Venue Overview

Dating back to 1605, The Crown & Thistle on Bridge Street underwent a meticulous £1.8 million restoration and reopened in 2013, preserving its Grade II listed structure. Nestled in the town's heart, this historic coaching inn features three buildings around a cobbled courtyard with 200-year-old wisteria. Original elements like timber beams and irregular window frames add character. Today, The Crown & Thistle blends historic charm with modern comforts, offering a restaurant, bar, function rooms, exclusive venue hire, and 18 boutique-style bedrooms. Its seasonal menu highlights Mediterranean flavors with locally sourced ingredients. Families enjoy a bespoke children's menu and activities. The inn boasts Rainforest Alliance coffee and local beers. Historic function rooms cater to weddings and corporate events, complemented by 18 uniquely styled bedrooms. Sustainability is key, seen in both menu and operations. The Crown & Thistle is a haven for history lovers and modern guests alike, promising an unforgettable experience rooted in centuries of tradition and hospitality.
