Who's behind the bar
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.

42 Orford Road, Walthamstow Village, E17 9NJ.
Always. Booking is only really needed for Sunday roasts, big matches and groups of 6 or more.
Street parking on Orford Road is free after 6:30pm and on Sundays. Walthamstow Central station is a 10 minute walk.
Quiz nights, roast bookings, a new cask on. No more than we would want to get ourselves, and one click to stop at any time.
A demonstration
Brilliant is building a phone assistant that answers a pub's line in the landlord's own voice: hours, food, the match, directions, and a message taken when it cannot help. This is a sample of it, recorded for The Crown & Anchor.
It is a demonstration, not a live line. Ringing this pub reaches the pub.
