Rose and Crown in Sutton in Ashfield

Ah, the Rose and Crown, it's one of those pubs that just feels like a second home, you know? From what I've gathered, it's got this wonderful traditional atmosphere with a miners theme and some cracking old pictures that really bring the history to life. The staff are absolute stars, always up for a chat and making sure everyone feels welcome, whether you're a local or just passing through. They've nailed the beer selection too, with a solid range of ales and guest brews that keep things interesting and aren't too pricey. And if you're up for a bit of fun, there are games like darts and pool to dive into – perfect for a group get-together. On the flip side, it's a shame they don't do full meals, just some crisps, so if you're peckish for more than that, you might have to plan ahead. Plus, their online presence is a bit dodgy, and the opening times can seem confusing, but once you're there, it's all worth it for that genuine pub experience. Overall, it's a top spot if you're after a friendly pint and a good laugh, but maybe not the first choice for a fancy dinner.
