The pub is an attractive building, the staff work hard and the ambience good. What let it down was the food which tasted average at best and the portion sizes were poor. My roast beef had 1 roast potato. Chef needs to up their game clearly.

Great Sunday roast, I had the honey roast gammon & my husband had the roast beef. Home made Yorkshire puds & delicious gravy. The sticky toffee pudding was great too. Excellent & friendly service from our server Florence even though it was busy. Other staff seemed friendly & helpful too. Would recommend.

This beautiful cute pub is what this place is all about !! Friendly cosy pretty and well what can I say about the food !! Best ham egg and chips we have ever had. The staff are very friendly and excellent choice of beers, wines, and spirits. There is a beautiful real fire and is just so cosy that you won’t want to leave. Sunday roasts are just the best around. Definitely a hidden gem in a beautiful setting.

This small old style pub offers a rewarding eating experience. On entering the pub through the well worn door you are into a warn old style pub interior that is very welcoming. The dining area is comfortable and spotlessly clean and staffed by knowledgeable servers. The menu is adequate with a good selection of starters and main meals as well as a selection for the specials board. The kitchen source good quality ingredients and prepare their dishes with love and care. Not a cook chill in sighting this establishment. My starter of home made Houmus and crudités were nearly a meal in itself. The nocellara olives were good however the kalamata olives were not up to standard and need attention. My main course of butchers cumberland sausages and seasonable vegetables wasvery good. The sausages were full of prime pork and seasoned to perfection. The seasonable vegetables of cauliflower florets, carrots and cabbage was both fresh and cooked with care to al dente slightly crunchy offering. This was accompanied separately with a tasty brown gravy. All delicious and very satisfying. The shepherds pie from the specials board was full of delicious seasoned lamb mince topped by a crusty mashed potatoes topping. The accompanying vegetables and garden peas were as above. All in all a very enjoyable meal in a pleasant atmosphere. I would recommend this establishment and we will definitely return again. If they maintain the high standard it could well become our local bolt hole. It was an affordable delicious lunch well presented.

We booked online for a 6.30pm meal on a bank holiday Monday. We received an email confirmation of the booking confirming all the details. We arrived at 6.20pm to find it closed for the rest of the day. We walked past a member of staff who did not even bother to tell us it was shut. We wondered what this family run pub was like. We will now never know.

Third time coming here and each time the service has been slow. Food was shocking once but its a local pub and thought it deserved another go. This time (9/06/2023) my partner and I took our puppy for a spot of dinner. Ordered fish and chips, salad and two fruit ciders. Two fruit ciders came, and we sat in the beer garden awaiting our food. Finished our drinks ordered more and still awaiting our food. After about an hour and seeing people arriving we'll after us getting their food we went up to ask. Their response was the kitchen was busy. Upon further questioning the till had apparently broken. We have however confirmed we were charged and our drinks order which was placed at the same time as our food order had arrived. No manager came to speak with us nor did the person who physically took the order and payment though they had to know the till had crashed. I went to speak with the manager and pulled her to a quiet section of the bar to not cause a scene. I explained my discontent on the situation. She was apologetic until a man dressed in kitchen attire whom also called himself the manager "Glen" told me to have some understanding. I reverted whilst I sympathised with technological errors this order was placed to a person (the bar wasn't busy) and no manager came to address it. I advised my only purpose of speaking with them was to bring this to their attention and advise of the shocking service. As I walked away he remarked he wouldn't want my custom anyway. Needless to say this is absolutely disgusting and I would not recommend. After paying about £70 for food and drink and waiting over an hour for a salad we were out of there within 10 minutes of the food arriving

My son highly recommended Sunday lunch here. I had the vegetarian wellington it was absolutely delicious! The trimmings were also very nice everything was not over cooked and the gravy was lovely! We had chocolate brownie for desert which was also very nice. I live in north London and work in Belsize Park we have been to so many pubs for Sunday lunch around Hampstead the rose and crown was much more authentic and home made than the others! Will be coming back again.

Came here with a group of friends in Saturday lunchtime. I had the burger which was ok with well cooked bacon (as requested) and a good bun. Nothing special but an average pub burger. Fish and chips was acceptable but the fish was overcooked and had a hint of curry taste which was strange. And managed to find what looked like uncooked batter in it (which was odd as it was so overcooked and crispy!) Chips were very nice though and plenty of them. Chocolate brownie with ice cream was nice. But the menu didn't say it comes with chocolate sauce so my wife ate most of it. Service was very good even though the staff were all very young. We come here once a year normally to meet up with friends. I probably wouldn't choose to eat here otherwise as the food isn't quite up to standard for the price.

My husband, mother-in-law and myself visited for a late lunch on the recommendation of a friend and we weren't disappointed. We hadn't booked and the pub was busy but we were quickly seated as soon as a table was free by extremely friendly, helpful staff. I explained I was gluten free and was shown which dishes were suitable. We had bread and oils to start with including a separate portion of gf bread for me (no extra charge!). Mains of sea bass, baked salmon and lamb shank were delicious with lovely veg. They cherry pie and rhubarb and apple crumble also proved to be winners. There's a good selection of beers, ciders, wine and spirits and we thoroughly enjoyed the mulled wine. This would have had a 5 star rating but the service charge had already been added to the bill, a personal bugbear of mine - we would have added a tip anyway as the service was very good. We will definitely return, hopefully when the weather is better so we can enjoy the lovely garden.

This pub has a really large garden with a play area for children. Great if you have children/dogs. If the weather is cold dogs are allowed in the bar area but there are only 3 or 4 tables there so you might like to book ahead. The food is really good -and the staff are very friendly.

We were a party of 6 booked for dinner at 6.30 pm . It took an hour for our food to arrive and 2out of 6 meals were sent back as they were cold. The clearly stressed server was mortified. 2 of the dishes were called beef bourgineon but were slabs of solid beef on the plate with a jug of gravy. Half the menu was unavailable to order and the place was deserted with the kitchen in darkness by 8.30pm. Shambles.

We walked in to a wonderful earthy smelling quaint old pub, in a beautiful country setting. Free parking without registration was beneficial. Beside the entrance is a new structure for outside dining, or smoking, with heaters. Dining inside is a fresh, cosy restaurant, with plenty to hold your attention. The attention to detail is no less displayed by all the staff, pleasant, attentive and welcoming. We had a homemade pie and a burger, followed by crumble and custard. The quality and flavours shone through, and it was also nice to find the 50% off on food is extended into September. Overall a very pleasant experience which we will be repeating soon. Take the chance it will be worth it.

Went yesterday for lunch, nice setting, nice large garden but very slow for our food to arrive, around 40 minutes and they weren't that busy.A table of six opposite us had left a right mess on the table and I watched two girls come over and pick up all the dirty glasses BY PUTTING THEIR FINGERS IN THEM. Was so shocked, they should have been picked up and put on a tray. I would hope that they then washed their hands but if not, they were delivering our food and cutlery with hands that had come into contact with the other diner's saliva. They then made no attempt to sanitise or even wipe the table, they pushed the chairs back up to it and I could see all the sticky drinks still glistening on the table.Another couple came ten minutes later and sat at the table, blissfully unaware of the pub's complacent attitude to their safety.Roast beef overcooked and chewy, Yorkshire puds overcooked and potatoes not crispy - a poor experience.I dont like to do a business down post lockdown but having seen what great lengths other pubs have gone to, there is no excuse for this.

Met up with my parents (mid 80s) and my sister for lunch. I chose it, having had a pleasant meal there a year before. Started well with the ambiance and friendly staff. Starters took an age to arrive, but were very good. the place was half full at most, so I don't why it took so long.Mains were not very good.  My sister didn't get what she ordered.  Given how long we had waited she ate it anyway.  My wife's fish pie was pretty awful. Not too sure what burger I got, but it didn't appear to match the description on the menu.Nearly 2 hours for a 2 course meal without coffee etc is too long for a pub lunch.We didn't complain at the time as I know it wouldn't have pleased Mum and Dad.3 stars is generous but I guess everywhere has it's "bad" days and the starters were great.

Excellent Sunday lunch at the Rose & Crown and amazed at how busy it was on a late Sunday afternoon, as I did not have a reservation but managed to get a table. It’s great to see small pubs like the Rose & Crown doing good business so do support them.Menu were brought straight away and some tap water, choice was a little limited on the Sunday menu but you are here for a roast dinner so perhaps a good thing. My baked goats cheese salad was delicious, nice salad leaves, the addition of beets and walnuts added to the flavor. The game & port pate was very tasty, but perhaps a little more toast would have been an idea.The roast beef main was a feast, the yorkshire perfectly crispy and light, lashings of gravy, perfect roasties and a nice selection of veggies and the best roast beef, nicely cut and a very decent portion, tender and not at all tough. Meat is from local suppliers and fresh.Service was faultless, very attentive, plates cleared away instantly, water bottle refilled without hesitation, the bill came when requested and the staff were very interactive with others customers , friendly and provided excellent service which deserved a good tip!

My wife and I visited with my uncle and aunt. First of all I have to say we loved the ambience of this pub, they have a good car park and garden area. We had made a reservation for Sunday lunch and that was seamless. Overall the service was friendly and personable. We actually appreciated the slow service as we were catching up, however for others the service would have been to slow. We all ordered two roast beef, one pork and one lamb shank between us. For me the beef was over cooked and I would have preferred it medium-rare. The pork and lamb though were cooked well. The veg on the other hand was below average the parsnips under cooked, the roast potato especially were a disappointment. We ordered an extra cauliflower cheese which was delicious but at £3.50 was just to expensive. All in all we spent £32 per person for a Sunday roast, two pints, a coffee and a dessert each and this for me is just not value for money. The desserts in particular feel like they should be £2 cheaper.

Booked for Sunday lunch as reviews were excellent. Must say was very disappointed. The Sunday roast was average; the potatoes were hard on the outside as though they had been cooked the night before and the Yorkshire was overcooked. The portion size was small. The staff however were very attentive. Wouldn't go again.

We visited on a friday night. This is a pub first and a restaurant second. It was a warm evening, so we chose to eat outside. This means you have to order at the bar, which takes ages. Also outside, everyone smokes which is unpleasant when you're eating.Food was nice, not a huge choice for vegetarians and only one item on the menu is actually marked as (V).

We came here for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary - they had their Wedding drinks here 50 years ago. It was great that it was still around - so many pubs have closed down now. We sat in the garden for a while so the children could play in the little park area, and with the bat and ball. We went inside and it is very cosy. The food was great and reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. They also had a live band which gave the whole evening a great atmosphere. We will definitely be coming here again.

I visited today with a few friends and had a lovely lunch in the sunshine in the pretty garden outside. Food was excellent quality and good value and service was outstanding! This is becoming a favourite. So close to Ricky but you really feel in the country. Looking forward to my next visit already.

A very enjoyable evening out with excellent food. My partner had the fish pie.Thin crisp pastry was packed full of fish and the sauce served separately in a little milk churn was creamy and piping hot. I had best-ever chips with my chicken burger. All the staff were welcoming and professional and the atmosphere was convivial and relaxing. Unfortunately, for vegetarians the only listed main course option was a warm goats cheese salad. Definitely warrants a return visit.

Haven't been for years and decided to give it a try. A lovely spot with attractive decor and conservatory. But you expect more than steak pie and chips, fish and chips, burgers and £7.60 for a glass of wine. Quiet evening but quite a long wait. Very pleasant and polite waitresses.So not on our list for another visit. Sad - used to be so good.

Came here on Saturday evening for dinner with my boyfriend. The service was excellent, very friendly, attentive and waitresses were knowledgeable on all dishes. I had an ice cold Grapefruit G&T;, followed by very crispy coated, succulent calamari - delicious. The manager recommended one of their burgers and it was absolutely fantastic. Chargrilled, with a soft brioche bun and coated in a spicy BBQ sauce with crispy onions. Accompanied with really crispy sweet potato fries.

We took a friend with us for a meal. I had the Blues bothers burger meal and a pint of old rosie. My wife had the baked goats cheese salad as a main course and an old rosie shandy, my wife’s friend had the Dukes of hazard burger meal with sweet potato fries and a half of old rosie. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and a bit of banter with the staff. Will definitely return.

Went to Black Horse in Harrow & had a terrible experience last Sunday so we thought we would come here. Wow - lovely food great service & atmosphere. I had the roast beef - delicious and hubby had the chicken very nice. Puddings yummy as well. Well worth the visit - a bit pricier than others but worth it as it's so disappointing when you get served dried up food & cardboard steak as in the Black Horse last Sunday.

I recently visited The Rose and Crown with my son on Mothers' Day, unplanned and without booking, and we had a wonderful time. Despite the pub being incredibly busy, we were greeted warmly, and space was made for us at a small table in the bar, so that we wouldn't be disappointed. The service was excellent, and the food - the camembert and goats cheese - was quick, and tasty. Based on this experience, I chose to take my husband there this past Sunday, and I am sorry to say that this time the experience was not a positive one. Our server was in training - which of course is not a problem - but unfortunately she was not attentive, and therefore it meant I had to constantly chase her attention. The Beer was lovely, but the prosecco was cold. I had a burger which was cold, and the cheese and bacon was tough and tasteless. My husband's meal was fairly good, and he did enjoy the sweet. Unfortunately, at the end, the server made an error with our bill - giving us the receipt for the wrong table, which had a lesser amount to pay. Therefore, when we presented the amount of money, we were told - without much grace - that we owed more than we had given. The manager was called, who explained what had happened, but no attempt to apologise, or to recover the fact that we had been made to feel it was our fault, was made. It was a shame, as my previous visit there had been so lovely, but I do feel that this experience would prevent me from coming back again. It was simply not good enough for the amount we paid.

Been here many times and never disappointed. Varied menu at reasonable prices including a large selection of gluten free, beers well kept, often with guest beers which change regularly, some excellent 'specials' including weekly burger and beer for £10, monthly quiz nights and dog walking. Staff are very good, attentive without being annoying and provide service with a smile.

The Rose and Crown is a cosy pub with a rustic garden. We felt the food was variable in terms of quality, although the starters of goats cheese and baked camembert were good. However, one of our party had a bean burger for the main meal which was covered in mustard but that wasn’t mentioned on the menu.

Have visited the Rose and Crown several times recently. I am not a 'drinker' and therefore cannot comment on the beers etc. What I can say is that it's always very welcoming with a fire burning in the winter months, a nice choice of food with quality ingredients and good portions...but, most of all, brilliant staff. Ellie is a gem, always looking after you, nothing seems too much trouble. It's good old customer service with a smile...something that has been lost in so many establishments over the years.

What a mess with their order collection / organisation system. They need order numbers and better tracking of orders. Seems like the managers / owners are too micromanaging and stuck on process and no
