| Another pub which I always make a point of visiting when in town. Best GK Mild for miles around and the pub is a bit of a "time-warp". Near the brewery and just off the town centre. A couple of bars and what looks like an old "Jug and Bottle". Beers are IPA; Abbot; Mild and guest (Hook Norton Old Hooky on this visit). I got chatting to the landlady and she knew many of the people I worked with in Bury but she was surprised to find I was not a "local" from down the road as she had thought, but actually all the way from Berkshire! mcroyal - 27 Nov 2010 11:10 |
| Used to go there daily whilst at school in the late '70's but had an odd experience one day... Walked in and the landlady's daughter accused my friend and I of making some sort of 'prank' phone call. It seems that her first husband was 'carrying on' with a newer, slimmer model (male or female-we never found out) and it was something to do with that. Should've sued and got free beer for life! greenarrow - 8 Aug 2010 00:55 |
| This pub has hardly changed in my lifetime, went in recently after 10 years away from Bury and it seemed the same as it ever was. No frills, just a proper local pub, possibly the last in Bury town centre. I've only been down a couple of times recently, but usually one guest on and then GK ales. The only place in town (that I know of) to sell Greene King XX Mild, which I am rather fond of. This pub is family run, and all the more special in a town where the usual style of my pub management is to try and shoehorn a square bar type peg into a round historical pub hole hole. Long may the Rose and Crown continue unchanged. (oh, and food wise you can pick up snacks like beans on toast for a couple of quid). Shatners_Bassoon - 30 Oct 2009 09:46 |

| Old-School pub. If it feels a bit quiet and reserved when you arrive, have faith! The ales are easily the best on offer in my hometown.Awesome draught Abbot/Abbot reserve.Silky smooth. Quaint interior,vinyl floors,ladies darts team in residence. Full of that thing Greene King will regret chasing and ripping out of virtually all the other pubs in Bury......character and genuine friendly landlord/lady. Don't come here for luminous over-priced cocktails and designer-posers.This is no-bull original Suffolk boozer. The last of the greats in Bury,my hometown for 30 years.And i love a pint! toolster - 11 Dec 2008 17:55 |
