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.

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 👍

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

What a lovely atmosphere! Came here with my mum for Sunday lunch and we were both very pleased! I was able to have a smaller Sunday lunch plate (children’s) too! We both had the gammon and beef of which was delightful and the parsnips were cooked to perfection! Vegetables came separately which suited me, so I didn’t feel overfaced with food on my plate (plus I was able to have what I liked on my plate rather than eat around veg I didn’t like) Thank you!

Rose and crown looks nice from the outside but the food and staff were terrible. If you like cold burn food and staff that couldn’t care, this is the place for you. No refund or any apologies , even one of the staff followed us to the car to ask if we liked the food? And said that how they like it cooked. My advice do not eat here unless you know there’s new chef and staff. If I could have scored less than 1 I would definitely have.

Obviously the Chef has left. Waited half an hour for food despite being the only couple in the restaurant. Food was over cooked and hard. Sent it back. basically got fed up of waiting. 2 Beers and 1 Wine was £19.95. Definitely do not go to this restaurant.

This has been the hub point of socialising for many many years it is absolutely agonising to see what Fine & Country Inns (FCIG) are doing to the heart of our community. After the abrupt change in management all the locals and regulars were ecstatic to see Fallon appointed as the general manger. This has been long overdue and something she has the enthusiasm and fire to do, a young fresh set of eyes and ideas. After what looked like a positive and exciting start i.e. new dishes on the specials bored, theme/entertainment nights and an outdoor area make over things soon started to seem amiss. I feel the need to write this review as seeing all the bad reviews against the staff that are there day in and day out is heart breaking not to mention seeing them actually cry on numerous occasions when disgruntled customers are shouting at them and refusing to pay, not realising their hands are tied by owning body FCIG. There has been no chef in the kitchen for a number of months, FCIG have happily let 16-18 year olds run the kitchen, hence the long wait times and standards lower than what customers rightly expect. These poor kids have been thrown under the bus with no training and are doing there absolute best under the most stressful circumstances and for no thanks or extra pay..... but they did get an appreciation certificate :/ The kitchen has even been shut for a number of weeks due to this matter sending profit to other pubs in the village, again upsetting the staff having to turn away not only new customers but also loyal customers. The menu hasn't changed in nearly a year, it's now old and boring. Previous managers and chef's have tried to spice up the menu after listening to the customers complaints and suggestions but FCIG just push back and refuse. This is shocking when you compare it to the other pubs FCIG own, such as the Parish Oven and the Shepard's Rest, their menus are worlds apart from what the Rose and Crown is given and not to mention they have trained chefs and sous chefs. FCIG please listen to your staff and your customers, if things are to carry on as they are you are going to run your staff and your pub into the ground. This would be a sad and great loss to our community, as the Rose and Crown atmosphere is so welcoming and everyone becomes friends with everyone.

Saturday lunchtime and only a limited menu...place not busy. Nacos starter turned out to be a bag of crisps with cheese and salsa....asked shy waiter if this was right who said he would check but never came back with an answer. Gordon chicken starter nice and fish &chips too. Chicken pie dry and chicken pieces like bullets after being nuked in microwave. We ate here because of the 4.3 google review....take my comments as you wish

Awful experience. The locals seem to think they own the place and can make visitors feel unwelcome. After a stressful week I wanted nothing more than a nice relaxing drink to de stress. We were treated appallingly by the people there who told us we couldn't sit outside as it was for them only and that we should leave. Absolutely no signage of a private function and the girl behind the bar had no clue what to say when I went inside and asked her to clarify. We endured lots of rude kids (and their parents) making remarks, sneers, threatening violence to my young kids. I've never had to endure such a situation in my entire life and the manager didn't bat an eyelid when I brought this to her attention and has ignored complaints.

Passing the pub and we fancied lunch. Ordered a cheese and chutney ciabata as they had a restricted menu. There was no chef in the kitchen, so the one person behind the bar was cooking too. It came out looking good chips and salad on the side. The chips were very nice. I got just over halfway through my ciabata and found it was really hard at the end. There was no one else in the pub, so I'm not sure about an atmosphere.

Visited the pub in May had the curry which was good. So decided to visit for Sunday lunch. Waited an hour for the lunch to be served, carrots were raw and hard, Yorkshire pudding was like a dumpling. No apologises for poor service. Definitely won’t be going again. £14.95 wouldn’t give a fiver for it.

Very disappointed! We ordered 1 x starter and 2 x Sunday lunches and 1hr 15mins later still had no food! There were several other diners who had been there before us and had only just been served their meals at this point. I asked how much longer the wait would be and was told that the starter would be a few minutes more and so we paid for the drinks and said that we wouldn't be staying due to how long we'd be waiting. There had been no explanation as to the reason for the delay and whilst we don't expect 'fast food' service, an hour and a quarter and no sign of food really isn't acceptable. Incidentally, the drinks bill for 2 x pints lager and 2 x lime & lemon soft drinks was £18 which we felt was a bit excessive. The staff who attended us were both very young and pleasant, but there didn't seem to be any other staff around and if there were any, they clearly couldn't have been in the kitchen judging by our wait time. It's a shame because we're fairly new to the area and like to support local businesses and potentially we could have become regular customers, but based on today's experience we won't be back I'm afraid.

Visited today for Sunday lunch had the wait over and hour for our food, when I asked where our meal was. I was told it was being just plated up. 15 minutes later still no food.When it finally the quality was very poor the carrots were raw , the Yorkshire pudding tasted more like a pancake. For £15 per meal it was all rather poor really.

Terrible experience altogether. I am not one to complain and I am extremely patient when it comes to customer service as sometimes I appreciate things don’t always go to plan. However, tonight (08/07/23) was quite possibly the worst experience my family and I have experienced. We arrived at our booking, on time which was at 7:30, we received our drinks and was chatting for a good 10 minutes or so whilst waiting for the menu. We ended up having to go and ask for a menu from one of the staff. Another 20 minutes go by as we are waiting to order our food and we get told that some of the menu is unavailable, mainly the steaks, but not to worry this happens every so often, so we placed our order with secondary choices. Skip 40 minutes or so, still no food had arrived, we asked the waitress if we could chase the food to be told it will be another 25 minutes or more. We don’t mind waiting for food but just a little over an hour for food is ridiculous and the pub was reasonably quiet for a Saturday evening. So we waited and waited until one of the managers said we are really sorry for the wait, it is now being plated up, which took another 10-15 minutes. Only for the food to come out in a terrible manner. Food was stale, overcooked and even a hair on the plate, which isn’t what you’d expect from any restaurant/pub. We also asked for condiments only to be given one small pot of ketchup between 6 of us and no way of distributing it out amongst ourselves. We simply asked for a spoon to sort this out. Whilst we was eating the rather unpleasant food, the manager came over to ourselves and asked how the food was, we answered honestly and said that it wasn’t a great experience and the food wasn’t to our expectations (not that it’s Michelin star, we know what food should taste like). She then turned around and called us incredibly rude customers who had upset the waitress. We hadn’t even spoken in any bad way to the waitress as we all understand that people can have a bad day and that she can only do what she can within her power. We retorted back that the experience had been poor and that we shouldn’t be ridiculed for telling them that they are doing a shocking job. The manager was so rude and wouldn’t even accept a Green King NHS Discount either, we gave honest feedback and we all left a birthday meal extremely deflated and disappointed. Please seriously reconsider going to this place as we wish we had gone elsewhere. Ruined a family meal out, celebrating a birthday, only to be told that we are being rude even when we hadn’t said anything is disgusting and it’s extremely atrocious to say this to paying customers. This place was a disaster and we won’t be returning.

Shocking food and service… Staff not very attentive - waiting 20 minutes before needing to ask for menu’s - food took approx 1hr 30mins to arrive (restaurant very quite) - food items missing from plates and food stale and burnt - staff non apologetic / rude and made to feel as a burden. Horrible atmosphere. What was meant to be a nice family meal for Birthday Celebrations ended up being one of the worst meals out. We will not be returning - such a shame.

Anyway got to 14:10pm and was still no food, baby was crying as he was hungry and wouldnt settle. I asked how long the food would take I got an answer of i will go and check. Anyway he came back told us that it was been played up and would be with us in 10-15minutes. Ok so we waited and still no food by this point the time was 14:50pm. We waited a little longer, (wouldn't have minded but the pub wasnt even busy)!! We paid for our drinks which was only 3 glasses of pop and it came up to £12 for the glasses of pop😳 and booked a table somewhere else. Wasnt just us who walked out and cancelled our booking a few coupls did the same who we also bumped into at the same pub we booked at round the corner. Never again

I'm sorry to say that I don't think we will be back. The mains we had were pretty nice when they appeared after a long wait. We didn't get offered dessert and only had 2 rounds of drinks in over 3 hours, so it ended up being a fairly cheap night out.

Visited here on a Saturday. It's was fairly quiet. Whilst waiting to be seated, there was a strong over-powering smell of urine coming from the toilets located next to the entrance. When we were seated we were given a menu, however there was no childrens menu. The waitress was helpful with this and listed several choices for children (difficult to remember the options without a menu). The starters came out in good time, and were nice. I ordered a chicken supreme, partner ordered a steak and ale pie and son a burger. The chicken supreme came out as a very dry chicken breast (no sauce), 1 mushroom sliced and wedges. I then found a long dark hair on my mushroom. Could not even swallow the chicken due to how dry this was also. I pulled the waitress aside and explained that I could not eat this. She apologise and took the plate back to the kitchen. I was not offered an alternative (although at this point I did not want anything else). We could hear arguing in the kitchen after this which made me feel uncomfortable. My partners steak and ale pie was dry pieces of fatty meat with a random puff pastry ball placed on top (no veg). According to the waitress, my order was a chicken suprem not a supreme? I have no idea what the difference is but was told this does not come with a sauce. In my experience a chicken supreme always comes in a sauce? I'm still trying to figure this out! We did not have to pay for my main. However was left feeling sick and £50+ out of pocket. We have visited here on numerous occasions and have always enjoyed our meal. This time round we were so disappointed.

Very quiet on the Wednesday evening we visited. The food was good but not great, the staff were super friendly and helpful but the main courses we ordered took ages to arrive.

Tasty Sunday roast pork dinner and even though we dined only one hour before closing of the kitchen we weren't given dried up food! Pleasant staff who checked that we were happy.

Had Sunday lunch here, bad choice. The manager criticises the staff infront of customers which made a very awkward atmosphere. The meat was okay but the veg was slavered in butter. Wouldn’t return.

£46 for a a child meal and 2 carverys one of the carverys being vegetarian and still charged for a chicken roast!! Absolutely disgusting prices the food is appalling we waited 45 mins for our food to be cooked kept asking waiter woman had glasses and blonde hair meduim size. Working this Sunday 03/07/22 I can’t get over how expensive it was and how shocking the food tasted. The waiter was rude not polite at all and looked like she didn’t even want to be in her job! I think you need to look at prices of the food especially food that tasted awful the only thing that was nice was the mash potatoe other than that really wished we walked out and never bothered. We only tried this restaurant as de rodes had no seating. Will not be returning to this restaurant!! AVOID!
