Rose and Crown in Bromley

Very expensive drinks (£13 for my glass of wine!) - which has always been the case here but what was different this time was the service. Despite only turning up at 8.30pm, they called last orders at 9.30 and continued to make it very clear we weren't welcome any longer blowing out candles and very noisily clearing everything away around us. Despite raising this with the staff there were no apologies just pushed it back to us we should have checked their website to know it shut at 10pm. I definitely won't be returning there are much nicer and friendlier pubs in the area with nice drinks at a reasonable price. Such a shame, this pub should be busy on a weeknight but I'm not surprised it's not with the service and cost.

The pub and food were fine but, even though I entered my car registration details, I was sent a demand notice for a fine. I see the 'Time of Contravention' was 2 hours after I arrived. Perhaps they put a two-hour restriction on time to eat your dinner? I see from other posts that appealing the fine is pointless and I was treated to the meal so have no receipt. With £100 fine, I won't be coming back. They need to sort this or will lose a lot of customers this way.

Group of ladies at lunch , a couple of us ordered macaroni cheese which was tasteless, and when we pointed it out to the staff who collected the plates (mostly uneaten) was very non plus about our comments on the fact that our meal was not satisfactory.

I was looking for a decent pub to take my wife and grandson to for lunch as there seemed to be slim pickings locally. [Selsdon, Croydon] It was worth the 20 minute drive to this venue. Plenty of free parking but you have to remember to register your car at the bar on arrival. Lots of seating, nice clean eating areas, decor was quirky but nice to look at. We sat in the extension area which was nice and quiet. Very friendly and helpful staff, food arrived in a timely fashion, all well cooked and presented. We had garlic bread to start, then mains of burger, ham, egg and chips and eggs, lots of ham, steak ciabatta and drinks plus sticky toffee pudding and an eaton mess. This came to just under £100. I would recommend this venue and we will visit again, maybe for breakfast.

Came with family to celebrate birthday. Monday lunchtime not busy at all but still had to chase for menus as staff seemed to be messing around with each other. All a bit flirty. Anyway, my advice is skip the starters as they are an absolute rip-off. £10.95 for prawn cocktail and it’s was sooo small with minimal prawns and sauce. Mains were excellent. Truly lovely fish and chips and the peas and sauces were superb. Only had 3 glasses of wine and the bill for 4 of us was £212!! This included a £20 service charge (which I could have debated as service was not great) Overall the value for money was ok if you go for mains only and drink in the Queens head first up the road!!

My family and I chose the Rose and Crown pub for our belated Fathers day drinks. I entered my car's vehicle registration details at the iPad on the bar as instructed. There was no information alongside these self printed signs to advise that the free parking here is actually time limited. It is also not advertised on their website, nor did any member of staff advise us of this. I received a parking fine a few days later. Upon appeal they stated my registration details were not recorded on their system - I was shocked by this and stated I would be happy for CCTV to be viewed to prove I had in fact entered my registration details. Failing this, I sent a bank statement showing I was a customer on that day. GXS sent a rather passive aggressive response with copious photos of the parking signage from Rose and Crown. The only information stating there was a time limit on free parking (which was clear and actually readable) was on their menu, we did not eat anything at the pub and only had drinks, so how are customers in this position meant to know there is a free parking time limit?! I see this has also happened to other customers (registration details not being stored) and it seems nothing is being done to address the issue through open, honest, clear signage regarding time limits to parking. As a family run business I am shocked at how they allow GXS to treat customers and their appeals. Needless to say myself and my family will not be returning here and I will be advising others to avoid it too. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere where they respect and value their customers time, experience, and money.

Tucked away in the heart of Green St Green, The Rose and Crown is a charming escape that captures the essence of English hospitality. From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped in a warm embrace by the lovely staff, whose genuine smiles and attentive service set the stage for a memorable evening. Our choice of libation, a bottle of Prosecco, priced at just £37.95, was a delightful surprise in both quality and affordability, adding a touch of sparkle to our evening. Overall, The Rose and Crown is a true gem, combining lovely staff, a beautiful garden, and an exceptional drinks selection. It's the perfect retreat for any occasion, and we're already counting down the days until our next visit.

What can I say about the Rose and Crown? It is bloody brilliant. I had some friends visit me from Ireland over the weekend and I was keen to impress so I took them for a spot of lunch at the Rose & Crown. My friends feedback - It was one of the nicest pub lunches they have ever had even in Ireland ! I also treated them to a bottle of Prosecco for the occasion and was surprised to see it was a generous price of £37.95 as the quality was outstanding. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area and Sean 'our server' was second to none. Regards

We ordered a bottle of Prosecco, a pint of beer , and a Coke Zero …. This came to £48 !!! We enquired re the Prosecco & it was £37 a bottle !!! This is an absolute disgrace … I am a local & I will not be returning and I will be spreading the word !!!

£37 for a bottle of Prosecco is daylight robbery. Should be £20 max. Will not be going back. No wonder these pubs complain they struggle.

Very impressed with food and service. We had a lovely lunch (4 of us plus 2 dogs) and a walk in the woods behind the pub. Recommend the fishcakes, pie, steak and omelette. The service was excellent and our waitress, Caitlin, was quick to provide everything we needed and in a very efficient and friendly manner. Lovely pub.

Warm welcome and they did make an effort to ensure we had all we needed as a large group. I thought the starters were expensive. I enjoyed the vegan burger. Usually places over compensate and all lots of spice. It wasn't spicy and was flavoursome. Fish and chips are a winner here. I did put in number plate details for parking so hopefully all okay. Great garden for kids. Clean loos. Asking for food choices beforehand is a good idea. Less chaotic for all and no delays.

Wonderful friendly helpful staff - all went above and beyond for various requests. Thank you. Food was good and atmosphere was nice. Excellent staff.

Very smart interior but no comfortable seating if you are on your own. Staff are smart and helpful, but I found the prices much higher than the other pubs in the area. Unfortunately won't return.

Lovely pub lunch with welcoming staff and the best chips I’ve ever eaten. Enough choice, well presented and a warm stop off on a grey wet day.

Throughly enjoyed our valentines meal here tonight. We met in this pub 25 years ago so came back to reminisce (although it’s changed so much!) we were welcomed with a genuine snile by Andy the manager who was helpful and friendly, knew we were coming as has pre booked but the whole evening was perfect. The food was really tasty, the table service was spot on, no rush but attentive. Couldn’t fault it at all and will deffo return in the summer to see the garden which I was told is pretty amazing. Heartfelt thanks for a really pleasant evening.

A lovely pub. Great atmosphere, wonderful attentative staff. It had a warm, welcoming feel. Beautifully decorated. Great food.

Came here to meet with friends for the anniversary of our friend passing away, we ordered a lot and paid good money to be there. I then get hit with a £160 for parking, the signs are not clear at all and I was given no instruction by staff. Definitely won’t be returning and will spread the word. Completely money grabbing motives and can see multiple people have had the same issue.

Everything seemed good with the pub, the food was good, friendly service, and not bad badly priced at all. However, two months later, received a parking fine for £170, the parking company claims we failed to respond to any letters. Refused any form of receipt, refused any form of appeal and sent us straight to legal recovery. Disgusting behaviour and will definitely not be returning to this pub due to the archaic parking rules. Avoid, avoid, avoid at all costs.

Nice evening spoilt by a £100 parking fine. I shall not be returning and I think it is disgusting that a pub / restaurant would make money farming this out to a parking management company.

Really friendly and helpful staff. Food was good and portions generous. Lovely welcoming atmosphere with open fire.

I have been to this pub a few times before without any issues. Things though have changed. At the front door, rather than a friendly welcome, you are greeted by a blackboard warning you to enter you vehicle reg no. once in side or be penalised. A few feet later when you get to the bar, you are then told the same message by a sign on a pillar. When I then tried to enter details on the touch screen machine, it did not work. What a fuss and palaver this all is before you even get to choose your drinks. Totally off-putting and unfriendly. Will not be back.

Food is overpriced. The portions are meagre - don't order the fishcakes if you are hungry - they looked like a starter and the "poached," egg was solid! ☹️

Tables and chairs about to fall apart. Table surfaces sticky to touch. Food not very inspiring when placed in front of you, I had a tasteless burger. Best I can say is, never again.

Wasn’t overly clear, we were served menus to our table and eventually we discovered that the waiter was an illusion and we had to go to the bar to order. Server at the bar was a tad abrupt as we didn’t fit her preferred ordering style. Food, at best was ok. Not exciting, not great pub food just average and unexciting. I ordered a soda and lime and was served a lemonade and lime, couldn’t be bothered to challenge it. Highlight of the visit was the reasonably clean and pretty well set up toilets. Sadly, unmemorable.

Second visit to your amazing pub tonight. Food just as tasty and good value as the first visit. What makes you stand out are your staff. Remembered Cameron from the first visit what an asset to your pub he is . Absolutely outstanding service he made us so welcome and nothing was to much trouble he is a legend and makes you want to visit again one of the nice guys and there are very few of them about nowadays

Amazing pub!! had a bad experience at one nearby but this one saved our bacon!! Highly recommended.

Superb food (bangers amd mash, full of flavour) delivered quickly in a friendly and comfortable environment. Will definitely visit again

Can’t believe I’ve never been here before! What a lovely local pub - have driven past hundreds of times but never been in. We have just returned from a very last minute booking for 2 which was accommodated with no problems when we called to see if they had availability and was so happy they still had roasts left at 6pm! Fab quality and plenty of veg variety, the pub is large but has a cosy feel with the fires and fairy lights. Warm, relaxed and friendly service too. Will absolutely be back as a first choice pub going forward, will be back for their live music later in the month!

A lovely pub. Staff good. Food excellent. The only let down was the wine. I ordered a glass of Rioja and it had a acid aftertaste so not very nice and for the privilege it cost £11.00 +. My husband had the guest beer and that was very good as well. I think they probably need to review their wines at that price!!

Lunch was ok and sevice good. However despite registering the car at the bar I received a parking charge notice for £100 just like others have reported. I have appealed but I will no longer take the chance, not worth the stress. Sad, but while they use Gxs parking services they will lose customers. I will warn my friends fir sure.

I had a really enjoyable lunch with my two beautiful daughters. The food was very tasty and reasonably priced and the service was outstanding. The young man behind the bar on arrival was so friendly and helpful unfortunately didnt get his name but had an impressive tattoo on his neck. A young lady called Emily was outstanding she should be commended for her friendly cheery attitude to customers and an asset to the pub

The menu selection was varied, the gluten free options were a pleasant surprise, the main and best part if our experience was the service we received from Ash. He was brilliant! Kind, funny and tentative. I loved it so much that I've booked my birthday dinner there. Thanks Ash!

If you go here be aware they issue parking charges even if you enter your number on the parking machine. Make sure u video the number plate being entered!

Food was okay. A bit expensive for what you get. Beware of parking. Received a parking charge even though I was a paying customer. Appealed but not successful. Pub not interested as outsourced. Would not frequent again purely on this basis.

I entered my registration number as directed and got the green tick! Okay I thought? Then received a parking fine in the post 2 weeks later. I appealed saying I had a witness to my entry, this was denied. Another friend I was lunching with took a photograph of her entry on the Ipad complete with the green tick. The food is ordinary, not worth going to if your are going to be fined even if you have entered you reg number.

Very enjoyable Sunday lunch! First time to the Rose and Crown for a roast and it didn’t disappoint . We had pork and beef roasts on our table and they were both good! Tasty vegetables served on the side for table to help themselves. Would also like to say that it’s been a while since I’ve experienced such good customer service! Every member of staff was friendly and helpful.

Went to meet a friend I hadn’t seen for a couple of years. Never noticed the parking signs and got a £100 ticket. Appeal declined even with evidence of purchase. Not coming back! What is this - a money making exercise.

Went on 29 th June with my elderly uncle for lunch. Got to the bar and ordered drinks which were brought over to our table. It was not busy, in fact there were only 4 people in the restaurant including ourselves. Have been here many...

Watch out! They charge you a fine even if you can prove you are a paying customer and told us it would be accepted if we appealed but it has not! I wouldn’t go here…

Would not come here again. This is not a review about the service or food but about the parking company they have employed. I made a genuine mistake not entering my details at the bar and received a PCN. I submitted an appeal explaining what...

The lunch was great, as always, but the £100 parking fine I received wasn't so good. I've been here several times and never expected this.

Amazing Sunday lunch! Just what was needed after a long walk. Food was excellent as always. Myself and Family have been going to the Rose and Crown for years. Andy and his great team make you feel at home and give such good service. Probably...

There is a buzzy atmosphere in the pub and friendly, helpful staff but.... the food is OK but very overpriced. Won't eat here again, may pop in for a beer.

The good: Fish dishes were just right, enjoyed them. The fish and chips are amazing (£16). Friendly staff. The bad: Fish cakes were more potato than fish. Burgers are not as good as they used to be, now 2 thin patties of lower grade mince,...

Roast was below par. Meat portions were small for the price - for example chicken roast for £19 had a leg, about a quarter of a breast and a pig in blanket. Roast potatoes weren’t crispy and leaked oil/water when cut in to. Veg sharer...

Haven't eaten in here for a long time, so I booked a Sunday lunch when we went. The service was great, and the food was amazing. It may be a little more expensive than other restaurants in the area, but it's worth paying a bit...

We booked the large tiki hut for a multiple birthday celebration at end of 2022 (late review due to technical problems!). I popped into the pub several times before the date to check on arrangements and every time the staff on duty were friendly, welcoming...

Lovely food and wonderful service. The log stoves were burning but the doors were open so the smoke filled the room. We stank of smoke when we got home and it has triggered a bad asthma attack.

there is a bar-persona here called Tim/Tom/Don/Ron. He has kind eyes and mince pies. we like Tim/Tom/Don/Ron.

A group of us visited this evening for a Christmas get together. We pre ordered the food as there was about 25 of us. The food was beautiful and the portions were very generous and service very good too. Thank you, would definitely recommend.

We went for Saturday lunch. It was not busy at all. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food (ham egg and chips, bread and oils and cod tacos) came within about 5 minutes. Obviously not freshly cooked. Main complaint was the starter of bread...

Had my daughter’s birthday celebrations in the garden pods. Family and friends all had a great time which was down to the hardworking and friendly staff. Garden is beautiful and pods very comfortable, outside beach huts make it so easy to get a drink without...

What a disappointment, after the glowing reviews my group visited on Friday evening. The menu was expensive and the beer more so. There are other pubs nearby that are much better value. In fairness the service was good and the waitress was friendly and attentive.

Great food, lovely staff, nothing too much trouble. A very well managed pub. We were a party of 8 mostly having roasts but the menu is very extensive. The staff took the time to find out how we wanted the beef cooked and all the...

It’s a nice pub with a great garden. The prices are shocking though. 1 pint of Moretti, 1 large pino rose, two bottles of Orange juice for the kids. £24.15. I appreciate the cost of things has gone up, but I won’t ever be back....

Fun. Friendly & clean - Lovely breakfast .Food was beautifully cooked & hot. Delicious. Catered for our coeliac sister

Really good outdoor facilities for kids and friendly staff, generally speaking. The food tastes ok but is a little bit and miss. Generally the quality is pretty good but still way overpriced for what it is. Sunday roasts coming in between £17 and £22 is...

Lovely decor inside and out. Great food. Great service. Wouldn’t fault anything. Will be going again.

Fabulous food, brilliant staff. Could not have been better. Fish cakes were delicious and the fish and chips was huge. We ate it all. Desserts great size to share and taste really good.

We visited the Rose and Crown yesterday evening for Birthday drinks & food, the pub has such a lovely atmosphere, the food was great, the service was fantastic the whole team could not have been more helpful. We will all definitely be back soon.

What can I say about this pub? Absolutely magnificent establishment, has something for everyone. I stumbled across this pub randomly on a Saturday night and decided to have a quick pint....10 hours later I felt like one of the locals, what a good bunch of...

Myself and my partner visited The Rose & Crown last week as I am a huge fan of the A21. It is my post lockdown aim to visit every pub on this amazing route which was built on 13th April 1927. Anyway, back to this...

We had a family get together (12 of us) and we’re looked after so well. The table was great, the service was excellent (especially remembering 12 drinks!!), and the food, all different was excellent both main and puddings. Couldn’t fault it fir anything. Many thanks.

We had a fantastic Christmas lunch yesterday . A group of 9 ladies. Excellent service so well looked after .Food was delicious A big thank you to Andy and his staff

From the moment we stepped inside the staff were friendly and welcoming, we were seated straight away. The atmosphere in the pub is lovely a mix of families, couples and friends seated around us. The food was delicious and plentiful. The hot chocolate was amazing...

Excellent Sunday roast with my daughter who is vegetarian. I had the pork. Friendly and efficient service, lovely ambiance and hot, plentiful and tasty food. I can’t wait to go again. Booking recommended as it was busy.

Great venue. Great play area for the kids. Food was really nice however I've never experienced a meal where the plates are brought out to one table (we were a big party and spread across a few tables which were located together) and you collect...

Great visit with some friends. Great service and quality food and drink. Felt especially welcomed by Connor our server!

We had a pod for the evening and enjoyed the most delicious (the nachos- yum!) and faultless service. Particularly would like to mention Jamie who served us all evening with a smile on his face. Will be returning.

Lovely grounds to sit in with a variety of tables to chose from if your lucky. Menu pretty standard but, and especially at this time of year, only one salad selection on the menu. It's not difficult to be a little creative in the kitchen....

This was our first visit to this pub for a long time and we came here for lunch with friends. It looked promising at the start as we were grouped in a little buildimng in the garden and it appeared very pleasant. The menus arrived...

Spent an afternoon in garden area with group of eleven -whole afternoon was chasing up orders. Whilst the staff were clearly pleasant they were generally very young and poorly unorganised/inexperienced. Our actual hut / table waitress was trying her best with poor kitchen service but...

Waited ages for a drink, warm wine...eventually. Macoroni cheese that looked like it had come out of a tin! served with a hand full of frizzy leaves plus hard garlic bread. No gluten free beer, Lots of room for improvement.

We went for a family lunch on a beautiful summer day. Our youngest member thoroughly enjoyed the playground, whilst we sat in one of the novel Tiki huts, which was cool and very comfortable. The service and food was excellent. We will certainly return.

The food was very cheap and poorly cooked. Dry burnt burgers and over salted dishes galore. Unfortunate as the staff were very friendly and helpful but the food was incredibly poor.

Visited last night with my partner for dinner and drinks. Food was amazing and all the staff were polite, friendly and really helpful. Noticed a bad review for the nachos further down but I honestly can’t understand why, they were the best nachos we’ve had...

Omg i cant shout it loud enough this place is amazing, had lunch here yesterday, im currently pregnant and so having issues eating at the moment as im suffering nausea but i had no issues eating all my food here. I can honestly say ive...

Came here with my family for dinner as a treat and to enjoy the sun, The garden is great especially if you have children! The food really let it down for us though, I would not eat here again. The nachos were strange, plain cut...

Unfortunately not a very good experience at a pub which I have visited many times before. I had a table booked for dinner with 3 friends and on arrival we were shown our indoor table. As it was a nice evening and we were still...

We have been to this establishment now approx 5 or 6 times, however last night we decided to revisit for dinner with some friends of ours as we all have children and the outdoor seating area is the perfect spot for children, however whilst ordering...

The garden is brilliant but felt disappointed due to the food and service. We decided to dine at the Rose and Crown as we had heard good things and saw recent reviews so we was quite excited to see the garden area and enjoy some...

The Rose and Crown have spent a lot of time, energy and money on transforming what was already a great garden into one that meets regulations but also still appealing and good for families. Food options a great with lots for veggies and vegans and...

Visited with friends and family the second week after lockdown had ended. Still, easily the best pub in the area. All of the staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. Great garden and drinks and good served promptly. The manager here has to be one of...

Well organised when we got into restaurant but tried to phone to book table couple of times but nobody answered Food was okay had fish finger sandwich it did was on bloomed bread but was cheap white bread

My first outing since 7 March 2020 due to Lockdown and my first time at The Rose and Crown. I was very impressed with how well organised they were, ensuring everyone was safe and continued to follow Covid guidelines. The pub interior looked so comfortable...

Had an ok evening with pretty garden until a young girl with long brown hair was meant to be serving us, she was walking around with her hood up and a sour face and told us to pay now with a horrendous attitude. There were...

Having driven past the pub recently, I noticed that they are offering a breakfast takeaway menu, this morning I stopped by and indulged, It lifted my spirit to have a delicious breakfast cooked for me and I am afraid to say that I will definitely be going back for more.These enterprising people deserve our support, so if you are passing, pop In and enjoy!

We had booked The Rose and Crown for our Christmas lunch for the second year but due to Covid, our meal was cancelled. However we had the option to buy a Pre prepped Christmas box. Andy, the manager, dropped it to our house. The food was amazing, all prepared so easy to get ready. Great value for money. We really enjoyed it. Obviously we would have rather been in the pub. I just hope after Covid this pub will come back as it was before. Thank you Andy and we hope to see you soon.
