We were spending Easter weekend in the area and ended up going to the Rose & Crown three days in a row! They had the best British pies I ever had, very generous and delicious food, lovely and friendly staff, and a wonderful setting. What more can you hope for after a days walk and bike in the country? Can’t recommend more!

Lovely old pub with friendly atmosphere and staff. Great pub grub we enjoyed the calves liver perfectly cooked and served with rich gravy, buttery mash and fresh green beans. Puds are original and very large , the apple crumble was home made, sweet and crunchy topping. Came with proper custard. There is a very well balanced and interesting wine list, all reasonably priced by todays wine costs, both by glass and bottle. We will be returning very soon.

Lunch for 7 family and friends after shooting clay pigeons for the boys and spa at woodside for the girls. As usual enjoyed a warm welcome and a fabulous meal. The curried vegetable soup hit the spot on a cold day. Another of the party had the scotch egg. He's usually generous and offers a taste, I noted he was quiet during the starters and that he'd scraped his plate clean !! Tempora prawns were delicious. We followed up with burgers, again delicious, fish pie creamy heartening perfectly seasoned and fish and chips, absolutley scrumptious. Such generous portions be sure to wear your elasticated trousers. Only one of the party had pudding ( too full) and on Debs recommendation went for the rhubarb cheesecake..... divine!!!!! Thanks to all the staff that always make our experience brilliant.

Decided to pop in for a drink on our way home on a Sunday and after seeing the Roasts being delivered to other customers had no choice but to order one, best decision of the day. Really nice food , friendly service and the place was packed with a great atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

A friendly welcome. Attentive, friendly, helpful and the most genuine of service. This was a great start... but... The Sunday roast was every bit as good. Delivered with flare, but with all of the pride that goes into a truly excellent home cooked meal. Great flavours, textures and seasoning.. Rounded off with seeing genuine laughter from and with the staff. All delightful!

Called in with friends for lunch. The welcome from the friendly staff was warm and welcoming as opposed to the rain and cloud outside. There was a good choice of drinks (including different varieties of non-alcoholic beers) and an equally good choice on the menu (we all settled for gammon with bubble and squeak and fried eggs, which I can certainly recommend). The portion sizes were ample and very good value for money. An excellent lunch and would recommend.

We had a superb meal on Saturday night as always. We both had creamy garlic mushrooms to start. This actually isn’t on the summer menus as it’s more of a winter dish but because chef knows how much we enjoy them, he makes them for us especially! I had fish pie for my main and my partner had the chicken burger, both delicious. The chocolate brownie pudding was great as well. 5* food, wonderful friendly service - what more could you ask for!?

What an absolute gem of a pub! We were camping in the area, and my son and I and our dog had been walking nearby. We were absolutely soaked through and looking for some food and warmth. I asked the lady behind the bar if they were dog friendly, and she explained where we could sit. The welcome from the very beginning was warm and friendly. The food was outstanding and very reasonably priced. Kim, the lady behind the bar, was fantastic and looked after us so well! Kim even offered to tumble dry our wet clothes and offered us a lift to our campsite. Every village needs a local this good! Thank you so much for your hospitality, Diane and Jacob x

Second trip was absolutely superb,we were accommodated very easily as another group was in and Lisa let us slightly change the menu to suit,the Meal was incredible, Belly pork that melted in your mouth and dauphinois potatoes with a French pea sauce that was so tasty.

Home cooked and freshly prepared food. We booked here for an early dinner on Sunday. The food was excellent. My wife had the mince and onion pie and I had the burger. The flavour of the burger was beautiful and not dry. The pie was a proper shortcrust pastry pie not a stew with a pasty lid cokes separately as in other establishments. We both had starters too. I had the cheeseboard; 3 cheeses with plenty biscuits etc. I couldn’t finish it and took the cheddar home. They don’t have a children’s menu but will do a smaller portion of the main menu.

Had heard great things about this pub and it's clearly very popular. Busy Sunday evening on a B/Hol weekend and good covid restrictions in place.

Such a wonderful evening had by all last night at the Rose & Crown I don't know where to start. Respectful and well planned out covid control, really decked out the garden area to still make it comfortable and a nice area to sit even if the weather isn't up to scratch. As soon as you walk through the door the staff are polite and welcoming. Looking at a below review regarding the landlord, we too are regulars and have never received anything other a warm welcome and excellent service from all. Now let's get down to the food, one word... exceptional, the presentation, portions and above all the taste all 10/10 the chef certainly knows his stuff. We had a party of 6 and there was not one grumble (certainly not from our stomachs) as everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend the steak or any specials they have on I had venison steak (a special) and every bite was mouth watering. Needless to say we'll be back very soon. Thank you Dermot, Lisa, Kim and all the staff for such a fantastic evening.

He had one thin slice of Salmon accompanied by a small stack of crushed potatoes, a couple of little dots of salsa , some vegetables would of been nice and at £14.95 !!! I’m just glad we tried this when it was the Eat out offer and only paid half that

So pleased to have found this pub today!! We are camping nearby and I saw the good reviews for here so thought we would drive out to it for drinks. Immediately we knew it was a real gem of a pub... beautifully presented and the CLEANEST we have ever been in! A well thought out system in place for COVID (the best we have seen in any pub since pubs opened again), and it’s explained in a friendly and welcoming way. The people who run this pub have everything just right! Great play area, simple but all 4 kids were fully entertained (aged between 6 and 11), generous child sized portions of the standard menu and ice lollies/ice creams offered for their dessert. We were so relaxed that we had to order lots of food! Although the specials were tempting, (the John Dory sounded superb) we would recommend the ploughman’s and the burgers from the main menu - off the scale delicious and such good value for money - even without the ‘eat out’ scheme we felt it was very reasonably priced for such lovely food. Thanks Rose and Crown team for being the highlight of our little camping trip!

My husband and I visited this fantastic little pub today for lunch and we were amazed how friendly and welcoming the staff were , we were allowed to bring in our large German Pointer dog who was given a big bowl of fresh water and doggy treats he loved this! The Fire was crackling and warm, We ordered drinks and were given a very tasty smoked cheese and prawn aperitif, My husband had Ham, egg and chips and the Ham was plenty and thick, the egg had a beautiful dark yolk , so I’m guessing sourced local and not supermarket bought, I chose the Homemade Falafel burger as am vegetarian and wow wow wow it was delicious served with chips and a homemade slaw ! The portions were brilliant and when I thought I couldn’t eat anymore , hubby and I decided on recommendation from staff to try homemade banoffee pie and boy we were not disappointed it really was the best I’ve ever had with a caramelised banana on top yummy, could not fault the staff, the service or the food and the fact our dog was made so welcome too , keep up the good work and compliments to the chef Highly recommend a visit and as I don’t live too far will definitely be going back especially for banoffee pie

We visited for dinner as a party of seven friends. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was plentiful and enjoyable, and the service was just as it should be. Two of our party were vegetarian, and were catered for admirably. No pretention at 'fine dining' - just first-class traditional English pub food. The Harvey's was well-kept, too.

Friendly country pub with excellent ales and fabulous food. Just outside the village of Pluckley in Kent and down a quiet country lane. Well worth a visit.

Not the easiest to find but well worth the effort. A real gem that warrants a main entry in the Good Pub Guide. Visited a week ago and had an excellent Sunday evening meal but even more impressive was the warm welcome from the landlord, great service and a couple of lovely pints. Hope to return one day.

Lovely spot on a nice day. Dog friendly and great coffee. Parking can be a bit difficult if busy. Very friendly.
