| This pub is alive and well, with 2 guest beers as well as the McMullens AK and Country. Sky Sports still shown, well worth a visit if in the area. oftenscore6 - 21 Aug 2011 19:56 |
| Friendly welcome as my friend and I opened our "memory lane" crawl last night. He has learning difficulties, and the lady behind the bar (and the local with the sun tan - more about HIM later) were very easy going around him. The sun-tanned local was a humorous chap who cheekily claimed to be "catching up with me" while I was buying a round of McMullen's AK which was perfectly well-kept and a refreshing quench following the walk up from Waltham Cross in the warm evening sun. We sat in the beer garden which remains unchanged since our last visit and it was very peaceful and relaxing. Food is only served at lunchtime so we ate in another McMullens pub up the road later on. But I could not help notice the hunger-inducing aromas of curry that waft over the beer garden from the Indian restaurant next door. I spotted a piano, but as we were on a crawl with another 3 or 4 pubs on our list did not examine its functionality. I wonder on hindsight if it is the instrument that had been removed from the Welsh Harp? This is a pub run with the "will to live" despite quiet times. Whenever you visit Waltham Abbey DO make a point of visiting the Crown. It is a traditional pub that should be preserved, along with ALL the pubs along Sun Street. lad_newton - 24 Jul 2008 00:59 |
| Good Staff, But the Landlord sat just round the corner, he thought out of site, having a fag, picking his nose, Disgusting!!!!! anonymous - 22 Jun 2007 14:45 |
| I am some what disappointed by some of the comments made below. After drinking in the Crown for 17+ years & working there for a number of those on a part time basis under various managers, I can hand on heart say that those who have made these scathing remarks still to this day frequent the pub when there is football on & also continue to make an incredible mess. Just as they did when I was behind the bar! How hard can it be to bring an empty glass back when requiring further refreshments? It certainly helps the staff out when it’s busy. As for moving the furniture around! Put it back where you found it when you leave! There is nothing wrong with the current manager. He is very polite, friendly & has a great sense of humour, but it is very dry, so be warned. Snow_man - 28 Feb 2007 14:40 |
| Yes Sally is still there as is Dot. They are both part of the furniture. I have been (was) a regular for 6 years until recently, the landlord overstepped the mark more than I was prepared to accept. I'm disappointed but if rude, surly cusotmer service and an obsession regarding returning your empties (which I thought was the bar staff's job?!) or mvoing chairs is a warm welcome he can keep it I get the impression he doesn't want the custom of his regulars unless they are over fifty. And he is there to run this pub into the ground prior to it being sold for housing. anonymous - 8 Jan 2007 11:37 |
