A proper pub in a perfect place

The Rose & Crown is in the heart of the idyllic village of Shilton, two miles south of Burford, in the Cotswolds. Dating back to the 17th Century, it is a traditional Cotswold stone inn, with original beams and a log fire in each of the two rooms. In warm weather, customers can enjoy dining and drinking at the dozen tables in the charming garden. Well supported by local residents, it manages to combine being a friendly village ‘local’, as well as a destination food pub.

TEMPORARY PUB CLOSURE

It is with deep regret that, following the Prime Minister’s instruction that the public should not go to pubs, due to the coronavirus pandemic, I have had no alternative than to close the Shilton Rose & Crown, until the government decides that it is OK for us to go to pubs again.

 

Award winning freehold pub

The Rose & Crown is a freehold pub: owned and run by Martin, and is featured in The Michelin Guide 2018, the Good Pub Guide & the Alastair Sawday’s Guide to Pubs & Inns in England & Wales.

All meals are cooked to order by chef/Landlord Martin Coldicott (Connaught Hotel trained) and head chef Mike Evans

Fresh produce is locally sourced whenever possible, pork, beef and lamb coming from local Oxfordshire farms.

At the bar ten wines are available by the glass from the carefully selected wine list, and among the draught choices are Old Hooky and Young’s Bitter, as well as a regularly changing third guest ale.
