Traditional decor is the order of the day here giving a pleasing environment in which to sit; it has several nooks and crannies which give the impression of there being separate bars. There are settles, and upholstered chairs, a couple of TV screens (covered by pictures when not in use), and a pleasant seating area outside at the back, This area has TV too. The tiled floors, Victorian fireplace, and wood panelling add to the Olde Worlde charm. Adding to that comfort, the fire will be lit as the weather grows colder. There are also a few benches out front for an alfresco pint. Former owners, Greenalls dubbed this the Famous Crown.

Historic Interest

Closed 20/9/2020 awaiting new licensee. Re-opened 1/10/2022. Former Greenalls house.
