Who's behind the bar

Matt Cortland

Matt Cortland

Landlord since 2019

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.
