The Crown is more than a pub - it is the people who run it, care for it and saved it. From the welcome at the door to the food from the kitchen, here are the faces behind your visit.
Abi Armstrong is the new manager of The Crown, bringing her wealth of experience and local connections to our beloved community pub. Having successfully managed The King’s Head and The Whistler in Haddenham, Abi is well-equipped to lead us to new heights. She and her family will be making Cuddington their home, and we are thrilled to welcome them to the neighbourhood.

Nick joins us after several years as an agency chef in restaurants across Central London and the Home Counties, most recently The Grove in Watford. He impressed the team with his starters and mains during selection, and brings a love of well-made pub classics. Our thanks to Abi for introducing him.
A committee of volunteers steers The Crown on behalf of its community of shareholders, safeguarding the pub for generations to come.
We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the huge team of volunteers who gave their time, energy and skill to make it possible to reopen The Crown for the summer. From clearing and cleaning to painting, planting and everything in between - this pub is open because of you. Thank you, one and all.
The Crown belongs to the people who saved it. 200+ local shareholders invested to secure its future, raising £660,000 in just six weeks. To every investor who believed in this pub - thank you for making it possible.
