Our Story

A hidden treasure on the borders of Surrey, Kent & Sussex.

The Crown has stood on Old Oxted’s High Street since the 1500s, extended in the 1800s when it took in an old village brewery. Two character bars sit on two levels. The lower one more traditional, warmed by a log fire, beneath Victorian panelling and windows of every shape.

It’s an independent free house, owner-run for over thirty years, pouring Fuller’s London Pride alongside three changing guest ales from local breweries. Not a chain, a proper local.

The Beer Garden

The best garden in Old Oxted.

A huge, safe family garden with a full adventure playground and far-reaching views over the North Downs. The grown-ups get a sun-trap with a pint; the little ones get a kingdom of their own.

  • Wooden bus, pirate boat & wobbly bridges
  • Slide and a basket swing
  • Sweeping views over the North Downs
  • A real sun-trap and a stop on the North Downs Way

Kind Words
This place is a hidden gem for anyone with children. Massive child-friendly garden, beautiful views, stunning old building, great drinks, fab food. Use it before you lose it, we won’t get these country pubs back!

One of the best Sunday roasts in years. The beef was like butter, crispy roast potatoes and extra gravy on the table without having to ask. We were made to feel very welcome.

Very friendly local pub, excellent food and good beer at a very reasonable price. Exactly what we needed after walking a section of the North Downs Way.
