The Rose & Crown in Welling

Ah, The Rose & Crown in Welling – it's one of those classic pubs that you can't help but appreciate for its homely charm. From what I've gathered, the staff are just brilliant, always up for a chat and making everyone feel at ease, which really adds to the welcoming vibe. The drinks selection is spot on, with plenty of options on tap that are surprisingly affordable, and if you're in the mood for food, their BBQ dishes like the ribs and wings are proper treats that I'd recommend giving a go. It's got that family-friendly feel too, with live music popping up now and then to liven things up. On the flip side, though, there are a couple of whispers about the new owners potentially shaking things up in a not-so-great way, with one recent comment noting it felt a bit deserted and off-form. Still, with its solid reputation overall, I'd say it's worth swinging by for a pint and seeing for yourself – just keep an eye out for those off days, as pubs can have their ups and downs like anything else.
