Dating all the way back to 18th century, the Rose & Crown is a traditional pub in the town of Sandhurst offering tasty food, drinks and a welcoming atmosphere. The oldest pub in the town, which is famous for its military academy, the Rose & Crown prides itself on being an unpretentious spot where locals and tourists alike can pop in either just for a few drinks or for a hearty meal. The broad food menu covers plenty of ground, meaning that there’s something for everyone if you decide to eat at the Rose & Crown, while the pub is also dog-friendly if you happen to have a furry friend in toe.
The pub’s striking red brick exterior has an immediate appeal, while the two chimneys provide clues to the crackling fires you’ll find inside. When it comes to the interiors, warm tones and wooden panels create an ultra-cosy feel and there are plenty of corners you can tuck yourself away in with a pint. There are also regular live music and quiz nights, providing further entertainment for the locals. The Rose & Crown also benefits from a grassy beer garden which comes into its own over the summer and makes a wonderful al fresco dining destination.
There is a choice of menus on offer here depending on what you’re feeling like. The curry menu features everything from onion bhaji and a chicken korma to a green Thai curry, while a separate pizza menu provides a completely different option. The main menu, however, is available throughout the day and features pub classics such as fish and chips, hunter’s chicken, burgers, and a selection of grilled steaks. Head round on a Sunday to enjoy one of the pub’s signature roasts. Drinks-wise, as well as a good selection of real ales, there’s also a choice of wines, spirits and soft drinks available.
