Rose & Crown in Bebington

You know, when I popped into the Rose & Crown, it just had that classic village pub feel that's so hard to beat – right on the edge of Mayer Park, it's become a real hub for the locals. They've got an absolute belter of a beer selection, with eight hand pulls offering a mix of regulars and ever-changing guest ales from top Wirral breweries; it's perfect if you're after something special like a Brimstage session ale or a Peerless IPA. Plus, they're all about supporting the community, like backing Brighter Bebington, which gives it that extra heartwarming touch. The live music nights are a proper treat too, adding a fun energy that gets everyone in the mood for a good singalong or chat. And at inexpensive prices, it's easy to make a night of it without worrying about the wallet. On the downside, though, it can get a bit overwhelming with the noise from those gigs, making it tricky if you're hoping for a quiet catch-up. I've heard a few tales of staff not being as friendly as they could be, like skipping orders or seeming a bit off, which is a pity because it doesn't happen all the time. Still, with such a strong overall rating, it's clear most folk have a brilliant time, so I'd say it's worth giving it a go – just pick your visit wisely for the best experience.
