The Rose & Crown

About

The Rose & Crown is a charming "chocolate box" pub nestled in the lush countryside of Thorpe, just a short drive from the M25. Celebrated as the Green King Pub of the Year 2022, it blends historic character with contemporary hospitality, offering a welcoming ambience for locals and visitors alike. The building dates back to the Queen Anne period (circa 1650) and has been a community focal point for centuries. In 1753, it gained its current name, and it has remained a favourite through owner changes, wartime gatherings, and modern adaptations. Today the pub retains its listed status, with wide step‑free access and a cosy interior that reflects its heritage. Guests can enjoy a full menu that caters to all tastes, including a dedicated vegan, vegetarian, and non‑gluten‑containing menu, as well as a children’s menu and Sunday roasts until 5 pm. The outdoor garden area boasts dining pods, huts, and a play space for kids, and well‑behaved dogs are welcome to join the family‑friendly atmosphere. Friendly staff and a relaxed, village‑pub charm make The Rose & Crown a perfect destination for a leisurely meal, a casual drink, or a memorable event.
