The Crown Inn, Puncknowle

I think most locals like myself would agree that the new management has transformed the atmosphere of The Crown. It is now hospitable and congenial and, after an absence of many months, I am happy to return.
Just one quibble, however, and this comes from several regulars; the standard of the draught beers is not always as it should be. Those of us who regularly drink Palmers are very familiar with its quality and occasionally the Best Bitter and 200 in The Crown is not all that it should be. I have had pints of both which were cloudy and/or sour. Ends of barrels/dirty pipes, possibly but this needs to be corrected or all the goodwill and support generated by the new managers will dwindle if the beer isn't right.
