The Rose and Thistle is an 18th Century Coaching Inn set in the heart of the conservation area in Haddenham, off the village green and opposite St Mary’s Church, surrounded by pretty period buildings. For centuries the Rose and Thistle has served the village as a pub, restaurant and meeting place.
The Rose and Thistle is now for sale and at risk of being sold to developers and converted to a residential property. This is our last chance to stop it from being last orders at this iconic village pub.
Our Vision: The Rose and Thistle Reborn as a vibrant community hub; a place where everyone comes together to forge friendships over locally sourced food and drink.
Our Mission:
To create a family and dog friendly social space for our village, where people of all ages – and their four-legged friends - feel at home
To ensure community ownership and involvement, so the community have a say in what kind of pub they want, and this pub remains vital to the village for generations to come.
To champion local produce and suppliers, supporting our region’s farmers, brewers and artisans.
Current Focus:
One of our main priorities right now is to raise the funds needed to develop a business plan, build a website, cover necessary fees, and lay the groundwork for securing capital grants and developing a community share offer.
If, like us, you look forward to the day your family and friends can enjoy a get-together in the iconic Rose & Thistle, then please donate to our fighting fund. This fighting fund is about seed funding. A donation now, does not equate to a share in the pub - that opportunity will, hopefully, come later. Every donation now - big or small - brings us one step closer to preserving this valuable village asset for generations to come. Please see link below for our Go Fund Me Page!

“Pubs are an essential backbone of rural life, not least in villages like Haddenham. Pubs aren’t just somewhere to enjoy a pint, glass of wine or some good old fashioned pub grub, but are the beating heart of countryside communities. Village pubs are people places, where everyone can come together, particularly those living alone who would otherwise be isolated at home. That’s why I am pleased to back the Rose & Thistle Reborn campaign in Haddenham and hope we can bring this great village pub back to life to serve Haddenham once more.”

“Pubs sit at the heart of the community, providing a welcoming space for people to come together and stave off loneliness.
“A busy and successful pub boosts the local economy, creates jobs and supports supply chains from grain to glass.
“That’s why I’m delighted to see local groups, like the Rose & Thistle Reborn in Haddenham, recognising the importance of the pub and pulling together to stop last orders at their village pub and preserve it as a community hub for generations to come.”
