Called on the off chance and managed to get a table. Welcomed immediately as we walked in. Pub was packed and was told our table was just being cleared. We were also served immediately and as our drinks were ready so was our table . The service he is amazing with very polite staff . Food was amazing and had ho E made desserts. I would highly recommend to others. Also this is a dog friendly pub and you are supplied with a dog blanket and a bowl of water, which is a nice welcoming touch.

It was my daughter's birthday and there was no restaurant around, so we chose the pub. It was a blessing in disguise. The food was perfect for kids, and they loved the food. The atmosphere is great ๐ sadly due to rainy weather, we couldn't choose the seating outside. It is a must visit pub, and I am definitely coming in summers to enjoy the beer garden. Staff was super friendly. I would recommend anyone this place. Thank you for making our day.

The Rose and Crown is the perfect independent pub. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is lovely, and the staff are the most positive, kind people on every single visit. Can't rate it highly enough!

Although a pleasant pub and nice window seat, unfortunately the food was terribly disappointing. I opted for the ploughmanโs lunch, this was totally unappetising, a small chunk of cheddar, couple of pieces of sweaty looking game, half a roll , pickle on side and gritty unwashed lettuce, oh yes and half a pickled onion and half a gerkin. This was 5p shy of ยฃ17! The half roll was nice, nothing else. My partyโs meals were more appreciated and they were consumed. For 4 adults and 2 kids 3 x soft drinks totalled ยฃ99. A side plate of Halumi for 4 year old was ยฃ4.95, priced at 80p a piece. Shockingly poor value,

We hired the function room at the Rose and Crown recently for a celebration of life for our mum who recently passed away. The staff were amazing and took care of all of our needs The buffet comes with different price points. We chose the top one which really was top notch. They have their own sound system so theirs no need for a DJ. All you have to do is press Bluetooth and connect to the playlist on your phone so you can play all your own music. The Rose and Crown in on Writtle Green, the setting is great and the garden is huge with a large patio area. We hired the hall for four hours but we were made welcome to stay as long as we liked which was very kind of them. We couldn't fault our experience and we'd highly recommend it. All this and it came in under our budget, the prices were very fair. It was a long day and were overwhelmed so I overlooked leaving a tip. No matter as we'll popping in again soon so I'll sort it out then๐

I booked for 8 people, but at the last minute I needed to add another diner, they were happy to help. The food was excellent, sadly some of the item on the menu had sold out showing how popular this is as an eating destination, but that didnโt stop any of us still having an alternative we were just as happy with. As this is a pub the drinks were well kept and was very pleased with the selection available. The staff were attentive and made the experience of meeting friends even better. Will visit again

This pub used to have the best roast in in Essex, and I agreed, expensive but beautiful so you don'tmind..however I went last week and the same price but the roast beef was more like fried sliced beef/steak slices .. so I feel that they have got you a little bit there, lovely pub nice atmosphere would continue to go but not pay out for the roast anymore which is a real shame, could be a one off but has to be said for the price

A Heartfelt Tribute at The Rose and Crown, Writtle Our annual visit to The Rose and Crown in Writtle is a cherished tradition, a tribute to a dear friend we lost too soon. This pub never fails to impress, serving up a Sunday lunch that is both comfortingly familiar and excitingly delicious. The highlight? Their Yorkshire puddings - grand in size and light as air. However, it's the rich, glossy gravy that truly steals the show. It's a savory symphony that elevates every bite, making the meal unforgettable. The atmosphere is always bustling yet warm, the beer selection superb, and the staff are genuinely friendly and attentive. The Rose and Crown isn't just a pub, it's an experience - one we heartily recommend. Whether it's a celebration or a remembrance, your time here will be well spent.

The atmosphere and staff were excellent and the food reasonably priced. Unfortunately the roast potatoes were very over cooked and hard, the chicken was just about cooked and whilst there was gravy on the plate it was tasteless. The food was tepid.

Nicely located pub on the green in Writtle on the outskirts of Chelmsford. Decent selection of beers and drinks. I'll say the menu is pretty formulaic, but then I say that of so many pubs. Service was efficient so worth the stop on the bike ride I was on. I'd go back but this pub isn't at the top of my list. It's decent/average or however we rate these things.

Amazing afternoon tea. A real treat with fantastic service aswell. I loved that you get given to start with rolls and we were given fritters but it could be sauasage rolls (we were told they there would be sausage rolls) the fritters were nice, a bit different. Then afterwards you get served by silver service to choose your sandwiches. Lots of choice to choose from, 6 different filling. Then you get the stand with the scones and deserts. All delicious. They provided boxes to take away the ones you can't eat because your full. There is a list of different teas with a large variety including lemon and ginger. I highly recommend this afternoon tea. I was also spoilt by the chef with writing Happy 50th Birthday in chocolate on a plate, that was a nice touch, thank you Pontlands.
