Rose & Crown Hotel, Wirral

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Rose & Crown Hotel

I can't remember the last time I was in this traditional Thwaite's pub. There is a lounge to the left with bare boards and some carpet with a chequerboard tiled skirt around the bar. 3 small steps lead to a raised area with a TV at the rear. The bar is on the right-hand side and this also has a raised section at the far right-hand end of the pub. The two raised areas connect to each other along a carpeted corridor lined with pictures of the local area. The corridor also leads to the toilets.

A digital screen in the bar lists the available beers through the Real Ale Finder app. Beers are spread across handpulls in both the bar and lounge. So, check both sides or the digital list. Thwaite's Original, IPA & Gold are the regular cask ales. Their Irish Stout was also on, alongside Salopian Shropshire Gold & Brimstage New Zealand Pale. The cider was Weston's Rosie's Pig and they also had the local Bevvie Across The Mersey from Glen Affric on keg.

Dogs and children were present during my visit. Music was being played at a sensible volume and live music events are also hosted, along with a quiz night on a Sunday.

I wasn't overly impressed by my Irish Stout but this is a nice, traditional pub and at least they serve a few guest beers and a cider to supplement the Thwaite's range.
