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.

Three rooms and a garden, one welcome
The bar, the restaurant, the snug, the garden.
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. Pick where to sit, or let us pick for you.

Warm light stone walls and panelling, light wood tones and antique brass. A real fire in the cold months of the year.

Music at The Crown - End of Summer
We see out the summer with live music at The Crown. Fine Young Cuddingtons play, and everyone is welcome.
We are not serving food at the moment while essential building work is carried out on the kitchen extraction system. The bar is open as usual for local ales, wines and spirits, and we will let you know as soon as we are serving again.
So excited to visit the Crown last night & it didn’t disappoint! It’s just fabulous. Thank you to absolutely everyone involved, what an achievement!

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.
