About Us

Our Journey: A Local
Pub Reborn

The Rose & Crown isn’t just a pub; it’s a testament to community spirit and a passion for bringing a beloved institution back to life. For ten long years, our doors were closed, the heart of Aston village dimmed. But that silence ended when a dedicated group of local residents came together, driven by a shared vision to restore this traditional English pub to its former glory.

Welcome to The Rose & Crown

A community pub with heart.

The Rose & Crown was revived with one simple idea: to create a warm, lively local where everyone feels at home. Whether you are popping in for a pint, sharing a meal or meeting friends, there is always a welcome waiting for you in Aston.

We are proud to bring together great food, proper drinks and the kind of friendly atmosphere that turns a quick visit into a favourite tradition.

The Rose & Crown way

More than a place to eat and drink.

From a quiet coffee to a lively night out, we make room for the moments that bring people together.

Good food, made to share

Classic British favourites sit alongside vibrant Thai flavours created by our Head Chef, Mel Thomas — with plenty of reasons to come back for another plate.

A proper local welcome

Meet friends over a real ale, take a break with coffee and cake, or settle in for a relaxed meal. Every visit should feel easy and friendly.

Part of the community

Live music, quizzes, food nights and family events keep the diary full. We are also delighted to welcome well-behaved dogs and their people.

The people behind the pub

A team that makes you feel at home.

Led by Harley and supported by a brilliant front-of-house team, we care about the small things that make a visit special: a friendly hello, great service and a relaxed atmosphere from the moment you arrive.

In the kitchen, Head Chef brings together comforting British pub classics and the aromatic flavours of Thailand. Expect favourites from Fish & Chips and Sunday Roasts to the much-loved monthly Thai buffet.
