Rose & Crown Chorley

Ah, the Rose & Crown in Chorley – it's one of those pubs that feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are absolute stars, always hospitable and creating that easy-going atmosphere that's just right for sinking a pint and chatting with friends. I love how it's got these unexpected perks, like the stable block that's been turned into a cosy spot with booths and a pool table – it's a real treat if you're up for a game or two. And with TVs dotted all over, it's spot on for catching the latest match without missing a beat. Folks like Caroline and MADDOGLEP really rave about it, especially for a good day out or events. But, to be fair, it's not all roses; one review mentioned a whiff of something off-putting, like a dirty toilet, which could spoil the mood when you first step inside. Plus, it seems a bit quieter than it used to be, with not as many people popping in, and that might make it feel a tad subdued on some evenings, especially since other pubs nearby have shut up shop. Overall, I'd say it's worth checking out if you're in Chorley and fancy a relaxed spot, but maybe plan to go with a group to keep things lively – it's got that solid 4.2 rating going for it, after all, so the good bits definitely shine through.
