The Crown & Anchor Pub in Northampton

6 Victoria Rd, Northampton NN1 5ED

About This Pub

Ah, The Crown & Anchor – it's one of those pubs that really pulls you in with its welcoming feel and friendly faces behind the bar. From what I've gathered chatting about it, the staff are brilliant, always quick to serve and make you feel like part of the gang, which is just what you want on a night out. The atmosphere is spot on too, all clean and buzzing, with a decent pool table for a bit of friendly competition. It's perfect if you're up for an evening of laughs and good times. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses – the music can crank up a bit too loud past closing time, which has ruffled a few feathers in the neighbourhood, and I've heard tales of the management being a tad short when folks raise concerns. There was even a case where they didn't step up as much as they could have for someone in a spot of bother. Still, with an overall solid rating, it's worth a visit if you're in Northampton, just keep in mind it might be more lively than serene. All in all, it's a solid choice for a pint, as long as you go in with your eyes open to the ups and downs.

Some of the management responses to complaints come across as rude, which isn't the best way to handle things.
There have been instances where they've not been as helpful as you'd hope in a tricky situation, like assisting someone in need.

Regularly plays loud music past 11pm. I don’t know how the council haven’t taken their license off them yet. Management are rude saying “don’t live near a pub then” when asked to turn it down due to how late it is… how about don’t have a pub in a residential area then! Will have to keep reporting unless things change.

Nice and good place to spend an evening party. They have a good quality pool table

A great little bar that’s clean and welcoming with a great atmosphere. I just wish we had a bar here that’s well looked after and loved like the Crown and Anchor. Well done and thank you. Merry Christmas to you all.

All of the pubs in this town are relying on the public to overspend at your pub so the public keep your doors open ......however when a member of the public in distress comes to your pub asking to make a simple phone call to her husband so she can be picked up as she was in an area unfermilia to her and she was fightened after loosing her phone ........and the responce to her is NO WE DON'T HAVE A PHONE ......not a genuine public house as far as im concerned not one that deserves my money ......... as i know if you did help with this simple act of kindness ...my family would have gone for a meal and drinks at your pub to show our appreciation.......but we dont seem to live in that world anymore
