As we count down to reopening, it's hard to believe just how much has been achieved in such a short space of time.
When work began, there was plenty to do. Rooms needed clearing, furniture needed repairing, walls needed repainting and the gardens needed bringing back to life. Since then, The Crown has undergone a remarkable transformation, thanks to the dedication of an incredible team of volunteers from across the village.
Over the past few months, volunteers have given many of hours of their time to prepare the pub for its next chapter. They have cleared years of accumulated clutter, repainted walls, refreshed the décor, reupholstered furniture, and restored outdoor spaces that will welcome visitors from the moment they arrive.
While the physical transformation is clear to see, what makes it even more special is the spirit behind it. We are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, generosity and pride of people who wanted to see their local pub thrive once again and are happy to put in the hours to support it.
The reopening of The Crown is the result of a community coming together with a shared vision and a willingness to roll up their sleeves to make it happen. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered their time, skills and energy. Your hard work has helped create a welcoming space that the whole village can be proud of.
This really is your community pub, and we can't wait to welcome everyone through the doors very soon.
