This is the new Milton Brewery incarnation. Lovely choice of well kept 5/6 house real ales, friendly welcome, relaxing atmosphere in a snug half-timbered (rather small) pub with some quiet corners to get esconced in. The local bell ringers new local on a Tuesday. The beers aren't cheap but I think that the whole experience is good value.

I recently had my 60th birthday party at the Rose and Crown. Carol, the manageress and chef arranged for me to have the pub exclusively for my guests. We were treated to a thee course meal for 32 which was cooked to perfection! Carol, Steve, his wife and Jess made my night a complete success and were extremely polite and helpful. Thank you so very much for your attention to detail, expertise and professionalism, it made my night just that extra bit special.

The food is nice but don’t go work for the pub owner / manager she is rude and she won’t pay because she hasn’t payed me. I did 2 shifts and they was my first 2 shifts. She literally shown me around the pub and then just sent me to it. she didn’t help me with anything. Just thrown me into the deep end. I mean I had bar experience but I haven’t worked on a bar for over a year and she thought I would know everything and if u made one little mistake she will bite your head off. So I left after 2 shifts because I wasn’t being payed to be yelled at all the time. Well I say payed. SHE HASNT EVEN PAYED ME !!! And when I’ve messaged her to see if I’m getting payed she has just ignored me !!! Very professional indeed Don’t get me wrong but the food is nice but DONT GO THERE TO WORK !!! YOU WONT GET PAID !!!! AND YOU WILL GET YOUR HEAD RIPPED OFF !!!!

We didn't realise the Rose and Crown delivered Sunday lunches - but they do - and they are delicious. Roast beef, Yorkshire puds, roast spuds and veg delivered piping hot exactly on time. And lunch for a vegetarian, also excellent. All this and excellent value for money. Wonderful treat that cheered up another lockdown Sunday - THANK YOU!

Booked for an evening meal and really wish we hadn't. Greeted with "We havent got x, y and z". Persevered as still some things on menu that looked ok but was a mistake. 2 meals cold, fish full of fins, and the unbelievable " no you can't see the bill until you pay this random amount I have told you it comes to". Needless to say we will never visit again.

First time visit to this establishment, but understand it is under new ownership. We visited on a week night. We hadn't booked, unfortunately there was a large party in so taking our order was delayed by quite some time. We were kept updated, which we were impressed with. When the food arrived it was lovely, hot and delicious. We will hopefully be able to return in the near future.

This pub has recently got new landlords and we were very impressed. 4 of us had lunch, all different choices and all were excellent. They were all served at the same time, all dishes hot and very enjoyable. We had fish and chips, cottage pie, liver and bacon and steak and kidney pudding. Good choice of desserts too and all at reasonable prices. The hosts are very friendly and keen to please. The pub also has steak nights and fish and chip days which are good value for money. We look forward to our next visit.

My 1st and last visit was last night, Burn's night. A very sterile atmosphere akinded to a Library with a bar rammed into it with 'Ping' food being served. No warmth or interaction and definitely No pulse. My biggest bugbear was the young barkeep under pouring my pint of Tiger beer and passing it to me with a Eagle clawed grip on the rim. How much money had he handled before that and how many pockets had that money been in? Cross contamination. I still quickly drank my pint and left after wiping his finger prints of the rim. Sorry for the post and only my opinion. Oh I have been working in the hospitality industry for 43 years, on and off.

We decided to try the lunch menu last Saturday (11th Jan)for the first time since the previous landlord moved on in November. We were warmly greeted by the staff and seated at the table of our choice. The menu looked good, solid "pub grub" and I chose the Steak & Kidney pudding with mash and peas, while my wife plumped for the Ham, egg & chips. Both meals were served with friendly efficiency and my pud was all I'd expect for a traditional S&K. Not many places serve it nowadays, I find. Ruby's meal was as equally good and we'll certainly be going back

So disappointed with our visit. It’s hard to imagine that the Rose and Crown would go downhill so quickly. The tenants before last worked for nearly three years to bring Histon a lovely pub restaurant, the standard in every area was first class. The tenants in between were not there for long! Now it’s a pub serving very average meals. The finishing touches that made dining so special have gone. The attention to detail very poor, We won’t be going back.

Algunos de nuestros amigos nos dijeron que Rose and Crown estaba bajo una nueva administración, tuvimos muchas comidas deliciosas bajo la administración anterior, por lo que pensamos que lo probaríamos. Después de una larga caminata por Girton, Oakington y de regreso al pueblo, nos detuvimos para almorzar. La bienvenida en el bar era insuperable, la elección de comida era perfecta para un pub, mi amigo es vegetariano y nuestras comidas eran excelentes y con una buena relación calidad-precio. La persona del bar incluso rellenó nuestras bebidas mientras estábamos comiendo - servicio con una sonrisa y comida superior - ¡bien hecho! !

Lovely Pub,lovely food and helpful friendly staff. At time of writing there is road works going so had to park near the green but that's fine and the pub really needs support as the owners get no compensation for the loss of trade due to all the work going on. So if you are near Histon and want great value for me make the effort to go to the Rose and Crown

We visited the Rose and Crown for the first time and were not disappointed. We had booked an early evening table and there were quite a few tables with diners already eating and there was a nice atmosphere/ambience. We had a starter and mains but couldn't manage a pudding! I had the burger with sweet potato fries and it was the best "pub" burger I have had in a long time. The beef was succulent and tasty. The sweet potato fries were lovely and crisp and it was a good sized portion as an additional extra. My husband had the meat pie special, chips and veg which he also enjoyed. He did have to help me to finish my dish. Only negative with my dish was that I wish there was an option for just the beef burger without the chicken and bacon. I really enjoyed it but it was just too large. If there were an option to remove those to make it smaller for smaller appetites and a slightly cheaper dish it would be perfect.

I had the scampi and it had to be the best scampi I have had in a long time! It was accompanied by some tasty chips and a fresh side salad. Service was quick and friendly. The pub had a very welcoming feeling with comfortable modern surroundings. Overall, good hot food, great selection of pub classics and value for money - we wished it was nearer to home, as we'd definitely eat there again!

For the price of £7-95 it was terrible. Id read comments on the Eton mess being lovely but it certainly wasn't. The tall guy with glasses was very friendly. But the short guy who took our money didn't even speak to us to say thankyou . We won't bother again. !!!!!!

It was warm inside too, all too often pubs leave it too chilly when it's not very cold outside.
