Cheers to the New Crown pub
Meanwhile up the coast in marked contrast, the New Crown, has been given another new look after its new owners spent a six-figure sum on refurbishing the seaside watering hole where, as it happens, one has been supping ale on occasion since a teenager in the sixties when you entered the building via a revolving door. (T’was said at the time that a couple who had once met there had been going round together ever since.) Ho ho ho!
Anyway with its latest revamp one thinks it’s the best the ‘Crown’ has looked in years but pity it’s still got just the one pool table!
