The Crown Tavern is a historic pub at 43 Clerkenwell Green, combining original character with a lively central London atmosphere. The rooms and large outside drinking area suit a quick lunch, an after work gathering or an unhurried weekend meal, with private spaces available for larger occasions.
Food follows the shape of a modern British pub menu, balancing familiar classics with seasonal additions. Diners can choose from hearty main dishes, lighter plates and lunchtime sandwiches, while vegetarian and vegan options are woven through the wider selection.
Handcrafted burgers and bar snacks work naturally with a pint, while the Sunday menu provides a more traditional roast and accompaniments. Set menus and buffet choices broaden the format for celebrations and corporate events without changing the pub’s relaxed approach to hospitality.
The bar ranges across craft ales, wine, spirits and cocktails, giving the venue equal weight as a drinking and dining destination. Its position on Clerkenwell Green and long daily opening hours make it convenient for local workers, residents and visitors moving between Farringdon and the surrounding neighbourhood.
Address: 43 Clerkenwell Green, Clerkenwell, London EC1R 0EG, England
