The Rose & Crown

The personal touch

The three-storey, creeper-covered Rose & Crown Romaldkirk holds a commanding position in the centre of the historic village, as it has done since the 18th century, standing right by the village green and 12th-century church of St Romald. There’s a rugged charm to the place, with its narrow passages, beams and stone walls, with logs sparking in the fireplace in the bar, and a touch of refinement in the lounges and oak-panelled restaurant. Cheryl and Thomas Robinson also own the grand Headlam Hall further down Teesdale, and, here in Romaldkirk, they’ve managed to inject high standards of hospitality and service while maintaining the essence of a village inn. The menu is as rooted in the environment as the pub itself, with a genuine local flavour, and a skilled chef at the stove. Wooden bench tables out front are the perfect place to perch and plan your day, with a pot of tea or a pint of Black Sheep to hand, or head into the safety of the main lounge with its wood-burning stove if the weather isn’t up to snuff.

Sticky fingers

A children's menu will satisfy young appetites, with under-sevens permitted in the bar and dining room up until eight in the evening. When staying over, the three suites have sofa beds that suit family groups, and there are DVD players should a movie be in order.

Muddy paws

Non-muddy dogs on leads are welcome inside the inn, and there are facilities for washing down and drying resident canines (at no charge). Even the doggy treats are made locally.

Alfresco

The graveled terrace out front has a few tables and gets the sun for most of the day; a fine position for eating, drinking and watching the world go by.

The Rose & Crown

Do not disturb

When it comes to staying the night, it’s true to say the Rose & Crown has something for everyone. There’s a genuine mix of styles on show, but every room is comfortable and tasteful, with bespoke furniture and local artworks on the walls. In the main pub building, the rooms are on the first and second floors, with the top floor providing suite-type spaces with the added appeal of views over the village. Expect some quirky features, old beams and, in one case, a superb en suite bathroom where anyone over six feet will have to proceed with caution. Behind the inn is Monk’s Cottage, a pretty 17-century building with views over the green and Saxon church, with flexible rooms spaces with separate sitting rooms, study areas, boot room and a small galley (an honesty bar ups the ante). Finally, there’s the single-storey Courtyard, with its contemporary-styled rooms and private patios.

The Rose & Crown

Mastering the menu

Head chef Dave Hunter used to run the show at the Robinsons’ posh country hotel (Headlam Hall) and these days he’s turning on the style in the revamped kitchen of the Rose & Crown. He’s still making use of Headlam’s wonderful kitchen garden, and just about everything else is sourced from favoured local suppliers. Once you’re over the threshold, you’ll find a real fire and a happy hum in the traditional bar, or seek out the more relaxed charms of the main lounge area (with its wood-burning stove), but, when it comes to eating, the oak-panelled dining room is hard to beat, with its period character and smartly laid tables. The well put together menu includes seasonal picks of local trout and game from local estates, and even the simpler stuff such as sandwiches and fish and chips are done really well (the fish shipped in from Hartlepool quay). Scottish smoked salmon with brown shrimps, fennel salad and lemon dressing is a simple and effective first course, followed by seared fillet of sea bass with herb crushed potatoes, beer-battered king prawns and toasted almonds, dressed with a fish velouté, or a meat feast of caramelised pork tenderloin with slow-cooked pork belly and grilled pork sausage (served with dauphinois potatoes, Savoy cabbage and mustard cream). The comforting desserts and an array of local cheeses show the same attention to detail, and Sunday lunches bring in the crowds. In the morning, you may well catch a glimpse of Cheryl Robinson in her whites preparing breakfast and baking.

On the menu

Chicken liver parfait with bacon jam, carrot and watercress £5
Baked cod with pea ragu, mussel, leek and lemon cream £16.50
Beef sirloin, triple-cooked chips and rosemary jus £23.50

Behind the bar

Black Sheep Bitter and Wainwright from Thwaites are the mainstays at the pumps, two of the big guns in this part of the country, with seasonal support from the like of White Boar from the Village Brewer. Wines come from Bon Coeur Fine Wines in Masham, another local favourite, with a list that has decent global coverage and includes lots of interesting bottles from smaller independent growers; there’s always at least nine by the glass. A goodly range of Scottish malts and some small batch spirits (Durham Gin, for example) all add to the mix. Fentimans – established in 1905 in Hexham – is a local company that has had national success in recent years, and here you’ll find their proper ginger beer, dandelion and burdock, lemonade, and a new mixer range to give your Durham G&T zing.

BOOKINGS AND VOUCHERS

Our site is an online platform that allows you to search for and book accommodation. We are acting as disclosed agent for the relevant inns featured on our site. This means that any booking or contractual arrangement you make with any entity featured on our site is made with that entity, and not with us. By entering information into the booking software, you authorise us to pass on all relevant information to those entities with whom you are seeking to make a reservation, and to control and/or process such data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to make a booking you are required to provide credit card details. We will enable the relevant inn to gain access to the credit card details via the site in the event of any cancellation and a cancellation charge is due. By making a booking you are expressly authorising access to and use of such data and for the relevant inn to deduct the cancellation charges notified to you in the event of a cancellation.

Bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the individual entity with whom you contract, including any cancellation polices they may apply. It is your responsibility to check the terms of such entities before you enter your contract with them. If you wish to cancel a booking, you must cancel using the site unless exceptional circumstances do not permit you to gain access to the site, in which case you should liaise directly with the inn concerned. In either case you may be liable for cancellation charges. Whenever your booking is cancelled whether directly or via the site, it is your responsibility to check your account with HIP to confirm the booking has been cancelled and to be notified of any relevant charges (and to pay them). If you do not attend the inn on the dates booked, this will be treated as a cancellation by the relevant inn on the applicable terms. The accommodation provider’s cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider’s cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances. If you wish to complain when you return home, you should address your complaint to the inn concerned.
