Famous Crown
FoodA traditional Victorian pub with wood panelling, settles, tiled floors and a real fire. It has plenty of nooks and corners, so it feels like several small bars. Locals still call it The Crown.
Good to know
- Lots of small spaces, so a big group may end up split across a couple of corners.
- Benches out front for warm days.
