I visited Watford’s oldest pub The One Crown which is almost 300 years old to see how times have changed.
"Watford's oldest pub" has revealed how it evolved to survive the cost of living crisis and is set to reopen a bar outside.
Now almost 300 years on, landlady Sophie Luckett, 31, explained that the venue has undergone a few changes since she took over in February 2022.Sophie, who grew up in Watford and lives in Garston, said: “The customers have changed and we lost a few regulars. Some like to just have it as a quiet pub to have a few drinks but obviously that doesn't bring much money and profit.”
“When you go to some pubs, it can feel not very welcoming. Before it was an older crowd, but now it's more of a mix of ages and everyone gets along.”
