The Old Crown

Popped in on my own for Sunday dinner an ordered the beef. What a treat, proper sirloin with a lovely flavoured crust! Roast potatoes cooked to perfection with red cabbage, green cabbage, carrot and peas and obviously Yorkshire pudding!! One of the best roasts I’ve ever had and I’ve had a good few! Friendly service and good value in a historic pub! What more could you want on a Sunday afternoon!!

Sadly like so many pubs these days there’s just too much that goes unchecked. Not sure if it’s a culture issue in each venue or just a lack of leadership or what but there absolutely zero point in advertising and selling yourselves as a premier establishment with historical significance and paying left right and centre for bands / performers and the like if you’ve not got the very very basics right. The ladies toilets were shocking Saturday, no toilet roll in any of them and the hand dryer is broke. It’s such a basic thing to do. I’ve got nye tickets booked and we decided from this experience and the overall moody vibe out the back that we’re not going to bother

Such a nice place , beer was nice and reasonably priced. They have a nice outdoor area too and in a good location from the city centre 😊
