Our story
About The Crown Inn
A 16th-century coaching inn
The Crown Inn is a 16th-century free house opposite the village green on Worthing Road. It has been a pub for at least four hundred years, and was on the coach road between London and the south coast long before it was Dial Post's local. Penny and James Middleton-Burn have been running it since 2007.
People friendly and dog friendly
The Crown Inn is people-friendly as well as dog-friendly — a good mix of locals, diners, walkers, safari-goers and weekenders. There's comfy seating in the bar with an open fire in winter, a light and airy garden room for eating, a big beer garden, and a patio overlooking the village green.
Four beautifully appointed rooms upstairs, two self-catering cottages right next to the pub, and some of the best wildlife in lowland Britain on our doorstep at the Knepp Estate.
