Welcome to the Crown Inn, Oakengates. We host the World’s biggest pub-based, cooled hand-pulled beer festival and can offer you an atmosphere of the best real ale quaffing in Shropshire. We have been national runner-up in “The Licensee & Morning Advertiser Cask Ale Pub Of The Year” three times and pride ourselves on delivering a pint to remember.

The Crown Inn was the Freehouse of the Year 2007 (East & West Midlands) and has been named Cask Ale Pub of the Year 2008 (East & West Midlands), of which we are very proud.

The Crown’s licensee, John Ellis, was the first in the Wrekin Borough to be awarded the Cask Marque Award for Excellence in the service of cask ale and was only the fourth in Shropshire. The Crown Inn is the only pub in Oakengates to hold the Cask Marque and is one of 4000 pubs across the UK to offer great cask ale.

The Crown Inn is a regular entry in the Good Beer Guide and Good Cider Guide, published by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
