The Crown Inn is a family-run freehouse, a busy pub which is a favourite with both locals and tourists. It has an attractive beer garden, regular entertainment and a games room and is ideally placed in the centre of Lechlade, a pretty market town on the River Thames and on the edge of the Cotswolds. In December 2008 the Halfpenny Brewery opened at the rear of the Crown and its range of cask and bottle conditioned real ales are available through the pub.

Families are welcome, and the secluded beer garden is very popular in the summer months. Sunday lunches made with local butchers meat, homemade yorkshire puddings and seasonal vegetables are available every Sunday.

The Crown Inn public house is an old coaching inn, one of the many in Lechlade, popular with travellers when Lechlade was on a main coach route to London. The earliest record of the Inn was in 1696, when the Cole family owned it. The Watkins’ took over The Crown Inn in 1998 and have extended the property to include charming accommodation overlooking the beer garden.

Spend a lazy weekend at the Crown Inn and take advantage of the many attractions that Lechlade offers; boating, fishing, a walk along the river Thames. Browse the many antique shops, we have an antiques market on the first Sunday of each month. Experience a typical Cotswolds cream tea. There’s a wealth of interesting activities to entertain you in Lechlade.
