The Rose and Crown, Halstead

I visited this pub a few weeks ago on the recommendation of a friend of the owner having been told it was a lovely country pub. When I arrived I was greeted by someone shouting in the street outside and within moments I realized that a fight had occurred. I left immediately. Seemingly there are significant problems here. Do any other reviewers have a comment on this because it was a stupid waste of my time. I have taken the trouble to join BITE just to comment on this and will not be going back. I have read through the historic reviews and the pub was a regular winner of a camra award. Whoever is in charge of this place has made a complete and utter mess of it. Is there a reason? Are they trying to get it closed and turn it into a development site or what? Most foolish.
