The Rose & Crown — Restaurant in West Suffolk

A true gem and perfectly preserved example of a truly traditional British pub. Regulars can be found playing dominoes or darts at the front, with the lovingly cared for leatherette saloon available at the back. The cosy, compact and quiet beer garden / courtyard is great too.

How it should be. A treasure...
