There’s no need to break out the Risk board to relive the ye old days of the British Empire’s global domination. Instead, locals have flocked to Crown and Anchor for years to get a properly poured pint and classic British fare, from steak and mushroom pie to a veg curry (because the British didn’t expand to India for nothing). Sure, folks can’t recount their strategies about boundary expansion, but they can partake in the British pastime of complaining about the weather over a foamy English ale.
