Hi Les,

Yes, the Old Crown is indeed one which has its own brewery. Sorry, don't know about the Skiddaw Hotel - I did have a look at BT directory for Martin Jordan, but can't find him there. He and his wife used to run the Highfield Hotel in Keswick which he used to run
Their numbe - if you want to try them to see if they have his number - is 017687 72508

Good luck!

Sue
