Tomorrow’s the final chapter for a lot of The Crown & Badger gear.

The auction’s on tomorrow — everything from bar gear and kitchen equipment through to furniture, glassware and all the bits that made the old girl what she was.

Whether you’re in hospo, setting up a space, or just want a little piece of the pub, come have a look.

Massive thanks again for all the support over the years. The messages, stories, laughs and yarns these last few weeks have meant more than you know ❤️

This is a tough one to write…
It’s official, The Crown & Badger has poured its last pint and closed its doors for good.

It’s been a bloody good run. Big nights, live bands, a few too many beers, and plenty of familiar faces at the bar.

To everyone who’s been part of The Crown, thank you. From the epic teams we’ve had to our fantastic customers You made the place what it was.

The last few years haven’t been easy, we’ve given this place everything we’ve got and it’s unfortunately time to pull the pin

We’re gutted, not gonna lie. But also really proud of what this little pub was and the community around it.

If you’ve got a favourite memory, chuck it in the comments — we’d love to see them.

Cheers for everything
Jess & the team 🍻

⚠️ Due to the approaching cyclone, we will be CLOSED this Sunday.

The safety of our staff and customers is our top priority, so we’ve made the call to shut for the day.

Please take care, stay safe, and look after one another 💛

We’ll be back open as usual after, and look forward to seeing you all soon.

If you’ve got even a drop of Irish in you (or just like a good excuse for a pint), today’s your day.

We’ve got the Guinness pouring, the bar open, and the usual bit of mischief on The Strand. Throw on something green and come join us for a pint… or a few.

No fuss. Just good people and good beer.

Sláinte. 🍻

Still no Christmas party plan?
No judgement here. We've got cold beers, a hot kitchen and room for you last minute legends.
Walk on in and pull up a chair
