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 400 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.

The bar, the restaurant, the snug.

From light stone and brass at the front to a deep olive snug at the back, the same welcome runs through all three. Pick where to sit, or let us pick for you.

Food, served quietly well.

Crown classics, seasonal specials and lighter lunches, with a carefully chosen range of local ales, wines and spirits. Eat in the bar, the restaurant, or out in the garden.
