Crown

The Crown Inn at Northill is a beautifully preserved 17th-century country pub set in the heart of a charming Bedfordshire village. With its timber-framed façade, cosy interiors, and open fires, it exudes traditional English character.

Nestled beside a duck pond and overlooking the village green, it is surrounded by timeless countryside views and the historic St Mary’s Church. The peaceful setting makes it a perfect escape for walkers, locals, and visitors alike. A spacious garden with mature trees and patio seating adds to its appeal, offering a tranquil spot to relax and soak in the idyllic rural atmosphere. The pub focuses on a good quality premium pub experience, with a heavy focus on food. We would expect the new operator to build on the family run business for the last 15 years and continue to deliver and evolve a great food offer, as well as making the most of the extensive gardens that come with the property. We are looking for a business partner who is passionate about building a food offer that is exciting, exceptional and great value for money. Offering up a special treat and an amazing Sunday Roast but always going that extra mile on service. This could be the flagship for an experienced multiple operator or the most amazing Chef Patron establishment.
