We're a proper community local: quiz night on Tuesdays, live music most Saturdays, and a Sunday meat draw, the pub has been the heart of the village for years.
We're also a genuine piece of history.
During the Second World War, Aldbourne was home to Easy Company of the US 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division — the paratroopers made famous by Band of Brothers — They used The Crown the pub as their base in the village before D-Day.
Our 101 Bar is a tribute to that history, and visitors still travel from around the world to see it.
It makes for a pub with a real story to tell, and a team who are proud to be part of it.
