The Crown Inn - Church Street - Beeston, Nottinghamshire - Pubs and Inns on Waymarking.com

"An alehouse has stood on this Grade-II listed site since 1830. Since restoration by Everards, its range of ales has expanded to 14 and includes real cider, leading to it winning East Midlands Pub of the Year in 2010 and 2011. Inside there's a cosy atmosphere created by five distinct drinking areas including a snug and three seat 'confessional', once used as a hideaway by the local vicar. The beer garden outside regularly hosts events. Snacks available daily.

The Crown Inn was registered as an Asset of Community Value on the 11th May 2016 and was nominated by the Nottingham Branch of CAMRA. The Crown has an heritage interior rated by CAMRA as being of National Importance. "The star feature here is the original layout of four rooms, known as The Shambles, retained when this early 19th-century pub was greatly extended in 1976. The original, now subsidiary, door is in Middle Street and leads into a quarry-tiled passage. Through a pair of open doors is a sliding hatch and intact stable door with shelf and part-glazed upper door. The very small public bar on the right has a quarry-tiled floor and bar fittings dating from around 1880. The counter has a herringbone-panelled front and a bowed top of some age while the mirrored bar back contains four small cupboards. The furniture comprises an old bench and three small tables. Beyond another glazed partition wall is a tiny snug, formerly an off-sales. Back in the entrance passage, the snug on the left has old fixed seating on three sides. The Games Room is the last of this suite of old rooms and has vintage dado panelling and fixed seating of different dates. The curved bar counter could well have replaced a hatch in the inter-war era. Dating the panelling is made difficult by its being painted."
