One of the stopping off places during Rowell Fair's Monday opening procession - get used to rum…read morewith milk. A pleasant small town pub with garden, old timers will remember it as The Sun.

A beautiful historic pub in the heart of a quaint market town…read more The charter is named after the Rothwell charter: The granting of the charter is celebrated annually by the week-long Rowell Fair. The fair is opened on the first Monday after Trinity Sunday each year by the Proclamation. Starting at 6am at the west door of Holy Trinity church, the bailiff of the Lord of the Manor rides through the town accompanied by a guard of halberdiers and the Rowell Fair Society Band. At each public house he pauses to read aloud the charter. At the conclusion of each reading the crowd cheers God save the Queen and the Lord of the Manor and the band plays the National Anthem. The proprietor of the public house then serves the bailiff and his guards with drinks including the traditional Rowell Fair rum and milk. The local townspeople then attempt to disarm the halberdiers before the party moves on to the next public house. The pubs traditionally remain open after the proclamation, so much merriment is to be had all through the morning. Many people believe that Rowell Fair should be moved from its current position in the centre of the town as it causes congestion. This pub is full of quirky historical charm. Everything you expect from a little village/ town pub, sit in the nooks and crannies and have a pint of ale, or sit by the large open fire place and enjoy a good quality bar snack! This pub seems very popular with the locals and is packed at the weekends so get there early if you want a good seat!
