The Crown is a Grade II-listed village pub at Broughton, out in the arable country north-east of Huntingdon. Locals bought and now run it co-operatively, and it cooks ambitious seasonal food well above the usual village-pub range. Open for lunch and dinner; worth booking, as it draws people from some distance for a quiet place.
