Rose and Crown in East Hertfordshire

Food was amazing! They even provide vegan/vegetarian options if preferred. Drinks were so good and affordable and the service was great!! The lady who served me named Xavia was so friendly but still professional. I will definitely will come back!!

Had the burger and home made onion rings, have to say it was one of the best in the area i have had. Staff are great also. Been back for more since.

Went with friends for drinks and food, could not fault it, staff friendly, food great, lovely location and great looking pub

Clean tidy pub. They had a coffee machine but it didn't work . Probably OK for other drinks. Plenty of parking space.

Where do I begin , I played golf and driving past this pub decided to pop in, lovely pub fantastic atmosphere but what an awful awful service. I don’t usually drop names but the blonde girl is as rude and extremely bad at pouring a pint. I usually like my beer but this arrogant person has unfortunately put me right off the pub , and moving forward I will be careful when going to other pubs , absolutely ruined my day.

Eugene was fantastic, great service

New owners let's see how it goes...hopefully food soon and then they may have impact and a fighting chance of making a go of it...so far friendly and good service

Came for drink , nice day weather wise but ruined as turned into a kindagarden pub ...surprised serving children...probably we're checking I'd sure they were as many girls looked 14ish

Amazing transformation, in terms of service and overall experience , the Rose & Crown Tewin is an opulent place to be. Based on first impressions the environment is clean and well organised and the staff are friendly, attentive and well trained. I hope to return once food is launched to leave just as satisfied as I am today ! xXx

Glad to see the pub has re-opened under nee management. I spent some time talking to the new guys behind the bar on Wednesday 1st May, who were all enthusiastic about reopening the pub and having locals and wider community coming back into the pub for drinks only. No food currently, but I understand they're looking for a chef soon enough! Great service either way, goodluck to you all!

Great to have the local village pub up and running again. We're had a lovely evening at the re-opening tonight. Good to see the pub busy and full of happy locals again.

Absolute worse pub I’ve been to , the landlord and family are prome to violence. I see the landlord shove someone of his bike when he wasn’t looking Glad they’ve now gone as plainly not fit to run a pub

Nice local pub. Really lovely landlady!

We had an appalling experience.One man on his own.Ten minutes after ordering we would told what one of us had ordered was unavailable. Were then given pints instead of the halves we had ordered. We then had a lengthy wait for the food which was very poor and over priced. The man was surly and even gave us the wrong change before we noticed we were 1£10short! All in all much to be avoided

We arrived at lunchtime on a Monday after doing some walking around Tewinbury. The pub was open but there was no one there! Then Emma came out to greet us and confirm they were open. The only thing was they had no internet so could only take cash or payment by bank transfer. We decided to stay because we wanted to have some food. Emma was very friendly and accommodating. The menus were being updated so she wrote out the options for us. We had a drink each and enjoyed the unusual situation of a quiet pub all to ourselves! Some people may not have enjoyed this, but we did. While we waited we were given some home-made cake which was delicious. We had just missed the knit and natter morning :) Overall a very good (and unique) experience. The food was really nice and not a bad price either.

Lovely homely roast . Just what we needed on a murky Sunday afternoon. Warm fire and friendly host and hostess. Could help us enough

Home cooked lovely food great atmosphere the staff were quick and friendly, I ordered lasagna and it was lovely will definitely be coming back soon.

This pub has such a nice vibe, open fire, lovely food and great drinks. Staff were amazing, timely service. Can’t wait to go back.

I visited the rose and crown for the first time about 6 months ago and revisited this month and what a transformation!!! Excellent service the place was fresh and clean , 100% improvement 👍🏻 I was in a party of 6 and would highly recommend for a night out ! Good food at reasonable prices and unlike a lot of pubs in the area had great local atmosphere!

Don’t know what some of these reviews are talking about but here’s my experience. Came here with my partner ordered 2 roast dinners ( which was a 10 out of 10 and made me feel back home at mums) and 2 Guinness’s. Staff was very friendly manager couldn’t be more polite and helpful and service was spot on. Even went the extra length and made me feel at home by offering us a free cup of tea or coffee after our drinks and dinner was over his name is Tom. The warm conversation with him during dinner also made me feel very welcome.

I had a really good night me and my friends have since been back on a few occasions. I found the bar staff and manager were fantastic made us feel welcome as we are from out of town Would recommend anyone to pop in and try out for them selves Pub will not disappoint

Lovely food great atmosphere highly recommend . Very good service will definitely be coming back. Chicken roast was delicious

Over Heard the owner talking about doing drugs on the weekend.

Incredibly rude. The barman will ignore you and act mortally offended if you ask him to do anything related to his job. Wouldn’t go back with a gun to my head.

I have came to this pub a few times since my partner has moved into the area and have never had a problem until today. When we first arrived, I waited at the bar for a few minutes whilst the two bar staff were serving other customers, the lady bar tender said that she’d be with me in a minute, however the male bar tender had finished serving his customer and then immediately ignored me and started to serve the customers that had walked in a few minutes behind me. The male bar tender finally decided to serve me a coke and a forsters, however the coke was flat. When my partner went to complain and ask for a fresh one the bar male bar tender was rude and made us to feel that we had inconvenienced him and returned eventually with a small mixer sized bottle of diet coke and said that’s all we’ll get because there more expensive. Absolutely shocking service, we won’t be back in a hurry. But however defiantly come here if you want to be treated rudely, made to feel that you’re the problem and whilst inconveniencing the staff every time you ask for a service that they offer. Well done rose and crown!! You’ve smashed it today!!

Bad news, Asphalls cider is being replaced with the awful Inches which is taking over all the pubs in the area. One of my favourite pubs so can't drink here anymore

popped in for some lunch with friends, I highly recommend the chicken burger. The service was efficient, really lovely friendly staff especially the manager. Would recommend for a friendly pub to bring the family

Went here for lunch with my hubby and kids. Food was lovely, it was reasonably priced. It had a nice atmosphere and we were really impressed with the kids play area. The staff made us feel really welcome and the manager was really good with my toddlers! Couldn’t rate this place more, will definitely be back

Absolutely disgusted with what I witnessed in this pub tonight, a member of staff ( apparently the manager, his name was Tom) assault a customer by punching him in his face causing him to bleed from multiple places, this behaviour is absolutely unacceptable at any times, but when your running an establishment like a pub an assaulting customers you should be disgusted in yourself an re evaluate weather your able to do so. Won’t be returning a wouldn’t reccomend to anyone going there.

Lovely pub and food available second to none and fish in pond in garden etc it's ace

The food and drink was excellent also serve was good as pub was very busy fish and chips was fantastic

Omg the Sunday roast was amazing, you need to do a good walk first as so much food. Chicken, stuffing, yorkies and 7 veggies. Friendly staff and very dog friendly

we popped in for Sunday lunch, what we had was nice but there wasn't a lot on the plate, 2 roast potatoes each, small yorkshire pudding, small amount of vegetables, they brought out a little milk size jug of gravy, overall a bit of a let down, we were still hungry afterwards, not worth the £18.95-~£20.00 charge per meal.

Recently taken over by Tom, the son of the previous landlord, who couldn't do enough for us! The ale was really well kept, and the food delicious! Lovely pub in a lovely village. I wish Tom every success with his venture.

Delicious, reasonably priced food and a very friendly welcome. Will definately go back

Went for a massive walk around Tewin today and popped in for a roast and was not disappointed. Absolutely delicious roast beef dinner, lovely staff and best of all, really dog friendly! Thank you for being so lovely, I can’t wait to come back for another visit! 😍🐾😋x

NIGHTMARE A totally unique experience! Place was empty, apart from a bunch of LOUD local drinkers (Owners buddies) We were having a drink and looking through the menu, when a large black rat ran under our table! Of course we were horrified, and went get out of there ASAP. But the owner started shouting at us, as he was waiting for us to order! We did not get into a shouting match, as the husband and wife owners are VERY weird and aggressive! In all my years in Worldwide restaurants and Country Pubs, Ive NEVER been is such an intimidating and abusive situation. Just AVOID at all costs!

Popped in for a well deserved drink, during a walk. The staff were friendly and it was a pleasure to sit in their beer garden.

An experience par-excellence...!

Great atmosphere nice and relaxed. Would like to be able to try the food one day ;)

Having used this pub alot since the 70s ..was a bit put out when told by Sean he's fed up with me asking for "a pint with not too much froth please" as if I'm ripping him off...which I wouldn't do anyway...so now I am barred.....but not for long..... Bondsy.

Unusually quiet today for Sunday lunchtime. Probably too hot for many. Too hot for a roast dinner. But perfect for a couple of cooling pints.

Stopped here for a sunday lunch 1 pm after our 1st beautiful walk in the area. Albeit a small menu on the wall, good choice, something for everyone. More importantly fantastic food, we both had roast chicken and everything on the plate was cooked to perfection, loved the roasties, carrot mash and gravy as well as the chicken. Pleasant and friendly staff, not over-attentive. SO glad we ignored the reviews below. The pub was very quiet, so we Il definitely be bringing our friends next time!.:) Thankyou!

Awful ! Turned up today and was given a hand written menu scribbled on a piece of paper with 6 options. Table undressed in a dark cold room. No menus, no cutlery, no atmosphere, just nothing. Asked the manager for a proper menu, and was told they don’t have any !! And he walked away. What a shame for a beautiful building & location in a pretty village. No wonder the pub was completely empty on a Sunday lunchtime. Would give no stars if I could. Rubbish! We left immediately and went to a wonderful pub with great service, and fabulous menu.

Extremely rude!! We rang and booked a table. When we arrived there was no food left. We spoke to the manager to be told we don’t take bookings in a very rude manner, no apology or consideration for the fact we had driven 25 mins or had 2 hungry children. What a joke avoid this pub like the plague.😖

Lovely service cosy in winter and lots of out door space for summer...Sunday Roadt and burgers to die for

Seany and his family provide a nice little pub with good food at a very reasonable price. A good place to start/end a country walk, as it is surrounded by lovely countryside with plenty of footpaths.

Beautiful village pub run by the most welcoming family. The food is all homemade and tastes amazing (have sampled most of the menu). Sean, Martine, Mercedes and Gabriel are all so accommodating and friendly. Their roast dinner is worth a visit alone, it tastes so good. The karaoke nights are a huge success and the quiz recently was lots of fun. Will continue to keep coming back as I enjoy every visit.

Lovely Family Run Pub In The Heart Of Tewin Village. Food, Atmosphere and Staff Are All 5* Martine, Sean, Mercedes and Gabriel Are All Very Accommodating And Friendly. Really Welcoming And Just A Nice Family. Beautiful, Tasty Homemade Food And The Sunday Roast Is One Of The Best. Recent Events Like Karaoke/Quiz Have Been Lots Of Fun And The Atmosphere Has Been Beyond Fun. I Will Continue To Come Here, As Every Visit Has Been Brilliant And I Thoroughly Enjoy The Food.

Treated staff horribly. Wouldnt even treat a dog like that. In disbelief how you still get custom ..

so imagine that you are a 17 year old taking A Levels and doing a bit of bar work to earn a bit of extra money. and then by a stroke of bad luck, you get to work for a nasty piece of work that is the landlady of the Rose and Crown, Tewin. Having to take verbal abuse in front of other staff and customers. shame on you and i hope you get your comeuppance

Landlady from hell! Shame on you for treating a young member of staff so abismally. You don’t deserve the good staff that you have the way you behave. You clearly need lessons in staff and customer relations. Then not to pay them all the tips they’ve earned. Dishonest ….. I would avoid this pub at all costs in case you end up a victim of this sharp tongued, rude woman. Let Karma do its thing and you’ll be sure to get what you deserve ……

Great venue for a beer post pubrun

Tasty food and excellent service, thank you!

Excellent service and delicious BLT. Very clean and cozy pub, definitely worth another visit.

Michael Lock’s review has it right. Ignore 4.4 star reviews as you will be very disappointed if you go there. Went out of my way on the basis of previous 4.4 star reviews to find what precisely is not a rustic English village tavern and it’s not cosy. Nothing but burgers on the afternoon I went is hardly classic pub food and not to the usual Greene King standard. What’s more the owner is rude and aggressive. It is not a 4.4 rating. It’s probably near a below average 2.0 star at best, but with this landlady I would give it less than 1 star, but I can’t. You go to pub for hospitality, otherwise you’d stay at home with nicer surroundings, and with better food and drink. Take Michael’s advice. Avoid at all costs.

Very comfortable pub good food beer and warm.

Lovely friendly village pub, had an amazing chicken and mushroom pie for lunch. Dog friendly.

First time in here 7th November 2022 The best burger ever Well done guys

Top pub. Excellent beer and great food, particularly the handmade pies! Really friendly team run by the ever-attentive Landlord, Sean.

What a delicious Sundays roast definitely recommend one of the best I have ever eaten beautiful beef and don’t forget to order the cauliflower cheese absolutely splendid, what a lovely family run pub owners and staff couldn’t be more nice and polite.

Very welcoming to all people I like and very tidy

Very good pub food, nice selection of beers which are well kept by the Landlord. Friendly people.

Very unfriendly and rude staff, waited 45 minutes for our order even though the pub was empty Certainly won't be going back 😡

Nice to enjoy the real British pub-life. A nice lady helped us.

Great pint in very nice surroundings, with friendly people behind the bar. I'll be back soon to try out the food as I've been told it's very good

I've eaten in this pub many times! Had some great meals. Today was a disaster. 1hr 20min wait for main course. Pub wasn't busy, 1 other table eating. Burger was not upto standard as it was under cooked. Chicken burger was very soggy..I was told there's a staff shortage.£110 bill and then come home and order a takeaway changes definitely needed. But a great pub and food normally.

Lovely local pub with friendly staff and patrons.

Friendly clean pub. Nice falafel burger.

Nice country pub in the middle of the village. Locals recommend the pies - so that's what I had!

One of two pubs in the hamlet of Tewin. Mentioned often in John Carrington's Memorandoms as the pub his son ran in 18/19th century. It first time to have visited in a while and seemed to have changed hands & had a refurb inside since before. Sat outside in a small, peaceful enclosed garden area furnished with about 6 or 7 umberella'd bench tables. Cliental seemed to be locals or walkers. The Rose & Crown also has a large car park. We ordered from the bar from a handwritten menu but there was a specials board too. Felt food took a little while to arrive but when did it was worth it. Portions were not overpowering but enough. Reasonable price too. Not over fancy. My partner had turkey & ham pie & chips & from appearances looked homemade & stuffed with large chunks of meat. Myself a chicken burger in a brioche bun & chips. This was a grilled chicken breast. Service was cordially friendly. Following his recommendation my partner was tempted by a spotty dick & custard pudding which was quickly devoured without complaint. Would we return? Yes. For a pleasant drink & bit to eat.

Delightful experience, friendly staff, good food. A shout-out to misses, Catherine who works behind the bar, you're wonderful, great customer service and beautiful to match.

Avoid this pub. While the food can be very good, The family that run it are aggressive, abusive and dont deserve your custom. My wife and two young children visited here for the second time with our friends who recommended the pub to us with their two children. Upon entry, the lady owner was rude but we looked past that. The service in the pub is slow but the non-family staff are pleasent. We ordered drinks and our food, requesting small changes for the Kids and additional yorkshire puddings. nothing out of the ordinary When it came to pay, we thought we'd ask to speak to the owner to give some feedback about the overal service, largely as we liked the pub but service was missing the mark and thought they might be interested in improving, however as the 'Dad' came over it was immediatley clear he wasnt interested and took immedate offense. He then started hurling abuse at us in front of our children (1yr, 3yr and two 6 year olds) We did shout back in defense but then things went surreel with the whole family hurling abuse and trying to get physical. baring in mind the kids were with us, and crying they didnt seem to care and we feared for their safety. So much so we had to call the police to attend to calm it down. Its a real shame and wouldn't want anyone else to go through that experience and have to deal with the vile family.

Dropped in at The Rose and Crown after being told we'd have to wait 45 mins for food at the other pub in Tewin (on a Monday ). Lovely people decent food and quick service. Definitely will pay another visit Thank you

Only popped in for one drink on a walking pub crawl with 10 others but found staff friendly and beer was fine.

Had the pie of the day. Top notch food.

Ended up in this pub when a nearby pub wouldn't serve us as they only dealt with bookings, it was totally empty. Their loss our gain. Great staff and the chicken pie was fantastic. Returned the following week for that pie and again they delivered. The spicy wings were also good. That pie is worth a journey. Superb setting, food and staff.

Excellent home made pies and friendly service

Friendly staff and food was very nice but wait a long time for it .

Large inside and outside space toilets immaculate. Food was also excellent although not a lot of choice on menu. Friendly service

Excellent village pub, very welcoming, suoerb food and drink selection.

AWFUL PUB. There are many decent pubs in the area, so avoid at all costs.. We have never been treated so badly in any place, in any country. We are new in the area, and thought to give this place a try, with dinner and drinks. We were the only people in the pub to order food. After 30 minutes, I asked the barman if their was a problem with the kitchen. She replied ''no problem'' It took another 30 minutes for food to arrive! You dont expect too much from pub food, BUT didn't expect what was basically a McDonalds hamburger, cold calamari and under cooked wings! After we complained, the owner came rushing out and started hurling abuse! Told us to get out and never come back. PLEASE take my word for this AND AVOID AT ANY COST.

Lovely pub, really friendly staff, dog friendly (treats for dogs) and great food.

Great lunch after walking, cracking pint too in a lovely pub

had an excellent ham and chips. friendly tradition pub. recommended

Two cappuccinos after a walk. A good ending.

Nice people at this pub. Good beer. Good location. Food served with due care and attention - also recommend the ham and eggs! Always pop in here when I'm in the area.

Really lovely food at this pub! Not boil in the bag, reheated pub grub, but properly cooked and well presented. Really friendly staff too.

Their chips are served on a plate, where chips belong. No tiny basket nonsense.

Disinterested young black waitress, expensive, not really a Greene king pub (franchise no app ordering). Nice physical location.

This is our local village pub and it's fantastic since Shaun and his family took over. Great selection of beers and spirits and they do fantastic gins and a selection of nice tonic with fruit. Lovely 🙂. The food is good traditional pub grub cooked well with a good selection of specials each day. Your sure of a friendly welcome if you come.

Ham, egg and chips were amazing. Best ham i've ever tasted..

Can't really comment as we stood by the bar for a while, no one served us so we left.

I enjoyed an excellent lunchtime plate of fish and chips at this quiet pub in Tewin.

Great family pub, with amazing home cooked food, better than alot of the restaurants in the area. They always go the extra mile and great with children

Nice and cold drink,nice and free food,clean and quiet place,and GOOD STAFF

Lovely pub but the lady working made me wait outside in the rain for my Uber, and I was not allowed to wait in the entrance. She said the pub was closed and told me to leave but it was only 9:30 and the pub was full of customers. Won’t be going again.

Lovely traditional pub. Only stopped for a drink, but definitely revisit for food.
