The pub has a good choice of beers on tap.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm the match. If a particular game matters, confirm which screens will show it before settling in.
Try Sunday. Sunday is worth considering for the roast, which one visitor found generous and good value.
Check promotions. Ask about current happy-hour terms before ordering, since another review found deals subject to conditions.
Clarify cocktails. If ordering a Moscow Mule, confirm the drink includes ginger beer before it is made.
Mind smoke. Non-smokers should keep the reported ventilation issue in mind when choosing where to sit.

The Bottom Line
Crown & Lion is a straightforward English pub in Trade Centre built around casual food, drinks and sport. You can watch games on large screens, order pub favourites such as fish and chips, or come for the Sunday roast. The atmosphere shifts with the schedule: reviews mention live music, DJs, quiz nights and a lively crowd, while the outdoor area is described as cozy for a slower evening.
Food feedback is mostly positive, with several comments about generous portions. The Sunday roast for two was reported as enough to take home, and other named dishes include seafood pasta, shrimp fajitas, nachos and lamb chops. Tap beers and drink promotions are also recurring draws, though one reviewer found the deals subject to terms and conditions.
This is not always a quiet or smoothly managed sports bar. A recent visitor objected to loud DJ music, while another said the TVs were changed from football to tennis at half-time. Older reviews also describe incorrect orders, long waits and weak complaint handling.
Smokers may affect indoor comfort, as ventilation has been criticised. For the best fit, confirm the match and current promotion before ordering, and ask about the outdoor seating if smoke or loud music would bother you. A past review reported the pub staying open until 3am, but check current hours before making a late-night plan.
