The Rose & Crown Inn

This charming 16th-century inn, originally a butcher's shop, boasts a rich history and a welcoming atmosphere. Once providing stabling for 20 horses, the establishment's owner in 1537 is documented as brewing mead for his employees. Over time, the ale business flourished, transforming the place into an ale house, now recognized as the oldest in the Old Town. The inn features two bars, one of which houses an original fireplace adorned with intriguing medieval graffiti. Adding to its unique character, the inn is also rumored to be haunted. Despite these historical elements, the inn remains a comfortable and inviting place to relax and enjoy a meal. The bars serve delicious pub food, including a well-priced Sunday lunch. For those who prefer dining al fresco, the inn also offers a recently renovated patio garden. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a food lover, or simply looking for a unique and cozy place to unwind, this 16th-century inn promises a memorable experience.
