Here we go again, just as Shaun was getting the Rose back on its feet!
Hopefully the new landlady will pay more attention to waiting customers than she has demonstrated during the couple of times I've been in there over the last few days - otherwise, the regulars and others will desert the place again. Thankfully, we've got two excellent alternatives in the Village and Oak Taverns would be well advised to remember that fact.

Quite right marinetank0. The Abbot Ale's the best pint ever and all the real ales are perfectly kept. You can't beat this pub if you appreciate beer!!

Went in there for a beer this afternoon to find just one bitter available - walked over the road and there's plenty of choice.

My wife and I have have been drinking in the Rose for over 30 years. It's a lovely pub, it has been refurbished recently and has great potential. We have seen so many landlords come and go over the years and we just hope that Shaun, who has now taken it over, will really make a success of it. He has started well and has a number of initiatives in hand or planned and we hope he can realise the pub's full potential.

The Rose and Crown, Sandridge
At last - in Steve and Lizzie, we have a pub landlord and lady wife who really understand the business. In the six months they have been here, the Rose and Crown has regained its rightful position as the best pub in Sandridge. The beer, (particularly the Inspiration!) has improved no end, the food, (particularly the mussels) that is served, is faultless, and the ambience is now a delight.
BUT HEY - Oak Taverns have clearly shot themselves in the foot as they have relinquished the lease, and, yet again, an excellent landlord who has proven that he can make this pub really work, will shortly be leaving :-(
On behalf of all those who have supported the Rose and Crown for many years (in my case,35) let's have some consistency of management - let's hope that the new landlord maintains, and even improves on the exceptionally standards set by Steve and Lizzie - they'll be sorely missed!!
