Went here on 18th July. First visit but not the last. Lovely pint of Youngs. Just like the pint you used to drink in pubs near the old brewery in Wandsworth. Variety of nationalities behind the bar but all tried hard to please. Even Zara came across to see if everything was okay - and she is the landlord's labrador! Chips were first class (unlike the soggy mess the Anchor served up further down river)- It was worth going to the pub for the chips alone. To be honest I did not check on the prices as I used a tab but the overall bill was reasonable. Great beer garden - when the weather is hotter! And, no. I have no connection with this pub!!

£3.45 a pint for Hogsback TEA?????

Not a bad place apart from the 1 of the 2 barmaids from the Eu thinking she was serving in a soup kitchen. You do get some of the regulars talking boats abit too much.

A nice old interior consisting of three bars, with a bustling atmosphere.
Three handpulls on our visit (only one ale of note though, Hepworths Prospect) which were in fair condition.
Highlight was having it served in a thick handled glass that was class and will ensure I come back!

Halfway decent pub. Good food, fires, well kept beers. Love the outside seating area by the river. There are usually a few regulars in who have some rather quaint ways, but don't let this put you off. Take a walk along the tow-path when you've done in here.

Stopped here for Sunday lunch in a group of over thirty people and they coped magnificently. Excellent beer and the food was both good and good value (chips a funny colour, though!). Nice interior and location.
|
this pub is very well run and the beer is kept to perfection. the food is very good quality and size. the smoke free conservitory is fantastic for families and the outside garden areas great in the summer!
well worth a look and it will become your local in no time!!!!!!

Looked a bit dodgy for starters, but quite allright! The only thing that pests me is the drunken old fellas at the bar - dugged into their seats and look like the dead has already taken them to a near bed of smoke and garden of beer...
|
Nice, quaint, slightly smoky in the main bar.
|
Nice to find a pub that opens before 11:00 am and serving good beer when your tongue is dragging on the ground.

Mark and Yvonne run this excellent friendly pub with great staff. Food is of the highest standard the cellar is kept to the highest standard and without a doubt The Old Crown has kept its place as one of the best old pubs in Surrey. A non smoking dining conservatory, plus a long bar and the main bar are well attended every day of the week. Contrary to one comment on this site. the small snug is not full of sherry drinkers and WI members, but is where the "elite " long time regulars do their best to put the world to rights??

I must check out the womens institute bar!
Beer very expensive, but well kept. Service not always with a smile

I agree with the last comment it is a very nice pub and the real ale was good. But £2.70 for a pint of bitter is a bit over the top.

A nice, proper local, but expensive.There is a beer garden round the back.

The Old Crown is a very traditional old weather-boarded pub down near the river. This three bar pub has a strong local following with several of the regulars appearing to live here - well in the bar at least! This is understandable for the hosts are very accomodating and do their up most at making you feel welcome. The beer prices unfortunately are typical of Weybridge, however the real ales are kept to a very high standard indeed.
The pub has a restaurant area where excellent home cooked food is served at lunchtime and evening. Our favourite spot is the public bar - this is a real drinkers area with planked ceilings and a long bar with stools. There is a third bar around the back - this area is usually reserved for the womens institute, sherry drinkers or something like that from our observations.
