Crown Tavern (Clerkenwell)

• They have a very nice gastro pub style menu with some tasty options
• Didn't eat here but the menu was up and looked much like you'd expect from a pub
• On the day half of central London was shut down (London marathon)
• I ordered the 'Free range Cherry Orchard pork loin with crackling'
• Was a good decision as it was delicious (although anything with crackling is usually delicious anyway)
• Farringdon is always dead on Sundays so most pubs are almost empty
• I went to this one with my improv group after class and we had lunch at about 3.30pm
• While they were doing Sunday roasts they were out of yorkshires and gravy so my friend had to manage with mint jelly and the other usual condiments
• I think the atmosphere will be much nicer when the pub is full and there's even games that you can play so it's ideal for groups
• The building itself is Victorian and is kind of charming
• The seating area outside is the best place to settle with a drink or two
• All in a all its a decent pub which is a foot place for the Farringdon contingent
