The Old Crown at Kelston
The pub is on the A431 Bath Road. Signs on the windows notify customers: “After ten wonderful years at The Old Crown Inn, the time has come to pass on the custodianship of the pub for a fresh approach.
“The reasons for this change are personal, we want to thank everyone that has supported us, and we wish everyone connected with the pub all the very best for the future.”
The former coaching inn, which has a car park on the other side of the road, is known for its year-round colourful planters and hanging baskets, which have all now been removed.
According to Butcombe’s website, The Old Crown Inn is one of its tenanted pubs.
Dominic Rowley, Head of Leased and Tenanted at Butcombe Group, told the Echo: “The Old Crown is temporarily closed while we look for a new tenant partner.
“This is an exciting opportunity for someone to work with us to bring this great pub in Kelston back to life, with support and guidance from Butcombe Group – a multi-award-winning, established and well-respected name in the pub industry.
“We welcome enquiries from those looking for a new challenge. We can be contacted at https://butcombe.com/run-a-pub/how-to-apply/.”
