Fodor's Expert Review Rose & Crown

Plain wood floorboards, comfy sofas, sturdy wooden tables, and solidly good food and drink set the tone at this contemporary gastro-pub with rooms on the town’s main square. It’s popular with locals, and the owners take pride in offering seasonal food that mixes British and international influences with only the best ingredients. The butcher that supplies the meat holds a Royal Warrant and the pub was recently named Britain’s Best Brigade, as voted by British punters. Thirteen moderately priced bedrooms provide stylish lodging in the pub and across the lane.
