The spark that inspired The Lion & Rose concept came during extensive travels overseas both for business and pleasure. Visiting England, it was clear to see that the QUINTESSENTIAL ENGLISH PUB IS A COMMUNITY'S HUB, where residents young and old gather for meals and drinks and to catch up on local sports and gossip, play cards or darts, and spend time among friends.

There's nothing quite like the English pub in American culture, and we decided it was high time that people here got a sense of the true English pub atmosphere. Of course, we also realized that it was a tremendous business opportunity, since there really isn't much like it among current restaurants and bars in the U.S. The planning commenced, the supplier relationships were solidified, and the concept was refined until The Lion & Rose became the popular, authentic English pub that so many customers enjoy today.

The Lion & Rose is part of the Allen Tharp group of companies. It is the latest in a series of business ventures all built on a strong foundation. With businesses dating back more than 20 years, a history of financial strength and professional experience, and a total employee count of over 650 people, The Lion & Rose leverages a STRONG INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT IN A NEWLY OPENED MARKET NICHE.

You now have the opportunity to join our team, and operate an innovative but established concept in your own community. Please read on for more information about The Lion & Rose concept and our franchise program. Then, we look forward to discussing The Lion & Rose franchise opportunity with you in greater detail.

An Authentic English Pub

The Lion & Rose decor is unique and pays exquisite attention to detail and authenticity. High quality woods, etched and stained glass, suits of armor, and other custom finishes are evident throughout. As soon as a customer steps in the front door, they feel as if they've been transported to a cozy pub in England.

From groups of friends that come to have a pint and watch the evening's sporting events, to couples seeking an intimate spot and quiet conversation, to business associates wanting to hold a meeting in a distinctive environment, The Lion & Rose concept offers everyone something special.

We provide a variety of comfortable seating options, free wireless Internet access and multimedia presentation capabilities, big screen and plasma TVs throughout the pub, and a common area with a spacious wooden bar and gaming areas for darts, dominoes, and billiards.

Served by our friendly, well-trained staff, guests enjoy a wide range of food and drink options at The Lion and Rose pub. The full bar offers Guinness, Old Speckled Hen, Stella Artois and other European brews. A full bar rounds out the drink selections.
