thirsk in the adjoining village of Sowerby. It was busy both inside and out on our late Sunday lunchtime visit. Many were dining, but a few were drinking only.
The real ale selection has gone downhill since the last review. Nowadays, they only serve 2 real ales. These were Theakston Best & Ossett Yorkshire Blonde. There is no real cider.
We were amused by the orderly queuing system for the bar, with distances marked out to ensure separation. It has clearly been quite regimented here during the plague.
Otherwise, this is a cosy local that is not really worth the trip out of Thirsk to visit.
