Rose & Crown, Sandhurst

Slightly curious-looking building, which is probably older than it first appears due to the single-storey front extension (which is itself partially obscured by a patio area with lattice fence screening). The interior has been partially opened out to one side, and it retains a separate bar on the other. Large collection of beer bottles and breweriana. Large beer garden to rear, partially decking but mostly grass. Excellent range of real ales from the eight handpumps, dominated by micro-breweries, and my pint of Bingham Doodle Stout (£3.50) was first class. Overall, despite going at a very quiet time in the mid afternoon, I was very impressed.
