The Rose and Crown, a historic pub in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, has been sold to family-run operator Oak Taverns for an undisclosed sum.

The 17th Century pub, which has been owned by Nikki Page for several decades, is a past winner of CAMRA’s Oxfordshire Pub of the Year award. 

Based in Thame, Oak Taverns operates a growing portfolio of pubs across the South of England. The sale was managed by Tim Widdows, associate director at business property adviser Christie and Co.

The property was marketed with a freehold asking price of £650,000. However, the final sale price was not disclosed.

Page said: “The Rose and Crown has been a beloved part of our family for decades, and it has been a joy to see it thrive as a hub for the community. While it is bittersweet to say goodbye, I know it is in safe hands with Oak Taverns, who share our passion for great pubs and community spirit.”

An Oak Taverns spokesperson added: “It is a privilege to welcome The Rose and Crown into our family of pubs. This is a well-known and much-loved establishment, and we’re excited to continue its legacy while bringing our own touch to its future.”

Widdows concluded: “We ran a discreet, off-market process, approaching a carefully selected group of potential buyers. Our goal was to find someone who truly understood the character and heritage of The Rose and Crown, and we’re thrilled to have matched the pub with the right buyer in Oak Taverns.”
