| The long standing previous owner here who retired some nine years ago, was in my opinion the rudest (and most hilariously droll) landlord in London. Forget the other famously rude one at the Coach And Horses. Gabbi was awful.Far worse. The bar stools were chained to the floor and you had to sign a little book to be given the key for the gents..... He would bar you for life for the smallest infringement of his 'rules' So, nearly a decade later I meet my old mate Covent Garden Dave here for a pint, only to discover that the tradition continues - infact has been bettered! What an arrogant old runt the present incumbent is. I think that they must do a finishing school especially for the staff at this establishment. PISS POOR BEER TOO......... AVOID THIS PUB. adrianboult - 13 Jun 2009 16:02 |
| I absolutely hated this little pub. The food was dispicable especially as I never ordered hairs with my food. The pub down the road from it...The Two Brewers was much better and the staff were friendly and kind but The Crown is not a great pub to have a drink in. They had real ales and fruit machines and such but this pub is definitely in the wrong part of London by far. MovingShadow - 2 Dec 2008 20:05 |
| It was just about open when I dropped in yesterday. The floor was till wet and smelled of disinfectant, presumably and hopefully as a result of having recently been washed. They weren’t doing food, possibly as a result of some building or maintenance work that was in progress. They had Adnam’s Bitter, Bombardier and GKIPA on handpump. This used to be a top notch pub – it might still be one on a good day, but it was hard to tell yesterday. Will give it another try sometime. RexRattus - 25 Sep 2008 17:45 |
| Unremarkable pub, with more customers standing around outside having a smoke than sitting down inside. The barstaff seemingly have a very limited grasp of what constitutes a full pint - every single pint of draught bitter I saw poured was well under measure, and lager drinkers only got a full glass if the barperson was too busy talking to flick the tap back up overly quickly. However, actually had quite a reasonable pint of Duchy Originals Organic Bitter on draught (which I had only ever seen in bottled form before) once I explained the concept of 'topping up' for the third time to a very unhappy-looking East European barman. rpadam - 11 Sep 2008 21:18 |
| Cramped and smelly with dodgy beer. Even when I switched to Guinness it still tasted rather odd. Another poor Covent Garden pub. mrse1 - 27 Jun 2008 13:39 |
