The CrownInn, Biggar

The Crown occupies a 17th-century coaching inn building at 109-111 High Street in Biggar and is run by Joanna and Matt under The Crown Inn (Biggar) Limited, a company registered at Companies House. The pub was named CAMRA Lanarkshire Pub of the Year in 2016 and went on to take the CAMRA Glasgow and West of Scotland regional title in 2017, recognition tied to its cask ale range, which typically runs to six real ales on tap alongside a gin selection numbering in the dozens. Food service runs from midday to half past eight most days, with a Sunday carvery at lunchtime, and the bar and beer garden stay open later into the evening. The building has had a sympathetic refurbishment rather than a full modernisation, keeping the coaching-inn layout and fabric largely intact. It is a single, independently run pub rather than part of a managed or brewery-tied estate, distinguishing it from pub-company-owned houses elsewhere in the area.
