The ancient village of Ratley lies close to Upton House on the Warwickshire / Oxfordshire border. The Rosen Crown public house offers a warm welcome with great food and drink. Part of this grade II listed building are said to date back to 1098 and it has functioned as a pub since around 1775.

We welcome walkers and their dogs throughout the year as well as people seeking refreshments before or after a visit to the National Trust property at Upton house (off of the A422) or the National Herb Centre (B4100). Also nearby you will find the independent national art gallery and 'Capability Brown' landscaped park of Compton Verney, the British Motor Museum at Gaydon and the site of the of the Battle of Edgehill in 1642.

Loyalist troops were billeted in Ratley the night before the battle of Edgehill. Local legend has it that a roundhead soldier was caught hiding in on main inglenook fireplace after the battle and was beheaded there and then. His ghost is said to still haunt the building.

Ratley lies on the northern extremity of the Cotswolds escarpment to the west of the M40 near junctions 11 Banbury and 12 Gaydon. The village sits between the Stratford Upon Avon to Banbury road (A422) and the Warwick to Banbury road (B4100).

The is proud of its reputation for good wholesome food and is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2016 and 2017.
