Live sport
We show the match.
Premier League, Six Nations, GAA and all World Cup 2026 fixtures on three screens. Big matches get busy, book a table to be safe.
Matt ran immersive bars for a decade before taking on the Crown. He pours a proper pint, keeps the quiz honest, and answers the phone himself when he can. When he can't, his assistant picks up in his own voice and sorts you out.
Always on
Ask Matt, any time
Ring the pub or ask in the chat, day or night, and you talk to Matt: the assistant answers in Matt's own voice, from the pub's own information: hours, menus, allergens, what's showing, bookings. If it can't help, it takes a message and the real Matt rings you back.
“Do you show the rugby on Saturday?”
“Is the kitchen still open?”
“Can I bring the dog?”
