About This Pub
Ah, the Crown & Shuttle – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a second home, you know? From the moment you step in, you're greeted by that cosy, traditional vibe with open log fires crackling away, making it perfect for a catch-up with mates on a damp evening. The staff are an absolute delight, always friendly and on point, which really adds to the community feel – it's easy to strike up a chat and feel right at ease. Their JW Lees cask ales are spot on, and if you're into live music or events, it's a brilliant little venue for catching up-and-coming bands or just enjoying the buzz. Weekends bring home-cooked food like a hearty Sunday roast, which is just the ticket if you're peckish, and being dog-friendly means you can bring the whole family along. On the flip side, the opening times can be a tad confusing, so it's best to check ahead, and it's got that classic old-school charm that might not appeal if you're after something more contemporary. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed night out, with plenty of positives that outweigh the minor niggles – I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area.
