Rose & Crown in Merton

Love this pub and come for a drink regularly. Unfortunately this evening we received what can only be described as appalling service. The staff are usually a pleasure however on the occasion it was uncomfortable and left us disappointed.

Lovely place, amazing fish and chips, staff are unbelievably friendly and accommodating. Really enjoyed our lunch. Dog friendly and have water bowls and dog treats. Would definitely go back if in the area.

Oh dear, the place was mobbed. Staff were undertrained and overwhelmed. We had to wait 1 and a half hours for a roast dinner. The food was ok but roast potatoes undercooked. Were ignored by the staff by the end of the meal. I think they had given up. The table collapsed on my grandson but the waiter just looked embarrassed. I really wanted to like it but it was lacking in so many ways. Sorry…

Great little spot to eat in Wimbledon - lovely waitress and my salad with figs and burrata and walnuts divine - will come again

Great pint of Guinness. Friendly staff. Fish and Chips was lovely.

Why did we not visit before tonight and I don’t know? A lovely warm friendly atmosphere. Food was really quite lovely too. Rosie was a lovely host at our table too. Would highly recommend to friends and we will definitely be back.

Booked a table approx 3 weeks ago. When we arrived yesterday were told there was a one & half hour wait for food as only operating as 1/2 a kitchen. I totally get this an unforeseen situation however walk in’s were still allowed rather than just allowing the guests who had booked in advance. Very poor customer service

What a little gem, nestled in the middle of Wimbledon village, surrounded by shops and even a farmers market on a Sunday morning. Nice size rooms and very comfy. Our Sunday roast was by far the best we’ve had in a long time. The roast pork and the service was on point. Thank you

Great Pub Great Food Great Atmosphere

Super Service the meal was as described can fast and was hot couldn't ask for more other than the atmosphere for a Saturday night was a bit flat perhaps everyone is saving up for Christmas

The staff here as so friendly and the Manager Nicky goes beyond to accomadate and make you so welcome thank you staff its nice to find a pub hotel.that has good old tradional ways respect and service *****

Some of the food was good, but the haddock was a bit over done. Service was poor, and we had to wait for over an hour for our food.

Overcooked batter was brown and crunchy (not crisp) in places. Looks like this might have been a left over reheated. Curry sauce was nice. I have had much nicer fish and chips here previously. Very poor phone reception, they offer their unsecured WiFi network if you sign up..

Always an amazing experience and Jess is very helpful, and beautiful.

We had a nice relaxing lunch at the Rose and Crown. We received a nice welcome and staff were attentive and helpful. Food was tasty and varied and not just your standard pub fare.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly to us and our puppy and very attentive.

Eat there regularly, punch well above their weight. Varied menu good specials . Staffed by happy people, Gemma gives such a friendly welcome and great service dining there is a real pleasure.

They do the best burgers ever !

Gemma was serving us. Had an incredible meal !

Really fantastic food, shared in a lovely place. Thank you!

My birthday lunch yesterday was attended by 28 guests in the informal snug area by the fireplace. We had a wonderful time, with great food (fish-and- chip kebabs, burgers, blinis, minipizzas and much more), all served by attentive staff. I have always considered R&C to be an outstanding pub and this was reinforced by our event. The atmosphere was convivial, aided by the wonderful decor (real stone flag floors!). I have received many appreciative comments from my guests, and I am happy to endorse these.

We stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful time. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms were very comfortable and well stocked with high quality items. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful. With the added bonus of parking, we highly recommend this place. Thank you.

I recently stayed at the rose and crown with my wife. All of the staff were extremely friendly and professional and could not do enough for you. The food was delicious and very tasty. The hygiene was exceptional. We loved the rain fall shower it was amazing and the rooms that we stayed in were lovely and comfortable. The only downfall was the Internet it was problematic. We would definitely stay at the rose and crown again.

We were very disappointed with lunch here on our visit to Wimbledon. Service was very poor and slow. And to cap it all, they got our order wrong. To compensate, the management did take the wrong meals off the bill. But still very disappointing 😞 Thank you for your speedy reply. We visited The Rose and Crown on many occasions and have always been very happy with the service and the food there and will be happy to visit you again.

the rose and crown always runs great events just like today at the pub olympics which was great fun and jess was very accommodating and made it a great evening

The atmosphere was lovely, service friendly, however we waited 45mins for our food, but otherwise was a good experience

Great service by helpful, friendly staff. Very good food and a brilliant, fun quiz on a Tuesday night

Nice pub in Wimbledon. Good range of beers, burger was excellent and especially the curly fries. Small outdoor space so get there early

This was my first time at The Rose & Crown, we had planned lunch for my mums birthday. From the get go the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, getting us a table outside, and acknowledged it was a family celebration and were very sweet towards my toddler. We were seen swiftly and checked up on often, always with a smile. The food was fantastic, and we didn't have to wait long for it either. The pub is lovely and the atmosphere in the garden was great, busy but not heaving, and the Olympics was on the big screen which was great in the background. Lots of cute dogs around too! I would whole heatedly recommend this pub and will be back very soon.

Used to be fantastic but the recent bar staff are terrible. Better alternatives to go to in the area

Typical English food and a great atmosphere to watch games and have a good time

sorry but rubbish and rude bar manager who made up own rules on a 17 year old drinking lemonade.

Good food, terrible service. Get a grip. The drinks order was wrong, we waited an hour for food and were told the delay was due to a large party who had pre-booked their order. Not a thing. Also, we had reserved a table but it was clear that the staff couldn’t find the reservation.

Amazing service , felt so looked after by a staff member named Charlie. Made us feel so welcome , great experience thanks so much 👍👍

Great food, great service and great atmosphere!

Great pub with ability to watch Wimbledon outdoors

A bit of a contradiction here, however let me explain. The pub is very nice and the staff helpful....however, we went to see England vs Slovakia. The management/staff had no consideration whatsoever for safety or experience of being at the pub. It was impossible to get drinks, moving around was like being at a festival over-crowded and praying you won't need a wee. I doubt safety regarding number of people was respected at all. Clearly management is more concerned about making as much money as possible in a short time over safety of the pub goers. Complete shamble of management.

Outstanding staff, service, food ans location again, we will be back!

Nice pub but their staff are just young posh kids that give terrible service. It’s a shame as could be great pub.

waited for more than 1 hour because they told us we must wait for 45 min but after 75 min our food wasnt in the oven yet

1st trip to London with our young children. Staff couldn’t have been more accommodating, excellent room and delicious food. We are all looking forward to our next trip.

Very nice little hotel, great service.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Celebrated my sons 17th birthday. The roasts were sublime! Service was spot on thanks to Jess and the team. Beautifully furnished dining room made it very cozy. Fantastic lunch and will definitely be going back soon.

Attentive and friendly service from Justyna

Probably 1 of the best roasts in the village

Absolutely delicious food and fabulously attentive and friendly staff! Fish pie, roast chicken, chocolate fondant and rhubarb Bakewell tart were particularly good! As was the selection of wines!

Lovely pub in Wimbledon village. Lovely and cosy inside, has a good size restaurant at the rear. Has a wonderful garden that is very comfortable with soft furnishings all around. Nicely kept. Staff lovely polite and friendly. Great place to end a nice walk across the common.

We had booked a table for a Sunday roast. On arrival, we were directed to a table in a dark corner of the bar area with no reservation sign as if they had just found a spare table to seat us, away from the restaurant. It took over an hour for the food to arrive and the ‘21 day matured beef’ was flavourless as were the vegetables. We had to ask for more gravy which again was bland and watery. Staff were walking past us when trying to ask where the accessible toilet was. Overall, disappointing considering the good reviews we had read.

Lovely Pub, amazing location. Food is really good, just always you have to wait too much for it :)

Busy, cosy pub with great tap selection

A lovely pub (and hotel) with two identities on Google maps.The Rose & Crown offers a fine selection of both keg and cask beers. Great service from the team behind the bar. A lovely place to spend some time.

Met a friend for late midweek drinks. Two malbecs, one L one M. Asked the barmaid if she could pour directly into the glasses as I always find the metal measures taint the wine. She couldn't as the wine glasses didn't have measures, so I said whatever ok. But then she took two additional glasses, poured m/l measures of water into them, and then used them as a guide on how to pour out the wine Perhaps I'm weird but i that was so incredibly thoughtful, rare to see that kind of initiative, even if minor. It's also just a pleasant place to meet a friend. Two thumbs up.

Great old english pub. Food looked good . Great homely vibe in the bar area. Good looking beer garden out the back. Fast service at the bar.

What truly makes any place are the people who work there and we have been coming back because the team is wonderful…helpful, friendly making us feel special! With special gratitude to Ms. Justyna for taking care of us!

Service was slow (and we were right next to the kitchen), roast was pants (maybe because we were booked for 1445) but yeah. Cauliflower and cheese was water. Gravy was water. Chicken (which is hardest thing to mess up), was. Dry as a bone. It's a nice place with decent drink selection, but am pretty put off eating here.

Justina was our server and she was a delight. Was so polite and personal. Would recommend

We regularly come and always have fabulous service from Justyna!

Very busy just as a pub should be on a Friday. Excellent friendly service, even though it was so busy. Delicious food and not rushed at all. This is how to do it!

Really good pub and good atmosphere. Gets busy during Wimbledon fortnight and is a great spot for summer drinks!

Went for drinks with friends, very friendly pub

The 🌹& 👑 is one of my favourites in Wimbledon Village. I enjoy the easy homely feel. It’s not selectable but the fish and chips are really good too.

Celebrated my birthday here, the area they set out for a larger group was perfect but after a few cancellations we didn’t need as much space. Jake H, who hosted us, was awesome in helping us rearranging the tables and made our overall experience lovely!

Always a good lunch at the Rose&Crown. Ox Cheek pie was delicious and the beer excellent.

Great Pub and really nice food .Staff very attentive and we had a nice evening . Only Down side was the bath rooms paper towel all over the floor . Obviously some customers not very respectful of the toilets and the manager should be checking the condition of these.

Food was great. Tasted beautiful. It just took over an hour to land on our table. When it did, one of them was the incorrect dish. When we were offered bread and olives to tie us over, that took 20 mins to come out - it eventually came out with our food. Bread and olives with bangers and mash is an interesting combo. My hypothesis is they over did the bookings and got greedy because the atmosphere was decent. When negotiating compensation for time wasted, the complimentary bread and olives were the only things offered as complimentary. I had to negotiate for one of the mains too. Of course, it was the cheapest main. I still think this is a nice pub for sure and I would recommend it. One more experience like this I will never go again.

We visited the Rose and Crown on Sunday 11th Feb after a lovely long walk from Richmond park to Wimbledon village via Wimbledon common. We had booked a table for 3.15pm but made better time than we thought we would so arrived a good 25 mins early. I asked if there was any way they could seat us early, fully expecting to be turned away until our allotted time, however the staff were brilliant, found us a table, and made us feel so welcome. The pub itself is rather large with three main areas, the pub/bar is at the front as you walk in, with many places to sit and drink, and watch the rugby if it's on. Behind that is the main dining area which is fairly large, and then beyond is the outdoor covered patio. The decor felt traditional and comfortable, but clean and well kept. We sat in the dining area, and whilst the place was full (including the bar with people watching the rugby) it didn't feel too noisy, and our group could easily chat without needing to shout at each other, which was great for me as I struggle to hear in crowds. The service was fast, but we didn't feel rushed, and we didn't have to wait too long after ordering for our drinks to arrive. The menu is brilliantly varied with something for everyone, but, it being a Sunday, we were all looking forward to the roasts. Three of us shared the duo of lamb, whilst one of us had the vegan roast, and we all shared the truffle cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets (apart from the aforementioned veggie in our group). The waitress stated that the duo of lamb would be enough for a large dinner for two, however it was more than enough with three of us sharing plus some extras. We finished off with some coffee and desserts (I had the treacle tart which was amazing), and I have to say, all the food was amazing, could not fault a thing. It was also lovely to see the bar staff handing out bowls of water and treats for the pups as well. This is definitely a must visit for anyone wanting a country pub experience in the centre of town, will definitely be bringing our friends here again.

Nice London pub, good food, good service, not too expensive for London. Very dog friendly, would highly recommend if you are after a pub meal in the Wimbledon area.

Stopped by for dinner last week while staying in the area and had lovely dinner ! The atmosphere is very cute and cozy, albeit a bit too loud that it was at times difficult to hold a conversation. The food itself was hearty and very good ! Service was also great, Justina and Talia were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience all the more pleasant. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area !

One of the best pubs in the area - super atmosphere - great service - friendly staff and always great quality food. Highly recommend -

Decided to visit the Rose & Crown today for lunch and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm as soon as I walked through the door, I enjoyed a delicious Vegan artichoke salad (which was very well priced considering it’s in Wimbledon village), and all of the team were very attentive. I will definitely be visiting the pub more after today :)

Roast disappointing, potatoes to firm, parsnip undercooked Pork belly very tasty . Very slow from ordering but recognised by themselves and removed drinks bill. Which was appreciated so able to leave a tip as not the staffs fault who kept us informed.

Attentive service in a welcoming pub. Food was great, I've knocked a star off as my first choice was off the menu. Regular Youngs offerings on the ale front (but no zero % beer on tap for the drivers).

Amelia was fantastic, very attentive and welcoming, first time I have eaten here and I was not disappointed, if I lived closer this would be my regular!!

Didn't eat but a perfect space for a drink and chat

Long standing pub in the heart of the village and very likely among the best establishments you'll find What a typical country pub should be Food excellent as was the service Really like the omberance of the place . Pictures submitted are of their dining area

Just a proper pub with Sam Smith's on tap,

Decent food and beer but pricey.

Great food, attentive service, typical new pub atmosphere

Had a quick drink before heading to a nearby restaurant and the staff here were friendly, with fairly quick service . It's a nice place. Must go back as I know they do great Sunday roasts

Amazing roast beef. In a mission to find the best roast in London & this was definitely up there.

Really great pub. Had the Ox pie which was very tasty, the burgers looked awesome too. Could've stayed in there all day! Cozy with the fireplace too

Had a fabulous lunch yesterday - everything was delicious & served with care and a smile. There was a lovely buzzing atmosphere in the pub & dining room with both patrons and staff enjoying some banter Would definitely recommend for a great British pub with the added bonus of an interesting menu consisting of pub classics & seasonal specials.

Great pub with wonderful staff where nothing is too much trouble

Shocking and a first in my lifetime. Left after no food served nearly two hours from order. No communication and had to ask four times where our food was. Someone at Youngs needs to visit and fix asap. I've read the reply below and it's inaccurate. No one told us there were issues in the kitchen. It was chaotic and that's why I won't be going back.

Always have such a lovely time here! Perfect when you’re looking for cozy vibes

Have left without eating after waiting 1 hour 45 mins and still no food.

Christmas Day Lunch for our party of 5 adults and 2 children was excellent. The menu offered a good choice including for our 2vegetarian and vegan members. Service was prompt , portions were generally quite large and quality of ingedients and the cooking was very good. Good choice of wines by glass or bottlePrice was very competitive for the similar retaurants and gastropubs serving Xmas lunch. Atmosphere as you'd expect on Xmas day : quite crowded and a bit livelybut in the retaurant not too noisy, so all round our views were it was a very good choice

Amazing staff - so many of them and so lovely and attentive. Nothing too much trouble. Only thing I would say there could have been more vegetables, the meat was a little cold and the Christmas pudding was more like a dry cake. But we throughly enjoyed our visit and will be back next year with the doggie.

Gorgeous Christmas lunch and such lovely service too! Thank you!

Really great food, service and ambience. Place was really busy as it was just a few days before Christmas and the staff were calm, friendly and efficient. Food (as usual) was good and most importantly they are dog friendly

We went to Rose and Crown for the first time yesteday for a Xmas lunch with 2 babies - great food and really liked the cosiness of the pub. Only had 2 hours reservation, it was too quick!

We have eaten at R&C many times, never disappoints for a casual lunch. Dog friendly, quality food with excellent service.

An excellent evening with friends in a pub with character, superb service and good beer!

Saturday evening it was very busy but atmosphere was warm and Christmassy. Sadly the food took over 1 hour to arrive, no one came to give us an update or offer the hungry young ones a basket of bread or even an olive...we finally were served, ate in 2 minutes and left!

Nice pub for a drink but the food is average at best… the burger was basic and boring, and the beef roast was chewy and not incredibly exciting

Had a lovely lunch which everyone enjoyed

Fab lunch and great hospitality - we were a big group arranged at the last minute and the R&C sorted us out really well. Thanks so much!

Excellent rump steak. Very tender and tasty . Great chips and sides . Faultless service. Best pub meal in Wimbledon this year!

Staff were really lovely and helpful. Dog-friendly. Nice selection of beers on tap. Duncan runs a mean pub quiz on Tuesdays but make sure to book in advance!

Wimbledon da tenis maçlarından sonra insanların uğrak yerlerinden biriymiş. İngiliz bir amcanın tavsiyesiyle oturduk. Çok keyifli şirin bir yer. Lokal biralarından tattık. Wimbledon brewery ve Camden Town harika tatlar.
