The Crown

The Crown is like a superhero, alternating between its different personas like a consummate crime-​fighting pro’. By day, this mild mannered pub serves good, honest pub food to a more genteel clientele. By night, the Crown dresses up into a thriving, bustling drinkers bar.
The food here is always pretty good, delivering what you would expect from most pub menus. I’m always tempted by their curry, whilst my husband can’t get enough of the burgers. The drinks tick the boxes too, even stocking some fairly unusual beers for a suburban boozer such as Blue Moon from the USA. Be warned though, the pub can get very busy when in it’s in drinking mode. On Friday and Saturday nights expect a queue at the bar. On some evenings it can feel like this place is the local for all of Four Oaks’ residents.
The diversity of the drinkers is sometimes astounding. Don’t be surprised to see groups celebrating an 18^th birthday, whilst another customer is turning 80 on the very same night. Like most heroes, the Crown is loved by the public who are reassured that it’s always there for them.

Another of Mitchell’s and Butler Ember chain mainly food driven but very popular with local drinkers. Friendly staff and comfortable décor if a bit in need of a luck of paint
