WHAT'S IT LIKE?

An inn has stood at the junction of Highworth Road and Ermin Street for the best part of 250 years.

The original building was sold for £60 in 1767 when it was called The Sow and Piggs. It became the Crown in 1792.

Forty years later a new building replaced the old one, complete with the impressive arch, courtyard and stable block - typical of coaching inns at this time.

Arkells's bought the building in 1868.

With the exception of the Tudor and Forge dining areas each of the inn’s rooms has been named after an element or stage of the brewing process.

WHO GOES THERE?

With a bar and cosy restaurant serving a traditional menu of home-cooked dishes, the friendly pub is a family favourite.

Thanks to a major refurbishment, The Crown has come full circle, returning to its former function as an inn offering businessmen and women or travellers a comfortable room for the night.
