The Crown Inn, Puncknowle

Just wanted to review this pub from a 'local's' viewpoint.

A few months ago, this pub was a morgue. The landlord was unfriendly, rude and completely unwelcoming, particularly if you are a family group, which we are, and in fact a demographic that makes up a large part of the village population. We therefore rarely used this pub .
The new landlady and her team are the polar opposite. It is now a friendly place, we always get a welcome, and so do our children. It is great to go to this pub now and be able to socialise with other members of the village that we wouldn't usually meet. The addition of the large sofas are great, as they are perfect for meeting with friends for an afternoon tea and a chat, especially during the daytime. There is plenty of room in other areas of the pub for dining tables. I would definitely recommend the tapas platters for food, and the monthly quiz nights are really fun.
