The Rose & Crown

You'll find The Rose & Crown tucked on Cheapside, that narrow strip between the Georgian Quarter and the city centre where locals still outnumber tourists. It's the kind of place where you can nurse a pint of something interesting without feeling like you need to dress up or understand a drinks menu written in riddles. The exposed brick and warm lighting give it that lived-in pub feel—somewhere that's been doing its thing for years and doesn't feel the need to shout about it. Food's straightforward and honest, the sort of stuff that pairs well with a proper beer.
