Property details
The Crown is a traditional Kent-style building with a car park and pretty beer garden and is situated in the picturesque village of Shoreham, on the outskirts of Sevenoaks. A quaint, rural village, popular with cyclists and ramblers alike and is well visited throughout summer with regular flypasts by Spitfires and Lancaster bombers. A generally affluent area for commuters and retired people, Shoreham boasts a local vineyard and is home to the Shoreham Aircraft Museum. Sevenoaks is a busy market town with great links into the city providing the country-living feel with the Capital city employment. A fantastic shopping centre and thriving traditional high street make Sevenoaks a popular place for families and young couples to dwell.
The Crown is well laid out to be able to host a large amount of customers as a one-person operation if required. It is a cosy snug pub with the bar as the main central feature giving easy access to all areas. From the car park, you will enter a corridor with a choice of two doors, The first door takes you to the main bar area, where you will find the dining area space and also access to the toilets. From here, you will also gain access to the cosy and quaint tap room. The second door from the corridor will lead you into the private dining room which then, in turn, leads to the kitchen. Predominantly low-level seating and dining tables throughout, the Crown's main focus is on a comfortable dining experience.
Set alongside the 10-space car park, is a secluded garden with seating for up to 25. This gated area is set with pretty flowers and is a great place to eat or sit in the sun with a cold beer or glass of wine.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen and a bathroom.

Trading style
The Crown is well-loved in the village and over the years, has developed a reputation for good food and great service, while being run as a family business. A well-balanced drinks offer and a traditional pub food menu are currently being served at the pub with the trade split being around 70% drink and 30% food. With cask ales and tasty wines available, the Crown offers something a little more enticing than just your average pub and its location in the village is key to being easily accessible for local custom and those passing through.
The Crown’s current offer on food and drink is already popular, however, further development of both of these valuable income streams will enhance the business and bring a considerable amount more footfall to the pub. A premium drinks offer and an exciting new menu of wholesome pub grub will see the Crown excel to the next level and become a competitive part of the local community. There is also scope to utilise and promote the private dining room more, to encourage larger families as well as maybe altering the layout daily to incorporate more dining tables and increase the general dining capacity. A continued focus on cask and craft ales plus further improvements to the wine list will also help to make the Crown the place to be. The introduction of regular events including quizzes, games nights, and vinyl nights plus specialty food nights could also help improve regular visitors to the pub as well as entice newcomers to visit and enjoy.
