Regional Manager's Thoughts

The New Crown is a well presented, traditional pub nestled in a residential area. The pub has a strong community customer base but also benefits from passing trade with the high street a short distance away. This is a great business opportunity for either an experienced or first-time publican, who can develop and build upon the pub’s current trade.

Surrounding Area

Located in the heart of the fens, Whittlesey is a market town six miles from Peterborough with good road and rail links. The New Crown is 400 meters from the town centre but feels like a village pub, located within a residential area, but is close enough to the town to attract additional trade.
