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.

 

FOLLOWING THE MOST RECENT LOCKDOWN, WE WILL BE ALLOWED TO OPEN ONLY IN THE GARDEN FROM APRIL 12th UNTIL MAY 16th

 

 Initially we plan to open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only (plus Bank Holiday Monday on May 3rd) This will be subject to to favourable weather conditions; we will not open in poor weather. Please note that is is unsafe for our staff to serve garden tables in wet conditions or darkness.

We are staying with our policy of not taking reservations for outside tables, so please do not try to contact us to make a reservation, unless it is for an inside table after May 17th. Tables in the garden will be on a first come first served basis.

 

We plan to be open from 12 noon until 7.00 pm.

The kitchen will be open from 12 noon to 6.00 pm.

 

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING OUR CUSTOMERS BACK.

Government Guidelines:

There is a maximum of 6 persons on a table (or two households). There is no requirement to have a substantial meal with alcoholic drinks. However, customers must order, eat and drink while seated at a table. Customers can only go inside to use the toilet, when facemasks must be worn. A safe distance between tables must be maintained.

If you feel unwell, stay at home, do not come to the pub.

Customers with children are responsible for supervising then at all times, so they must stay seated at the table, and maintain social distancing.

Failure to observe safety measures will result in service not being provided.
