The Rose & Crown Is Closing Down

Thursday 17th April 2025

A message from Maggie on the Facebook page of the Rose & Crown, East Street, Warminster:

“Just an update for you all on the situation at the Rosa, unfortunately no new tenant has been found and so the pub will be closed down from next Friday the 25th April, this Sunday will be my last day trading, I will be onsite next week to close down the premises. So sad that my beautiful pub will close I would have love to have handed over to a new tenant but it’s not to be and it’s not such a surprise with the industry the way it is at the moment, hopefully it will reopen soon.
