The Evening Standard’s Country Pub of the Week column has shone a light on Old Crown Girton, celebrating how our historic thatched pub keeps locals coming back with flavourful Nepalese cooking and a relaxed village welcome.
Reviewer David Ellis praised the way our menu blends first-rate Nepalese dishes with the familiar comforts of a proper pub — from fresh momo to televised matches, a dog-friendly garden, and free parking for easy visits.
“The changes keep locals coming back. Adapt or die, that’s the ticket.”
Highlights from the review
- A warm, lived-in pub atmosphere paired with authentic Nepalese curries cooked to order.
- Welcoming touches — from smiling waiters to tailoring spice levels — that make regulars feel at home.
- Practical comforts like football on the telly, dog-friendly spaces, and a generous beer garden.
