The "Crown Inn" at Sarre has welcomed a variety of distinguished guests
over the years, from novelist Charles Dickens to Prime Minister Edward
Heath.
Its obvious appeal – its 15th century origins, comfortable
accommodation, good food, warm hospitality and lovely garden – continues
to be discovered by countless visitors.
The Crown Inn is known locally as the Cherry Brandy House on account
of its sale of the popular drink. (I will add
here that I have been to the pub and did ask for a Cherry Brandy, and
the barmaid hadn't a clue what I was on about. Paul Skelton.)
The Grade I listed building boasts an impressive history. It is
thought to have started life as a coffee house and features a
priest-hole. It is, perhaps, no wonder that the BBC Ghosthunters
programme filmed at The "Crown Inn."
Open all day, every day, the "Crown Inn" has much to offer, from fine
food and accommodation to a wide selection of ales and wines and the
friendliest of welcomes. (No Cherry Brandy
though, apparently.)
