The Old Crown is in the picturesque Cumbrian village of Hesket Newmarket. The pub is owned by a co-operative of more than one hundred local people and other supporters. It is believed to be Britain’s first co-operatively owned pub.
The co-operative is dedicated to maintaining the essential character of the pub which serves the very best real ales all brewed by the Hesket Newmarket Brewery which stands at the rear of the pub.
This is a cosy, friendly pub, which you can go into whether you’re wearing your wellies, walking boots, or a suit, and you won’t come out without speaking to someone. Regulars and visitors alike always find a warm welcome, great home cooked food, a friendly smile and a truly superb range of real ales.
Even Prince Charles has been known to call in for a pint of ‘Doris’ 90th’, which judging from the photos went down very well!
We look forward to welcoming you!

Stamp it out!
Gain access to a variety of treats and discounts with our Secret Stamps… they're worth a great deal!
Unlike a card scheme, we’re not trying to capture your data – we’re trying to captivate you! Our stamps don’t expire, so you’ll have plenty of time to savour the special offers which reflect the unique collection of places featured on the site… champers on ice, midnight feast hampers and free bags of calf feed to name a few!
You decide what it’s worth! After our small admin fee of £5, every penny goes to a charity of your choice; something close to your heart. We'll then share Classified Inspiration about your charity with our online communities on Facebook and Twitter, giving much needed exposure to great causes throughout the UK. It’s up to you!
