"On the 3rd June I went to the Crown to meet old school friends. I parked my car and went into the pub for a few hours. I didn't see the small Pay Display sign which is adjacent to the entrance of the car-park. My attention was fixed on not trying to run people over or crash into any other parks cars. Yes, I accept it was partly may fault, I should have noticed the sign. It is there but its positioned right at the point where youre concentrating on not killing other customers and is easy to miss, I checked on Google Street View. I didn't see any other signs displayed (have you paid diaplayed) either on the entry into the pub or inside.....I cant see any on Street View either. To be honest, I cant see any pay display meters either on Street View. What a great way to treat new customers! Slap them with an £85 fine for the pleasure of visiting their venue. What I find even more annoying than me missing the small sign, is the Crown's own security staff watched me park and walk straight to the pub without warning me of the parking charge! A pub I shall not visit again for obvious reasons and I would seriously advise prospective new customers to be aware of the parking fines there. I've paid the fine as I did park there and didn't get a ticket. But dear Crown, you really need to make the signage better with repeater signs such as other reputable car-parks use. I feel like I've been fleeced!"
