This is a restaurant, where drinking alcohol, including draught and bottled beer, is only allowed when food is being consumed.

Licensed restaurant with no real ale.

Re-opened in 2025 after extensive refurbishment as an Italian Restaurant after several years of closure. Originally the Crown, a Robinsons pub, then the Saxon Grill at the Crown in 2013 (pub and restaurant). No real ale, purely a licensed restaurant.

Origins 17C, but much altered, and re-fronted circa 1910. Roughcast; 2 storeys; projecting bay extending over ground storey with modern inn windows and tiled roof; projecting gabled bay at centre. Exposed timber framed gable at rear with painted brick noggin, and 2 early 19C casement windows. Old town pub, nearest pub to the Saxon crosses. Refurbished internally March 2013. All internal features completely replaced in 2025 and a rear single storey extension, added.

Historic Interest

Grade II listed [1976]. Historic England list entry 1330405
