The Crown, Shoreham

I was fortunate enough to visit the Crown this weekend and find that it was the first full day under new management.
Upon walking in you could feel that it had been given some TLC with a small but tasteful redecoration and had a real family atmosphere.
I had a wonderful pint of Harvey's in the public bar which had a real "Lad's feel" with dartboard and a strong alliance to the great Seve Ballesteros with a wonderful picture of him above the bar.
After walking 3 miles with my wife we decided that the smell of the Sunday roast was too good to resist so we had to indulge and thank god we did. There are too many chain pubs these days where the emphasis is to churn out an average plate of food, but here at The Crown you could tell that real effort had been put into it. Home made Yorkshire puddings, tender Pork and wonderfully fluffy roast potatoes, it was one of the nicest meals I ever endured in a pub.
I would not hesitate to come back to this pub again, and I'm already looking forward to this Sunday.
