Staff at this Bushey pub have been "fighting over" a new popular dish, its owner has said, while unveiling a new summer menu.

The Three Crowns in High Road launched its updated food offering on Monday, May 13, as the landlords Kris and Bobbi Prowse prepare for the warmer weather.  

The couple met while working there in 2018, and even got engaged in its garden two years later, before they were invited to take the pub on by former landlord Michael Duffy last September.

“We’ve got a homemade pork and apple sausage roll, which the staff have essentially been fighting over.”

All the dishes were created by landlord and head chef Kris and are made fresh on site.

"We pride ourselves on being a really nice pub that does good food, it’s home-cooked and it’s good value,” Bobbi added.

Since taking over last year, the couple have made renovations to the inside and outside, as they redecorated the restaurant area and got new furniture in the autumn.

They also recently swapped the marquee in the back garden for a new pergola, which has freed-up space and will provide covered seating for the summer.

“We are very fortunate in that we have the support of our community and all our new and long-standing customers,” she said.
