Come along with friends, or come along to make new friends, and have a great time with us at The Rose and Crown!

We re-opened under new ownership on the 5th July!

Come on over and meet the new landlord, Tommy!

Tommy has run several pub restaurants in North West Essex, and has a passion for sailing and being by the water, so when this pub came up on the Quay, well, how could they resist?
