My first ever visit to the town of March started with the Rose & Crown, one of two pubs in the town to feature in the Good Beer Guide. It is located a little way out of the centre, but seemed like quite a friendly place serving both real ales and ciders and decent food too.
Arriving at the pub, you enter into a small bar area, with a slightly larger dining area beyond. It is carpeted throughout with low beams giving it a cosy feel. Locals moved to one side to allow me to get to the bar, which was a nice touch. Real ales were national ones - Fuller's London Pride, Oakham Inferno, Brains The Rev. James & St Austell Cornish Best.
Sitting in the lounge area, I could hear various compliments about the food, which looked like traditional pub grub - steaks, liver, gammon and that traditional favourite beef madras. Whilst this area was full of diners on my visit, pictures of various sporting events on the walls, from boxing and cricket to athletics and football suggested that this is also the area where locals can watch sport. There was indeed a TV. Radio was playing in the background, but conversation was drowning it out. It was also only when I sat down in the lounge that I spotted pumpclips for a number of ciders - Lilley's Pineapple Cider & Mango Cider, Weston's Old Rosie and also Broadoak Perry. I'd missed out.
A corridor to the rear led to the toilets and an outdoor yard. It had various pumpclips on the walls.
Not quite as busy as the other real ale establishments in March, I thought this was the better of the town's pubs with its friendly customers and a selection of ciders.

The Rose and Crown is an unremarkable suburban boozer which feels somewhat time warped inside.
It's a long (15 minutes or so) walk from the town centre and it isn't worth the trip.
Beers on were St Austell Cornish Best, Fullers London Pride, York Guzzler and a cider with 3 handpumps unused. A dull and low strength selection which underwhelmed despite the Guzzler being in decent shape.
The experience was saved somewhat by a friendly barmaid but it wasn't enough to go for a second pint and a return visit is unlikely.

Aqualung is very accurate in his review but the operation here has gone further downhill since then.There are two sections,the larger side bar has a series of dining type tables and a few seats near the bar plus some bar stools.There is a small front room with a pool table,flatscreen,fruit machines and it's own bar access.Hardy anybody was in the pub and we only travelled to this outpost of March on the back of it's GBG listing.When confronted with an ale choice of St Austell Cornish Best,York Guzzler and London Pride,the strongest option at 4.1%, we nearly turned turtle.However we stayed for the one,with all pints in great condition but tasting of very little due to the indifference of the brews.I would suspect ale choice here is from a pubco list,and if the team here feel three low strength and similar BBB is good enough for the GBG then the question must be asked whether the local CAMRA branch know anything about real ale.Maybe at busier times a wider selection is on,but I won't risk the long walk to find out in future.
