The Crown pub in Kings Heath has been acquired by Davenports, and the brewer has pledged to restore the venue’s original name.

Crown Kings Heath

The pub, once owned by Stonehouse, will close on 27th  August for a refurbishment and re-open as the Kings Arms.

“In a former life the pub was called the Kings Arms and was rebranded into The Crown, which did not go down well with customers,” said Katie McPhilimey, associate marketing director at Davenports.

“Our team will breathe new life into the pub transforming it into a My Local by Davenports and reinstate its former, fine name!”

Katie added: “The My Local pubs within our portfolio offer all the familiar comforts one would expect from their local — great value food, a super drinks line-up, all the sport that people love on the TV screens, and free live entertainment at the weekends.

“Our My Local pubs make the customers spend a rewarding experience.”
