Rose & Crown in Bracknell Forest

We were all soooo looking forward to our once a year Christmas meet up, for a nice Christmas dinner and good company. Company fantastic, meal very, very disappointing, starter great, main meal hard, burnt, tasteless, food swimming in gravy, believe all the meals dished up on plates and left in the oven or under a grill, how a chef can allow this type of food to leave his/her kitchen is not good, we will not be going back and would not recommend

Oh boy! Are you in for a treat if you eat here!!! I can totally recommend the stuffed pork belly and my friends roast beef looked utterly divine. I don't know where I found the room to fit the chocolate tart in, but I did and it was awesome too. We'll definitely be back for more. Highly recommended!

We booked for a family of four for a sunday lunch for 12.30pm and arrived on time . As is not unusual, we were told when we booked that our table would be required by 2.30pm .We ordered and then eat our food as and when it arrived. As we ordered desserts and coffee ( at 2.20pm)we were told that our table would be required by 2.30pm.There was no reason to suppose that we would not be finished by 2.30 pm .Our time at the table was completely governed by when we were served each course. When paying the bill I mentioned that i was not happy about this. I was told that my comments were noted but that this reminder would continue to be given. The food was not cheap, but good. This will be a first and last visit .

Food was very good quality and nicely presented. The atmosphere was ok but has lost something since the Greene King days. I found the service swift but found that the staff were fairly aloof on the point of being arrogant.

My wife had the steak baguette which was so tough and cheery as to be inedible. I had the spicy king prawn baguette which was neither, it wasn’t spicy and the prawns were so small they could have been shrimps, it was like they opened a jar of prawn cocktail and scooped it in the baguette. I did point these things out to the staff member who said normally they would replace the items and sorry they weren’t up to our standards, they should be ashamed serving that. No offer of coming back or knocking a bit off the bill, very blase and took my £33 Avoid at all costs, they really don’t care and serve sub standard food at high prices

4 of us had a very nice meal with wine. The service was exalent, and the waiter was helpful and engaging. Thank-you.

Pretentious and overpriced. Portion size very small, ham hock was tasteless, may as well of been wet cardboard. The waitress was very pleasant and the interior is decorated well but more care should be given to quality of food.

Went for Sunday lunch with my daughter. The staff were lovely and welcoming and there was a real cosy family atmosphere. The food was delicious (pork belly roast and a burger, followed by sticky toffee pudding and creme brûlée) and the service attentive but not overbearing. My only advice is to book because it does get busy. Thank you.

Went for Sunday lunch, good fast service. The pork was delicious but the beef somewhat chewy. They put the gravy on the plate before it comes to you which makes everything soggy. However all very tasty and a cosy pub.

Great food, great service, cosy and exactly what was needed!

A friend took me to try their coffee and pastry promotion, and it was so nice. The whole place is so warm, cozy, and welcoming. Love the lit candles all over the restaurant. The staff was lovely and friendly. Coffee was great (which says a lot coming from me), and pastry was warm and fresh. What we didn't know was that it was bottomless coffee and pastry. Wow. What a great deal! Go check it out x

Being regular customers we decided to try elevenses at The Rose and we were not disappointed! Great presentation, delicious coffee and pastries and as always, superb service!

This is a gem . We went for Sunday lunch! The service was very warm and welcoming. And the food was outstanding. Great value ! Very dog friendly. So good we are going again on Wed !

Went to Rose for their elevenses deal £5 bottomless coffee and pastries. Their pastries are really good, best croissant in the area I would say. Their service is excellent. Looking forward to coming back for their regular menu.

We went to experience the Wednesday Steak/ chips/ glass wine evening.We had a nice round table for 6. 3 of us had Steak. 2 were good but 1 had to be sent back as was very fatty and hard to cut. When we asked for 3 Steak knives, the female manager just said "No". The young waitress'Molly' was very helpful and got us 3 steak knives. The other meals were very enjoyable. Molly is a great asset to the pub restaurant but the manager comes across as very unfriendly.

Popped in for lunch and so glad we did. Lovely pub with a good range of drinks and food with friendly staff. A hidden gem not to be missed. We will be back for dinner soon !

Booked a table for four in the restaurant, was offered a tiny table in the bar when we arrived. Staff had a ‘take it or leave it’ kind of attitude, so we left it. Given 5 stars for food so as not to be unfair but we didn’t get to find out for ourselves.

Great food, reasonably priced. Lovely decor.

Overpriced. No welcome by staff. Shoved into a corner with 2 disabled people Will not return

Second visit since it changed from Rose and Crown to Rose. We were looking forward to a nice cocktail having seen a cocktail menu on the restaurant's website, but when asking for it we were told they don't serve cocktails. Had we known this we would've had a drink at home before leaving for the restaurant. Closest thing to cocktails was a summer spritz menu that two of us regret ordering from... Chambord spritz that tasted like very watered down cordial for £12, not how I wanted to start the evening. Food menu is interesting and varied; tasty dishes with well balanced flavours; beautiful wine with very useful tasting notes on the menu. Service was very good, we had a young woman as our waitress (Sat evening 21/9) who was very sweet and attentive. We got a quiet table in a corner away from the louder crowd without having to even ask for it which was very appreciated. The décor and atmosphere is very elegant and cosy, with candles and a fireplace. We really enjoyed the wonderful music playing, it gave the place an old time French charm. So often I find meals out are spoiled by loud music that ruins the ambience. All in all a lovely place to enjoy a romantic dinner or dinner with friends.

Manager was so rude as we entered and very unwelcoming, as if he didnt want our business.

This is a gem of a pub tucked away down a quiet road rear the racecourse - what a find! I came here with my friend and sausage who wandered about like he'd won an Oscar (sorry). Food felt like Kerridge had just dropped in for a shift. Was soo yummy!! The staff are young, very polite and treat everyone like they're super special. However long yr drive.. it very much worth it!

We enjoyed a fabulous early evening meal on Sunday. Delicious food. Pork and fennel scotch egg and scallop starters , hot mackerel salad and sea bass main courses accompanied by a bottle of South African Chenin Blanc. The service by Peter and his team was fantastic. Would highly recommend

Lovely lunch, great service and tasty food. Nothing was too much trouble.

Warm welcome, lovely ambience with candles and beautifully decorated surroundings, charming helpful staff and fabulous food. Thank you so much!

Had a nice long walk in Windsor park and stopped for a coffee at Rose Woodside. Had lunch the next day and an early dinner today. Weather was so nice we sat outside over looking the vineyard. We drank the rose the vineyard produced which was delicious. Food was tasty and well presented, service was excellent, well done Peter! I really hope locals will discover this little gem on their doorstep, I’m so pleased we did!

Very good roast, tasty thinly cut beef and a generous Yorkshire ! My little one also enjoyed her pasta. Car park is on the small side but there is parking on the road outsde.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem when passing through the area, we sat outside and enjoyed some drinks and a chat with the lovely general manager. Delicious food and gorgeous views across the vineyard next door. Will definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

Excellent curry when visiting this pub. Welcomes as soon as I entered the pub, and was provided with a very nice table. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Great find, tucked away from the main road. Definitely above average food for a pub, beautifully cooked and presented. We received a warm welcome and excellent service throughout. We will be back.

Cute place - really nice surroundings and lovely staff

I initially expected typical pub fare, but the Rose pleasantly surprised me. They offer more refined cuisine with excellent flavors, including hand-cut chips. While the food is elevated, the atmosphere retains a lovely pub feel.

Used to be a lovely pub for a drink although it has just had a bad refurb to make it look more upmarket, and failed. The nice bench in the corner has been ripped out, the nice etched signage’s in the doors has been ripped off, the lights are up too high and it’s been painted a weird purple colour. Bathroom has been painted purple too but the grout hasn’t been cleaned and is grubby and mouldy so the refurb just seems lazy and superficial. Can only comment on the bar snacks which are tasty as usual and the chef is decent. It’s now called the rose by Nicholas James - not sure who he is as the chef is the same as before.

Terrible experience - the waitress first of all, got our drinks order wrong but we let it go because she didn’t speak much English. She then took our food order, came back 10 mins later to check it, half of which was wrong. She then came back again to confirm which chicken dish it was, we confirmed the chicken supreme for one of the table, and that we wanted the board first as a starter, and she went back to the kitchen. When the food came, we got it all together, a chicken curry instead of a supreme, and the tomato panzella salad was all lettuce and onion with one sad sun dried tomato cut in half on top. When the manager (man with glasses) took it away to “redo it”, it came back as a larger portion of the same thing. The board, which is twice the price of a starter, so assumed it was a sharing board, had one small fish cake, 3 prawns and dollop of fish pate. By far the most disappointing was the attitude of the manager/owner. He was saying sorry, but also didn’t address what was wrong with any of the food, and the bill then came out with the wrong dishes on it - his general manner is rude and abrasive. He appears to have returned to the pub as people came in and seemed surprised that he was back. We will not be returning.

The staff were really kind and provided me with pens and paper even though I only bought a coffee. Super-expensive car charging machine $$$$$ but at least they have one.

Absolutely loved our visit today, delicious cocktails, wonderful atmosphere and a really enjoyable meal. I also love that they have lots of EV charging provision.

Took a little while to be served which was fustrating but nice food when it arrived nice atmosphere until the kids at another table started screaming but otherwise nice place

Really nice pub in North Ascot, in a nice quiet location. We went on a Sunday for a roast, and it was great, cooked to perfection. Service was great, with very friendly staff. Will definitely be going again and highly recommended

Amazing pub, we been going here for years now. Great food, drinks, venue! Bonus it has electric car charging and board games. Amazing for such a small pub too.

Very quaint pub located in a quiet area. We had lunch on a Friday and the food was fantastic and very well presented. Service very good and friendly staff. Will look to return for an evening meal 😀

My first visit was today, Dad and I had a lovely meal and were very impressed by the staff, our waitresses were amazing: friendly, well presented and very helpful. Will definitely return.

We went to the Rose & Crown this afternoon for Sunday lunch. From the first moment walked in all the staff were welcoming & re-allocated our table to make it easier for my 94 year old grandmother. The roasts were delicious! Good portions and the turkey was lovely, it wasn’t dry at all! Upon leaving the manager on shift and another waiter assisted my Grandmother with exiting the restaurant. Very kind staff all round! Thankyou!

Good food great service friendly and welcoming.

Popped in here on the off chance as we had tried somewhere else and had been turned down. That sounds awful, doesn't it? Actually it was the best decision of the evening! The atmosphere was great, the staff were fantastic, very knowledgeable and attentive and the food was delicious! So with that in mind I'm glad we got turned down beforehand! Well worth a visit!

Great pub, staff and restaurant . The cocktails are fantastic!!!

Had previous cracking experience Today was very disappointing Service was poor Very clear what was not available on menu- introduction to service Made to feel children of a lessor god Asked for port with cheese-not available???? NOT pork, port! Desert - custard couldn’t be exchanged for ice cream??? Several spirits not available… I’m really disappointed

Went to lapland uk,had a night in your pub. Loved it

Excellent food, fantastic service and a good selection of beers and ales.

waited an hour for food after forgetting too put our ticket through should be checking on customers within the first 15 minutes.

We had Sunday lunch here. Good amount of meat and veg. Almost crispy potatoes and good Yorkshire Ladies toilet need some work and toilet seat shifts all the time We cycle there but the bike rakes only secure the front wheel so a D lock is impossible Went back Sunday but not looking for a roast. I had a shredded duck flatbread (tasted mostly of Hoisin sauce) and my husband had a chicken pie. He said it was very standard and quite disappointing

Don't normally give all 5 stars but this place deserves it. Lovely attentive and quick service and best part is the food... I tried a new menu for Nov. and it was top class. I will be going back.

Best Sunday roast we've had in ages! The beef was unbelievable

Great place. My wife & I stopped for lunch, the fish & chips were delicious!

Good food, real ales and friendly staff. Unfortunately pretty empty when we went (weekday early afternoon) so not much atmosphere.

Excellent food, well presented and cooked nicely. Would recommend the sea bass. Very pleasant and efficient staff. Will return.

We had a very lovely meal here. Could not fault the food. The waitress was always smiling and very attentive. Would definitely return. Only suggestion I would make is to have some kids desert options other than ice cream.

Had a very good meal and drinks for my sons birthday, service was excellent and a great atmosphere, the Timothy Taylor Landlord Ale went down a treat we will return.

Excellent service, very good food

The burger was poor. Brioche buns need to be toasted. Rest was good though, lovely setting

Pleasant location, inside and out seating options. For food see menu. Friendly staff. Minimal wait time. NB the tiramisu dessert is a cake. Would definitely re- visit.

Beautiful pub with a nice, if pricey, menu. What could have been a pleasnt meal was ruined by servers who were downright hostile. If you can't even raise a smile for customers who were spending a considerable amount of money in your establishment you are in the wrong business.

Very poor. Wouldn’t go again. The food service everything was dreadful

I visited the Rose & Crown with a friend, and I should point out that we are mature in age, it was our first drink, and we were smartly dressed, I say that because it is important for context. Whilst there, I intended to book a table for six people in a couple of weeks for a celebration dinner. We ordered a couple of pints of beer, and these were put on the bar in front of us. I noticed that mine was significantly under measure, so I didn’t touch the glass which remained on the far side of the counter, expecting the barman top it up. Unfortunately, there was no eye contact, no pleasantries and he turned his back and started faffing with the glass-washer. OK, so perhaps it had been a hard shift, but not looking up, he ignored another waiting customer for a couple of minutes. When he eventually realised that there was custom to be had, I politely asked if my drink could be topped up. I was shocked to be told, no, it had been too long and that I could have drunk some. I explained that I hadn’t touched the glass, but he basically accused me of being a liar. Giving short measures is not only an offense, it is very poor customer service. Let’s face it, if I had had a swig, it would have cost the pub a few pence and I could have only gotten away with it once – But I hadn’t. The attention to customer service at the Rose & Crown was just atrocious. Despite the Greene King logo on the pub, this is an arrangement were the establishment is a private business and Greene King, apparently, only own the building, so they have little influence – but this type of poor customer service does damage the Greene King brand, and they should be concerned. Needless to say, I didn’t book the table for six – if this is the way that the staff behave front-of-house, goodness knows what goes on in the kitchen!

This place is absolutely exceptional. Reading through the reviews I can’t understand how anyone could rate this place negatively. Had two lovely ladies serving me who were very attentive and kind, who actually both had the same name which we found hilarious. It is often expected for small chain places to have run out of dishes because it can be so difficult to predict how many consumers will come and order it, then making it difficult to have everything fresh for everyone. The staff dealt with the lack of a few dishes in a very sophisticated manner. The atmosphere was so peaceful and everyone was radiating positivity. Definitely recommend, ignore the bad reviews and see for yourself.

Oh so disappointing. The pub was very quiet and the welcome good. Drinks served nicely. From then on things went downhill. lThe French fries were undercooked and no condiments were offered, not even salt and pepper. We weren't asked if our meal was saitisfactory. Give the Eton mess a miss - it was a clump of congealed cream with a smattering of frozen berries (frozen fruit in the height of summer) and a broken shop meringue thrown on top. It looked scruffy and tasted sour. The cafe latte was very bitter with hardly any froth. To crown it all they put another £15 of someone else's drinks bill on ours. That's unforgiveable and the apology was minimal. Can't recommend and won't be returning.

Our experience was disappointing today two very small portions of fish and about twenty five chips between us. My first bite into my fish was full of bones they forgot our crushed peas which was pointed out to them, they then brought out garden peas. We then complained, they told us they have no control over the fish supplier. We was upset by the experience as we have really enjoyed our previous three visits. The meals were taken away, we paid for the coffee and wine and left. Regards Maddie.

Beautiful roast, staff couldn't be more helpful, lovely wine and the first pub in UK I found to serve Cruzcampo on tap!

Really lovely pub with great Sunday roasts! Service was fantastic.

All credit to this place. We had dinner there on Saturday and it was one of the best meals we have had for a long time. The sea bass was amazing as were the garlic prawns and crab. Well done to the chef and staff.

Looks like a lovely cosy pub, tucked away in the countryside. Food was good to satisfactory, we had the fish finger sandwich (excellent) the child's beefburgers with cheese (also excellent) and the crispy chicken wrap (chicken was a bit dry) The serving staff were super friendly and couldn't be more welcoming.

Visited with an old friend who booked for us, I’d never been before. Excellent food and service. Jenny looked after her and she was wonderful

Lovely chilled out pub to grab some dinner after a long day with the family at Legoland. Phoned ahead to book a table seeing as we weren't sure if it would be busy or not (Tuesday evening). On arrival staff were friendly and attentive and the food was lovely. A real gem hidden away from the main road and definitely worth a visit.

Very nice gastro pub. Tastefully done up. Good food, classic pub stuff really mostly but done well. Decent selection of beer and wine.

Cozy, quiet, beautiful garden next to an eye-catching vine yard. Not many parking spots, but you may be able to park along the road

Fish and chips had bones in it. Was here for my wedding anniversary and I always order the fish n chips here. This evening we found big bones in the fish including in the kids meal. Feedback to the manager wasn’t taken well, they said it depends on the batch of fish and is normal. I have never had fish n chips in England with bones .. have you ? Maybe I’m the unlucky one

Classic country pub. Good service and lots on the menu. Enjoyed the food.

Went for steak which was on the menu but unavailable. I wish we’d left then, but we persevered and had two very substandard meals. Service, however, was good.

Sat outside in garden, lovely sunny day, not to busy staff were friendly and prompt enjoyed the food, looks like dogs are welcome outside at least not sure about inside

Awesome. Amazing food and service. We were a party of two and loved the chicken fricassee and the croquettes to start. Fab staff.

Lovely pub, great food and friendly service. Big selection of beers and wine. Typical pub menu which is done really well. Interiors are very welcoming

Luckily I came across this pub whilst searching for an alternative to Legoland food. Unbelievable service and food was amazing. So good in fact we went back the next day for lunch!

Went for Sunday lunch and they fitted us in at really short notice. The beef and belly of pork roasts were delicious and there was plenty of it. The Yorkshire puddings were huge and tasty. Would definitely recommend the roast dinners and will be back. Many thanks

The food was delicious, one of the best restaurants I've been to in the area!!

Lovely food, friendly staff, warm and cozy! Will definitely be back 😍😍 Back again!!! With my sister, lovely as usual!

Nice pub with nice own beer. Young barman is rude but to be fair, another member of staff noticed, apologised and said they’d have a word.

Very welcoming and attentive as soon as you walk in, but not overly so. Large selection of wines and two good bitters on. Lovely menu. Given time we could make our way through all of it. We had a very pleasant experience, and will be back. Soon.

A great find which is now a regular visit with friends for dinner. Lovely atmosphere and superb food.

First visit was in February, that good went again in March. Lovely country pub. Good menu and I recommend the burgers. 2nd time the club sandwich which was also lovely. Good selection on beers and wine. Great ambiance

Been here twice now and the service is fantastic and food is delicious.👍

Lovely little hidden gem out the back of ascot. Great food, lovely service and really cosy aesthetics

Lovely family lunch. Booked on the spur of the moment, so luckily we got a table. Excellent service and food. Roasts were fabulous!! Clean plates all round.

We had a lovely meal Friendly service Not the quickest but we were in no rush Good value Nice gluten free options too We’ll be back !

First time visiting and enjoyed every aspect from the the pub it’s self to the staff and the food was outstanding. The pork belly was amazing and filling. Highly recommend and shall return soon.

This isn’t far from where I live so it was a surprise to think that I’d never been here. It is tucked out of the way but there are advantages - parking is a doddle for a start. 5 of us had lunch. Everyone liked...

Charged full price for a flat bread which was so tough I couldn't cut with a knife. A replacement was offered but I couldn't wait that long as service was slow. Presumed it would be taken off the bill but no discount was offered. Never again.

Flatbread so flat and hard I struggled to cut it with a knife. I was offered a replacement when they noticed I had a problem but we had waited quite a long time for the food and didn't have time to wait for another meal....

Lovely gasrpub, newly done but in a rustic, stylish was. Good food

We’ve always had a great dining experience here and today did not disappoint ! With 9 family members including 3 small children, a big shout must go to Josh who looked after us brilliantly and served us up a wonderful feast. After 3 hours of...

Lovely cozy little pub hidden away. Best lunch I’ve had in a long time the lamb wrap was delicious the coleslaw homemade and loaded chips were just perfect I can’t wait too go back and try more!

Very welcoming country pub with an excellent menu. Will return shortly.
