Welcome to the Old Crown Pub
Malcolm and Pat Hawksworth are the tenants of the Old Crown in Hesket Newmarket. The pub is owned by a co-operative of more than one hundred local people and other supporters.
The co-operative is dedicated to maintaining the essential character of the pub. The Old Crown serves at least seven of the very best real ales all brewed by the Hesket Newmarket Brewery which stands at the rear of Pub, plus one guest ale from other Cumbrian Brewers, plus two lager conditioned real ales from the Czech Republic.
A veritable beer festival everyday.
