Rose & Crown in Nottingham

I recently helped organise two charity events and I asked the Rose & Crown to help with the buffet for both events and they happily agreed. The food at both events was exceptional, great variety and plenty to go round. The service provided was brilliant as well and they made everything straightforward and provided a great experience.

Been here a number of times over the past few months. Fair to say the pub is definitely a student hot spot due to location, this doesn’t affect the cleanliness, service or food in my opinion. The question for the bar can be very long winded- however you have the option to remain at the table and order via the app. When we have eaten here the food has always been delicious. There is ample outside seating and parking- you need to register your vehicle registration when you enter so as not to get a ticket. Most recently we were served by Prince who was super accommodating and polite. The food was presented nicely, was piping hot and cooked as we had requested (wings well done.) Always seems to be a different event going on, were it sports being shown on the many tvs inside, bingo or pub quiz. Very well managed. If you have a larger party or special date definitely recommend booking a table to ensure you’re seated.

Went here on a Friday night so was expecting it to be busy and loud. We did have to wait for about 5 mins to be seated but that was to be expected and was warned that the food would be around 30-40 minutes, once again we don’t see this as an issue considering how busy it was. We had our drinks within 10 minutes and food within 20. Food was excellent my wife had Mac and Cheese and I went for the Steak and Ale Pie, both were really filling and tasty. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Busy day on football match day. It is a good place to go for the booze and watch some sports on TV but no ideal for family. Food is not that good. Probably it was frozen food.

Although the pub seemed nice and clean, and the wait staff was very friendly, the music was intrusive and loud. The food was okay, but not great. (I had fish and chips, good chips, but the fish was chewy and not very flavorful. The lasagna tasted mass produced and didn't have much seasoning)

Such a lovely place! Visited a couple of times now, can't fault it.

Went for a baby shower. We were in the function room above the pub. No heating on e entry. Tvs on that distracted away from the afternoons proceedings. The food we ordered was left with another table who only brought it to our attention when there's then arrived. Needless to say, some of ours had been manhandled with no apology for the mistake.

Lucy, Lisa & Jennifer were great servers Food was lovely

Edited this review as I booked a table for 5 to be sat bar side, the menu has changed, and the portions wouldn't fill kids never mind adults last time I visit this place unfortunately.

Go here a lot to be honest but ordered the sirloin today which is on offer mon-weds I think and it was cooked perfect told them that and prince (chef for the day) came out to have a quick chat and thank us for the kind words , really good pub with great stuff from top to bottom thanks again prince for my steak today

Always come here for birthdays in the function room. Never disappoints.

Been a few times over the year. They've finally sorted their parking out. Large space inside and out. Great place to go unwind after visiting QMC.

Great for sports fans (sky / tnt), friendly staff and good atmosphere 👍

Really enjoyed my evening here. Didn't eat so can't comment but easy to get served and good cleaning tables were very clean. Will definitely go back

Friendly staff, plenty to choose from on the menu

Absolutely loved it here today❤️. I went with my daughter had a lovely meal😋 and one or two raspberry gins😁. The best mix grill, chicken and rib meals I've seen and had for a long time. Very tasty cooked to perfection and tasted gorgeous 😋and plenty of it to lol.The place is nicely decorated, warm and friendly staff(especially the lady with tattoos) Mel I think and also Ben I hope I got your name right lol. Love the outside area, front and back with plenty of seating. I think I've found a pub I be going more to😊

The blond barman with glasses was super rude and racist and kick out my friend

I recently enjoyed a delightful full vegetarian breakfast at this charming pub. The presentation was visually stunning, showcasing a vibrant array of flavors that made each bite a treat. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out, contributing to a clean and satisfying experience. I also appreciated the soothing morning music that created a warm and inviting ambiance. A special thanks to Hayden for providing exceptional service throughout my visit!

A nice English pub with good burgers and fries, ok beer too.

Excellent pub with amazing food & great atmosphere. The millionaire burger was incredible! Far better than anywhere else. Great service and well priced. What more do you want?

Just called in on journey home and so glad we did,the food was excellent.

Johnny Rosco served me he was sound. Other Australian bloke was quick too

Would love to thank the Rose and Crown for hiring all this amazing staff. Dinner with a view and service was wonderful 😍

Brighten up your weekend by visiting this pub! Nice food and if you come when the quiz is on, you are guaranteed a fantastic evening!😍

Food was very nice 😀 it's been refurbished looks very nice

Fantastic value and tasty food, staff were ace. Great place to eat especially if you're visiting the local hospital and need a break.

Great food 2 days on the run, brilliant staff. Excellent value for money!

We were served by a young lady named Rinu. she was so amazing and so friendly she’s like a ninja running around and has amazing customer service!

Best experienced from the beer garden. A little worn out inside

Drink service was very slow and had to go to bar to remind them about my drink after ten minutes of waiting! But food was delicious 😋 I had a mix grill they had ran out of chicken but gave me an extra sausage instead which I preferred to chicken anyway! Staff was polite Indoor and outdoor very clean and specious We will be returning x

Lovely evening here having dinner with my husband and 2 young children. Service was absolutely brilliant, bringing a 1 and 3 year old out to dinner isn’t always easy but a special shout out to Shell who was straight over checking in, gave the kids crayons, was super attentive and just gave all round fantastic service!!! Will definitely be back and highly recommend :)

We attended a relatives 60th birthday party upstairs and had a wonderful evening, with a lovely buffet. Unfortunately today, a fine of £100 for the car park, came through the door. We didn't notice any signs on the night, and can't see anything on website, but something you should be aware of if staying any length of time. Makes an expensive evening out

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and seating both indoors and outdoors. Good prices and surprisingly decent food for a pub.

I left a 5 star review because we had my daughters 50th birthday party upstairs on 13th July and the buffet was amazing, staff were very good so the whole evening was perfect thank you very much.

Excellent service and great food

Very nice atmosphere. Delicious food served by the great Michelle.Thank you chefs too.Recommendable to everyone...

Great event marvellous music great company

The Rose and Crown deserves a 5 star rating in all categories! Every time I visit with friends the atmosphere is great .. very friendly and lively…they often have live entertainment on… and the staff are great… can’t do enough for you … and the food is good too… I’d recommend a visit to anyone…great local pub.

We attended a birthday party upstairs and had a great time. Buffet was plentiful and good quality. Bar staff very friendly and polite. Will certainly go again

Quick serving, and really succulent burger patties.

Food was amazing and Shell when above and beyond, definitely coming back

Visited today for food and drinks and wanted to make a special shout out to Shell who always goes the extra mile to make sure everything is always spot on. Always friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and red hot sizzling just how it should be. Really enjoyed our visit. See you again soon and keep up the excellent work x

Good ambience and very prompt service. Will come again!

Had a fantastic time at the Rose and Crown in Nottingham! The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Special shoutout to Steph for her friendly and attentive service - she really made our visit memorable. Highly recommend this pub!

Great experience and the food was lovely!

Great ambiance and good vibes. Special shoutout to Steph for her friendly and attentive service - she really made our visit memorable. Highly recommend this pub!

Had a problem with food but was sorted straight away staff and management couldn't apologise enough would come back agin

Big shout out to Shell & Hayden - brilliant friendly pub - make sure you come hungry because the the meals are bloody massive - awesome welcoming atmosphere, can't recommend enough 👌

Shell Tracey and Angela are amazing they smashed the floor tonight England are in the final!!!! Can’t wait to come back Sunday

The staff are amazing there was one that made my visit special here name was Shelly she is a credit to pub made sure my food was ok and made me feel so welcome she’s the best. It’s been the best service I’ve ever experienced.

Came here totally unexpected as only just arrived in Lenton for the weekend. What a wonderful welcome we received & shown to a table perfect for us. Every member of staff was fantastic - couldn’t do enough for us. Always attentive to our needs, if we may have any. The Meat Feast Sharer was a real treat, very tasty, cooked perfectly, & so filling. Well done team. We’ll organised.

Came here after a family funeral. Staff are very friendly and the food is great. There’s entertainment ( bingo and sticky 13 ) Great atmosphere all round, will definitely come again.

We ate here after work a few weeks ago, and to be honest, I was underwhelmed... the food was overpriced and not great. I had the mixed grill platter, and my partner had a chicken burger. My mixed grill was overcooked and very dry, and the chips weren't great either... my partner said the chicken was dry also and was glad of the sauce on the burger... I know it's a pub and I only expected pub food but at the price I expected it to be nice... and honestly, it wasn't... maybe it was a bad day in the kitchen.

Bin there to watch the england game a staff member called shel boy was around the floor like sonic amazing service overall

Shell, Tracey and Angela was absolutely amazing on the bar side today. Everything we requested as a four on a reserved table we got, their table service and customer service skills was outstanding. Me and my partner and friends are 100% coming back Wednesday for Englands next game and I have recommended to friends and family. Worth a visit!

Food Amazing as usual! Watched the England match there today! Shellboy smashed the floor, non stop running! Lovely atmosphere here! Will always recommend!! 🙌🙌🙌

Just had another really good meal. As always excellent service, good food, friendly staff. We don't live in the area but always visit when we can as we always get a warm welcome from all the staff, and know we are guaranteed a good meal.Well worth the visit. Kristy was absolutely amazing ensuring everything was as it should be and her friendly customer approach was a pleasure to see.

Busy due to football (as expected) but staff still very attentive, Michelle was very helpful and stopped to chat to the kids which they liked. Food really nice, again quite a wait due to football busyness but really good meals all round.

Unreal place. Great atmosphere. Best bartenders in Nottingham

Popped into this lovely pub for the first time whilst at the QMC. We took a short walk from the ward to find somewhere that served breakfast. Upon arrival one of the Managers greeted us at the door and gave us a warm welcome. We chose a table and ordered at the bar with another very pleasant member of staff who made sure we had all we needed. The food came out quickly and the team were all very attentive and kept checking in to make sure everything was ok. I wanted to leave the staff a tip but was unable to do so by card, the Manager explained that a kind word of thanks meant more than the money. A big thank you to all the team who were on shift Thursday morning 20th June. To receive this hospitality during a worry-some hospital visit was very reassuring.

Brilliant service and really accommodated my children. The chef Prince came and personally checked if any of the family had allergies. Lovely young man and made our service that extra bit special. Thank you

Students pub, staff were friendly, food was really good . Beers were more city centre prices quite expensive we felt.

Good pub food, great choose from the menu and nice atmosphere.

A nice place to go for a drink and food with family and friends that will not break the bank.

Nasty and abusive shift manager (lady with long brown/red dyed hair and wearing all-black) who ruined our evening entirely. I came here with my elderly parents to have dinner. First, they got our simple food order of 3 dishes wrong, leaving us waiting about an hour for the third dish, with the serving staff recurrently giving us false promises that it was on its way. It never came. When finally my mother went to the bar to speak to the member of staff directly with whom we had placed the order, verifying whether the issue is truly being sorted or not, he realised that he had made an error. He said it would be resolved soon and so my mother came back to the table. A lady who described herself as the “manager” then came to our table. She started her speech promisingly, saying that we’d get a full refund of our food. However, this was nothing but a fake 2-second “apology” that preluded what was coming next- a barrage of abuse hurled at my 70-year old mother, berating her for having brought up the issue with her staff in the first place. Clearly a narcissistic character who couldn’t handle that a mistake had been made under her watch. Mischaracterising my mother as “shouting” at her when this was ludicrous - I witnessed everything, my mother was speaking in her normal polite and softspoken tone. This lady was trying to take advantage of a well-mannered elderly woman, interrupting her mid sentence simply for not being able to accept that a mistake had been made under her watch. She only quietened down when I got involved myself- me being a sterner speaker than my mother, I put her to shame for the way she was treating my mother. My 80-year old disabled father was naturally having an unpleasant experience too throughout all this; the manager was virtually leaning over him when she was shouting at my mother at the table. We are old customers of the Rose and Crown and drove all the way from London for an evening here. My parents are both hardworking doctors for the NHS who have given their services for 45+ years. I cannot believe that a person such as this abuser has been employed as a shift manager at such a renowned venue. A senseless, completely unprovoked attack inflicted on a softspoken elderly woman when we were already put at such a disadvantage by the staff for not receiving what we had paid for, going hungry for an hour only to then receive this! Please watch out for this lady- medium build, wears all black as the shift manager, long dark red-dyed/ brown hair that was tied back. We visited on a Thursday night so you might see her then. Absolutely no way in hell that she should be involved in customer service, let alone be responsible for it in this way as a shift manager!! After many happy memories at this place, it is needless to say that this experience that we had last night means we will not be going back under any circumstances. The end of an era thanks to an awful attitude.

The steak was deliciously tasty and the staff were very pleasant. I love the reggae music that was playing in the background. I highly recommend a visit to Rose & Crown on your visit to Nottingham.

Another great meal and great atmosphere. Thanks kirsty for your help in making my sons birthday xxx

Thank you Rose and Crown we eat here at least twice a week and attend as many events as possible. Food is hot and tasty, very reasonable prices. Staff are first rate. Beautifully refurbished this is mine and my family’s favourite place to be now. Food is excellent, I love the staff who all treat us like family, it is the most welcoming place in Nottingham.

Great place! Love it every time we come here whether it’s to watch the football or to have food it’s always amazing, special shout out to Shelle and Brady always make us feel so welcome!

Very busy place, reasonably priced food, food good

Great place for food and drinks. Kirsty the manager is absolutely great. Shell is great,always welcomes with a smile Always feel welcome when coming here Definitely recommend.

Really nice beer garden, very good food for the money and a good student discount.

Yet another excellent meal thank to dave and prince todays chefs could not fault our meal thank you guys 😊 staff was friendly too

We went for a meal on the sunday before bank holiday. Unsurprisingly they were busy and with very few staff seemingly, those working were swept off of their feet and you couldn’t help but feel bad. However, when ordering via the green king app we were able to see what time we had ordered. The sign said a 40 min wait for food however we waited well over an hour and a half. This was not an issue as we understood it was busy. However, when our food was brought out it was given to the wrong table. We watched this happen, the waiter then returned to realise they had given the table the wrong food. They then brought the half eaten plate over to us and stated that the other table had only eaten a few pieces. This is entire unacceptable. This is made worse by the fact we had ordered a drink two hours earlier, and asked two separate members of its whereabouts. We were told it was coming and that they were busy, but this never came. we understood that it was busy and the wait was not the most important issue, but it was entirely a mess.

Prince is a star!! ⭐️ came in for food and felt so welcome, the food was amazing and felt really looked after by all staff working, everyone was very friendly and was asked on multiple occasions if we needed anything. Couldn’t have been better, will definelty be back!!

Beautiful breakfast today, staff was amazing, customer service was brilliant, Shell looked after us very well. Really nice atmosphere.

Shelly made our day, we had great service and we always have a laugh, we had some delicious wings made by chef Prince, some of the best! Thanks guys for making our visit exta special 😁🙏🏽♥️

Went here with work as a group and pre-booked. They still mixed our tables and everything up. Didn't get the free onion rings either...

Alex was a lovely server!! Food was smashing, thanks to Chris and Steph!! Deffo recommend

Great team, atmosphere and food is amazing. Recommend for family or just a quiet sit down by yourself.

Had an amazing meal at rose and crown Thankyou to server Shelley, thankyou for the experience

Got served by Shell🩷best service i have ever had and lovely food!!! will defo come back for more🥰🥰

Super service and good pub grub. Shell and Tracey made sure we had everything. When my steak came it was an unlucky cut with gristle so they immediately made me a fresh meal with a free pudding thrown in! Perfect and friendly customer service.

Everytime I come here I am greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. Service is fast and the food is bang on. Very good for when the football is on and the beer garden area is very nice. Overall, I recommend to everyone. Family and dog friendly. I would like to give a special mention to Michelle who always goes above and beyond.

Visited Nottingham this weekend and visited this nice pub! Very friendly atmosphere and was made very welcome. Especially from the bar staff Alex and Kelly they are a credit to you! Thanks for having me! Blaine

Would like to say a big thank you shell and Tracey for sorting us out today, shell came over to make sure our daughter ordered the right meal as she has allergy xx

Thank uou

Fantastic service as always and husband says Kelly makes THE BEST cappuccinos! FACT Best pub in Nottingham by a country mile

Service outstanting .. Had a problem with a steak but was rectified with no issues ... Pub food was as exspected, adiquet . parking easy and well located for the Hospital " reason for being in area" no problem with mobility scooter ... would go again...

The Really good pub, meals are well worth it.... Drinks can be pricey though.... Came here on Saturday 6th April 2024 - for some 70th birthday drinks for my friends birthday.... This is a really good "Student Pub", I think they do a discount on food... But, the food is really good in here..... There is also a massive TV screen for watching "sports" at the bar. It's always been a popular pub....👍👍. Staff are very efficient, and kind here....

Student pub - cheap beer, very busy

Poor bar service Not enough staff on a busy night

Always come here when visiting our daughter who is in uni. Yesterday had the best roast dinner I've had in a long time. The beef was like a piece of steak, the roasts were spot on and the gravy nice and thick. Will be back and will make sure it's a Sunday so I can have the roast again.

Great service by Sharon and her team

Definitely five stars great service and great food

Perfectly cooked steak served by the efficient & polite Shel, Kelly and Maria. I will return !

Decent food and very good service.
