The Rose and Crown, Halstead

My name is Vanda Wilson, im 23 years old and i have lived in this beautiful village all my life, in the past 10 years i have worked in both the local pubs(The Rose and Crown, The Cock Inn) and i have the pleasure of knowing most, if not all locals, most of which are very friendly. I worked in the Cock inn for almost 4 years with Mark and Jo and was one of the chefs there and i worked as a barmaid in the rose and crown for approx 3 and half years with Joy and Bob. I feel i should post a comment for the genuine users of this website that want an honest review of a boozer. Due to the politics that all small villages suffer, the village is currently divided into 2 where the pubs are concerned, as some may know bob was the old landlord of the Rose and Crown and is now new management at the cock and Paul is the new management of the Rose and Crown. For loyalty to Bob alot of his customers feel the need to invent bad comments on the rose and crown, (if you check certain users, you will notice not only have they only commented once, but also they choose to hide there profiles,These are the comments that have "BRING BACK BOB" mostly.) I drink in the Rose and crown most evenings and it is the same as always, the drink, the people, the atmosphere the food (although i would say the food ,in my own opinion, is probably better than it was) its a fantastic village pub and i would recommend it to anyone. The Cock is also a lovely village pub that has a lot to offer, bob and his famous team have been working very hard for the 3 months they have been there, the pub looks amazing, great locals and so on, i will say the food is not as good as it was from when i was cooking there, but then that would be very biased, but hey, ive always had a big head. So to sum up, if your in Halstead looking for a great pub, we are very very fortunate to have two, please visit both as i would love to see both pubs remain open and i hope that this petty "my pub, is better than your pub" silly game ends soon, and the village can return to normal, because life is too short for this c##p x
