Rose & Crown in Warwick

A perfectly positioned welcoming and atmospheric pub in the heart of Warwick. The quality of the food is only bettered by the friendliness of the staff. This is my go to for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just drinks

Quite a unique and interesting Bar/Restaurant in an excellent location beside the Market square. Evening meal was sensational and service was excellent. Unfortunately on-site car parking is not available with the public car park about a 10 minute walk from the hostelry which is okay if it is not raining! The bedroom and ensuite were lovely and well equipped. Breakfast was tasty although expensive as items were individually priced, e.g. £3 for a glass of fresh orange juice is excessive and coffee/tea were not refilled free of charge. A reasonably set price for breakfast would I suggest be more enticing. Aside from this observation it was an overall enjoyable experience.

Overwhelmingly mid! The staff are so lovely and the atmosphere is nice, but the food is pretty terrible. For around £20 the fried fish will get you half a fillet, so probably the smallest fried fish I’ve ever seen. Should call it a fried fi because the chef took the other half for another dish. It is visibly fried, which is nice, but the taste and texture are more like a grilled fish. Fish and chips were very poor compared to other places. Texture and taste just don’t hold up. It’s a nice place and the staff are great so I’d love to come back here and drink, but I don’t think I’ll touch the food again.

Tonight I went in to the Rose & Crown with a view to dining. Had a few drinks at the bar, asked could I eat a main course at the bar and was refused and told restaurant only. I wasn’t keen on the formality of the near-deserted restaurant and explained this and was told it is their policy, even though there were no other customers sitting at the bar. I’m here in Warwick for the next 3 months on a work project, I would have come in at least 3 nights a week as I really liked their menu. I also mentioned this to the staff who reiterated their policy. Probably would have spent £70 a night on food and drinks as I do in other establishments when I’m away with work. It’s a terrible shame as it is a beautiful establishment. I left one very disappointed potential customer.

I had a lovely dinner here on the 16th of february 2025. The staff were very polite, always smiling and very accomodating as we hadn't made a booking in advance but they managed to get us a table. I had the Sri Lankan curry which was scrumptious with the perfect blend of complex spices- so thank you to the kitchen staff: Darren, Adam and Savannah. :)

six friends and I visited the Rose and Crown in market Square Warwick for Sunday lunch. The service was second to none and we were looked after a wonderfully well even though the restaurant was busy. The food was served promptly and was excellent. The staff were great and really made us feel welcome and made this a most memorable occasion. Well worth a visit.

I visited the Rose & Crown for Sunday lunch with 5 friends and we all couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. The pub has a great vibe with a friendly inclusive atmosphere that flows from the young, welcoming and accommodating staff who gave us excellent, prompt service through a long afternoon - despite how busy the pub was. The main courses were all tasty, well cooked and with generous portions - plus a good range of both starters and sides - all plates were cleared! But the whole very pleasant afternoon was made by the team who looked after us - especially Courtney, Chelsea Freya and Emily. Thank you all.

Leaving on behalf of my mum had a lovely stay last night, hospitality was perfect & room was spacious! Despite being only 1 floor up from the pub when in the room couldn’t hear a sound! Will definitely be back

Exceeded my expectations. Visiting for the Warwick Half marathon. Will be back next year 😄

The staff were superb. We were not from Warwick but they advised us where to visit. Drinks and service superb, along with the free nuts

After years of having brunch here, the last few visits have been let down by very poor and slow service. For example this weekend it took 45 mins and 3 times of asking to get my daughter a glass of water. The quality of the food was mixed for the 4 dishes we ordered. Time to find another brunch spot I think.

Habe alles ausprobiert: English Breakfast, Haggies zum Mittagessen, Steak zum Abendessen, selected beers and spirits an der Theke und kann sagen: Alles vorzüglich.

Friendly pub with very good Sunday Lunch and service. Well kept real ale.

lovely experience always. fab staff, lovely food and lovely environment

My favourite pub in Warwick Great choice and brilliant atmosphere

We visited Warwick and popped in for drinks & food. Excellent service from Chelsea and lovely tasty food, plenty of choice

Very nice pub, delicious food and lovely bar staff, especially Millie who was wonderful all evening! Will definitely be back.

lovely as ever, great service, food and fab ambiance

Excellent, everyone very happy and enjoyed our lunch out. Food great, beer cold and service was really good.

We had Christmas Eve in this pub. Great atmosphere! Perfect meal. The meat melts in your mouth....A delight. Friendly staff

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

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

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

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!!)

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.

Lovely food, service and ambience well worth a visit

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

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.

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 ☺

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
