own words, the Crown is an upscale Brits, in particular,
will be impressed with the range and quality of British beers, yet they also
have a decent selection of reasonably priced wines available by the glass or
by the bottle including La Crema chardonnay and
Firestone Cabernet. Beers on tap include Fullers London Pride and ESB, Marston Pedigree and Boddingtons plus Blackthorne
cider and Stella Even with average
food, the ambience would probably ensure the Crown’s popularity. Fortunately
though, their food is better than most. Their fish and chips
is advertised as “the best in the Bay Area” and few would argue the

anymore but they do have a lamb hotpot and shepherd’s pie on offer as well as
grilled Salmon and As if all this is not
enough, the Crown has “specials” nights such as Monday $6 fish and chip night
and Tuesday $6 burger and fries night. They also have live music at the
weekend. Their web site at www.crownpub.com
has full details of all activities and plenty of photos together with a copy
of the menu and wine lists. ■ Reviews such as the one
above are included as a service to introduce people to interesting restaurants
