Just Up the Road from the Gardens
A day at Longwood Gardens deserves a proper table to match it. The Crown Tavern sits about 15 minutes away in Glen Mills, an easy drive up US Route 1 — close enough to fold into your visit, far enough to feel like its own little escape.
Inspired by the warmth of a classic British pub, The Crown pairs elevated comfort food with house-brewed beer, handcrafted cocktails, and three roaring fireplaces. Come for brunch before the gardens, or settle in for dinner after the fountain shows.
A Royal Pub for Real People — and a favorite stop for Longwood guests.
