The pub

A Cotgrave pub since 1876

The Rose and Crown has stood on Main Road since at least 1876. A full refurbishment brought it back to life in 2024, and it’s a proper village local again: open fires, old beams, real ales, good food and a warm welcome. Families are welcome, and so are dogs.

Timothy Taylor Landlord and Robinsons Trooper are always on, with a changing guest ale.
