The Rose And Crown Hotel - Warwick (Warwickshire)

Award-winning gastropub with boutique rooms in Warwick's Market Square

Accolades & Distinction

The Rose And Crown was voted Best Pub in the UK in 2004 and has featured twice in the Top Ten UK Pubs in the last 3 years. As the original Peach Pub since 2002, this establishment built its name on locally sourced, seasonal, and ethically produced food. The property's thirteen rooms are located either directly over the pub or across the lane in a 17th-century building.

Accommodation

The property offers thirteen en-suite B&B rooms, with five rooms above the pub and eight rooms across the lane in a building dating back to the 17th century. In-room tea and coffee facilities are provided, and an inclusive full English breakfast is served daily. Rooms include generous sizes; for example, Room 5 has a king bed, a single bed, plus a fold-up bed.

Dining & Drinks

Guests choose from a menu built around seasonal, locally sourced ingredients at the pub, plus a Thursday steak night deal that includes a sharer cut and a £25 wine contribution. The evening menu offers options like braised beef pie and a Sri Lankan curry, with a notable wine list available. Dining service stops at 8pm on Sundays and at 9pm for bar service, with a limited menu on Sunday evenings.

Location & Parking

The Rose & Crown sits on Warwick's Market Square, within walking distance of Warwick Castle and a short walk from the train station. Free on-street parking is available after 5 pm and all day on Sundays, while the 24-hour West Rock car park is a 2-minute walk away. Nearby attractions include the Royal Leamington Spa's Jephson Gardens and Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Pets & Business

The hotel provides pet bowls and welcomes dogs, with guest reviews noting a welcome pack for canine visitors. Private dining options are available for intimate gatherings or business events. However, the hotel has no on-site parking, no air conditioning, and some rooms are accessed via steep, narrow stairs-guests should request room details in advance.
