Rose & Crown Hotel Parramatta

A classic pub with lots of booths and bar-side seating, the Rose has a corker of a casual diner with pot pies, panko-crumbed schnitzels and Angus beef steaks. The bloke who built the hotel in 1843 was one Robert “One-Armed” Green, a lively lad whose lone hand fought (and lost) at the Battle of Waterloo and who is buried at All Saints Church next door. Raise an amber to Mr Green when you pop in.
