A 16th-century free house in Old Oxted, Surrey.
Cross the county line from Kent along the A25 and you'll find a pint of Westerham-brewed ale waiting on the bar - we pour it here too, alongside the Surrey guest ales. It's a ten-minute drive, but plenty of Westerham regulars say the beer garden and the Sunday roast make it feel like no distance at all.
The Crown began as a Tudor hall house in the 1500s and has welcomed locals and travellers on Old Oxted’s High Street for over 300 years. Today it’s an independent free house, owner-run by Alan Percival for over thirty years. Two characteristic bars with open fires, exposed beams and Victorian panelling, local cask ales from Surrey and Kent breweries, home-cooked food and a family beer garden with adventure playground and North Downs views.
When to visit.
Open from 12 noon on all trading days. Food served from opening. Sunday roast until we sell out.
