A familiar name behind the bar.

We’re proud to serve Brakspear at The Crown.

With a brewing heritage stretching back centuries and a long-standing connection to pubs across the South, it’s a b**r that feels right at home in a proper pub setting.

From a quiet pint to a table full of friends, there’s usually a Brakspear waiting at the bar.
