Rose & Crown Hotel

30 Market Pl, Warwick

In Warwick’s quiet town centre, the small unpretentious Rose & Crown pub hums with activity from the moment it opens. Friendly staff and lively chatter fill the interior along with red walls and comfy mahogany leather chairs. The pub’s bar is the meeting point for locals and even if you start out somewhere else, you’ll probably end up here. Bag a table in an alcove where you can try head chef Rob Hartwell’s seasonal creations – think leek and artichoke risotto with smoked pollock or pan-fried Welsh sea bass in a spinach and mushroom cream sauce. Upstairs, you’ll find five guest rooms with spacious bathrooms. Doubles from £75.
