Hot Fuzz, 2007
From the makers of the smash
hit comedy, Shaun of the Dead. Top London cop, PC Nicholas Angel, finds himself
reassigned to the sleepy village of Sandford.
With garden fetes and neighbourhood watch meetings replacing the action of the
city, Angel struggles to adapt to his situation and finds himself partnered with
Danny Butterman; an oafish but well meaning young Constable.

Just as all seems lost, a series of grisly accidents motivates Angel into
action. Convinced of foul play, Angel realises that Sandford may not be as
idyllic as it seems.
Much of Hot Fuzz was filmed in Wells, with The Crown an integral part of the
story and featuring in many of the background shots ~ we are The Crown at Sandford!
The interior of The Crown was, in fact, The Royal Standard of England, England's
oldest freehouse, in Forty Green, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire ~

Rolf
Harris was a welcome guest at The Crown during his visit to Wells in June 2007.
Rolf stayed overnight on Friday evening and dined in The Crown’s restaurant,
Anton’s Bistrot, along with members of The Hilliard Society.
Rolf was pleased to pose for photographs outside The Crown and sign autographs
for delighted fans of all ages.
“Rolf was a fantastic guest. It was funny to see so many people doing a
double-take, with some asking if it really was him,” said fellow Australian Kris
Whybro, front of house manager at The Crown. “He was full of great anecdotes and
gave an impromptu lesson on controlled breathing to a chap outside The Crown who
was learning to play the didgeridoo." |
