The Crown at Woolhope is the best
Of that there is no question
Mine host and hostess Slocombes both
Have reached a new dimension
For two years now they’ve served us well
For which we are most grateful
With Curry Nights and takeaways
You’re guaranteed a plateful
There’s tasty food that’s well prepared
Washed down with finest ales
There’s perry, cider and fine wines
And lots of village tales
The staff are great and lots of fun
You’re guaranteed a laugh
“Your glass is empty, Sir,” they say
“Another pint”, not ’alf!
There’s Heather, Chloe, Jack and Dom
With Ula, Will and Jo
We must include young Nicole too
Though she’s about to go
If sport’s your game the Crown’s the name
It really sets the scene
You watch the match with all your mates
On Matt’s big pull-down screen
The locals are so well behaved
They’ve been well trained by Matt
Who runs a lively, friendly pub
But won’t put up with crap!
The Crown’s the hub of village life
There’s always entertainment
From Gourmet Nights to Morris Men
It’s money that’s well spent
To Annaliesa and to Matt
Long may your reign continue
I’ll raise a glass and wish you well
With heart and nerve and sinew!
