The Perfect Pub

The Perfect Pub

Inkpen is an idyllic village, surrounded by some of the best views, walks and cycling routes the county has to offer, and it has an incredible pub with rooms, the Crown & Garter.

With a large outdoor terrace and beer garden, and a cosy bar as you enter, it had a relaxed vibe about it. And we received a warm welcome from April, our hostess for the evening. We perused the drinks list that was dominated by local breweries and distilleries until April showed us to our table in the modern restaurant at the back.
