The Crown

The Crown sits on Brewer Street, which was built in the 1670s and whose present name commemorates the breweries that once existed on the north side of the street in the 18th century. The pub itself stands on the site of the Hickford Rooms, which were the main concert halls of the 1740s and 1750s, and where a nine year old Mozart once gave a recital in 1765. It was also popular amongst American Airmen during the Second World War. The regulars may have changed over the years, but the outstanding ale served here hasn't.

Pie House

Pies are a great British tradition we are proud to honour. We source ours from traditional master pie makers, Dunkley's of Northamptonshire.
