The Crown Hotel Exciting plans for The Crown
The Crown Hotel was delighted to purchase buildings on Scot Lane in Bawtry at the end of 2019, and leasing to new takeaway owners the Bull House Chinese, offering takeaway food into Bawtry and the surrounding areas: a great addition to the Crown Hotel and Bawtry Hall portfolio. Craig Dowie, Managing Director, said: “We
wish Bull House Chinese all the best with the new venture and are pleased to be leasing our new premises to such a great team and amazing Chinese food – if you haven’t yet tried it – it’s a must!”
January commenced with the refurbishment
of the Hogarth Wedding Suite. The ‘new look’ suite will boast wooden flooring, chandeliers and a classic grey and white colour scheme.
The Hogarth’s lounge area and booths will
also be revamped in line with the main space. April will see the restoration of the Hotel’s
frontage, bringing with it an outdoor terrace for alfresco dining and drinking, with the proposed design reflects a contemporary aesthetic, intended to promote ultimate guest comfort and enjoyment of the new outdoor space. Sales Director Katey Dent said: “This is an
exciting time for The Crown and Bawtry. We wanted to bring our guests plenty of al fresco charm for lunch, dinner or drinks, where you can enjoy the exciting Crown menu.” The plan is in line with the ambitious Neighbourhood Development Plan that will help guide regeneration across the Bawtry and Doncaster region up to 2032.
