Crown Lodge Hotel History

1975: The business purchased by the present and then young owner of 25 was known as Crown Service Station (Outwell) Ltd. The restaurant and conference rooms were the car showroom, the sign and garden area at the front was the site for six petrol pumps, bedrooms 1- 6 was a wooden transport café and bedrooms 7-10 was a small bungalow for the owner/operator at the time. The

garage workshops of that time, situated at the rear of the site, still operate carrying out MOT’s and servicing and are part of the same company as Crown Lodge Hotel.

1978: Squash courts were built and a bar and restaurant were developed in the showroom. At the time squash was a booming sport (Still is!) and the club was quickly established.

1988: Bedrooms 1-6 was built where the old cafe was.

1990: The bungalow was converted into bedrooms 7-10 and they were linked to rooms 1-6.

2005: MAJOR alterations were made! It included not
just a new look but also created a brand
new kitchen, a climate control and
ventilation system throughout the public
areas, free WIFI, and a computerized
system linking bar, restaurant, kitchen and
reception to each other.

Saturdays are just better, especially when the suns out! 🌞

Saturday means Afternoon Tea! Is there anything more British than a freshly made sandwich cut in to perfect delicate fingers? Why do they taste better cut like that and when someone else makes them? 

Our Chef's love Saturdays because they can great creative with the very best seasonal and local ingredients, creating our afternoon tea menu fresh on the day! We always hope they make extra of those freshly baked scones! 

The bar is ready, cool, aircon on and yes Jake is serving all day, we thought it was time after posing for our bar photos! Cold beers, fruity soft drinks and Classic Pimms in the garden 🍓

Lunch is served from 12pm, our Al a carte menu and our light lunch menu is available with summer salads and jackets potatoes. No sad, soggy jackets here, fluffy, crisp, generously buttered and full of fillings!

We can’t think of a better excuse for a cheeky midweek treat with friends, a catch up, or simply a well-earned pint after work !

And because we’re so excited about the new line up… the FIRST PINT of each new beer poured tomorrow is on us! 🥳

It’s not saying we should skip work and have a fancy date night with different wines chosen specifically for each course, but I'm also not, NOT saying that!

It’s our favourite day of the week!

Sundays at The Crown aren’t rushed who enjoys a rushed Sunday! They’re relaxed, of course tasty, and just a little bit indulgent.

The smell of home cooked roasts coming from the kitchen…
Crispy potatoes, rich roasted gravy, perfectly cooked seasonal vegetables because who likes seriously overcooked veg?!
Just how Sundays should be.. time with friends and family, not in the kitchen.

And today… something delicious.
A brand new dessert from our chef Steve, Pear & Brandy Syllabub. Perfectly light, silky, and just the right amount of indulgence to finish things off. Perfect for this weather!

Our beer garden is ready, the sun is shining and whether it’s a long lunch with family and grandkids, a relaxed glass of wine & catch up with friends, or just an excuse not to cook, we are ready for you.
We’ve got tables available in the restaurant and out in the garden today.
Call now to reserve your table we’re looking forward to seeing you!
