The Crown, Old Amersham, Bucks

The Crown has had a recent make-over, and looks very stylish. You probably saw it near the start of Hugh Grant's 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' looking very chintzy. That has all been replaced by cool shades and slate floors. The rooms are as you would expect from a former coaching inn, and some surround the courtyard.
The beer is good, and there is a large selection of wines. The food is fine dining in the restaurant, or pub snacks in the bar - and of course there is the obligatory log fire.
A very nice touch in the loo is a talking book that was reciting 'Elegy in a Country Churchyard' - very romantic, once you have got over the surprise of hearing a man's voice as you enter the room! Enjoy!
