The United Kingdom Pavilion is a stereotypically British-themed pavilion that is part of the World Showcase, within Epcot at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, United States. Its location is between the French and Canadian pavilions.
The United Kingdom Pavilion, designed to look like a stereotypical British village, has English gardens including a hedge maze.
The shops sell British items, such as tea, toys, clothing, and Beatles merchandise.
A band called the British Revolution perform British rock music covers from acts such as the Police, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Blur, and Led Zeppelin.
A comedic group, known as the World Showcase Players, used to perform humorous and interactive versions of "King Arthur and the Holy Grail" and "Romeo and Juliet" (renamed "Romeo and Edna").
A full-service restaurant that serves British cuisine in both an indoor and outdoor setting. The indoor section resembles a pub, while the outdoor seating is located on a patio overlooking the lagoon. Lunch and dinner are served daily. Dishes as of 2008-09 included potato and leek soup, bangers and mash, and fish and chips.
A key attraction to the Rose and Crown is the selection of ales and stouts including Boddingtons, Bass, Harp, and Guinness (from the Republic of Ireland), as well as Stella Artois (despite being Belgian, it is one of the UK's most popular lagers). Also extremely popular is the selection of quality Scotch and Irish whiskeys served in the bar and restaurant.
