The Crown and Cushion

WARM AND WELCOMING

Open to all and serving wholesome dishes for everyone to enjoy.

The quintessential village local

The Crown & Cushion is one of those lucky finds. The local’s best-kept secret that you happen to pass on a country stroll or on a trip home. And you know, the moment you arrive, you’re happy to have found it. Nothing beats home – and you’ll feel it, here, at The Crown & Cushion. Our 18th-century village pub is located in the heart of Welburn, North Yorkshire, near the historic Castle Howard. Serving a classic British menu and proper pints, everyone and their dog has a place with us. So, stop by and say hello.

Come back for more

We’re a village staple at The Crown & Cushion. And we pride ourselves on giving every guest, first-timer or regular, the same Yorkshire welcome.

Throughout the year, we host a mix of events and offers to give you the perfect excuse to drop by, share a meal, or stay for a drink or two.

Stroll on in

Our traditional village pub has kept its old country charm, with its roaring wood-burning stoves and original wooden beams.

We have three separate dining areas, a private dining room and a large garden terrace at the rear. There’s plenty to get tucked into.

Always worth the journey

Make it a meal to remember

Whatever the occasion, we leave nothing to chance. Our private dining space is fit for intimate dinners, business meetings and milestone celebrations. So, next time you’re looking to raise a glass, give us a call.

You’re at home here

Sometimes, nothing beats a hearty meal in a cosy setting. Our team has a knack for making every guest feel at home, so all you have to do is sit back, enjoy a great meal and relax. We’re all about making life simple, with great service and a smile.

Surrounded by Yorkshire heritage

We’re not lying when we say we’ve got it good here. Our village pub is just a stone's throw away from Castle Howard and sits within the beautiful Howardian Hills National Landscape. You can’t get more Yorkshire than that.

OUR FOOD

Award-winning, locally sourced food

We live by one simple value: fresh, locally sourced and seasonally led food. Nothing too fancy. Just simple, delicious dishes that leave everyone happy.

Serving the best Yorkshire has to offer

Knowing the origin of each ingredient we use is just one part of our commitment to provenance. That’s why we only source from local suppliers – the folks we like to call family.
