About The Rose & Crown
The Rose & Crown pub originally began in the 14th century as a coaching inn. Due to its location on the ancient travelling corridors of Kent it became a regular resting point for travellers and horses. The building itself orginates back to the 1300's and was built using stone and timber from the Archbishop's palace. It is possible due to it's long history, that as well as the family that currently run the pub there is also an additional lodger...
Some may say, when the pub is quiet and the lamps dim, you may feel the presence in the corner - a lingering spirit of another era.
We affectionately refer to her as Elenor, Elenor is our mischievous spirit, she is known to bang doors, and will regularly knock drinks off of the tables. Our regular patrons can tell you many stories about Elenor...
So on behalf of Kate, Daryl, family and of course Elenor, we wish you a happy visit. Please let us know if there is anything we can do o make your visit as enjoyable as possible, and please remember if you are on Elenor's table, hold onto your drinks!!!
A proper community pub, we provide ales, hearty food and a social bar - with muddy boots, walkers and well-behaved dogs all welcome.
Heart of the village
Located right in the middle of the high street, it’s the heart of the village in every sense.
Kentish ales from Shepherd Neame are served alongside seasonal ales, regular guest beers from micro-breweries and an excellent selection of wines - all of which are perhaps best enjoyed beside one of two roaring fires in winter or warmer months on the patio.
