The Crown, Bacup

I've been going in The Crown for about 10 years and it was a little gem. One of the few pubs in Bacup where you could go and enjoy a drink with friends, without feeling that a fight was going to break out any minute. Alot of that was down to Trevor, a previous landlord who like Basil Fawlty kept the riff-raff out. The younger clientele who went in were well behaved.
Unfortunately the current landlady seems to have let all that lapse. When I went in last week it was full of very rowdy youths and much of the atmosphere has gone.
If you go in on a quiet night it can still be very nice and the food and beer is excellent. It's just a shame the current owners have let it go downhill.
