Rose & Crown

With well trained, friendly staff, a fine range of drinks, excellent food and stylish bedrooms it is hardly surprising that this lovely inn remains a firm favourite with so many customers. The two main bars have distinct character and simple charm, with an open fire and woodburning stove, old quarry tiles or coir flooring, upholstered wall seating and wooden tables and chairs, candles on mantelpieces and daily papers. There are stools against the bar where locals enjoy real ales such as Adnams Broadside and Southwold, Eagle IPA, Woodfordes Wherry and a regularly changing guest on handpump; also, a dozen wines by the glass, around 20 gins (including local ones), seasonal cocktails and jugs of sangria, local cider and fresh fruit juices. A small wood-floored back room has old sports equipment, the landlord's sporting trophies and photos of the pub-sponsored village cricket team. The civilised little restaurant (decorated in soft greys) has cushions and picture mounts with splashes of bright green and cream candles in antique brass candlesticks. At the back of the building, two rooms make up the airy Garden Room, with sofas, wooden farmhouse and white-painted dining chairs around a mix of circular and square tables, church candles in crown-shaped holders, attractive striped blinds and doors that lead to the pretty walled garden. Here there are plenty of contemporary seats and tables underneath parasols, outdoor heaters, colourful herbaceous borders and a wooden galleon-shaped climbing structure for children.The 16 bedrooms are spacious and individually decorated and breakfasts very good. Disabled lavatories and wheelchair ramp. Sister pub is the Bank House in King's Lynn.
