Hi All.
How is everyone? Ok I hope.
Winter seems to be starting to turn up, Cold, Windy, Dark and Damp. Bloody Wonderful. Well the bonus is it`s not Freezing yet.
We have that to look forward too. Plus the Halloween Quiz at The Village Hall on Saturday (1st). Beaujolais Nouveau Day (20th).
Nearly forgot The Budget (26th). Maria and I are going to London
to see "Stranger Things", our highlight for November. (Thank You, Richard.) Now the main reason for this post.
As you all are aware. We offer Sunday Roasts every Sunday.
Now due to in staff and workload issues these will only be offered
on Sundays which fall on a odd date. (1st, 3rd, 5th etc) All present bookings are unaffected. This is as of this Sunday, being the 2nd.
Sorry about this, but needs must.
Right, Need to get on, so.
Watch This Space,
Wear a Poppy,
Support the Local.

Cheers
Kevin & Maria

THE CROWN INN
LITTLE STAUGHTON
25 Years ago today, opened the door of
The Crown, Little Staughton for the first time.
Who can believe that I would be saying this now?
Should have started writing a book. Would be a
Best Seller without a doubt.
The Crown Little Staughton, little pub, big heart.
More gossip spread than in The Rovers Return and
more rubbish spoken than in The Queen Vic.
Who would want things any different?
We could not have achieved this feat without you all.

Thank You All.

Hi All,
Just a quick one, The Crown is looking for help in the kitchen. We are trying to find someone who can help in all areas of the Kitchen.
The time has come for myself Kevin, to move back to front of house. Nothing will change, food wise, and I will still only be yards from the kitchen. If you are interested please call and have a chat.

01234 376260,
07788 805756.

As far as everything else goes, all is well. Starting to plan for the cold spell. These coming months are by far the hardest ones of the year. The shooting season begins, and everyone slowly gets into the Xmas mode. I wonder why sometimes, as it is over before you know it. There I go Old Bar Humbug coming out. I know what, lets move on. Next Friday the 3rd October for all you who cannot remember, or were not around. Twenty Five Years at The Crown.
Not a bad feat, if I say so myself. I could not have done it without
Maria, and she would not have done it without Me. Been a real
headache over the years, sometimes could cry, sometimes could scream, even felt like killing on more than one occasion. Well,
"That`s Life" as they say, and "Time Heals". My fingers are crossed,
Stopped Crying, the Screaming is under control and that leaves the Killing (With that I claim the 5th).
Joke`s aside, as things are now it`s all good. (Yes I know it`s Tuesday and we are shut). We have a laugh and joke, Maria loves to chat and all is going to plan. That says it all, Twenty five years and still have plans, will never be finished.
Thanks to You All, for all your support over the years and more.
Good Night,
Kevin a Maria.

Ps. To anyone who does understand, Claim the 5th.
Just send a stamped addressed envelope and £5 note
for full explanation.

THE CROWN
LITTLE STAUGHTON
ARE LOOKING FOR HELP IN THE KITCHEN. PLEASE MESSAGE FOR MORE DETAILS

11/04/2025

The Crown Inn,
Little Staughton.

Hello All, Enjoying the Weather?
It`s Bloody Great.
I`ve been meaning to post this for a few weeks now, but just have not had the time.
I must start by going back to that Saturday in March.
The 1st to be exact, I am brewing, Maria is pottering about.
Our Clare turns up with Kayleigh and Harper, well it is our
Wedding Anniversary. Opens up at 3, normally quiet for the 1st hour or so. A few come in, "What you doing about ?" Maria asks.
Litter Picking is the reply. Then a few more, and a few more.
"Kevin you need to get in here and help, the place is packed".
In I come, dressed for brewing not serving. What the heck,
these do not look like they have been Litter Picking. At which point Mary make her speech and leads everyone in a chorus of They are Jolly Good Fellows. Clare is nearly in tears, how sweet she says as she films it on her phone. Did we not know or suspect something was going on everyone asks. No we never did and to think this was being planned under our noses for weeks, all we can say in none of you can be Trusted. Jokes aside, we were moved. Thanks to everyone and do not forget, Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd.
Party Weekend. 50 years Married and 25 years in The Crown.
Look forward to seeing you here.
Now The Crown,
Sunday dinners are going really well, Thank You to all the New and Returning Diners. Please remember bookings are required.
Thursday, Friday and Saturdays can be hectic also, so again please Book. I would like to add when booking please consider when you phone and why. We do no Open Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the moment, hence a call at 9.45 pm to book a table for a date 4 weeks away is inconvenient to us. I would return the call at our earliest convenience, most likely time being about 3am Thursdays while waiting at Billingsgate. Get me Drift.
As with the opening hours, there is a limit to what we can do.
We are and always are looking for staff. That is the hardest part of running a Pub in the sticks, Staff. In town, stick up a sign Staff Wanted and away you go, not out here. So are you looking
for an opportunity to earn and enjoy the social life that goes with working in a country pub, give us a call. Do not be put off because you feel too old or you have no experience, neither is an issue.
Any thoughts, give Maria or Myself a call. Maria would be more than happy to chat as ever.
Right, need to get on, so please watch this space. As promised
I will post more frequently and update the website.
I`ve been told.

Cheers
Kevin & Maria
