Old Boots left this review about The Rose & Crown

A long, thin, hilltop pub above the Colne Valley divided into three areas. To the right on entering through the central door is a dining room with twig and blue fairy light décor, to the left the main bar with the counter running down one side, passing a small alcove to the right, there is a bistro at the far end. This is in tongue and groove decorated with pictures of film stars from Hollywood's heyday and an old factory time clock. Lots of pump clips for Goose Eye beers, Cophill Best being on one pump, the others having Black Sheep Bitter, York Guzzler and another micro brewery on a fourth. I assume Goose Eye makes the Cophill Best as a house beer for the pub which is in the hamlet of Cop Hill; it is higher up the valley side than the village of Slaithwaite which incidentally is pronounced “sla-wit” or “slou it” locally. One wall has four clocks showing the time in London, Rio, Johannesburg and New York, has well has a big screen and there are some pictures of industrial Huddersfield and some of spaniels behind the bar. The beer quality was excellent.
