Rose and Crown in Bolsover

We went there on the Grand National day we had a meal and drinks. The food was great The atmosphere was great and the staff was so attentive. We then kept on going back and we got the same hundred percent would recommend this to anybody who would like nice food, nice atmosphere and nice staff to be served, keep doing this rose and crown team 👍

Fantastic dinner menu, you must have a beef steak or the buttered fish and chips!

We were glad to be seated here at 2pm on a busy Easter Friday. This was our first visit and we were pleased to find such a lovely little pub with a great atmosphere in idyllic surroundings. We ordered from the Lunchtime menu. I had fish and chips and asked for my peas to be swapped out for a salad. I wasn't charged any extra for this which was lovely as some places have charges me the price of a salad to do this. My wife had steak with chips, Which she thoroughly enjoyed. The drinks we ordered were lovely, A Madri and a Southern comfort. We ordered onion rings as a side, about 5 mins after we started to eat the kitchen remembered and apologised and took them off our bill then a few mins later a lovely big bowl of them arrived for free. The service was impeccable friendly and warm and the pub was very clean with beautiful decorations inside. I particularly loved the adjoining stone wall with the arch separating the dining rooms We are really looking forward to returning on a Wednesday and trying the evenings menu and the quiz night

Had an amazing meal for Mothers Day the food was lovely

First time visiting today for Sunday lunch & I will definitely return, the food was lovely, the service was excellent, our table was served by Jordan & Mel and we couldn’t have wished for better. Thanks guys, hope to see you again soon!

Arrived at 12.15 showed to our table and ordered drinks , then ordered 2 starters 2 mains and a kids meal waited 45 minutes for starters to come out which were prawn cocktail and garlic mushrooms which were lovely kids meal was burger and fries n beans , our mains were chicken dinner with lumpy mash and pie and chips and mushy peas with gravy , which came with veg so had to send back , then came back with pie n chips n gravey had to ask again for mushy peas n few chips were raw , could understand if it was busy but was only us n few other tables eating . . .staff were very pleasent but don't think we would return as not very good how long we were left waiting for food to come out

Jordan was v friendly and helpful. Great food, cheap and cheerful

Great service for the bottomless brunch. Service by Jordan and Chris was fantastic! Definitely recommend

Great food and great service thanks Jordan & Chris

Great local pub & fantastic home cooked food.. yes Chip pan chips & everything! Value for money, top quality food & drink, Jordan was really clear with us about it being busy (2 parties) so there would be a delay on food, and on top of that him & Mandy (Mandy's first day in the restaurant) really looked after us. Would recommend & will return

Not the best.dont think it's worth the money.but beer was very good.

Absolutely outstanding local pub! Fantastic food, good vibes, a gem in this area. They serve medium rare beef for Sunday roast!

Amazing burgers defo worth visiting Faye the chef amazing

Our visit to was an absolute shambles from start to finish. They’d run out of many items on the menu in spite of it being 7pm on a Saturday evening , the food took an hour and a forty minutes to arrive (despite us being the only table ordering), and when it finally did, the starters came out with the mains and nothing at all was said. Crazy. The only positive thing was the genuinely delightful and polite waitress. It was clear to see that she was embarrassed by what she was having to cover. The food was poor. The chips, halloumi and scampi were very greasy indeed and the lasagne had zero flavour. It was a complete letdown. It is rare that we would complain at all as a family but we did have to say something about the ridiculous wait time, and all they offered to take the starters off the bill, which wasn’t nearly enough. My 74-year-old father-in-law raised it with the manager, hoping for a proper conversation. Instead, the manager came over in a cap, clearly angry, and said, “I hear you have a problem.” When my father-in-law asked him to come over properly to speak to him, the manager refused and said, “No, you come over here,” in a way that was genuinely threatening. It honestly felt like he was about to start a fight - with a 74-year-old man. I would be interested to know if this guy really is the manager as the young waitress did say that they were on holiday. It was very clearly a hostile interaction with this guy. He is a first class chav! At that point, he told us to pay for our drinks and get out. We genuinely hadn’t been looking for a free meal, but when the food was that bad and the service was even worse, we weren’t exactly going to argue. We were expecting for there to be a gesture of good will made beyond that of the starters which we didn’t really eat or enjoy with them coming at the same time as the mains in particular. It was hands down the worst service I’ve ever experienced. I had my 10 year old, 14 year old, and 17-year old kids with me, along with my wife and her parents, and we were all completely shocked at how we were treated. Does this guy really think his behaviour was good in front of a family as we were. This was a birthday meal for three of us and I can’t get over how shocking it was. I wouldn’t go back if you paid me. Avoid this place; there are plenty of better pubs around that actually care about their customers. My recommendation would be to avoid!!!!!!

Absolutely shocking. Only person on the floor was elderly and seemed to be struggling as a loud mouth cook came out to try help her. We were sat under a specials board so the very few that were in were hovering above our table to look at this. Someone on the next table ordered fish finger sandwich and wasn’t happy that they were frozen fish fingers. We ordered pie and it was shocking. Obviously bought in which reminded me of fray bentos when I was younger. Gravy was like water. On leaving most of our food we were not asked how it was and also heard a table say that they had called in for lunch not dinner referring to there long wait. Avoid this place it’s not how it used to be.

Had a great Sunday dinner today, special thanks to Jordan who gave us a great service

This place is starting to becoming our favourite pub to go to for some quality food and welcoming atmosphere. Portions sizes are ridiculous and I don’t mean that negatively, you get your moneys worth and more, the rose and crown have really honed in on what people want from “pub grub” plenty of variety to suit all tastebuds and all brought out in a timely manner with perfection. The staff here are very attentive to your needs even when they had a party of 18/20 people in, amongst numerous other tables full, not a beat missed when they provided high quality service and food. Thank you staff of the rose and crown.

Friday 21st February 2025.... We pre-booked a table for 8 people at the Rose and Crown, Barlborough, to celebrate our elderly mum's birthday, but unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. Despite arriving on time, we had to wait over an hour and 20 minutes before our food arrived, and that was only after we asked twice for someone to take our order. There was another large group dining at the same time who seemed to take priority, which left us feeling somewhat neglected. When the food did finally arrive, it was just okay – nothing particularly special, especially after such a long wait. To top it off, when it came to ordering desserts, many of the options were unavailable, which further added to the letdown. Overall, it was a pretty underwhelming experience, and we were hoping for better service for a special occasion. Worst service I`ve experinced in a restaurant.

A delicious huge portion Sunday lunch with very friendly service. Will recommend again and again.

I've waited a while to write this review , as to be honest , when we visited I was absolutely aghast . But I will Start with my previous review from last summertime which was amazing, the food was just exceptional, I think it was John's wife ( from the Blue Bell Harthill ) that was cooking on that day . Fast forward to November, a really cold night , but we were greeted with a lovely warm reception and shown into the dining area, which was so nice and warm, and ordered our drinks .... That's when it all got a bit bizarre ..A lady came out of the kitchen and brought menus , and proceeded to tell us that they didn't have most things on the menu...but bizarrely she was plugging the pies , I ended up ordering lasagne, and my Partner had a pie . Both were very average and nothing like our previous visit ... but that wasn't really the issue , it was the Lady who served us that kept repeatedly telling us she has ADHD ,and her mannerism , albeit very friendly , was way too over the top and inappropriate. I need to point out that we are very friendly people , we arent stuck up or uppity in any way , but this behaviour was very strange and uncomfortable. Also , to be coming out of the kitchen shouting / singing Christmas songs isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. Please improve this pub 🙏, it's a gem , and was closed for way too long , it's got so much going for it , and I really hope that necessary improvements are made . It's not far for us to visit , I hope the feedback provided helps , the menu needs looking at , and Staff behaviour and possibly being able to " read the room " would be an advantage.

We recently booked a family gathering to celebrate my mum’s 85th birthday, and unfortunately, the service was absolutely appalling. Despite having a reservation, we were made to wait because another, larger party was given priority. The service was extremely slow, and the overall experience was disappointing. I have never encountered such poor treatment and would not recommend this place one bit

Service was an absolute shambles. We had pre booked our table weeks in advance, only to be told service and food would take significantly longer, due to another large party, in which they called them ‘a priority’. We came here to celebrate my grandmas birthday and the service completely ruined the atmosphere. We waited 40 mins to actually order the food, with the food arriving an hour later. The food was alright, no complaints there, just a shame it took so long as clearly the other customers weren’t a priority for them. Not a pleasant experience at all.

My husband and I went for the Steak Night. We were not disappointed.The steaks were cooked to perfection.Congratulations to the chef, It's very rare I get my steak cooked to my liking.The food was a bit expensive but for the amount we got including a bottle of wine it was worth every penny. My husband has dementia and we are trying to make a lot of memories. Thanks to all the staff this was a very good one. we will be going again. Thank you once again. Ann & Barry Roys

Had a fantastic meal tonight with my friend , the food was realllyyy good , we had steak with all the trimmings . The cheesecake was divine and homemade. We were left to natter, and felt comfortable. Shout out to Jordan, great service, very attentive , we will definitely visit again. .

Had a family meal for 11 people Friday night. Excellent service and food. Steak was cooked to perfection, and all meals enjoyed by all. Would highly recommend the Surf and Turf. Thanks Rose and Crown, this was to celebrate my nans birthday who has recently passed away and all the family enjoyed the meal and atmosphere.

Service was very slow, other parties had come in a long time after us and had 3 courses and gone, while we had to ask about our deserts even though we had ordered them when we ordered our starters and mains.

We had 1 roast beef and I roast pork Sunday dinner, this was very nice cooked lovely, presentation and service good food came out really quick, staff friendly plus good quality food 😊

Came for lunch today with my mum and sister. The food, service and prices were amazing!! Our favourites were the chunky chips & onion rings! And also the cheese cake for pudding was 10/10😍 Shout out to Jordan for his brilliant service, he was very informative and so polite. We will look forward to trying the bottomless brunch next time we visit (we were so glad Jordan mentioned it as we didn’t realise that it took place!) Definitely recommend :) thanks again!

We've eaten here before and the food was lovely, today however everything was dire, half of our meals came out, - no vegetables, the meat & roasties were cold due to the wait, when the greens did arrive they'd been boiled for so long they had no taste or texture, the fish was well... Like a fish finger! Child's meal was larger! When asked if everything was ok and we replied not really no we received no response and were then completely ignored. I must also add as there were 12 of us that we tried to pre-book the meals but they declined! Would I recommend or eat here again... Absolutely not!

A classic case of if I could give 0 stars I would. I will start by saying we were a table of 12 that booked in advance but were not asked for a pre order. I have eaten here before and had a lovely meal with great service but unfortunately this was not the case today. From sitting down at 2, we had still not been asked for a drinks order or diverted to order at the bar by 20 past. At which point we only got served as one of us went up to the bar to ask for service. Now, the food 🤦🏽‍♀️... First the 6 "Sunday roasts" were brought out which together probably just made 3 full adult meals with the wafer thin beef and crumbs of belly pork. No veg and no gravy. We were advised these came separate (not an issue, you would think) but this took over 20 minutes to materialise. In the meantime the other meals were intermittently brought out. Which leads me to the fish and chips or there lack of! The children's chicken nuggets and chips was bigger and hotter! When the veg eventually arrived I can only assume it had been sat in the boiling water the entire time we were waiting for drinks and eventually ordering our meals. When the staff came to take our plates away we were asked if everything was ok to which we clearly replied no it was not. We were met with a stoney silence and a disappearing act by the staff who removed only 2 plates. The entire experience from start to finish was a huge disappointment and put a damper on our celebration. We were ignored, forgotten and dismissed! Safe to say we will be avoiding for the foreseeable.

Rubbish service & Food. Waited 45 minutes for the mediocre meals. Where to start? Pies off shelf, top crusts burnt, base crusts inedible. Microwaved Hunters Chicken, dish swimming in water / juices?Sat a further 30 mins waiting for plates to be cleared. After waitress walked past several times without batting an eye we gave up on desserts and left. Won't be returning.

Nice place . Had Christmas fare here . Very reasonable priced. Lovely food. Drinks good price too. Had a singer on was good

We had a Golden wedding meal for 16 people here, the service from Sarah was first class, the food was lovely everyone enjoyed the meal. Lynn is so welcoming, will definitely go again

Jordan served us today. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Prices were reasonable and we both had desserts. I will visit again but maybe for the bottomless brunch on a Saturday! Thank you Rose & Crown, we had a lovely lunch today in this great, clean, country style pub xXx

I wish this pub was my local, I would feel comfortable on my own having lunch or drinks, probably bring a book or newspaper. This time myself and à friend enjoyed a pie chips wiith mushy peas and gravy.good value as the pie tasted homemade ànd it was full not like some pies where you cut into a voiid with minimal content. The pub is friendly, good food,and you feel at home. its not trying to be anything else..

Extremely poor experience. Booked a table for 6 people. Arrived to be told did we mind sitting on two tables of 3. Ordered food to be told they didn’t have any pies or hamburgers in - why didn’t waitresses tell us that when menus were handed out? My wife ordered a prawn salad as her main which was basically a side dish which consisted of a small bowl of green leaves, radishes and prawns. Complained that this wasn’t a main (it was under the mains on the menu and not under light bites) so they took £3 off the price and offered some fries which were declined. Very disappointing. Won’t be eating at The Rose & Crown again.

We just called on the off chance we could get a Sunday roast, we were made very welcome by a lady at the bar and then shown to our table by Jordan.He promptly got our drinks and our food order taken.The food arrived really quickly, we both had turkey, it was all beautifully cooked and nicely presented.The portion size was good with a nice bowl of mixed veg, the mash and the gravy so tasty.We were both really impressed and will be returning to try more.A great find.

Booked for breakfast with Santa, very warm and welcoming, Santa and the gifts was good, food was spot on and the staff and landlady are lovely. Definitely worth a visit! ❤️

With friends staying over and the Christmas season in full swing, we decided to embrace the festive spirit early and indulge in the Festive Fayre Menu at The Rose and Crown. Given we won’t see each other over Christmas itself, this was to be our celebratory dinner—and what a perfect choice it turned out to be. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional: warm and attentive service, a beautifully set table, a cheerful atmosphere, and food that truly exceeded expectations. The starters alone were a triumph, showcasing both quality and generosity. The pork belly was tender and flavourful, while the chicken liver pâté was a delight—smooth, rich, and perfectly paired. The garlic mushrooms were equally impressive, delivering that creamy garlicky flavour you’d hope for. For the mains, a standout moment was the festive pie, brimming with hearty filling and served alongside perfectly cooked seasonal vegetables. A choice of sides—from mashed potatoes to roasties or chunky chips—was offered, and the chips proved a hit: golden, crisp, and satisfying. One of our friends declared the pie “gorgeous”. The majority of us opted for the traditional turkey with all the trimmings, and it did not disappoint. The turkey itself was expertly cooked—succulent, moist, and free of even a hint of dryness. Accompanied by perfectly roasted potatoes, creamy mash, crispy Yorkshire puddings, stuffing, pigs in blankets, parsnips, and impeccably prepared vegetables, this dish was a festive delight. By the end, we were all undeniably stuffed. And yet, after a brief respite, two of us managed to rally for dessert—a beautiful cheeseboard that was as visually striking as it was delicious. A thoughtful selection of cheeses, crackers, and accompaniments made for the perfect ending to an already exceptional meal. In every way, The Rose and Crown delivered a memorable Christmas dinner experience, made even more special by their attention to detail and commitment to quality. To the wonderful staff: thank you for helping us create an early festive celebration we won’t soon forget.

Had a delicious Sunday lunch in a quiet relaxed atmosphere. Visited again 14/12/2024 birthday meal for my wife with immediate family. Thank you to all at the Rose and crown for helping celebrate my wife's birthday. The food delicious and the service second to none. We will be back soon. Once again thank you for a truly wonderful experience.

My partner and I visited for lunch today. The food was superb and the service very friendly. Chunky chips are to die for!!

Fabulous Sunday Lunch Fantastic and Friendly Service Good value for money Would definitely recommend

Great food and service tonight 👍

Mwt up with friends last night we'd not seen for a while - it was fab. Ended up in the restaurant and they were so obliging - I wanted a roast dinner that wasn't an option but they sorted it and it was delicious. All enjoyed our food and drinks. Staff were brilliant. Not a criticism but I'd have loved a white zinfandel which they don't do - cocktails were great though. Will definitely be back especially as they are dog friendly - thanks for a great evening x

A very good pub, warm, good selection of beers, friendly staff.

Decided to pop in on a whim , very suprised , very friendly staff , lovely and clean, and very nice food , had a lovely afternoon .

Great atmosphere, great food. Jordan welcomed us and looked after us throughout the evening and his recommendations were spot on..

We were in the locality of Barlborough on a Wednesday night. We had been to a pub 200 metres away who had stopped serving food early as they were empty. We went just down the road, and this place was packed with people eating, drinking etc. it was lively as there was a quiz, bingo later and also play your cards right. Not for everyone, but definitely the best in the area by far. We ordered food and drinks. Sarah, our waitress was very pleasant and helpful, great service. The landlord Mark also came over to make sure we were happy, and that the noise/atmosphere was not a problem for us. We enjoyed our food and the general atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

First time trying the curry from here had the chicken tikka even though I had heard the curry’s are a home made recipe and I’ve got to admit that’s is the best chicken tikka I’ve had in a very long time well done to Faye the chef as this curry has gone down a dream ❤️ and a very good job to Kris being busy this evening busy being fully attentive to our needs from the start to finish

We ordered a buffet for a large funeral and wow the food was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations, the quality and presentation of the food was excellent! Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the buffet from the sandwiches and canapés, to the home made cakes and the cheese board which in itself was out of this world! I can't thank the Rose and Crown enough for there help with the buffet as the list of items we wanted was extensive but everything was met and the Service was also 5 star thank you!

Dreadful experience in what can only be described at best as a village pub. The food was shocking and very very limited with several of the items on the menu ' unavailable '.... the special pie - deer & beer - was served to me stone cold so it was returned to the kitchen, microwaved,and given back to me. Microwaving pastry and chips (as EVERYONE knows) made them soggy and inedible.The best thing about the meal is the mushy peas, they were at least green ( cold until microwaved also).Several others said there food was awful and the service inadequate with just one girl running around. We were a party of 12 , some travelling from Scotland and some from the east coast first a long awaited family reunion and all I can say is that the Rose & Crown should not be classified as having a restaurant as they were more concerned about the pub quiz and their food foul !!!Despite what the response was, as stated, one staff member took our drinks order, then once all seated, she proceeded to go through the list of items that were unavailable . After being given food, some had almost finished when others were getting theres, the next time anyone checked on us was when I complained about mine. I asked to see the manager and she apologised quickly. Next contact was with the waitress who said my inedible slop had been refunded and then she tried to sort payment, some being charged twice and getting a refund 5 days later !! Inefficiency at it finest !

Sunday dinner was amazing. Great portion size and quality ingredients. Beef was lovely. Puddings were excellent too. Cheesecake was to die for. Definitely reccomend.

Absolutely amazing experience, Kris & Lynn was very welcoming. The food was incredible, nice to see the place with deliciously fresh food.

Food was excellent with a great atmosphere

Lovely food, chicken wings and steak were cooked to perfection

Food, service and beers were all spot on. Definitely recommend. Would visit again thanks.

Called on Sunday for lunch Wouldn't recommend Mash potato were cold and hard Vegetables were hard Blood from the beef

Been for bottomless brunch, absolutely fantastic, Lynn and all of her staff were fantastic. Would definitely recommend

Fabulous food n welcome Popped into Barlborough on the way back from Cresswell lunchtime, was going to the Stonehouse as we visited there a couple of times while house hunting but glad we didn't. Rose & Crown was a great find, great enthusiastic welcome on entering and great service all round from them on with drinks and food orders. And what food... Absolutely faultless (except ate to much), big portions and super tasty. I swear the chicken sandwich had whole chicken breasts in.... The chips n onion ring sides also first class. Thanks for a great lunch.

Great service, all the staff are very helpful, food was beautiful, and the new cocktails are a must. Sarah was our waitress she made us feel so welcome. We will be back

Dinner for three, two fish and chips, one fish finger sandwich. The food was cooked fresh, the portions were very generous, and it all tasted really good. Staff were very pleasant and service was good. We sat outside in the beer garden, all really pleasant. Plenty of parking and the pub inside was clean tidy and well presented

Wow! My husband and I decided to give this a try and it was amazing. The staff were really accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Drinks were refreshed constantly. The choice of food was excellent. It was very tasty, beautifully presented and very generous portion size. It was fabulous value for money and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again!

Went 31/08/24 for an anniversary meal started off ok, ordered food 20/25 minutes later got my starter garlic mushrooms in cream sauce, sauce was a little bit thin but tasty, main course wife had scampi which was over cooked I had sirloin steak chunky chips my steak was cooked lovely but not what l asked for which was plain, chef added peppercorns on top, mentioned to the waitress (who was lovely ) but nobody came to query it. Won’t be going back in a hurry

Waited nearly an hour for food to come,then mine wasn't what I ordered it seems bookings are favoured over walk ins! Won't be going there again.

We were due to stay at a nearby Hotel so decided to have Sunday Lunch here on the way. The pub was very busy and clearly popular with locals but we were given a table in the quieter dining area. The Landlord was front of house looking after diners and made a real effort to make sure everything was ok during our visit and regularly checked in with us. We both had the Prawn Cocktail for our starter and the delicious home made steak pie for our main. For dessert we the chocolate brownies and the lemon merangue pie. The portions on every dish were plentiful and tasted great and compliments to the chef for what theyre producing in the kitchen. Finally the price, a 3 course meal for around £20 is fantastic value and given the high level of service and food this really is a great pub we hope to one day return to.

Crap waited over an hour for food to come then when food arrived one of us was given the wrong dish and the fish pie sauce looked like it was curdling and later on I vomited it all up as I ate it too late and my stomach had gone past being hungry so made me feel sick and the other 2 people I was with felt sick too

Had Tea here Monday 12th Aug with 2 Friends. Warm welcome, meals outstanding and good value for money. Staff warm and friendly. We be going back Highly recommend to Fish Pie

Lovely food, great service, definitely be back for our monthly catch ups. Would recommend the fish pie, prawn cocktail salad and Yorkshire tapas

Enjoyed our Sunday lunch today, especially the roast beef which was fantastic and excellent value for money. Looking forward to our next visit.

At last this place finally has that lovely feeling of a proper village pub, all thanks to the new landlady Lynne and her team who have clearly worked hard to put this pub back on the right track. I go in with my son most Sunday afternoons and i have to say it’s a joy sitting in the lovely beer garden which has been vastly improved more so than previous owners in years gone by. I haven’t tried the food yet but from what I’ve seen it looks really good and i like the idea of introducing a tapas menu at very reasonable prices. The atmosphere inside the bar and in the beer garden is great and everyone seems to be enjoying the pub.Well done Lynne and team, wishing you all the success you clearly deserve , may it long continue.

Popped in for something to eat and drink as we were passing lovely staff and the food and drink was really nice very reasonably priced too pity we're from northampton else we'd be visiting regularly

Lovley pub in a nice setting lots of seating and parking will go there again been here again updated reviews on food Mt burger was cooked to perfection spot on as a chef myself am not easily pleased

Corporate Buffet Lunch Review. For our recent corporate board meeting, we opted for a buffet lunch, and the entire team was unanimously impressed by the presentation, quality, and taste. Every part was freshly homemade, showcasing an admirable attention to detail and culinary finesse. The Mediterranean pasta salad was a delightful blend of flavors and textures, setting a high standard right from the start. The sandwich fillings were equally impressive, with the coronation chicken wraps standing out as a particular highlight—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The pork apple and sage sausage rolls were a hit, offering a savoury burst of taste. Even the tortillas and dips, often overlooked components, were prepared with care and precision, enhancing the overall experience. What truly sets this service apart is its ability to cater to all tastes and dietary needs, ensuring everyone finds something to enjoy. In summary, I would highly recommend this buffet for any corporate or private event. The Rose and Crown has truly excelled in providing a seamless and satisfying experience.

Brilliant afternoon snack at the pub, Sophia, couldn't do enough for us and the meal was lovely, had snacks between 4 of us and very tasty, thankyou 😁.

Great little dog friendly pub on the way south to north, try the pie and chips...

What a fabulous Sunday lunch absolutely worth the travel from Rotherham, had the mixed meat and all three of the meats were cooked to perfection , mashed potatoes were very creaming , Roasts were amazing and the veg was very fresh , would highly recommend.

Just had an excellent meal. Wife had gammon and I had a rump steak cooked to perfection. Ryan our waiter was most attentive and courteous. Josh the chef really knows his profession. Well done

Great food & service by Alfie!! A definite improvement on the food at Service stations off the motorway. I would definitely stop off at the Rose & Crown again! Thanks

We really enjoyed our Mea l Lynn and the young waiter made us welcome Tracey and Paul

This is one of our local pubs and been here often for a drink with friends and the occasional meal.This was the first time we have been for a meal since the reopening and was really disappointed. I ordered the steak pie but had to send it back because the crust was rock hard I couldn't break it never mind cut it.My meal was took away and then brought back and told another pie would be about 10 minutes. By this time my chips were just warm and the very small amount of veg was cold.When the other pie did come the crust was better but still hard and stuck to the rim of the pot.When we brought it to the managers attention we were offered a free dessert or drink which we declined. Even if everything had been OK at nearly £15 it wasn't value for money compared to other pubs in the area.We will still go there for a drink but not eat.

We had a really delicious meal and the menu was well balanced! Our server was also really lovely and attentive. Cannot recommend enough.

Really wanted this to be good, but alas. Three of us went for a treat meal. We had already seen the menu, so choices were made. Fillet steak and two fish pies. We arrived and got the table we wanted, good start. Then we were told, no steak, no fish, no fish pie. So, after some studying, we decided on, starters two tomato soup and one chicken strips. Sorry no chicken strips. So no starters for me then. Which left me as the odd one out. Mains we had two beef lasagne and one gammon steak. The gammon steak should have come with chunky chips, tomato, mushroom, onion rings and house salad. But no onion rings or house salad. Instead, there were baked beans. Nothing against baked beans, but I do not want them for a Saturday night meal out thank you. The staff tried their best but clearly not enough of them. You could tell that by the numerous ‘sorry for the wait’ comments. Nice place for a drink and handy for us. But they have to decide if they want to serve food or just play at it. It is no good having a menu if half of it is not available. We shall not be eating there again. If you have not made plans on what you want to eat and feel like taking a chance on what is available give them a go.

Awful service from moment we walked in, couldn’t get in the door for a couple smoking, staff running around but no one took notice of us. Eventually welcomed (well sort of by a young lad). Menuda offered - then 1/2 menu unavailable. Restaurant not busy, only one couple ordered before us and then took 50min with no apology. We’re local and highly disappointed, won’t be back for food. And not again for drinks if smokers hanging around at the door.

Bar service rather unwelcoming and unsure of what they were doing, this on a slow Friday afternoon with only 3 other customers. Lovely village pub otherwise.

Very friendly staff, particularly the server. Food was excellent, especially the chips.

This place has a great selection of beers and a lpvy village pub atmosphere. I'm glad it's finally reopened. The food, a burger, was OK. It wasn't bad but just felt a bit cheap. The bread bun especially was possibly on the turn and couldve done with being toasted on the inside. Service is always lovely, polite and helpful. Wait time for food on this occasion was fine as we were the only ones eating. Would always go back for a pint, but this isn't the pub I go to for food.

Finally decided to revisit after a previous bad experience under the old manager (directly related to staff incompetency issues) We arrived on a Friday evening, waited at the bar and a lady finally showed us to a table in the restaurant, gave us menus and said she would "back in a sec" to take our drinks order... 20-25 minutes later no one had appeared, said lady had appeared to have gone and her place had been taken by a young lad who appeared blissfully unaware of our (and another couples) existence. No other staff apparent. As we had not even had a drinks order taken yet (a third couple had decided to order their own from ther bar) the frustration was extremely high, and we chose to leave (followed by another couple who had been waiting even longer for their drinks) I complained to the young lad on the way out, he apologised and that was that. We headed off to the Half Moon, served straightaway and food in about 20 minutes. Rose and Crown, we gave you another chance after your abysmal performance under the previous manager and you failed again. We won't be back.

Absolutely disgusting went for lunch to the Rosea CrownBarlborough today .asked if they was doing food to a young lad behind bar bless he said he didn't know chef hadn't arrived yet .Asked the the person in charge the lady said she had ring the chef but he didn't answer Had a drink chef still not arrived the lady said she had rung management a they said tell people kitchen closed ..

14 of us booked a Sunday lunch, they handled the party well, the food was very good with plenty of veg, Staff were great especially as some of our party were not very mobile

The food was delicious,the staff were lovely,especially Ebony who worked very hard and nothing was too much trouble.Plenty of parking.Would recommend and will definitely go again.

One of the best Sunday dinners we’ve ever had! Every single thing was just so tasty! Staff are very friendly and welcoming Would highly recommend 👌🏼🌟

50 minutes wait for food & only the 2 people in the place at the time of ordering.

Under new management! Food was lovely. Service was great! Will definitely be back and recommending.

Went for mother's day since the rose and crown has re-opened under new management. The food was great and portion size was spot on. All the staff was so attentive and friendly. Will definitely be recommending and returning.

We enjoyed a delightful Mother’s Day dinner, promptly seated at our table with a complimentary glass of Prosecco—a thoughtful touch. The meal was served swiftly, and the food was absolutely fantastic. As a lover of beef, I was so so pleased that it was served to order, perfectly pink as I prefer. The option of medium cooked also catered to everyone's tastes on our table. For dessert, we indulged in delicious lemon meringue and Oreo cheesecake. Beautiful! The staff, both at the bar and in the restaurant, were incredibly accommodating and friendly. Their attentiveness added to the overall experience. And of course a massive thank you to the behind the scenes staff, head chef Aron and his team did a brilliant job. Thank you for making Mother’s Day that much more special.

Excellent service, lovely food.

Just stopped for a Sunday lunch and it was lovely. Food came out hot and was very tasty plus, the bar staff are very nice and accommodating even making sure we had a table that was dog friendly. Would recommend 👍

We had a lovely meal celebrating our grandsons birthday, first time we've been here and we will certainly dine again here, staff were very friendly and the place was clean 😀

Arrived for our 7.30 booking on time. We were seated opposite the kitchen door where we could hear derogatory comments being made by the staff about diners throughout our visit. We ordered drinks the waitress hadn't a clue what beers/ciders were available and had to go check a couple of times while taking our orders. We waited 20 minutes, no drinks came. Another waitress asked us if we wanted more drinks, I told her we were still waiting on the ones we'd ordered 20 mins earlier. When ordering our food 2 of the starters we wanted were unavailable and there were no steaks of any kind either. After an hour and 10 minutes I asked the waitress to check on our mains, we over heard her asking someone in the kitchen and he replied, and I quote, "Why, are they complaining?" The waitress came out to us and said they were being plated up, we were then waiting another 10 minutes before they were served. Four of us had steak and ale pie. My plate consisted of exactly 8 skinny, under cooked chips, a tablespoon of mushy peas and the pie, which was served in a dish, mainly consisted of watery gravy and, although the filling was edible, there was only enough meat to cover the bottom of the dish. One of our party had fish and chips, the portion would have left a small child hungry. If I had had my way I would have complained there and then but other members of the party just wanted to get out of there and never return again. Needless to say we will not be returning
