    Great pub for food and drink. Would definitely recommend either fish and chips with mushy peas or their rump steak. Everything cooked perfectly thanks.

    Walk past, always smells like dirty cooking oil. If you actually dare to venture in food tastes the same no matter what you have. Boring plain food doesn’t taste of anything, unless you love the taste of cooking oil. Manager clicks his fingers at bar staff. Really thinks he’s something. Used to be better years ago when it was a proper pub.

    Having looked through the menu We decided on a fish and chip supper with mushy and a drink of ginger bear there was a good size fish and the chips were cooked perfect, on line it mentioned that you need to book but we just turned up there is plenty of car parking room and the pub is decided into two with the restaurant one side bar the other, it's a traditional country pub with beams and open fire would be a great visit in the winter when it's snowy outside would have been a 5 if the fire was going as it was frosty outside having said that we will be back for another visit when it's snowing

    16 of us came for Sunday roast today and it was outstanding. To start with we had missed 2 people off the booking and the staff happily added an extra table for us, then they quickly took our drink order, followed by our food order shortly afterwards. Everything came out spot on, the food was amazing, and plenty of it. My children cleaned their plates and asked for more, the same with puddings. Can’t fault it, we will be back! Thank you very much!

    Went here today for lunch and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It was absolutely fantastic. Great value for money and staff were very polite and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place for food. As you can see from the images, the food was very nicely presented.

    We visited yesterday to eat as a table of 12. The service was none existent! No welcoming! Had to ask for menus & even then was given 5 paper menus “due to covid” so we had to share! Bar staff just ignore you & don’t talk to you like they usually do in village pubs! Food was ok for the others, but my chicken was vile! Supposed to be Roast chicken but was microwaved & have had stomach cramps for 24 hrs! We’ve been many times before & has been great, but I will not be returning! Maybe it’s changed hands?!

    Popped up for a drink Sunday evening. Met at the bar by a chap who was chatting with what seemed to be regulars. I asked him how he was and he snapped “we aren’t doing food” I replied that’s fine we are just here for a drink to which he looked my partner and I up and down. And proceeded to serve us with a very lack lustre energy in comparison to how he spoken with the what seemed to be regulars. The whole time he didn’t speak to us presented the card machine and piped up saying £11.60. I said thank you to which he ignored and once approved turned to speak to his regulars. My partner being covered in tattoos and myself perhaps not hitting the demographic of the area felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome and to be frank won’t be returning. As a long term hospitality worker I found it profoundly rude and unwelcoming as opposed to a staff member flustered due to being busy.

    Really nice location and friendly atmosphere. Some bits of the food were overdone, but still nice. The Chocolate Fudge Cake with custard was an absolute delight!

  • 3/5 KAREN G. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was quite good but the tables you eat at are appalling, bacteria city in the grooves of the tables. The man that served us at the bar was not friendly at all. Lovely outside area with wonderful views just a shame about the inside.

    I love locals that have a history! There is a "nice and cosy" feel to this place and the food is delicious. We had Sunday roasts, but I forgot to take a picture of the food - it was that good! Staff are friendly and helpful.

    I went here on Tuesday with a friend for a drink. 7pm ish. We went to the the little bar around the side and wait 10/15mins and nobody came (even though a staff member saw us). So we around to the 'main' bar. Waited at one side if the bar for about 10/15 minutes for the lady at the bar to tell us to move over to the other one because it wasnt working. Lots of customers unhappy at this point, all being squashed together and messed about. Finally got to order drinks (service not good- staff not very friendly to be honest and a bit like zombies who didnt want to be there. esp the 2 women). My friend waited about 10 minutes for his drink to then be told the barrel needed changing and then was given the wrong beer!! At this point he didnt care because he just wanted a drink and to relax!! He ordered food, waited 30/40mins. It was okay but not really worth it. All in all, it's a real shame because it's a nice pub, my first visit and heard good things. We wont be returning or bringing families etc. Also- atmosphere was rubbish- no music and no real vibe. :(

    Myself & a couple of friends have been comming here every few weeks for our "girls catch up lunch". The food is good value for money with lots to choose from. The staff are lovely & service is very good.

    I came with my daughter for the first time for lunch and was very pleased indeed. Very reasonably priced , decent menu and nice quiet atmosphere. Sat outside afterwards with a coffee and the views are beautiful.

    Seven of us went for Sunday lunch to celebrate 2 birthdays. Six went for roast beef and one the nut loaf. The nut loaf was very dry & the beef was sooooo tough that we gave up on trying to cut it so left most of it. When we mentioned to waitress she said she would “tell the manager. The manager never bothered to come to speak to us so when we went to pay we mentioned it again and were told “she’s sorting it out now!” We waited and when waitress returned she told us the cook said the meat is tough because it’s pink and that’s how the beef is cooked here. We said it but it isn’t pink and that in March when a party of 45 of us were here celebrating another birthday the meat and meal were lovely The waitress said she was really sorry and the manager said we could have a soft drink. I told her the manager should have the decency to come and speak directly and not leave it to her. It will be the last visit to the Rose and Crown by any of us and we will be taking our custom elsewhere for our large celebration parties

    I really like this pub more and more,Its great looking on the outside and inside,the garden is something else.......!!!,especially at this time of year with a view of the countryside that is truly epic...The food is really nice and its a nice bunch of people that run it,they are lovely- genuine and real and not showbiz friendly because you are the customer. Great beer on draught,plus a ridiculously huge selection of gins!! Family always feel at home here and i cant wait for my next visit.Great spacious car park that feels safe to boot.Well run pub,also dog friendly in specific areas.
