The Rose and Crown named 'most colourful pub' ahead of horticultural show

The Rose and Crown pub has been named the 'most colourful pub' in Stoke Poges.


 

Ahead of the Stoke Poges, Wexham and Fulmer Horticultural Society's annual show on Saturday, the pub in Hollybush Hill was presented with the JT Ireland Cup.

The cup has been going since 1994 and this year saw seven pubs enter.

Jon Homan, president of the society, praised the pub's display for being 'magnificent and exceptionally colourful'.

Pub manager Sarah Birchill said: "I have to make sure the watering is done early and I do the deadheading myself so to win is brilliant and makes the effort worthwhile.

"We have had so many people stop and photograph the pub. It has been very encouraging.”

The other winners and formal presentations will take place at The Stoke Poges School in Rodgers Lane.

Gates open at 12.30pm with competitions for best plants and flowers, fruit and vegetables.

Entry is £3 for adults, £2 concessions and free for children and members.
