The pub reopened in April 2018 after a period of closure. A former coaching inn built in 1732, it is now a thriving locals' pub with a lounge, small bar and a games room. In addition to the three permanent Thwaites beers there are between four and five guests from the Thwaites list or from local breweries. Live music on Saturday night and quiz night on Sunday. Free car parking is available nearby.

The pub is adjacent to Mayer Park and a short walk from Port Sunlight Village, founded by William Hesketh Lever in 1888 to house his soap factory workers. In the village is the Lady Lever Art Gallery, home to one of the most beautiful collections of art in the country

Local CAMRA Branch Pub of Excellence award in 2022 and Community Pub award in 2024.

Historic Interest

A former coaching inn built in 1732 although there is thought to have been a pub on this site listed in the Ale House Register in 1561. Shown on Bryant's map of 1831 as the Rose & Crown and listed in Bagsaw's Directory of 1850. It was purchased by Birkenhead Brewery in 1879. (Birkenhead Brewery was subsequently taken over by Threlfalls in 1962 then Whitbread in 1967). The pub was acquired by Thwaites in the early 1970s. In 1982 the lounge was extended at the rear of the pub and new toilets built.
