How we score

The editorial take

The Crown & Thistle Pub is a British-style pub with a beer program that stays close to its theme. The website shows Robinsons Trooper, a premium British beer at 4.7% ABV, and an on-tap section that includes draught stout, which also appears in the Stout Float. Guinness shows up on the menu as a pie ingredient and in a recent customer account. The tap range isn't detailed beyond these points, so the strength is a focused, recognizable British pub pour rather than a deep list.

What should I order?
Start with Robinsons Trooper, the 4.7% ABV British beer shown on the website, or a draught stout if you want the on-tap side of the program. The Stout Float uses draught stout, and the Guinness Short Rib Pie carries the beer theme into the food menu.
Who will enjoy this place?
Drinkers who want a British pub beer identity rather than a wide-ranging tap list. The named selections and draught stout reference suit anyone ordering a single pint alongside pub food.
When should I go?
A pub meal is the natural fit, especially if you want a beer with the Guinness Short Rib Pie or the Stout Float. The packet supports pairing occasions, not specific hours or quieter windows.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The beer program is tied directly to the British pub format: Robinsons Trooper at 4.7% ABV, an on-tap section with draught stout, and menu items like the Stout Float and Guinness Short Rib Pie that repeat the beer theme rather than treating it as a separate list.

Beer

Inebrious Beer score: 83 out of 100

A light but clear British pub beer program. Robinsons Trooper at 4.7% ABV is shown on the website, and an on-tap section includes draught stout used in the Stout Float. Guinness appears in a recent customer account and in the Guinness Short Rib Pie. The range beyond these points isn't detailed, so the score stays in the good band.

Menu strengths

  • Robinsons Trooper premium British beer at 4.7% ABV is shown in a website beer image.
  • The website has an on-tap section and references draught stout in the Stout Float menu item.
  • Guinness Short Rib Pie carries the beer theme into the food menu.

Standout selections

  • Robinsons Trooper: premium British beer at 4.7% ABV, shown in a website beer image.
  • Guinness: reported by a recent customer and referenced in the Guinness Short Rib Pie.

How it sits with the food

The Guinness Short Rib Pie is a menu item built with beer, and the Stout Float is made with draught stout. Both give a direct, supported reason to order a stout or the Trooper alongside food.
