From hunting lodge to award-winning pub
The Rose & Crown has stood here since 1650, originally built as a Queen Anne hunting lodge. Over the centuries it’s become one of Egham’s most recognisable pubs — and one of Barons’ most awarded.
Pub of the Year 2021. Pub Garden of the Year 2025. We joined Barons in 2007, and the team here has built something worth visiting.
The pub
The interior retains the charm of the original hunting lodge: characterful rooms and warm lighting. Dogs are welcome in all garden areas and in part of the bar, though not in the raised seating area.
The garden
Our award-winning garden (Pub Garden of the Year 2025) features huts, pods, a play area, and all-year seating. It’s a garden that works in every season — from summer afternoons to crisp winter evenings with a drink by the heaters.
Events and community
Our quiz runs on the last Monday of the month, and we’re near Virginia Water for walks. We’re a fixture in Egham — one that’s been here for centuries.
