Superb Drinks at The Crown

Drinking – we take it seriously

Five years after saving The Crown from developers wanting to convert it to apartments Daniel and Tracy Prince have put this Country Freehouse firmly back on the Real Ale drinker’s map.

We have eight cask ales on the bar from the micro brewers across the country. We maintain a continuous rotation of well-renowned and new and experimental beers from as many Micro-Breweries as we can find! We have an extensive wine list and a comprehensive beer menu. Plus a range of premium spirits and soft drinks. Look out for our Special Beer Weekends promotions available by registering for our Newsletter, and check for new beers in the Drinks section

The Crown has now won 6 awards from CAMRA recognising the quality and variety of real ale on offer. Championing the craft of the countries micro breweries, the relentless pursuit of new beers and breweries means the Crown now features up 16 different beers per week. Over 3000 different beers have been sold each personally sampled by Daniel to ensure they are in excellent condition.

There are now 8 handpulls on the Bar with a wide range of styles and strengths. There’ll always be two handpulls dedicated to followers of dark ales, and one with an extreme beer (5.5%ABV+). Our current house bitter is brewed by Dave Facer at Facers Brewery – it’s a cracking pale ale brewed exclusively for us called ‘Northern County’  We also keep one or two Scrumpy ciders on at all times.

And that doesn’t even touch on our range of 40 different bottled beers from around the world. And there’s several members of staff happy to guide you through all the beers – and even offer suggestions of which beers go with which foods. Click on the Drink section of the website to read more – and read the list of current beers in our cellar or on order. Oh, and we also have a range of 30 wines, with all but the bubbly and two premiums available by the glass?

As Dan likes to say ‘I am a Beer God. And you are in Beer heaven!’
