| The Rose & Crown is
principally a 16th century building which was extended and re-fronted in the Georgian
fashion - a date stone at the southern end giving the date at 1740. For many years
the Inn served as a coaching house and was also used for the Elham Petty Sessions until as
late as the early 1970's when the last Licensing session was held. It is said the man upon whom Baroness Orczy modelled her fictional hero of the French Revolution, The Scarlet Pimpernel, used to stop and dine at the Rose & Crown while he waited for a fresh horse to carry him to the coast for one of his real life dashes to France to rescue some doomed aristocrat from the guillotine; and certainly many people have stopped here to enjoy the food and the beer and, of course, the village of Elham itself, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and unspoilt in Kent. The Rose and Crown offers a a range of fine
Real Ales earning it's inclusion in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. These ales
are supplemented by an extensive bar and A La Carte menu served in the
lounge bar or non-smoking dining room. |
