Crown & Sceptre — Restaurant in England

You know a pub is truly special when you need to wipe your feet on the way out. Stepping in was an immediate sensory assault, a grim tableau where the décor seemed to be a masterclass in how many shades of questionable a single establishment could embody. The carpet, a tapestry of unknown spills and questionable stickiness, didn't just feel like it hadn't been cleaned since the last millennium – it felt like it was actively trying to bond with your shoes. Every step was an archaeological dig, unearthing new and exciting textures. And the rips? Oh, they weren't mere imperfections; they were gaping maw-like chasms, ready to swallow an unsuspecting ankle or, perhaps, an entire pint glass. As for the walls, they appeared to be engaged in a losing battle with various fungi. Patches of damp and mould clung with a tenacious grip, adding a certain je ne sais quoi to the ambiance – specifically, the je ne sais quoi of a forgotten crypt. You half-expected to see a new strain of penicillin evolving before your very eyes. Honestly, the only thing thicker than the grime was the sense of despair. If you're looking for a pub that truly pushes the boundaries of human tolerance, where hygiene is a forgotten myth and every surface tells a story of neglect, then congratulations, you've found your Mecca.

What a dreadful pub! Group of 10 Walked in early Fri night we were only ones in there. Got the impression that was how it had been for a while, Even the bar was unattended! Pub stank of smoke (cigarette) and was dirty. first 2 beers were a keg lager which upon tasting was awful. Not bad, awful. Took them back to bar for the barman to shout to the back room at which point lady appears and so I ask….trying to be diplomatic…if the barrel is near its end. “No” is the answer. Ok so this doesn’t taste right, it’s got a nasty aftertaste. “No, nothing wrong with it I’ve sold lots of if from first thing this morning “ she tells me, trying to stare me out, I’m still stood holding the beers, oh ok so it’s my taste then? “Must be” she says now even if I was wrong and this beer was the freshest of fresh which would surprise me as beer is my thing and I used to have a you Tube channel promoting this, there is a way you interact with customers and even if they are wrong you at least show empathy and some interest in your clientel The pub is filthy stale smelly and totally unwelcoming.. don’t waste your time, effort or money on this...

Deleted my review. But I said they passed my drink around after I said it was watered down as I said the beer was watered down and they decided to pass it round to try to which I refused to have the drink back. To which they started slagging me off saying they aren’t a waitress. I mean, I would have a drink back after it had been passed around to 4 strangers? Anyway, stinks like a 60 year old ash tray. Definitely not the most welcoming place in town. Death stars as soon as you walk in. Absolutely...
