Old Crown Inn

My first English pub experience was at the Old Crown Inn, and it did not disappoint! Everything from the atmosphere, the food, and the price fit my perfect fantasy of a local English pub experience. A few elderly chaps in the corner, a couple with their little dog next to their table, and lots of local flair!
After a hike through the countryside, my sister-​in-​law and I stopped here for some post-​hiking sustenance around lunch. This 17^th century rustic, cottage-​style lodge serves ale, hard cider, and some down-​home English country soul food! I shared a bacon and brie sandwich, added a little ketchup, and OMG! My taste buds were very merry, indeed. Top it all off with a pint of dry English cider.
This pub has a gorgeous authenticity about it, with its cracked stone walls and cozy «wood and wine» color theme. It’s full of some serious character! Seating is limited, so you might want to call ahead to check if they are busy. And their website lets you know what local ales are currently being offered on tap. This is a real hidden gem, Dursley! Thanks for making this silly American girl very happy.

A true British pub, something to be really proud of!
The Old Crown is exactly what a good traditional pub should be. they serve fantastic local ales from the Uley brewery less than a mile down the road and they occasionally have guest ales on tap… my mouth is watering thinking about it!
The atmosphere is exactly what you expect from a village pub, the pub staff and the customers are friendly and welcoming, there’s a real sense of community here but if you walk in as an outsider, you become part of it by the time you finish your first pint.
Good but simple food is served at lunch and in the evening, don’t expect fancy gastro-​pub food, this place is keeping it real, still serving up proper pub grub. Gotta love it!
