A Norfolk local

Come in, settle down and stay a while.

The Smallburgh Crown is a characterful village pub made for unhurried lunches, lively evenings and catching up over a well-kept pint.

Old beams, comfortable corners and a genuinely friendly bar make it an easy place to feel at home.

A new chapter

Bringing the Crown back to life.

We took over The Smallburgh Crown in July 2026, knowing this much-loved village pub deserved care, energy and a thoughtful new beginning. Rather than change everything at once, we divided the work into three clear stages.

  1. 01 · Now open

    The pub

    Our first priority was the bar and public rooms. We opened up the spaces, brought in more natural light and created a brighter, roomier pub that still feels unmistakably like the Crown.

  2. 02 · Now open

    The kitchen

    The kitchen is now open and serving fresh food every day.

  3. 03 · Early 2027

    The rooms

    The final stage is the accommodation. We hope to reopen the Crown’s rooms at the beginning of 2027, giving visitors another reason to stay a little longer in Smallburgh.

Pull up a chair

Cosy corners.
Plenty of character.

From a quiet daytime drink to a full house on music night, the Crown has room for both.

On the bar

Local beer gets pride of place.

Wildcraft beers sit alongside guest favourites, cider and Guinness, with something for every kind of pub drinker.

The selection changes regularly—ask at the bar to see what is pouring today.
