Features and amenities at The Crown & Anchor Inn
Does it have a beer garden? ☀️
Yes, and it's a pleasant surprise as you make your way through the pub!
It’s deceptively big too, and unexpectedly cozy, making it the perfect spot to enjoy your drink on a sunny day or mild evening.
Is it dog friendly? 🐶
Absolutely! While we didn’t bring our dog along with us this time, furry friends are more than welcome at The Crown & Anchor Inn. So feel free to bring them along for a pint (or a bowl of water).
Preston Park is also opposite the road, making it an ideal choice if you’re looking for a good pub/dog walk combination.
Does it have any games or activities available? 🎲
While The Crown & Anchor Inn doesn't offer specific games or activities that we could see, the great vibe more than makes up for it. The ambiance itself is an experience, inviting you to relax, chat and enjoy its classy (and very dark green) surroundings.
Does it run a pub quiz? 🧐
No, The Crown & Anchor Inn doesn't appear to currently host a pub quiz. But with its sophisticated atmosphere, engaging conversations are always on the menu!
Does it show live sport? ⚽️
The Crown & Anchor Inn opts for a more tranquil environment and doesn't show live sports. If anything, it's the perfect escape for those looking to unwind without the distraction of televised matches.
The Woof pub down the road does offer live sport instead, so you won’t be far away from being able to watch a match!
How far a walk is it from the nearest train station? 🚂
Conveniently located, The Crown & Anchor Inn is just an 8-minute stroll from Preston Park train station. It's also an easy and pleasant walk as you walk downhill from the station to the pub, but is a bit more of a steep incline on the way back up!
How would you describe The Crown & Anchor Inn...?
...to a friend? 🗣️
The Crown & Anchor Inn is a warm, welcoming pub with a classy feel. It has chandeliers, sofas and a surprisingly big and cosy beer garden out the back.
While its range of beers is fairly standard, it's a very aesthetic pub with friendly bar staff and a vibe similar to being in a high-end hotel bar.
