Friendly and welcoming yet incongrous for the affluent area, a proper no frills no music peaceful locals pub with a superb choice of well kept ales on offer. Incredible this never fell in range of ChrisE's or any other P&B scribe's radar seeing as it's so close to Woking Hbf!

The pub is found in Horsell, Surrey, GU21 4ST.

A traditional and welcoming two bar village community pub in the High Street which is also the brewery tap for the local Thurstons brewery. The Crown is the local CAMRA branch's pub of the year 2022. The focus of the pub is on serving great beer to their enthusiastic and loyal customer base. There are six hand pumps, three of which always serve Thurstons beers which are brewed just a one minute walk from the pub. Other locally brewed ales such as those from Surrey Hills and Tillingbourne often feature on the other three hand pumps. Antoinette runs the pub with the help of her very knowledgeable and experienced team, and her partner John runs the multi-award winning Thurston brewery, which was originally based at The Crown but is now located in its own building just two doors away from the pub.

We have visited this pub once, seen 6 different beers and tried 4 of them.
