| If you are rambling in the area then you must make this pub a waypoint on your route. My intial impressions from the reviews was that it would be a bit hit or miss - I couldn't have been more wrong. The Crown Inn is small pub with a warm welcoming atmosphere. The landlord and staff were really friendly and the beer and food excellent. I am suprised this pub isn't rated higher and I urge all those that read this site to comment on the pub more favourably - In short our stop off for lunch made our walk truly memorable.

| This pub has been completely made over, it's now a gastro pub/restaurant - the lounge area has leather settees and there are now dining areas with glasses and napkins at the ready. The toilets have been modernised - well done, but although the landlord believed that the overall character had been retained and everywhere is now clean and no longer interestingly shabby shabby (there's still exposed beams and fireplace)there was hardly anyone there when I visited midweek, although passing by on a Saturday some time later there appeared to be a crowd preparing for a wedding. Not a typical village pub anymore. The beer was fine but I can't remember what it was. Feed - 27 Sep 2008 20:48 |
| a fantastic welcome is guaranteed in this local drinking hole. I have to agree with 'anonymous' that The Crown should be left as it is with its rustic charm. The ales on tap were 6x and ringwood but were both served too cold. Although not the best pint, the welcome and atmosphere make the pub well worth visiting if you are in the area. mr_lunch - 15 Aug 2005 12:23 |
| I quite agree, I visited it today - and a most welcome Sunday afternoon awaited it proved to be. On a main road, yet rural and rustic. Don't refurb and don't repaint. It's excellent. There is more 'horse and hound' than 'crown' about it - and that's good!! anonymous - 3 Apr 2005 18:27 |
| This is a basic locals pub with a rough and ready feel. It needs a refurb and a lick of paint. However Mine Hosts(Tim & Rose) are extremely welcoming to strangers, including hikers, kids and dogs. They've got some real ales, bar meals and lovely open fires in Winter. If you want a warm welcome and don't mind it a bit scruffy you won't find a better pub. And it's not part of a silly pub chain !! A new resident of Kings Somborne - 12 Feb 2004 20:35 |
