We had the pensioners special, two courses for £10 each and we were very impressed. Plenty for us to eat with fresh veg and very tasty sausages. The waitress was really friendly and helpful.

Just come back from an overnight stay and can honestly say it was great. The carpark is easily accessible and every one of the staff were so friendly and helpful. The rooms are a bit tired but they are clean and the beds were really comfy. But full English breakfast is amazing, all freshly cooked and hot. Definitely going back to stay again.

I Spent a pleasant evening playing backgammon in the bar room. The Clitheroe & Ribble Valley Backgammon Club meet there every Monday evening at 6:30 - all are welcome. I enjoyed a pint of Hobgoblin Ruby while playing and found everyone (staff and customers) at the Rose & Crown friendly. A nice place to spend an evening.
