The Crown has been serving pints since 1836 when George Watts was the 1st recorded licensee and was at that time worked by Coltishall Brewery. The pub was supplied by Steward and Patterson from 1841, Bullards by 1863 and by the Great Yarmouth brewer
Lacons Brewery from February 1932. The Lacons plaque was at sometime incorporated into the exterior of the building where it can still be seen today. Lacons Brewery was bought by Whitbread in 1965 and The Crown Inn turned into a Freehouse in 1993. We often have Lacon’s ale again as they have restarted and are brewing some original receipes.
We have 2 self catering holiday cottages:
Holly has a double bedroom and a double sofa bed, a kitchen, lounge diner, a separate toilet and shower room.

Both cottages have an outside seating range. Pets are welcome with prior arrangement.
