This is a traditional
village pub in the heart of the Leicestershire Wolds 5 miles East of
Loughborough and 12 miles south of Nottingham. The atmosphere here is great,
friendly and relaxed. The Three Crowns is a "traditional pub" with a good
selection of well-kept beers, wine and spirits, good conversation and a warm
welcome for all. They normally have Marston' Pedigree and Adnams Bitter as
regulars, and usually have two guest beers, sometimes from the
Belvoir Brewery, such as Whippling or Beaver Bitter. Food is available at
Lunchtime 12-2.30 and sometimes in the evening, though ring first to check. Food
ranges from chips to a full blown large steak with the trimmings. Outside is a
spacious beer garden. Opening times 11.30 to 3.00 & 5.30 (Sat 6.00) to 11.00,
Sunday 12.00 to 3.00 7.00 to 10.30. No accommodation here.

The review is now a little dated
and as the new landlady of the three crowns i just wished to add to it. we
still serve 4 real ales-permanent ales are Marstons pedigree & Adnams & we
rotate the 2 guest ales weekly, for example we have full bloom (York) &
golden eagle (Cotleigh) on at the moment. we still use Belvoir brewery
regularly as before. Food is now served 12-2.30 at lunch & also some
evenings. Prices start from a £1.00 for a large bowl of chips up to £9.75
for a 10oz sirloin steak. we now allow children, well behaved dogs & their
owners!! it is still a friendly, cosy welcoming traditional pub and we have
a Petanque pitch at the top of the car park & have 6 teams in the league
plus darts teams also. the first Monday of every month is now quiz night and
we will be having the odd night of entertainment. (21/6/03) |
