🚇 Hyde
Park
Corner
🍺 £7.00
Estrella
❤️
A
pleasant
but
expensive
Greene
King
pub.
.
The
Rose
&
Crown
is
located
on
a
quiet
side
street
just
off
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
Piccadilly.
The
nearest
tube
station
is
Hyde
Park
Corner
which
is
a
five
minute
walk
away.
.
This
pub
is
steeped
in
history
and
was
apparently
used
by
Oliver
Cromwell's
henchmen
mid
17th
century.
The
original
name
of
this
pub
was
The
Greyhound
with
the
present
name
adopted
by
1763,
this
pub
was
rebuilt
in
1889.
.
The
pub
has
a
striking
facade
with
detailed
stonework
up
the
sides
and
around
the
upper
windows.
The
decor
here
is
traditional
with
lots
of
dark
wood
and
brass
fixtures
and
fittings.
The
seating
is
a
mix
of
poser
tables
at
the
front
and
centre
and
low
level
seating
at
the
rear.
Around
the
walls
are
pictures
of
historical
gentry
and
a
couple
of
TV’s
showing
live
sport.
The
servery
is
a
good
size
so
getting
served
is
easy.
Upstairs
is
additional
seating
and
function
room.
.
Now
on
to
the
beer,
the
line
up
was
ok
but
all
the
cask
was
unavailable.
I
decided
on
a
pint
of
Estrella,
my
pint
was
nice
but
cost
£7!!!
I
was
gobsmacked
at
this
price
point
as
I
can’t
see
the
justification.
Earlier
this
day
I
visited
The
Goat
Tavern
(Greene
King)
which
is
a
ten
minute
walk
away
and
the
same
pint
cost
£6.50.
I
visited
The
Lord
Raglan
(Greene
King)
near
St
Paul’s
Cathedral
back
in
the
summer
and
an
Estrella
cost
£5.50!
@greeneking_official
this
pricing
is
inconsistent.
.
The
Lady
who
served
was
lovely
and
efficient.
The
atmosphere
here
was
upbeat
and
there
was
a
good
crowd
in.
There
was
a
large
group
Spanish
ladies
in
sampling
the
British
cuisine
and
a
few
day
trippers
dotted
around.
I
managed
to
catch
the
first
half
of
the
Manchester
derby
along
with
a
table
of
fellas
in
for
the
footy.
.
The
@roseandcrownw1
is
a
pleasant
pub
in
traditional
surroundings
and
does
a
good
job
of
looking
after
its
punters.
The
beer
price
is
ridiculous
and
just
says
“Tourist
Trap”.
Hopefully
Greene
King
review
its
pricing
here,
you
can’t
justify
selling
the
most
expensive
pint
of
Estrella
in
a
pub
in
London.
