Truly excellent. I had not visited the place for many years. It was previously a rather dingy and tired pub. With a change of ownership and complete overhaul and repurposing, it is now a lovely village pub but also a venue for events and meals. Highly recommended.
Just popped in for a quick pint and a drink for the dogs. Nice place and well kept with a nice garden
It would have been a 5-star experience if the garden area didn't resemble a neglected building site. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant, with clean toilets – a rarity in the surrounding area. It's a pity we couldn't sample the cocktails due to the absence of a bartender.
Dinner, Saturday. We loved our date night meal at Rose & Crown. Full of stunning flavour and presented in elegant and charming ways - each dish has its own charm and leaves you wanting more! Lovely cocktails and great service too! We’ll be back ☺️
If you’re looking for a traditional village pub, then this place has moved on a lot! It apparently reopened in August 2021 following a major refurbishment, and now has the service and feel of a restaurant. Came here for Sunday lunch on the King’s Coronation weekend and the food was faultless. At £48 for 3 courses (plus 12.5% service charge) this is more expensive than most gastropubs, but the food quality is also much better. Service was friendly & attentive, and the modern dining room had a light & airy feel. Would most definitely recommend eating here, but would go elsewhere for a casual pint!

A beautifully renovated traditional pub and restaurant. We serve fresh, honest, top notch food, excellent local real ales and wine from a short but carefully-chosen list.
