About The Old Three Crowns

Customer Review Summary
Karaoke is the most frequent draw, with reviewers describing loud, happy singers on a Monday and a Saturday afternoon session that a few found enjoyable even when it ran a bit loud. Close behind are the pints, with Guinness and the bar prices described as good value, and the friendly staff and local crowd. The converted back car park gets attention too, with its fake grass, picnic tables and a shelter covered in blue tarpaulin, alongside a smaller brick courtyard, and one reviewer called the beer garden massive. Home made barms and an alcohol free Guinness in a pint sized can are also mentioned. The one lukewarm view comes from a pub crawler who found an ordinary pint of London Pride and was not grabbed by the place. Another reviewer called the gents toilet not the nicest but clean, with a lovely soap, and one visitor found the pub particularly rough but friendly.
