A traditional and welcoming two bar village community pub which was also the brewery tap for the local Thurston’s brewery until iits closure in 2026. The Crown is the local CAMRA Pub of the Year 2026. The focus of the pub is on serving great beer to their enthusiastic and loyal customer base. There are six hand pumps, serving locally brewed ales such as those from Surrey Hills. Antoinette runs the pub with the help of her partner John and a very knowledgeable and experienced team.

There has been a pub on this same site since 1785 and probably back to 1613, the pub we see today was rebuilt in 1877 after a fire in the thatched roof destroyed the original pub. To the rear of the Crown is the car park and beyond that a very attractive enclosed garden which includes two pétanque terrains. Another outside drinking area to the side of the pub looks across to the village gardens. There are quiz nights every Wednesday, an ale festival in June each year and selected sporting events, especially Six Nations games, may be shown.
