The Rose & Crown

Upper Farringdon

A countryside pub built around great food, warm hospitality and good company.

Welcome to The Rose & Crown

Nestled in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, just outside Alton and surrounded by the rolling hills of the South Downs, The Rose & Crown is a place to relax, unwind and enjoy exceptional food in a beautiful rural setting.

 

Run by husband-and-wife team Ryan and Sarah Rainier, the pub celebrates the very best of seasonal British cooking, complemented by subtle influences from their South African heritage. Their menus blend quality local ingredients with bold flavours and a passion for honest, memorable food.

 

Their vision is simple: to create a welcoming country pub where great food, genuine hospitality and a relaxed atmosphere bring people together. Whether you're joining us for a leisurely lunch, a special celebration or an evening with friends, you'll always receive a warm welcome at The Rose & Crown.

Food is at the heart of everything we do at The Rose & Crown.

Chef-owner Ryan Rainier brings a wealth of international experience to a menu that celebrates the very best of seasonal British produce.

Our menus change regularly to reflect the seasons, making the most of the freshest ingredients available and ensuring there's always something new to discover. We work closely with trusted local suppliers wherever possible, sourcing high-quality produce that allows each ingredient to shine.

Whether you're joining us for a relaxed lunch, an evening meal or a special occasion, you can expect thoughtfully crafted dishes, bold flavours and a menu that's always evolving with the seasons.
