Another of Hitchin's great-looking pubs, with an enviable position on the cobbled Market Square. A laminate, faux-wooded floored rectangular room with a bar against its right-hand wall, there's no real ale and loud music playing to no-one in particular greeted my entrance. Much espousing of their karaoke night (every Thursday and 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month: 9pm-1am) and there's also a large, colourful touchscreen jukebox against the far wall. A disappointment, but if I fancy subjecting people to my rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross" at least I know when to drop by.

The Rose and Crown is a decent looking pub that is situated in a good location in the middle of Hitchin. Once inside there is a smallish single oblong shaped room with the bar on the front right side,the floor is bare boarded,there is comfy bench seating with small stools. There were no real ales on the bar,i had a drink of keg Whitbread Best Bitter,which was a decent enough drink and a blast from the past. I like pubs like this,just a shame there was not one real ale on the bar. Pub visited 17/6/2017
