As a closet Anglophile, I have always enjoyed Noel Coward's long list of music that he authored. Someone once asked him to write something "quintessentially" British and he composed the following about his favorite pub "The Rose & Crown".
"Saturday night at the Rose & Crown is just the place to be - soldiers and sailors - tinkers and tailors - out on the town for a bit of a spree if you're - weary of life with your husband or wife - and the kids are getting you down - things will all turn right on Saturday night - at the Rose & Crown." Buy me a pint and I'll sing you the melody.
