About This Pub
Ah, The Crown – it's one of those classic pubs that really captures that nostalgic British vibe, isn't it? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the place is full of lovely people, both the regulars and the team behind the bar, making it a great spot for a casual catch-up over a pint. The beer selection stands out, especially if you're a fan of something like Stella, and it's wonderfully cosy and welcoming to dogs, which is always a plus for us animal lovers. They're even working on expanding the menu, so if you're into simple, no-fuss food like a cheese board, it's worth keeping an eye on. On the downside, though, there have been a few tales of the landlord not being the friendliest, which could put a dampener on your visit, and the decor does feel a bit tired and in need of a spruce-up. Overall, it's a solid choice for a laid-back evening if you're local or passing through, but I'd say go in with an open mind – the good bits make it endearing, while the not-so-great ones remind you it's not without its flaws. Fancy giving it a try sometime?

Cheese board on point just been re opened so full menu coming next month can't wait
Basic but decent food. Nice cosy pub, dog friendly
Stella at its finest., who needs the other David? He's at the Crown Houghton Regis
This place is a bit dated and could do with a refurb, I believe mostly locals who probably live nearby when I attended to listen to a band called Harripaul, who were excellent. Although quite a small place it had a nice friendly atmosphere. Didn't eat there. I only had drinks.
Rather biased review as the landlord is a good friend and iv worked there previously. Lovely old school pub, lovely people, regulars and staff alike. Shame the breweries and government are making it difficult to stay open. Great pub, great drink, great staff and customers.
