The Crown Inn has sat at the heart of Oakengates, Telford since 1835 — a three-roomed Shropshire real-ale institution and one of only a handful of UK pubs to hold CAMRA's Golden Award, pouring guest beers from 14 cooled hand pulls. It is also one of the most dependable grassroots music rooms in the borough: quality live music fills many Saturday evenings, the Telford Acoustic Club gathers every Wednesday, and the pub runs Shropshire's longest-running Open Mic Night on the last Thursday of every month. With a Cask Marque-accredited bar, a dog- and child-friendly welcome, disabled access, a car park and a garden, it remains a genuine cornerstone of Telford's live-acoustic scene.
