Historic Boston Spa country pub unveils bank holiday birthday celebration line-up

The Crown may be in the heart of Boston Spa, but the local community is exactly where its focus is too. And that’s why local residents and tourists alike are the guests of honour at the fourth anniversary birthday party since its makeover and relaunch.

The historic building had lain empty for nine years before the current owners restored it to its former glory back in 2021.

The team poured their money and love into creating something extra special … there’s a cosy country pub feel, from décor to fittings, complete with a main bar space and tap room, for whatever vibe you are looking for.

And for those looking for a contemporary twist, the Green Room offers light and space, while the glass conservatory hosts the restaurant, with views into the landscaped courtyard garden.

Never ones to rest on their laurels, 2024 saw another investment in The Crown, with a private dining space on the first floor, suitable for up to 20 guests to enjoy the chef’s amazing menu in their own exclusive space. It can be hired for small parties and events.

Hot food and tempting offers

Guests dining at the pub can expect delicious dishes morning, noon and night. Start the day with a freshly cooked full English breakfast or eggs benedict, before enjoying a hot sandwich or seasonal salad for lunch – perfect when enjoyed before or after a walk around the local countryside.

From Monday to Saturday, diners can enjoy a selection of freshly prepared seasonal dishes from the pub’s main menu, whilst on Sunday the restaurant serves up a proper roast.

Customers can also enjoy weekly offers at The Crown, including kids eating half price every Sunday with the purchase of an adult main.

The kitchen team creates a regularly changing menu, working alongside local suppliers including Sykes House Farm and Hodgson’s Fish.

Community events – the hub of the town

And just like most perfect country pubs this is more than just a local. There are baby band classes every Monday morning and a quiz each Monday night, regular bingo nights, a weekly life drawing class and regular food pop-ups – literally something to suit every taste.

Drinkers are of course very well catered for, with a range of local draught and cask ales, an extensive wine list and seasonal cocktails – enjoy a taste of summer!

Bank holiday birthday bash

Over the late May bank holiday weekend, The Crown will be hosting a birthday celebration featuring a beer festival, live music, DJs, children’s activities and a BBQ. All events will be free entry throughout the weekend, though beer tokens will need to be purchased for the beer festival and there is a £5 per team entry for the weekly Monday quiz.

You won’t want to miss a moment, so here’s the full line up.

Beer Festival, Friday 23rd & Saturday 24th May

Taking place on Friday from 5pm and Saturday from 12pm, The Crown will be hosting a mini-beer festival, featuring a line-up of some of the pub’s favourite local breweries and British cider producers including Kirkstall Brewery, Bingley Brewery and Wensleydale Brewery. Customers can purchase tokens for the beer festival from the bar on Friday & Saturday, with a special bundle offer of £5 worth of tokens, a festival programme and a glass for just £5.

Live entertainment, Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th May

Expect a weekend of entertainment from local DJs playing balearic beats and classic anthems to keep you dancing all day and night on Friday from 5pm and Saturday from 12pm. On Sunday, local musician Julian Taylor will be playing in the pub’s Green Room from 6pm.

Bank holiday BBQ, Friday 23rd & Saturday 24th May

The kitchen team will be grilling up BBQ specials in the beer garden on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th May. This will be alongside the usual main menu service in the pub’s restaurant.

Bank holiday Monday, Monday 26th May

On bank holiday Monday, the pub will be extending its breakfast service hours to 10am - 1pm so you can have a lazy bank holiday brunch. Then on the evening, the pub’s weekly pub quiz will be taking place from 8pm (£5 entry per team).

Sam, the pub’s general manager said: “We love being part of the Boston Spa community, there’s nowhere we’d rather be. So please, come join us for a birthday weekend, followed by a summer of fun.”
