Since 1st July 2024 Robin and Lynn have taken over the running of what was once the members only Residents Club. They have already made some improvements to the decor and many other changes are planned once they have relinquished responsibility for their previous pub on the 23rd August. There is already a good food menu but this will be enhanced considerably after August when Robin and Lynn bring in new cooking equipment including the eagerly awaited pizza oven.

The current opening hours are:

  • Monday closed
  • Tues – Sun 10am till close
  • Food served from 10am to 2pm in the week & again from 5pm to 8pm
  • Saturdays 10am to 8pm
  • Sunday 10am to 4pm
The full menu & launch party will be after  the Rose & Crown has closed on 23rd August. They  are already looking at dates to have some live music and  a buffet but the date is yet to be confirmed. Watch this space. Details of how to obtain you drinks discount will be put here and after the new tills that can support this have been installed and bedded in.
