The Crown Inn is a traditional village pub with a history that stretches back to 1585. During the 18th century, the pub was the headquarters for the Groombridge Gang, ruthless smugglers who terrorised this neck of the woods. These days, however, you can expect a warm welcome and a good choice of food and drink. There are rooms available, too. For more information, visit: thecrowngroombridge.com.
