Rose & Crown in Warwick

We were in Warwick for the evening, stumbled across this place and was surprised that there was a table as had not booked and was the Friday before Christmas. Staff were friendly food was fresh and really enjoyable atmosphere a lovely little find and would definitely come back if in the area.

We booked the Rose and Crown on the basis that it was dog friendly and able to cater for a coeliac. Our table was fine, service was slow, but the place was busy and we weren't in a rush, although at 3.50 we were told our table was booked for 4.30 we still hadnt had a chance to order our desserts. When the food arrived the plates were dirty (you could feel the bits on the base of the plates). The vegetarian option had an odd metallic taste and on the plate was, what I thought was a parmesan style tuille (as someone who has been a vegetarian for over 40 years it didn't occur to me that it could be anything else), it turned out to be pork crackling. The antipodean waitress was borderline rude and aggressive when a dessert came out wrong. The main waiter who served us did not charge for the "vegetarian" main and apologised, but I was left feeling physically sick and angry. If pork can be put on a vegetarian dish how safe are genuine allergy sufferers eating here? If crumbs from the Wellington had contaminated the gluten free dish my mother would end up ill for several days. I feel ill and stupid, but this could have been so much worse.

Went for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The fire was blazing and is also dog friendly. Lovely friendly atmosphere and great food

We had a lovely meal on Saturday night. 2 of us dined off the Christmas menu which was lovely, and 1 off three usual menu. The food was all really good. One of the starters hadn’t been heated proper,yet but this was dealt with quickly. Great atmosphere too.

We booked for the Sunday lunch and had 4 turkey Christmas dinners and 3 starters. A bottle of wine and soft drinks. The service was friendly from everyone however, the food was terrible. The sprouts were rock hard and had a weird bitter taste to them. The turkey was dry and hard (we thought it was pork) but the roast potatoes and veg were nice. We were waiting for a very long time to order desserts so, ended up paying and leaving. The pub got busy so, the service got worse hence why we never had desserts. Shame as we’d been here about 5yrs ago and it was very good. This time it was for my birthday and we won’t be back. Between the 4 of us we spent £170, not worth it at all.

Had a truly lovely lunch today. Service was exceptional from Emily and Chris! They are a credit to your organisation! Food was good, though not exceptional. Confit dug leg was good, but sauce disappointing. Chocolate fondant though was a delight! Decoration is looking a little tired. Come on Peach, time for a refurb I think! Recommended.

Went for a family meal . Staff great .. food good but not dazzling.. very expensive for what you receive on the plate .. but very edible .. the really bad issue was fruit flys everywhere, now I'm not talking 1 or2 here .. 50 to 60 .. close to an infestation. Quite off putting when you are trying to eat . Maybe the owners should think of spending a bit of money on a solution

Fabulous Sunday lunch, everything worked perfectly. lamb was sublime and perfectly cooked. Highly recommended if your in Warwick

Super Sunday dinner with the family. Staff were spot on, food was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was lovely, staff were very helpful thankyou

Nice pub but a pint of lime & soda is extortionate. £4.20 apparently, bearing in mind a pint of beer is £6!

Clean and tidy bar area which is where we sat (high table) friendly staff and tasty Sunday roast with delicious extra yorkshires.

Lovely as ever but service uncharacteristically slow

This place is great! The roo. Was spacious. The beds were comfortable. It had a great airy atmosphere. The food was great. The staff were so friendly. I would definitely recommend this place if you are going to Warwick. If you go to the Castle make sure to see the Falcon show, it made the price of the ticket worth it.

Amazing big family room on the top floor (room 5), free biscuits, hot drinks and water in the room, ideal location in the centre of Warwick. Thank you for a lovely stay. Photo shows view from window.

Well we have only stayed once a few years ago, we stayed with some family in the rooms over the Market Square - they were comfortable and clean and it's a nice view in the morning. If you wanted to stay in Warwick (or a local historic town close to Stratford and Leamington) I'd be happy to recommend it. Also you get the great R&C breakfast next door! The main menu is fairly simple and well cooked modern British food (that includes continental influences obviously as it always used to before the 20th C.) and the brunch menu has some delicious dishes. The pancakes, we don't like - maybe they've changed them but that was one thing that my kids complained about a few years ago at a different peachy pub. Small Scottish pancakes? The Sunday lunch is great value and delicious.

Easy access. I was only there for breakfast but it was perfect.

Great lunch with the family. Extra roasts a bonus!

We often drink at the Rose and Crown but had never taken family there before, including a 2 year old! From the moment that the staff sorted seating out for us, the customer service was exceptional. Quick and friendly service, and the staff could not have been more helpful in helping to keep the 2 year old amused, particularly the kind man who brought smarties to the table for her (I didn't take his name, but he had his own 2 year old I believe!). The atmosphere was very welcoming, and our family were thoroughly impressed. The Guinness was very good too (appreciated by my Irish Brother-in-Law!!)

Lovely food, service and ambience well worth a visit

Weird. The fair was in town during our visit...... MC was right outside our room window. Not quite as per pics. Good bar. Nice food.

Coffee and brioche in passing 👌 very dog friendly too . Very nice quaint little place

A great place to meet for Sunday lunch However parking is tricky unless you happen to be lucky to get a space nearby as the one way system around town is confusing for non locals and the multi-storey was closed on the day we visited . However Rose & Crown is well placed to explore Warwick on foot once a parking space has been found. To be recommended

Only ate here. Lunch was good. Pie was exceptional. Fish n chips OK. £25 for both. Great value. Good beer selection. Nice wine. Fabulous service. Really friendly.

Great lunch, good service, good selection of beer.

To be honest, I was initially very apprehensive about this hotel. Especially after reading reviews that there is no elevator in the hotel. However, upon arrival, I found this hotel and the rooms very cute. It had a very warm and homely feel to it — and this makes it stand out from big hotel chains. The selection of tea and coffee in the room is commendable. Again, this is rare to see in hotels. The staff were very friendly too. Would highly recommend this hotel

Lovely food nice staff a little bit squashed in

Visited with a friend for lunch - staff were lovely and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere. We only had drinks and starters (as only wanted something light. The soufflé and the squash starters were absolutely devine - best thing we have ever tasted! Thank you all x

Best Sunday lunch I've had in a long time. Everything cooked to perfection 👌 Had the roast beef 😋 and Yorkshire pudding, can highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere and great staff

Wow! Fantastic food, the hake was delicious. Great service and the staff were very friendly. Really central location and a very spacious room with a beautiful bathroom. Will definitely be back.

Very nice and spacious family room with comfortable beds and a great complimentary tea/coffee/biscuit tray. The bathroom was clean but could do with a bit of an update. Many thanks to the excellent staff especially Will, Jake, Freddy, Gayna, Kerry and Courtney. The food was delicious and we would like to thank the chef for the sausages every morning for our fur baby. Highly recommended!

We stayed two nights and had dinner and breakfast. The room was absolutely delightful. We booked the family room which was on the top floor. I checked in alone and the manager was kind enough to help me with my bags. It is several flights of stairs but this was manageable for us. The room was clean, incredibly spacious, and wonderfully comfortable. The dinner we had was very nice. The wine and steak was lovely. The chips were very average. Breakfast was fine. A yummy coffee and plenty of options for kiddos. I had the pancakes and found the portion small for the price but tasty. It is the perfect location just off the market square. It can be a bit noisy at night but it is a pub after all and nearby other pubs/bars. We didn’t find it overwhelming though. Our toddler and baby still fell asleep fine.

Staff were cheerful, welcoming and efficient. Atmosphere in the pub was chilled and we enjoyed sitting outside watching the world go around. We didn't eat so cannot comment the quality of the food

We had a meal here, food was delicious, service was fast and staff polite and welcoming.

Brilliant service and excellent staff.

Food was very very poor would not recommend wouldn’t even feed to my dog needs a new chef

I had a pot of earl grey tea myself and my friends drank gin and tonics and lemon and lime.we sat outside as it was a lovely day

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here, the service was excellent- shout out to Jacob - couldn't have done enough for us. The food was excellent. Would definitely reccomend.

Positives; the food was very good. The manager was excellent, sadly he only arrived for the final 15 mins of our experience. Service prior to him arriving delivered a degraded experience.

Warwick Castle let us down with our restaurant booking, so I called this place and they said they could give us a table. We had a lovely waitress (Courtney) and the food was fantastic. We had a really enjoyable evening and the restaurant was buzzing. We have already booked again for tomorrow evening. Well worth a visit. Thank you for fitting us in and making our first night’s stay a great one 😊

Food lovely, service a bit hit and miss

Needed a last minute table for 5 and they were very accommodating- food was great and worked wonderfully for us x

Warm welcome. Good menu. Tasty and well cooked food

Expensive -,Watch out - Initially they wanted £8.80 for 2 pints of lime and soda. 😮 I challenged this so was then charged £5.60 - astonishing.

During our road trip across South England, this has been a marvelous stop with a cosy room, excellent bathroom and enjoyable dinner in a lovely countryside landscape. Highly recommended for a stop when travelling with your beloved half ... Just a bit hidden from the main road axis but it insures quietness and calm.

Wow where do I start we stayed in room 3 and what a let down. Carpet stained and grubby. No wardrobe only 2 hangers in corner of room where the ironing board was stored. Bathroom mold between tiles, shower screen seal at bottom faulty causing water to leak on floor. Shower itself couldn't be adjusted so you had to flatten yourself against wall to get wet. Without a doubt one of the worse rooms we have ever stayed in. We should have taken note of other trip advisor comments before staying here. Needless to say we won't stay here again

Had dinner here on Sunday evening. Great food. I had Sunday lunch (pork and crackling) and my wife had the fish pie. Both excellent. Good beers on tap and great service from everyone there 👍 Service charge was not included so we tipped as it definitely warranted it. We'll be back again ☺

Six of us went for Sunday Lunch, despite the pub being very busy the service was very good. The lunch was excellent. None of us had ever been offered, out of the blue, extra roast potatoes or Yorkshire puddings. The apple crumble was also served at the table, allowing each person to dictate their portion size. Lovely meal.

A small group of us went for an evening meal last Saturday. Absolutely appalling, both in terms of food quality and (virtually non-existent) service. My rump steak - which I know tends to be on the tougher side- was so tough you could have made shoes from it. I couldn’t cut it with the knife provided and so tried to get a steak knife. 8 minutes of trying to get the attention of one of what appeared to be only 2 waitresses for the whole place proved ineffective so I ended up having to go into the actual kitchen to get one. I was offered a replacement but given everyone else had virtually finished their meal I just had to eat the chips (tasted frozen) and so-called peppercorn sauce (horrid, tasted so much like those packet mixes everyone used back in the day that’s what u actually think it was). They charged £22 by the way!!! Whenever we ordered drinks the waitress would have to tell us every time that it would be a while as the bar was so busy. There was a music event that evening near the place so it was absolutely rammed in bar and restaurant but I blame management for not predicting this and getting more staff in - as I said there seemed only to be 2 staff for the whole restaurant.

We've used the Rose and Crown many times and always had a good greeting and decent food. This visit has marred our view of the place. We arrived at 11.36am and was told by the barman that breakfast had finished and the lunch menu started at 12. We told this quite abruptly and there was nothing available until 12. We almost walked out there and then but decided to have a coffee. By the time the coffee came to the table 11.48am we decided to ask our server (who had a much better attitude) if we could order some lunch. Of course he replied! We ordered and the food was very nice.. Just goes to show that decent staff can make or break a place's reputation.

Lovely food, and friendly helpful staff

Great food and service and three courses for £31 is good value for the quality of the food. Will be back.

Fantastic Sunday roast in the heart of Warwick. Would definitely go back.

We had a nice lunch here and had a market fish and a salted beef sandwich and a draft beer. Good quality is good. Nice music and good atmosphere. Would love to come back again next time when we visit Warwick.

Sunday roast was fantastic, especially when they brought out extra roasties, yorkshires and a fresh jug of gravy! very happy with that. Excellent service too

Great pub/restaurant in the heart of Warwick with great character, food and beers. Certainly one to add to your list and I would recommend to all.

What a great place to spend a weekend or a stop over to break your journey.

Beautiful diner in the center of picturesque town of Warwick. I hade a chance to have a meal in the rose and crown just after church ceremony with my family. The food was lovely and the service was very professional and carried with a big smile and warmth. I didn't book a room the so i can't review the rooms services.

Very good spot, good gastro pub food. Only comment is the mattress which is too soft and uncomfortable. We may be back next time we are in Warwick.

The location in the town centre allowed for easy exploring of the town on foot. The room was roomy and comfortable. However, pthe room was located on the third floor and coupled with the rather narrow staircase, it was physcally hard work carrying our luggage. Parking was also inconvenient.

Nice gastro pub in a quaint setting. Lovely food menu options, decent selection of cocktails, beers and wine. We enjoyed a pre-dinner drink outside on a nice mid-June evening. Our work group had the fish and chips, lamb pie and shepherds pie and we all enjoyed our food. Service was friendly if a little erratic, but the staff were friendly so we had no complaints. Good experience overall.

Booked a room for our family of 4, two adults with Two children, ages 4 and 11 months. We planned to do a few excursions around Warwick and thought the central location would suit us. When we arrived we were put in room 5. The room itself was okay, large with a bit of a musty smell, not the end of the world but noticeable. The main issue with this was that room 5 was up 3 flights of steep stairs that are very narrow, this made getting our 11 month old with a pram very difficult. We raised this with the manager and he agreed this accessibility was an issue and that he would refund the stay, although this was annoying carrying all our luggage up and down the stairs we thought the resolution was agreeable given the situation. As we went to leave we spoke to the manager again to confirm he then said no refund can be given because the people above him said no, shocking service.

Warm welcome. Great service. Good menu choices. Our choices were well cooked and well presented

Three diners and we all chose a different meal from the menu and all enjoyed. Good service and decent prices

Great service. Brilliant with kids and dog. All four courses were high quality. Will definitely go back soon.

Staff quickly responded to our arrival. Enjoyed the meal.

Gorgeous food, kind and attentive staff.

Had breakfast here twice and dinner once. Food absolutely lovely and service was great. Staff could not have been more helpful. Perfect for a few days visiting Warwick.

We stayed at the Rose and Crown for 1 week over Easter on holiday with 7 people. Had 4 rooms. All clean and very nice. The staff from the typical English pub were very, very nice and super helpful. Breakfast super tasty. Something for every taste. The location of the hotel was very good. The only criticism is that there was no hotel parking space. So parking has to be added to the hotel costs. Parking space is only 5 minutes away on foot. We also ate three times in the hotel. Super great and very tasty. Once we even spontaneously got a separate room for ourselves and our English friends/family. There were 12 of us together. Everything fine. Anyone who loves English flair will love this hotel. We would come back on a next visit.

Really lovely place to eat with a beautiful menu, it took my friend and I so long to choose it was that impressive! Very friendly and efficient service, I shall be back!

Great for a breakfast catchup with work colleagues.

This was a fantastic gastropub for drinking, with a beautiful style including the windows! Counter is well-presented, staff were friendly and the outside seating has pretty views. I enjoyed a pint of Heineken, sitting comfortably at a suitably clean table!

Always a big fan of Peachs Pubs, but they lost the plot today. Lack lustre service and filthy dining chair upholstery. What's the point of getting dressed for Sunday lunch to sit on badly soiled chairs (I did search for a clean one) ! A bit of training and cleaning overdue.

We have just had a terrible 2 night stay at the Rose & Crown. Our room number 6 was dreadful, the smell within the room was appalling. I complained initially that the room smelt of dog’s. We were offered a chance to move rooms but to a much smaller one. We decided not to change rooms given the actual reason for our stay was to join a family party in Warwick and that we would not be spending much time in the room. However the 2nd night was much worse, the smell of sewage in the bathroom was disgusting. Never again!!

Such a cute place and rooms! Beautifully located in the centre of 'Oldy-Worldy' Warwick. Has a huge amount of nice pubs, restaurants, cafes nearby. Big Sainsbury's round the corner. Parking outside and also electric car chargers directly outside the accommodation.

Great pub located in the square at Warwick.

Arrived last min hoping they had a table ended up waiting 10 mins maybe which was fine as they were fully booked I had the Sunday lunch which was amazing The beef was perfect 2 kids meals and a steak all very good dessert was very good also the service is excellent really really nice place would 100% recommend it

We stayed here as a stopover on a cycling trip over Easter. The room was great, the staff really helpful and the pub is lovely. We would definitely stay here again and would certainly recommend.

Sunday Roast was amazing! Yorkshire pudding with every meat and even walking around offering extras. Will be 100% go back.

This was our second time staying here for a mini-break and we had such a wonderful stay we just had to leave a review! We stayed two nights in a lovely large room with luxury bathroom products and comfy bed! Amazing breakfast both mornings and we also had dinner on the Friday night. There was an amazing live musician and also a magician - which along with delicious cocktails and amazing food, made for a fabulous and fun night! Our only problem was that there were too many options on the menu that sounded delicious and deciding was difficult! An especially shout out to Chris and Prim who looked after us throughout our stay and gave us excellent service and conversation :) We will be back! Thank you to all the staff that made for such a warm welcome and relaxing stay.

This is a review for food only, not the accomodation. This place has a luxurious feel to it with burgundy seating and deep teal walls. The service is excellent and they couldn't do enough so full marks on this. However the food needs some attention. It started when a specials board was brought to the table and they had sold out of the item chosen. This really isnt my problem, they have enough experience to ascertain how much they need to order in advance to cover the amount of guests they will have in over a certain day/weekend. If they cannot do this then maybe they should cut down their menu to facilitate having enough stock. I ordered my second choice of Pork and Crackling when what should have been advertised was Pork and an inch of Cracking as that would've been more accurate. The food itself was really well cooked so I had not issues there. The following morning, the full cooked breakfast consisted of two poached eggs, one that was hard which is basic stuff they should not get wrong, also the bacon had been left on the grill too long so was hard like cardboard. The sausage and everything else was good. Overall not bad but not as good as it could've bee.

Can't speak to the hotel part, but the pub was good. The "American Pancakes" showed that they've never tried American food before...or at least not from anyplace good. Taste was fine, but the texture was very off. Wife and daughter still ate every bite. My full English breakfast was great. And the waiter was a delight.

Great pub with nice selection of beers.

Delicious food. Well priced. Great team service

Good food a little more expensive than some places. Unfortunately we were put in an alcove, it would have been more pleasant in the main part of the dining room. Assumed it was going to get busy but there were only 1 other couple their when we left.

We have been to the rose and crown on a few occasions, today we were there for breakfast and lunch and served by Holly both times , so efficient, engaging and such a lovely friendly smile to welcome us , all the staff where very lovely I just feel Holly needs recognition for what a lovely young lady she is.

Lovely meal, excellent service and great atmosphere.

Lovely food and delightful ambiance and people but service was very slow.

Nice place, great atmosphere and the best truffle mac and cheese you’ll ever eat

Great food and service. Recommend you visit if in Warwick

Can’t go wrong with the rose and crown!! Great staff and great food!

We stopped off in Warwick on our way home from a trip to Manchester and fell upon this amazing pub. We were so lucky to be able to walk in and get a table straight away. We ordered the roast, my husband had the beef and I the lamb pave that was on the specials. It was by far the best roast lunch I’ve ever eaten in a pub!! Everything was cooked to perfection and we were even offered more roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings, something I’ve never experienced before!! Thank you to the Rose and Crown team, we will definitely come again when we’re next in Warwick!

Service was slow to start , I had to go find one of the staff to ask for menus. After this it was really good. Food was excellent

Me and my partner had planned a day out at Warwick Castle so looked for places nearby for Sunday lunch and found the rose and crown, service was fab and the pub had such a nice cosy/Christmassy feeling to it. The Sunday lunch was absolutely UNREAL a little bit more on the pricey side to what we are used to but it was so so worth it. We both had the roast beef and were even asked how we would prefer it to be cooked which I thought was amazing! We both asked for it pink and it was cooked to perfection, the roast potatoes were so crispy and the veg was also delicious. Homemade Yorkshire puddings too! Which they come round with again along with roast potatoes and ask if you want any more which we thought was a really nice touch. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here and we will deffo be going again, thank you!

We stopped here for lunch and weren’t disappointed! We chose 5 lighter bites from the menu, all were fantastic. Friendly staff, excellent service. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

A large group of us recently stayed here for 3 nights and there is nothing we could fault! The location is perfect, rooms were warm & cosy with everything you need. Breakfast was amazing and they were very accommodating for any changes to the menus which is especially helpful as we had 4 children with us! We also had the Sunday lunch which again was amazing - we had over 12 people all eating sunday lunch and everything came out together with no issues (the restaurant was also full) so it was quite impressive! The food and drinks prices where reasonable and reflected the area we were staying in. All the staff went above and beyond with every request and believe me we had quite a few! Everyone was happy to help and made us feel very welcome. I can honestly say we had no problems and thoroughly enjoyed our stay - we can be quite picky so it makes a change for us all to leave a hotel/ bar & restaurant with no complaints. The only slight improvement I would recommend is more accesible plug sockets in the room but for this to be the only thing we can comment on then they're are definitely doing things right! Tash & the team are doing a great job - we all would highly recommend both the hotel & the restuarant/ bar. We will definitely stay again when we come to warwick.

This was lovely for our family who had travelled from York,Brighton and west-midlands to dine at. We had a booking for 3pm and it was kindly changed an hour so before so we could eat at 2pm instead which was great. The menu selection and specials board was appetising and a good selection available . Our drinks ,food and desserts were all served in a good timely manner. The food was very tasty presented well and served nicely by two very pleasant and helpful waitresses by the names of HOLLY & MACEY.😊 Would we visit again ? …YES Thank you for accommodating an earlier time for us also for the good service we received from your 2 employees mentioned above. A place worth recommending.

Delicious food. Lovely staff. Had to chase the side salad and very noisy but the MOP. Was on and tables alongside us were drinking not eating and were lively

Meal nicely presented and well cooked. Service good and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.

Decent food, especially meat. Friendly people. But understaffed, so service slow. And a bit noisy. Decor is fun but needs updating.
