"A traditional pub with plenty of screens for sports. The weather was nice, so we sat outside.
When I ordered, I told the staff our table had no number. He sent me back to check, but I returned empty-handed — and he politely admitted the mistake.
I had their award-winning steak & Ruddles ale pie, served with thick-cut chips, mushy peas, and rich merlot beef dripping gravy. It was absolutely delicious — rich, tender, and just right.
Good portion, fair price, quick service. This pub really exceeded my expectations. I’d definitely go back!"

Rose & Crown in Stratford-upon-Avon
The original Rose & Crown was situated at no.1 Sheep Street, next to the town hall and is mentioned in Wheelers History as one of the town’s principle inns. It was in the late 1850s that the original hostelry closed and the name was transferred to an inn at the current site, formally called the Green Dragon. Records for this location go back as far as 1596 when a major fire burnt down most of the property in Sheep Street.
