The Garden Room at the Rose and Crown — long candlelit table set for dinner

Rose and Crown, Tilton on the Hill

A country pub of quiet distinction. Seasonal British cooking, considered wines and an easy sort of welcome — Wednesday to Sunday.

A Word of Welcome

Candlelight, hearth & a table set with care.

Est. Countryside DiningLeicestershire

Nestled amongst the rolling Leicestershire wolds, the Rose & Crown is a place to slow down. Our kitchen looks first to the seasons, then to the growers and producers we know by name. Whether it is a long lunch by the fire, a Sunday gathering, or an evening in the Garden Room, you will find generous cooking, considered wines and an easy sort of welcome.

"The kind of country pub you hope to stumble upon and rarely do."

From the Pass

A season of signature plates.

A changing carte written each week. A glimpse of recent plates from the kitchen — the menu itself is written the morning it is served.

Menus change with the season and the market — the plates above are a glimpse, not a promise.

Fireside

A fire lit each evening from October to April.

The SnugFireside

The snug is the heart of the pub — flagstone floors, a cast-iron stove and two deep leather chairs that seem to know when you have had a long day. Order an aperitif, take a book from the shelf and let dinner come to you.

The Snug

Seats six, first-come first-served for drinks; reservable for private aperitifs.

The Bar

Cask ales from Langton, a rotating guest and a well-chosen list of gins.
