Rose & Crown Update :
Ashdon Inns are proud to announce that new tenants have been appointed to run the Rose and Crown.
Landlady Dionne and Head Chef Ryan, of DT Hospitality, are delighted to be taking over the Ashdon village pub. They both have substantial experience in hospitality, pub management and catering. As well as a great range of real ales and a well-stocked bar, Ryan’s expertise and passion for using local, fresh produce will ensure that the food is a main attraction.
As you may have seen, a lot of work has taken place to restore the building to its former glory. There’s a bit more to do and some materials we’re still waiting for, but, we’re hoping we’ll be able to welcome you all back into the pub in mid-Autumn.
In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you at our ‘Bank Holiday Sunday Social’ for a local ale, gin and a hot dog/burger.
Yours
The team & Rose & Crown Inn ... See MoreSee Less

Rose & Crown Bank Holiday Sunday Social:
We are pleased to announce that we are holding a 'Sunday Social' on 29th August 2pm-7pm.
Come along and enjoy some local beers, a BBQ or maybe a delicious gin from the Ginporium caravan! Cambridge Juices and Adnams Prosecco will also be available.
It's been a year since our pub closed so it's about time we had a village gathering. If you know someone who would be interested in coming along, but might not have access to social media, please spread the word.
Sadly Barry Tyler and other local bands are otherwise engaged so if anyone knows of a musician/s who would like to entertain us for us couple of hours, please let us know.
We look forward to seeing you.
This event will be held in the car park with no access to the pub other than the toilets.
The beer bar and BBQ are cash only and when they're gone they're gone! Ginporium will accept cash or card.
Yours
The team @ Rose & Crown Inn ... See MoreSee Less

Wow, so looking forward to coming along. I am fairly new to the village and only had the pleasure to visit the pub once before it closed. looking forward to visiting again and giving support to a much needed community venue. Well done to you all. On wards and upwards, the start of many advents to come. Thank you to all concerned. Linda 😊
Try the above group I have recently had them play at an avent for me and they are really good .
Group Co-ordinator: Mary Curtis – 01799 524 784 – The ukulele group started 3 years ago and from humble beginnings we now have a membership of 24 players and a repertoire of 150 songs. We are always adding new songs to our repertoire and learning new techniques- good for our physical and mental welfare and health. We have continued to play together throughout the pandemic, either as very small groups in gardens or by zoom. (Depending on government restrictions). In the past we have played at fete de la musique, flower festivals, the Mayor’s Town Hall concert, and have busked in the town collecting for charity. If your group would like us to entertain you at a summer event (when allowed!), do get in touch. Mary Curtis (07708 588 732).
Fantastic, looking forward to heading down.
Onwards and UP , Great for the Village !!
Great! Now a word with the weather imps!!
Can’t wait !!! Charlotte Little 🥳💃🏻

Rose & Crown Update:
We’re sure you’ve all the noticed the scaffolding, and we’re very pleased to be starting work on the renovation of the Rose & Crown.
Starting from the top, we are cleaning and repairing the roof with external decorating about to commence. Electrical checks and remedial work is going on inside as some of you have noticed.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the scaffolding or the noise while we work on the pub, but we won’t be causing any disruption that’s isn’t deemed necessary as part of our sympathetic refurbishment.
Slow progress, but we will get there.
Yours

Excellent stuff team Rose & Crown. Building sites create noise and inconvenience, but they are always temporary and for the greater good. The old girl needs a makeover for the next generation of her time in the village. Thankfully that will now be as a community pub and not a house or a derelict building. Will be great to be back for a pint and a bite to eat very soon. 🍻👍
Let’s hope the hard work is rewarded by village folk using our great pub. That first pint will be magical!
Well done team, slowly but surely. It will be amazing when finished, can’t wait to be a regular visitor again. A time lapse camera would be amazing to see progress. Cheers 🍻
So looking forward to our village pub being the hub if our village well done 👍🏻🥃
Fantastic work and a pleasure to see the building being restored. Really looking forward to the opening. 😁
Looking forward to you opening. Well done to you all been watching the process. x
I've loved watching it. I've been taking tips from the outside work... We need to do similar to our house. Lol
Amazing! Can not wait. Noise is obviously inevitable in this situation! All for the greater good. Can’t wait to visit 😍
Make as much mess as you like and noises.Our village needs it's pub back. Thank you to ever it concerns. 🙏👌
Don’t worry about the noise! We all want to see the pub open 🍻😁
Fantastic, can’t wait to get in for a pint 🍺. Well done guys on sorting out our village pub 😊
All looking good, no disruption or noise issues from three doors away. Well done.
Amazing! We can’t wait and it’s just amazing to see the pub finally being cared for. Thank you!!!

Following discussions by the Parish Council with both Uttlesford District and Essex County Councils a tree survey was arranged by Essex County Council on the Horse Chestnut by the Village Hall. The tree was shedding dead wood and branches and looked poorly and in a generally sorry state.
The result of the tree survey was not as gloomy as it was thought it would be and Essex County Council arranged for the necessary "trim" that the tree required (once permission had been obtained).
This lovely tree will be monitored on an annual basis to confirm that it has benefited from the work carried out and is still healthy. ... See MoreSee Less

Wow great news..... Will you be ready for Wednesday velo ride?
Please can we have our pool table back?
Nice to hear it will be in local ownership with people who care for the pub and local community
Excellent Dean!! Really looking forward to moving to Ashdon (finally) and propping up the bar at the Rose and Crown! 👍🏼🔥🥂🔥👍🏼
Thank goodness for that. As someone who's slightly obsessed and geeky about older properties. It's been horrendous walking past it and seeing it literally fall apart.
I suppose you'll need a Jazz Band for the opening ceremony. Come on, make your pitch!
That's great news, looking forward to the reopening, it's been horrible seeing it empty 🥂
Good luck guys. Is Wimbish still banned 😁🍀
Brilliant news, looking forward to the opening. Well done guys
Fabulous news! Cannot wait to come and support the local pub 🥂👏
Best news, so excited, can’t wait to support you
Great news! If you’d like Oliver Cromwell to come and open it, drop me a line.
Fantastic news have missed the pub well done to all concerned getting it up and running again 👏
Congratulations. Look forward to coming for a beer soon!
Great news. Look forward to revisiting.
Great news! Please take care of the medieval wall frieze!
Absolutely amazing news - can’t wait to come and use it 🍷🎉
Brilliant news looking forward to coming in to see you. xx
👍🏻 look forward to the grand re-opening
Yay! Can’t wait 🥳
Fabulous, well done to all involved... Looking forward to my first pint when she opens 👍🍻
