Our story
Saved by the village, kept by the village.
The Crown has been at the heart of village life in Cuddington for more than three centuries. When our historic pub faced an uncertain future, the community refused to let it be lost, raising £660,000 to secure its future.
It now belongs to more than 200 shareholders through a Community Benefit Society, and to everyone who walks through the door. We are not owned by a brewery or a distant company. We are a free house, and we are its custodians.
Pledged by residents, friends and supporters to save the pub.

Great food is back at The Crown.
We are delighted to announce that our kitchen is up and running again and to welcome our new chef, Nick Henderson.
There is something to enjoy throughout the week, including freshly made pizzas every Tuesday, our Wednesday Lunch Club, a changing weekly menu and a traditional Sunday roast. To reserve a table click here, or please call 01844 886007.
From light stone and brass at the front to a deep olive snug at the back, and tables out under the sky, the same welcome runs through all four. Sit where you like, or ask and we will point you to the right one.

Came across this lovely, beautifully restored pub today. It looked so inviting we stopped for a quick drink, having not intended to. It’s been very handsomely renovated and has a pretty, flower filled garden. Extremely friendly staff and an all round tip top visit.
