Based in the village of Nottage is this wonderful little Gem., and has become my favourite place to eat and relax. This is my 3rd visit in as many weeks. There is a small parking area to the front of the premises. It also has a lovely seating area placed at the front of the establishment, cross over a small lane/road (which can be busy) to a walled green which I believe is very popular in the warmer months. The bar is dog friendly and welcoming to their escorted Hoomans 😉 I/we were greeted by a lovely young lady called Emma who showed us to our seats, and gave us menus (she supplied my elderly friend with a pair of glasses to read the menu when she realised she'd forgotten hers) - (A selection left by past/other guests to the establishment) The restaurant is very atmospheric and oldy-worldly. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is competitively priced, well presented and delicious. I will definitely be visiting again ☺️

We came here for a bit of food and a drink. We were just expecting a typical bit of pub grub, nothing special. BUT OMG.. we ordered the signature burger and buttermilk chicken burger and the flavours were incredible. We also had the sticky chicken starter which blew us away! The taste of the blue cheese mayo was out of this world. So far, my favourite place to swing by for a spontaneous meal in the whole of Bridgend/Cardiff.

Used to visit regularly and have done for years, the food is now very average and the portion sizes are ridiculous especially the amount of chips you get I’ve never seen anything like it. The chicken in the curry was also cold and both meals just had no taste. They charge a fortune and it’s just not worth the money. Won’t be returning anymore.

Absolutely fantastic meals I had the pan fried seabass with crushed potatoes, beautiful fresh greens with lemon butter sauce 😋 My partner had the special, belly pork burger, it was enormous, but so very nicely presented. His response was " the best meal he'd ever had " I thought the price was very reasonable too £40 including a pint. So I would highly recommend the Rose and Crown The staff are very pleasant and efficient

I ate here on the 30th July and I have to say I was disappointed. The food was not cheap and higher than other chain restaurants I thought, which is Ok but the quality did not reflect the price. I had steak pie and chips, the pie was Ok but no lumps of steak and more mince and not that nice really, the chips were good, the caramelised carrot was nice, the peas OK but the green beans were under cooked and the mange tout, they should have been in the bin (but I don’t like them anyway). I found the service slow; we waited ages to be served and for the food to arrive. It wasn’t that busy in there, a few in but at least half empty inside I would say and certainly tables empty near us, I think there were some outside eating too. The salted caramel sundae dessert thought was gorgeous and a very nice salted caramel ice cream, not over sweat.

Booked a late table on a Saturday night. Greeted by a lovely lady at the front of the venue and sat extremely quickly at a nice table. The venue was busy but it gave a wonderful vibe to a nice local pub restaurant setting. Drinks were served quickly and we went straight in for mains and these were delicious having the special which was the lamb shank which was super tasty! Topped off with a sundae! Service food and atmosphere was great and I would 100% recommend and return!

The pub was very hot there was no air conditioning I asked for a table by a window but none were available. We were then left for 25 mins without even a glass of water.! We asked for water and it took another 10 minitues before a jug of water was brought. We then ordered our meal and wine. The white wine was brought to the table and just left for us to open and serve. We poured the wine it was warm! The saving grace was that the food was good. I googled the pinot grigio we had it retails at £5.99 it was on the wine list at £25! Another wine I know as I drink it Picpoul de Pinet usually retails for £15 ish was on the wine list for £50!!!!. After we had complained a number of times about these things they started to be more attentive and the service started to improve and they were making a big effort. However (as I had my own restaurant) I took the lady manager aside snd explained hospitality is all about giving a great experience to their customers. I asked her what she thought our experience had been like for us. She said not good I am sorry. (She is a lovely person but it is hard to improve on first impressions.

Came down to Wales from Newcastle for a work trip and booked this place as a quick stay overnight. First time in south Wales. The staff were lovely, very hospitable and chatty, and gave good recommendations to the beach. The rooms were clean and cosy, and the morning breakfast was grand. I will be back here again (either at work or on holiday). 10/10, would recommend to anyone. Thank you for a lovely stay. About £80 - £90 for a night, breakfast, and evening meal.

Table for eight, not one complaint! Lovely food, service and atmosphere. Just had dinner with husband. Absolutely faultless! Great old place. Lunch with girls. Lovely food as usual! Great servers. Fish was tasty. My only gripe was that we had to wait a bit of time. I had to cancel my desert because I had to go! I'm sure if I'd have said something, they'd have served quicker! Never mind, we really enjoyed ourselves.
