This was the first Honesty coffee shop, and where it all began. A pub with rooms and restaurant as well as a coffee shop and plenty of outside seating, set in a very picturesque setting. The Crown and Garter is open 7 days a week, and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner to our residents, locals and tourists.   

“One of the reasons I went into the hospitality industry was to create working conditions like these. If I was a chef, this would be my dream job.”
– Romilla Arber, Owner, Honesty Group
