The Rose and Crown, Nether Stowey

What a fantastic pub. A lovely fire and eating area, complete with photos on the wall of the "old boys" from the local area. What a shame the landlord and family have ruined it. The young barmaid was devoid of any warmth and appeared to sigh at any simple request from fellow diners/drinkers. She may have just been tired.

After my short evening at the Rose and Crown I truly feel that the pub has potential as a lovely, cosy drinking/eating establishment. The setting, surroundings and certainly the atmosphere are deserving of a management team worthy of the building.

The meal, although a little cold, was passable, and the waiting staff were pleasant enough.

I had heard from friends who stayed here a few years ago, that this place was a must in Nether Stowey - lots of interesting people, great atmosphere etc. What has happened? I recommend The George next door where we spent the rest of the evening in good company.
