Rose & Crown Restaurant in Tonbridge and Malling

Lovely traditional pub. Good music played without being intrusive. Haven't tried the food, but didn't want to give no stars.

Visited on a cycling trip, didn't go in so can't rate it more highly. My friend bought the coffees this time. , I enjoyed sitting in the garden, there was room to park the bike and rest up.

Lovely traditional pub. Didn't have food, but friendly and good ales

Located in the heart of Wrotham, the Rose&Crown pub is a standout spot. John and Karen offer impeccable service, making each visit personalised and friendly. Their Saturday pizzas are unbeatable, crafted flawlessly with delicious toppings. For locals seeking a cozy atmosphere and top-notch service, Rose&Crown is a must-visit. Highly recommended for a memorable experience in Wrotham.

To sports looking I thought I had just come out of the gym

Basic pub. Not that welcoming to new people. Regulars looking you up and down.

Six friends booked in for Fish Friday and we were not disappointed! The fish was very well cooked and presented and represented good value for the amount that we had. The beers were also good.

Had an evening walk around wrotham with the Tonbridge and Malling Ramblers and stopped here afterwards and had a great fish and chips meal. The beer was great and the hosts very friendly. Will go again.

Nice village pub. Good spread of beer including a very enjoyable session pale ale as in the photo...it comes in a 500ml glass though which is a little under a pint. Fine with me.

We have been twice to the Rose & Crown recently for meals, first for Fish & Chips on a Friday then for Sunday Roast Dinner. Both were excellent - if I had to choose then I would say that the chicken parcel on Sunday was just my favourite. Good beers and excellent service as well!

Visited The Rose & Crown yesterday for a Baby Shower party in the on site Old Barn. Nice Shepherd & Neame pub. Very well kept & clean. The Guiness was superb & the staff very helpful & friendly. The barn is a great venue for a party of up to 60 people. The real fire was great for atmosphere & taking the chill of a typical spring day. Will use again.

Nice wee pub in a lovely town and they serve Guinness so please give it a try.

Nice village pub, fairly priced good quality pint and a warm welcome, will definitely be going back.

Excellent A lovely friendly pub.

Pleasant village pub with some patio tables. It was very quiet when I called in! Good Shepherd Neame house.

Very quiet when visited on Sunday lunchtime maybe 4 people

Excellent beer. The barman knows his trade!

Very friendly pub, nice range of ales. Lost points as no longer serving food other than Friday evening. Lovely atmosphere though, clean and welcoming and so nice for a drink.

Clean pub, and friendly staff but be aware they now only serve food Friday evening

Always a friendly welcome in this village pub. Nice choice of drinks and fab food

Great fish and chips on a Friday night

First time visit and now it will not be the last. On arrival a friendly warm welcome, made to feel relaxed and comfortable. Had the Sunday Roast cooked to perfection. It was like a well oiled machine the service from start to finish was first class well done everyone. And a Big thank you

Convivial atmosphere, delicious Sunday Roast. Recommended.

Lovely friendly & smart village pub. Landlord & lady doing a great job renovating. Looking forward to spending time here regularly!

Have not been to the rose and crown in over 2 years because of covid. We visited sunday. Was so nice to see Karen and john. Such a friendly village atmosphere. Lovely warm log fire. Me and my husband had roast lamb. The lamb melted in your mouth one of the best roast dinners we have had in a long time. We was very lucky to be fitted in as it was very busy so I would advise to book. Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely prompt service. Friendly people behind the bar.

Great atmosphere Lovely staff Sunday lunch is to die for

Very friendly lovely atmosphere really nice landlady and land lord

Stopped in for a drink while on a walk. Friendly staff and lovely pub.

Very friendly traditional english pub

Friendly landlord. Very welcoming. Pleasant atmosphere and the cleanest toilets we've seen in a pub for a long time. If we lived locally we would definitely be regulars.

Really friendly service, lovely clientele. On point with Covid safety! Whether it's watching sports or taking the better half out this place has everything

Great pub really enjoyed the quiz 👍 Good covid awareness lovely pub.

Great pub with great landlord & landlady. Can't wait to return when indoor dining will be available!

My friend and I had just completed a 25 kilometre walk along the Pilgrim's Way and were meeting two friends here for birthday drinks (it was his 50th birthday...) and to watch the rugby - England v Italy. Unfortunately, being tired and in need of a drink, I forgot to put on my facemask before I walked in.... As we walked in there was was a huge, angry shout of "Maaaask!!!" from what I assume were regulars watching the rugby. I was also in the way of the television screen, so I ducked into an alcove near the bar. In the meantime, the landlord(?) had rushed round the bar to confront us. "Didn't you hear them?" he asked aggressively. I said that I had, but that I thought the way they had reacted was aggressive. He then started getting angry and raising his voice, talking about "rules" and "regulations". He came quite close to us. I then asked him to stop being aggressive. He then told us to leave and went away. I turned round and spotted our friends on the other side of the bar, which was (perhaps unsurprisingly) deserted. They were drinking a bottle of wine that they had been allowed to buy. We went over to update them of the situation. The landlady(?) then came over and, quite politely, explained that they wouldn't be serving us. She said that they had had "lots of trouble from people not doing what they were told". My friend apologise profusely (I thought) , but this was not accepted by the landlord, who stayed behind the bar. After a few moments we made to leave and passed the group of regulars. One customer said something to me as I left, but I couldn't make it out clearly. My three friends were following. As they passed, several customers said"f^ck off, you tw@ts!", "Get out!", "Go on, get out!" and one laughed: "you won't be coming back here again!" I was relieved to get out, truth be told. No doubt, the landlord might say that if I had worn a facemask upon entry, none of this would have happened. Maybe. However, for him to have created such a hostile and aggressive atmosphere is, in my view, unacceptable.

Great bear great landlord and landlady.

Lovely owners good beer nice atmosphere

Since the pub has reopened after the Covid lockdown my wife and I have been very impressed by the hygiene measures introduced by John & Karen. Only two Real Ales have been on thus far but they have been kept in excellent condition.

Fabulous fish n chips and a bonus live "fiddly diddly" band !! Great value, great company and a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Our first visit to this lovely pub with an open log fire for a Sunday roast. Great food and friendly staff, we will definitely be returning.

We were busy at home and did not have time to cook so popped over to the Rose for a Friday lunch. Being a Friday my wife went for fish but I chose to have the sausage and onion sandwich. Both were very good and reasonably priced. The beer was good as well!

Great food especially the fish n chips and Sunday roast. A warm and very friendly welcome always by the owners. Nothing is too much trouble. Great quiz night every Thursday.

Small but cosy Pub, convenient car park around the back, Good menu, they were able to accomodation a small group at short notice, I recommend the Chicken & Leek pie, it was very nice, will pop in again when visiting the area.

A fantastic little find! Our first visit and we could not have been made to feel more welcome. The food was fantastic and the drinks selection was superb. Can't wait to go back.

Nice friendly country pub. Good food good value.limited menu but well prepared

Nice pub great Sunday roast friendly staff

Great service and lovely food. Very friendly staff.

They had a lovely Barn Dance here. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lovely local public house with friendly staff

Simple food well prepared. It was the first time we had eaten there and were pleasantly surprised.

Great little local pub. Good food, drink and service!

Nice ambience. Very friendly staff. Good range of drinks...

Nice country pub with a good selection of beer. Worth a visit

Lovely warm staff serving good quality traditional British food in a quaint village pub.

Typical local pub, friendly atmosphere and very friendly staff who are helpful and happy to ensure you enjoy your time spent at the pub. Good food at reasonable prices, definitely worth a visit

We came on sunday for a family gathering . There was 13 of us and we all chose the roast . Everything was faultless from the hosts to the food . We have chosen to come here several times now due to family berievments and they have hosted our wakes and anniversaries. A real traditional pub that my father would of approved of and he was a fussy old git . So a big thankyou to you all

Nice and warm place, God to relax and have a quiet drink

We live fairly locally but had not eaten here before. We ordered 3 Sunday roasts, a fish and chips, a burger and a kids sausage and mash. The food was fabulous. Could not fault the size of the portions or the quality. The meat and gravy were delicious and the veg was beautifully cooked. The fish and chips was enormous and looked great too. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and would definitely recommend. We had to wait a bit for the food to arrive but as it was a lazy Sunday for us it didn't matter and the food was well worth the wait. It was great to see this place so busy. Definitely a testament to the food served.

Our booking was 1445 we arrived a few minutes late but not to worry the food was delayed. When it arrived my partners was lovely a good portion and she enjoyed it. Mine sadly had unwanted gravy and wasn't the rare beef I asked for. They managed to sort me out fish and chips the chips were hot and well cooked the fish batter was nice but the fish itself was a bit overcooked. To the places credit staff were lovely and really helpful (Not the man who insisted on standing blocking our view of the rugby despite it being pointed out to him that he was in the way) the gentleman behind the bar was really nice and refused to let us pay anything for my lunch. It would be very easy to write a nasty review based on my experience, but no one us perfect and they are nice people and recognised and apologised for their failings with good humour too.

Had a lovely drink here as part of our Sunday walk. We were welcomed by the pleasant landlord, and sat in the window seat taking in the glorious atmosphere. A great pub, serving a good food and drink selection. Highly recommended!

A lovely pub with a welcoming atmosphere. Excellent menu and good selection of ales and beers. Highly recommended!

Very rude owner, awful costumer service. Will not be recommending and will certainly not be returning.

The food was good but I found bones in my fish so need to be really careful when eating the butter cod. Desert wasn't that great. Service was a bit slow took ages to wait for main course to arrive and table next to us came and ordered after us got theirs first and was nearly finished by the time we got ours. Looks like they were local so they got served first. I wouldn't drive there specially but if in area and need food would consider going back.

Play backgammon with mate in nice cosy pub with great service highly recommend. Good choice of beers and food.

Friendly pub, great food. Always a pleasure to be there. John, landlord and Karen, landlady are very friendly and go out of their way to make their customers happy.

Just revamped, bit noisy at times but ok

Thanks to all concerned for an enjoyable lunch time visit yesterday. All 10 of us (plus dog) enjoyed good food and excellent hospitality from pub staff. As it is midway (almost) between relations based at Maidstone and Orpington it is likely that we will return.

Enjoyed a wonderful festive Christmas visit. There were 7 of us. Had a really lovely lunch, the pie and mash was delicious, my friends had the fish and chips, scampi and chips, omelette and salad. Everyone said their food was great! Not too expensive either. Well worth a visit. Lovely pub!

Great evening at the quiz night. Good food and atmosphere.

Just had a lovely lunch today. Food is outstanding staff nice friendly atmosphere. Sunday lunch is so Tasty. Need to book mind you by Friday.

Quite a nice lunch, simple menu, food ok

The Rose and Crown is located in a quiet high street in Wrotham. We had a lunch booking for Father's Day. It started well we arrived and parked easily in the on site car park. The pub has a nice rear patio, on entering the pub we we greeted by a friendly guy (I think he was the landlord) we had a slight issue which is that they are not current accepting Open Table Bookings so if you booked with open table call to confirm the booking yourself. However they had a table spare and offered us this table. We sat and within about 2 minutes we had menus and drinks. They have a small Sunday menu but still have something to suit everyone. The specials were all roasts. We all had a roast I had the Roast Striploin of beef it was delicious, the gravy was especially tasty (often I find the gravy feels like an afterthought, not today) The veg was well cooked and the Yorkshire pudding was perfect. The kids meals were great, fresh mash , homemade cod goujons and good quality sausages. The portions were a good healthy size, you would not have wanted any more food, especially not if you want a dessert. Sadly the only downside for me was they had run out of crumble. The coffee was great and freshly made by the landlady, my wife had the chocolate brownie which she said was delicious. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive, it was a great day. I would happy return and would recommend the Rose and Crown to anyone

The most fabulous Sunday roast, ever. I haven't seen the bill yet, but I don't care. Wherever they want is OK by me.

We had a fabulous meal here, there where ten of us meeting here, none of us had been before but we were all very pleased with our choice of a meeting place for Sunday lunch, some had the roast, there was vegetarian choices I had Chicken Caesar salad - lots of chicken and the sticky toffee pudding was gorgeous. Can’t recommend the place enough friendly help staff and Karen was a delight so so helpful.

The owners of this delightful village pub were so accommodating to our group of 10 on a busy Sunday. Every roast we chose was both generous and delicious, the most ‘home cooked’ roast I’ve ever tried outside home! The selection of puddings was equally impressive. Looking forward to a future visit to try the weekday menu.

Limited Sunday menu and lots of things off the menu

Looking for somewhere to have lunch before going to NT Ightham Mote on Thursday 19th July we were well looked after by the landlord. It was very hot so we decided to eat and drink in the lounge and commented on the lovely decor. The sandwiches were fine Tuna and ham and cheese with a little salad and lot of crisps (too many!). Enjoyed our sparkling mineral water with ice and lemon and a large cup of filter coffee. Good value.

Loved the food. Great meeting place. Great atmosphere.

Popped in just for a drink after an evening out. Quite quiet but still reasonably lively. Good value drinks. It’s the World Cup so I guess most were Home

Lovely cosy local pub with outstanding food :) always excited to eat here

You certainly wouldn’t go hungry. A good choice on the menu in cosy surroundings. Friendly service with good home cooked food.

Staying overnight in the village and popped in on the off chance that we could get a meal. We did; as a group of four with one gluten free (not just a fad, actual coeliac) we all enjoyed our meals and the gluten free meal was superb (fish, veg and mash). My cod and chips was really good as were the other two meals.

Food was lovely. One of the best meals my hubby has ever had in a pub. Casper the 13 year old dog was super nice and gentle.

We visited today with friends to sample the midweek "Seniors Lunch". The chef informed us of the choices and two chose the vegetable curry which was delicious. The other two in our party chose the bangers and mash and this was equally as good. This is the first time we have eaten here, but have been for drinks and were pleasantly surprised. Would highly recommend the food which is very reasonable priced and also included a starter or pudding.

Sunday roasts are amazing. Real rich gravy full of flavour. You could tell beef was cut to order absolutely beautiful

Fantastic pub,great couple running it. Sunday lunch was amazing

Visited for lunch, I had the cod and chips my wife had scampi both were lovely. I would highly recommend this pub for good value lovely food.

We decided to walk to a pub for lunch and didn't realise it had changed hands......really welcoming and thanks for squeezing us in the pub was packed and so many lunches. The food was lovely and the Yorkshire were huge. Going to try the curry night next

Friendly owners and small beer garden with 5 tables. Sandwich selection could be better

Good beer and a good atmosphere.

This is the first time that I have been for Sunday lunch since the (relatively) new landlords took over at the beginning of May, though my wife had been with a friend a few Sundays ago. Her main complaint then was that the meal was too large! So, John & Karen - the licensees - suggested that she had a 'young persons' portion. It was a perfect size and the beef was cooked to her liking. I had the pork belly and I can honestly say that it was the best pork belly I have ever had! The final, pleasant, surprise was that the bill was lower than expected as the beef came at a reduced price due to the smaller portion!

Stopped for a pint after a bike ride in the beer garden staff was nice beer was reasonably priced

Very clicky with the locals not very inviting for any vistors.. menu basic ... and feel if you sitting in a locals seat your doing wrong .. went the loo and a local decided to move in on my seat even had a fresh pint ready .... give a miss..

Met ons gezin (6 personen) zochten we een lunchplek tussen Loden en Dover. Heerlijk gegeten! Aardige mensen. Erg proper. Schone toiletten. Aanrader!

Absolutely amazing Sunday roast and lots of it. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Food was incredible.

We've now eaten at the Rose and Crown 3 times since the change of tenants and the food has been great every time.

Poor know acknowledgment. Barman on phone all the time.

Typical small village pub with the normal regulars propping up the bar, All very freindly & happy to chat. They do Thai food on Thursdays & Fridays which is not only amazingly cheap but very good. The restaurant area is very small & word seems to have got around about how good it is so you need to book. They do takeaways too x

The Rose & Crown has new landlords (since 1 May 2017) so this was the first chance we have had to try their lunches. The menu has changed since the previous landlords and we were all very happy with our Club sandwiches (they were actually baguettes) and the Master Brew was in top condition. Would recommend the Rose for week day pub lunches, must try the Sunday lunches soon!

Often have Fish N Chips on a Friday evening and the Rose and Crown does a superb version either to eat in or to take away. Staff keep changing but always welcoming and friendly and we have heard that Sunday Lunch is also very good. Fair selection of good Pub Grub on the menu if you don't like Fish N Chips!
