About Crown Inn

North east of Penrith in the ancient village of Kirkoswald lies the Crown Inn. The village was founded by monks and it sits on the coast-to-coast walking route but this quiet and tranquil corner of Cumbria is a world away from the hustle and bustle of the Lakeland tourist traps. An eighteenth century coaching inn, The Crown is right by the village square and war memorial and is a real locals' pub with bags of character crammed into one small room. Chef-patron Tony took over the reins here again in summer 2013 and his menus combine traditional pub favourites with more adventurous fare like Calimari and chorizo salad with roasted red pepper and Duck breast with black pudding and caramelized apples. The Crown has a pool room and every Sunday there is a quiz night. Read The Crown's TripAdvisor reviews here.

Lovely food and good atmosphere. We were in on a Wednesday night for Pizza night. The new menu was unexpected as the link from Sugarvine sent us to an old menu but we weren’t disappointed. Staff were superb and the beer was great too! Booked again for Saturday brunch as the brunch menu also looked amazing and we were very glad we did. We found this on Facebook which seems to be more up to date as stated in the previous review. The Crown in Hash was so good and the sharing breakfast was a challenge for my other half who’s eyes were greedier than his stomach. Thanks to maisy and the waiting on staff for great service.

DO NOT BOOK THROUGH SUGARVINE!!! Food was amazing and staff attentive. Beer was great but when we turned up the pub was full. We had sent a request via Sugarvine without a response but decided to show up anyway. The lady on the bar had to apologies as the business doesn’t even use Sugarvine. She offered us a drink and we waited for a table to become available. They have tried to have it removed but have been told that it cannot be taken down from SUGARVINE !!!! Which is ridiculous. This is a lovely local pub run by a local couple. It’s busy and they take phone bookings. So would advise calling direct. Like I say food was great and will definitely be back just a shame they are having issues with this site. I won’t be using SUgarvine again as it seems that they are uncooperative! Also we went on a Thursday as hours on here say that it’s only open Thursday to Sunday but when we arrived the pub is actually open Tuesday to Sunday. So don’t hold off booking. :) Thanks Chris and Chloe for a great time.

We have just had a beautiful Sunday roast. Starters were full of flavour and well sized portions. Children’s menu again boasts a well sized portion, excellent quality and value for money. Much nicer than some of your “branded” pubs serving food. Excellent value and quality food! Thankyou for the lovely welcoming atmosphere! Beautifully decorated pub full of character and history

Real Olde Pub it's walls oozing with history and folk lore. The food is out of this world yet reasonably priced and it's menu as refreshingly different and varied as I have ever seen in a Pub. Booked again for this sunday evening can't wait!

Just tried to book for a meal. Says dogs allowed on website, but they are not allowed while food is being served. So we did not book.

We ate in The Crown Inn last Sunday evening (26 July) and enjoyed a fab meal.

The Crown Inn is a vibrant local pub selling a selection of good wines, spirits, excellent real ales, Italian style coffee and wonderful food. It is unusual in that you can combine an inviting English country pub experience, open fire, a warm welcome from hosts Tony and Becky with fantastic Italian food. Lovely pizzas, pastas are a speciality as well as the range of other delicious foods such as steaks, fish and specials. Try this spot. You will not be disappointed. One visit and you will be hooked. Be sure to book. They are busy but very keen to fit you in. They will serve you well. 01768 870 410
