Inside the pub where Banksy reportedly drinks - £55 bottles of champagne and stuffed squirrels

A "heaving" Glastonbury pub rumoured to be where Banksy drinks sells £55 bottles of champagne and has stuffed squirrels as decor.

Locals in a picturesque village say it's been “heaving” since re-opening after a £1m refurb, with some claiming Banksy invested in the project. Reports suggest the anonymous graffiti artist is part of a group who invested the seven-figure sum in The Crown in Pilton, near Glastonbury, last year.

Owain Powell - who currently runs the pub with partner Rowena Draper - has denied Banksy was involved. But locals in the sleepy village claim the pub has never been busier since it re-opened in November last year - with one saying Banksy is rumoured to have a house nearby.
