History to the present day

Originally a 14th century coaching inn, The Rose and Crown was used as a stop-over for those bringing prisoners from the continent and Suffolk en route to London. The hotel still has a prison of which two cells with original doors can be seen.

Many of the beams and windows are original. The fireplace in the Tudor bar, which is in the oldest part of the hotel, has a roaring log fire in the winter.

The Tudor bar serves its own Rose and Crown ale as well as traditional food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Our Oakroom restaurant offers casual dining in a contemporary setting serving great tasting, well presented food at reasonable prices and a wine list that is varied and great value.
