Rose Inn Baxterley in North Warwickshire

Lovely atmosphere, have been a few times and always have a good experience.

Great little country pub with fresh food

Booked Sunday dinner for 3.30 pm with my family (6 in total) to have a get together before Xmas. However, we didn't get our food order until past 5 pm. We could see they were busy so we waited patiently (and so did our 5 year old granddaughter) but it was extremely frustrating to watch people who arrived and placed their order after us be served their food and not one member of staff came over to ask if we were ok. We were initially offered drinks on our arrival but after 1.5 hours, no member of staff bothered to come to our table to ask if we wanted any more - if they had they might have realised there was a problem. I was really looking forward to this occasion but it put a complete dampener on our rare family get together. When I complained we were told there had been a technical mix up with the order being sent through to the kitchen. However, if staff had been more attentive, they might have realised sooner about the problem. My recommendation to management is for each member of staff to be allocated certain tables so they can give a dedicated service. We just felt ignored! Fortunately, the food was good but unfortunately we won't be returning. Poor service drives me insane - it's so unnecessary. If you haven't got enough staff, don't accept the reservations!

It is a country pub in a good location

One of our regular places to go for a drink and lunch, and we are never disappointed. We have been going for years, we take friends and family when they visit and they all love it. Great atmosphere, fantastic staff, good food and they serve the best Guinness in the area!

I have been a few times and found it good all round but today I was very disappointed! I was far too hot next to the radiator but when I complained I was not offered another table and told they would turn it off...sadly this didn't happen. Food was disappointing from my past experience.

Nice duckpond outside. Food and service good. Wish it was nearer!

Excellent food and service a super little neat clean pub.

Very good meal. All enjoyed it. Will go again.

Lovely food I had a falafel burger it was delicious!

Lovely pub. Service is dyer ! Staff awful. Rude and not welcoming at all. Locals no where to be seen. Pub cold and expensive

Very good recommend it to all.back again in two weeks.

Amazing sunday lunch i will be back for more

Visited here with family for Sunday lunch. It was very busy but the staff were all very friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Ordered the feast to share which came on a large platter with all three meats, all of which were cooked brilliantly and it came with all the trimmings. Cauliflower cheese was particularly delicious. Spoilt for choice with the puddings but decided on the sticky toffee pudding which was delicious and freshly made. This place never fails to disappoint. Definitely will be returning and can highly recommend.

Visited for Sunday Lunch as enjoyed eating here in the past. Food on the whole ok. Beef served without advertised Yorkshire pudding but this was rectified when asked. Service was very slow. As we had a dog we were seated in the bar. This would have been absolutely fine however it appeared we were forgotten about and had to prompt staff for desert orders. Elderly mum approached the bar to ask if we could order deserts but unfortunately she was there a while as staff were involved in a personal conversation at the time. The exterior door on the bar needs attention as closed with a loud bang every time someone entered or left the premises, therefore unable to sit and relax to enjoy meal. We do not normally write reviews but felt disappointed to witness such a decline in a once pleasant restaurant. Definitely wont be returning.

Well what an over priced poor experience, the beef looked and tasted like a cheap microwave dinner, the roast potatoes had sat for way to long under the heater to a point they were dry and hard, the veg was under cooked and the mash which we had to pay extra for way like eating stodgy sand, will not be going back when you can get better carvery at Middlemarch.

Wonderful Sunday lunch-had seen lots of positive reviews on FB, and we weren’t disappointed- the food was great-lots of fresh veg-upgraded to fillet steak and it was perfectly cooked. Staff were lovely. Will be back.

Six of us visited on a Wednesday afternoon. Delicious food, nice friendly atmosphere. Kelly went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. Looking forward to a return visit very soon.

Sad as always loved this place but we placed on a table big enough for 2 people for 4 of us in the in restaurant for Sunday lunch by the bar which meant we were constantly bashed as people were back and forth to the kitchen, so it was like sitting in a corridor as too many tables in a tight space and very noisy as too cramped. Beef was extremely tough and the vegetables should be al dente but these were basically raw. food was cold and puddings too. Very sad as this was £100.00 for four people for Sunday lunch. Wouldn't recommend going unless it's the summer and can have a drink outside only.

Very enjoyable, food delicious, friendly service, and the location was wonderful.

Lovely pup in a nice village setting, beside a pond. Had good helpful staff and enjoyed the food and drinks served

Very nice Sunday lunch would recommend

The place is in a beautiful setting with a duck pond out front, it wasn't busy when we ordered food but we still had a lengthy wait before it arrived. We had gammon egg and chips and a burger and fries. The gammon was inedible which put me off the booking I was going to make for Sunday lunch. The staff to their credit gave us a 20% discount, but that still made the bill £45, which I thought was a little pricey. Would we go again ? Maybe if we were passing and we fancied a drink.

Fantastic food in a beautiful setting. The food was so tasty and was hot. Plates were hot and great choices on the menu. Pub could probably do with new carpet and abit of tlc, but I suppose this is the older pub vibe.

Been here numerous times for lunch, so we have been keen to try breakfast… it did not disappoint! Cannot recommend Saturday brunch club enough

Lovely place, but sunday menu (or lack of) left us underwhelmed! Portion sizes left a lot to be desired and the beef was just too tough to pallet. The ducks are well worth a visit though

We decided to have our engagement meal here, as it was where we had our first date! It was the most perfect evening. We had access to the function room as soon as they opened to decorate. We were allowed to have anything we wanted (as long as it met health and safety) Zoe and her team were really friendly, relaxed with us and super professional. We had direct contact with Zoe, the manager, throughout the planning, who was so accommodating with meal choices including meat, vegetarian and allergen options. We had 29 people in our party, including 4 children, the food was incredible! Hats off to the chef/team for getting such hot and delicious food out to our table of that many with no errors! The food was endless! Our party was looked after by Charlotte and her colleague, there was nothing they wouldn’t do for us. So attentive and caring. I could not recommend this place enough! 10/10 We will continue to come back here for our anniversaries and in between! We have lots of love the The Rose Inn at Baxterly and their team! Thank you so much xx

Just been for a fantastic Sunday lunch. Best food we've had in many years. The staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. Totally recommend The Rose Inn Baxterly.

Lovely village pub close to Atherstone. Nice beer and the food was excellent. The gammon was very good along with my wife's fish cake. Certainly visit again. Plenty of families who were enjoying the ducks in the pond. Really good find 😊😊

Lovely food, friendly staff and lovely location! Great to sit outside next to the Duck Pond on nice days! Found a great little gem of a place

Excellent quality food at reasonable prices

Once again superb food great service friendly staff. Thanks all See you again soon

Great country pub great sunday dinner aswell

Fantastic food every time we have been. Good service and the singer was very good too.

Perfect venue for us today. Big thanks to the staff for looking after us so well. We will certainly come back again.

Well me and my hubby visit here now and then and the food is normally great But to be banned from their FB page for asking how much their Sunday dinner to share was is very bad customer relations ...sorry you have to ban people for asking what should be on your menu price list ..and others had asked tooand not been replied to Shame on you well be going the horse and jockey from now on 😂

Beautiful little pub and very friendly staff - food is amazing quality for the price!

Went to this lovely village pub last Saturday, brilliant music by some great bands. Will go back again soon. Cheers, Sedge n gwyn , true brits scooter club, Wolves 🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡

Beautiful country pub, with lovely food. Service was slow last weekend when we popped in for a drink and there was a large queue, but having said this it's never been a problem before and the staff have always been pleasant.

Despite booking a table there was almost no food left. Next time please call bookings to let them know there's no food. We drove very far to get to you.

Lovely quaint little pub set in a beautiful location. Food was delicious. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

The food was top notch great portion size and price was very reasonable for the quality.

Lovely lunch in a beautiful location. Staff were attentive and food lovely. Will be going again.

Having eaten today. Pork belly . and Welsh rabbit. . These were £8 each . Ok when the pork came there were four pieces each as big as a postage stamp. The Welsh rabbit or rarebit was a single piece of coated toast as big as two credit cards . Scandalous. This was without question atrocious. The food itself was great . .

Great pub in a lovely location. Easily the best pub Sunday lunch I have ever had, superb flavour and generous portions. Wish I had taken a photo but couldn't wait to tuck in. Definitely book in advance as it gets really busy at lunchtime

We visited this charming, beautiful pub after seeing it on Google maps 😀 On approaching, we could see the pond and the ducks, and we were in awe. Seating outside next to the pond was lovely. We visited on a Tuesday and so should have had a discount on our food and despite reminding the cashier at the till we wasn't given it... £65 for two mains and a couple of drinks each. It wouldn't have been so bad, but the food, although cooked to perfection (compliments to the chef), the portion sizes were so small! Crispy potatoes on my plate were literally smaller than French fry crisps. Wouldn't go back for food but would visit again for a pint next to the pond.

A beautiful location adjoining a large pond in the village centre. The team there were both cheerful and helpful. A group of us enjoyed a pint and then an excellent dinner. As they also served breakfast, we went back the next morning for a proper fry up!

The pork was cooked nicely and it was tasty but the vegetables were almost raw . the dessert was tasty but the ice cream was the size of a golf ball and the chocolate brownie was barely an inch wide, not very good for £7.50.

A lovely, good value Sunday lunch. Service was quick and food was nice and hot. A little noisy but that maybe because quite a lot of family's with young children were dining. I would definitely return. Well done! 😊 xx

Not a good experience I'm afraid, such a lovely place but under staffed on the day i went, food was poor quality (very salty pie's). Sticky tables and floor, When other staff turned up they spent more time flirting with each other in front of the customers rather than looking after them. I remember when the chefs were heard and not seen- they should stick to cooking not flirting. Perhaps better food could be made. Wont go again.

Nice location for eating Al fresco if the weather allows it! Beats most Sunday lunches locally, would recommend the pork.

Gorgeous old pub. Have driven past a few times, but went one afternoon at last for some lunch. Food was amazing (I had the Laksa with chicken, followed by the brownie). Weather was beautiful so we sat outside with all the ducks! (They kept my little 4yr old boy entertained for our entire stay!) The only (small) negative is the benches are very worn and could do with being replaced (but there are so many, I appreciate what it would cost to do that!) Will definitely be going back!

We went for dinner last night. Rang up to ask if they take walk ins we were offered to book for 8pm. The staff were so friendly and gave recommendations on the food. Having this lovely pub on our doorstep is fantastic. I will be recommending The Rose Inn to friends and family. We will be returning very soon

This was our first visit and the food was stunning amazing best food I've tasted in a very long time best food ever tasted in a restaurant will definitely be going back next time we travel here thank you so much the staff very friendly and welcoming

Went on a busy Saturday night and when we were seated we were informed that there was rump steak left which was no problem. What was a problem was that the deficiencies didn’t end there - the portion sizes which were sent out were minuscule compared to what we’ve had previously here. There was obviously a shortage of ingredients and instead of stating that and taking more things off the menu the chef decided to send out half of what what usual for the same price to stretch it out. Dishonest and wrong. Shall not be returning.

Great local pub, the food is always spot on and isnt too expensive

We have been to the Rose a number of times for lunch and the standard of the food and service is consistently high. Yesterday was no exception. The steak and ale pie was one of the best I have had. Elena is amazing- she appeared to be on her own this time getting drinks, taking the orders, serving the food and clearing away all with a smile and a lovely friendly approach. She is so attentive to all and is a real asset to the Rose as are the great chefs.

First time at this lovely little pub -had fabulous service and the food was delicious-hubby had the last piece of nut roast which was a bit on the small side but complimented with deliciously cooked fresh veg and a whopper of a homemade Yorkshire pudding❤️ I had a gorgeous butternut squash curry which would have been nice to have had a naan bread to mop up the delicious sauce I then had the best hot chocolate brownie ever with ice cream We would go again as it was in such a pretty,peaceful spot and because the service was excellent-quick and served with a smile 😊

Lovely setting food OK had fish and chips pub nice service so so.

We had a very good Sunday lunch (vegetarian, which isn't easy to find). Helpful friendly staff and very efficient service.

We were a party of 12, seated in a lovely area of the restaurant, the staff were friendly, and all meals were great! Cooked well, served beautifully, and tasted lovely. Good selection of drinks, hazy pale was lovely. Definitely returning, couldn't fault the place.

A few of us stopped in for a late Sunday Lunch, and we weren't disappointed. Lovely meal, friendly service, decent atmosphere. We ate in the bar, not the restaurant and it was fine! Plenty of parking. Lovely setting by the lake. Will be visiting again!

Very poor been coming hear for years yesterday the food was cold didn’t get a steak knife however a chainsaw would have been more useful, the knifes and Faulks were very dirty, very poor limited menu, and to top it of today we all have bad belly’s Beware

Bank holiday Monday meal with me old folks … lovely food and good service … will be back

Amazing scenic location, great staff and crackin' food full of love. Well worth a visit ❤️

Popped in for breakfast club this morning with the dog pub was lovely and warm and menu had a really good choice of breakfasts all reasonably priced. I had eggs Benedict, eggs were perfectly poached hollandaise was a good consistency and the ham was thick cut with plenty of it! Boyfriend had the large full English option which was a great sized portion with plenty of squares and bacon. Meat tasted like butchers meat and not cheap with good quality sausages and fried bread. We were served by Eleanor who was wonderful and told us about the rest of the menus the pub does. It’s also very dog friendly with a selection of dog treats available. The pub is also located in a stunning setting, a gorgeous duck pond located outside and walks from the doorstep we ended up popping back for a pint after our walk.

Have just come back from a lunch with a friend. The food was amazing and the could not have been more helpful. My first visit, but it definitely will not be my last.

Lovely breakfast we had the full English, eggs Benedict and pancakes and they were delicious. Excellent service we'll definitely return.

Prawn and smoked salmon starter had the tiniest piece of smoked salmon on it, it was pointless. One piece of bread. I thought it poor for the price. The Sunday main was poor too. Three small pieces of turkey, three roast potatoes and some carrots and broccoli. Yorkie pudd were 1.50 extra and cauli cheese, mash and stuffing 10.00 extra, I’m not a big eater but the mash wasn’t even enough for one and surely turkey should come with stuffing? feel conned to pay extra for a Yorkshire pudding as you are asked if you want one but not that it costs extra. Staff were lovely but we won’t be back

What an Amazing Sunday lunch, came here with my partner I have to be honest I used to run pubs and have worked in the kitchens especially on a Sunday This has got to be the best Sunday dinner I’ve had around Tamworth since I moved down here I had the Beef he had the lamb Both fantastic & how they should be cooked (melted in your mouth) Gravy so tasty And the Yorkshires …. As a Yorkshire lass they didn’t disappoint Will definitely be back here !!!

Wonderful breakfast - beautifully cooked and presented. An absolute gem with wonderful service! Would highly recommend

Very pretty and friendly place to soak away the time with good food and a great selection of drinks inside and outside well recommended

We have been to The Rose Inn a number of times for Sunday lunch which has always been fantastic and so decided to pop in on a Saturday for their normal menu. We had the Big Boy Burger and Trio of Pork for mains. The food was excellent and the service fantastic as always. Really worth a visit.

Going to this place with a wheelchair so bad very limited disabled access and a broken step as you go in with a high step

Visited last night, family of 8. Food was delicious , all 8 of us enjoyed it. Crème Brûlée, best I’ve ever tasted. Great service too. The young waiter was very good, he kept checking we had everything we needed & couldn’t fault it.

Outstanding breakfast. Top quality food and excellent service. The smashed avocados with poached eggs, as pictured. My husband was too keen to tuck into his Mega Full English Breakfast so couldn't get a photo. All was so delicious.

Somewhat disappointed! Been for breakfast this morning with my wife, and whilst the quality, taste and presentation were acceptable, the food was served only just warm (beans even less so, bordeeed on cold) and all served on a cold plate (which I can never get my head around). Unlikey to return in the near future.

Great Saturday breakfast, orange or apple juice as a welcome drink a great touch.

We hosted my father's wake in the function room at The Rose Inn in January 2024. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, both in the prepration for the event and on the day itself. The Roast Pork buffet was delicious and, since we had over-catered slightly, we took leftovers home to enjoy!

Fantastic evening tonight there was a lot of us, the food was nice, I'm a fussy one who likes ice-cream thank you so much to Grace who was fantastic & got this for me thanks to the chef too for making it for me 😊 thanks all x

We visited The Rose for the first time on Sunday and were not disappointed! We were greeted straight away by the friendly staff and shown to our table. Our waitress Maisie was lovely and couldn’t have done more for us. We both had a Sunday roast and my daughter had a children’s meal. All the meals were huge and delicious! We will 100% be returning and highly recommending to our family and friends.

Came for Saturday morning breakfast. Lovely food and great service. Very nice. Fire on in the bar. Very cosy and warm. Thanks Elena for looking after us.

Food was so lovely and staff were great such a lovely evening we had for Valentines with our 4 year old.

Went here for a valentines meal tonight. Had the Camembert and chateaubriand and both were lovely. Excellent value for money for a quality meal! Service was really efficient and the staff were friendly as always. Was a real pleasure. Thank you to the Rose Inn team!

Car park needs attention re pot holes Otherwise a lovely visit

Nice pub,excellent service good food.They need to turn the heating up as it was chilly where our table for 7 was situated.Drive way up to pub car park very pot holey needs re surfacing.We will be back

Shocking service and pretty poor food for the money. Arrived at the pub kinda shown table what I mean is the waitress walked ahead of placed two children menus on the table and walked off so we presumed we were sitting there. Food order was taken in good time though 35-40 minute wait for food to arrive sadly when food did arrived it wasn’t as expected. My chips and the wife’s wasn’t warm and wife’s thick cut chips where still raw in the middle. The steaks 1 medium rare 1 medium well where both the same they where also of poor cut very gristly and hard to chew. Onion rings where stone cold any other time we would have complained but it was a family affair being a 70 and 80th birthday meal sadly if we complained most if not all food would have gone back. £18 for chips and a burger sorry but iv had better from local takeout the prices and food quality are so far apart we wouldn’t recommend here none will we be going back sorry.

Went yesterday for the first time. The waitress was very abrupt and rude. We wanted to sit on a table for 4 despite there being only 2 of us. But she insisted we say on a table for 2 as she would have to move us. She didn't ask nicely either. So we did. All the time we were there NO one came in and we were all alone so we could have had the table for 4. The coffee was cold but as I didn't want to tell the waitress I drank it. It was obvious she didn't like us. One thing I will say the food we had was beautiful and probably the best I have had in a long time. We were asked if we wanted a desert. But declined as the smell in the room was dire. It was like Shake and Vac smell and very over powering. Would I go back...... Possibly in the summer but this experience put me off. I did message the pub about all this but as yet no reply

Me and my partner went for breakfast this morning, we booked it about 30 mins before we went. Such a lovely location with the duck pond outside too. My partner had the full English and I had the eggs benedict, we both thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts. Staff were lovely, attentive and quick service. Defo recommend 👍🏻

Food was fresh and well cooked but over priced and there was no atmosphere thought it a shame as outside looks very inviting. The part of restaurant we were in was dim and very cold so much so that 2 People had legs covered with coats and 1 didn't even take coat off. Sorry but will not be returning. Not much choice for Vegetarians.

Amazing Sunday lunch, just like a properly cooked Sunday lunch at home , without all the work. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed it and can’t wait to return

Was here for Sunday lunch in October part of a group of 8 and it was fantastic. Latest visit just the 3 of us. The Sunday lunch was nowhere near the quality of our last visit. It was barely warm. The trio of sides (mash, stuffing, cauliflower cheese) had clearly been cooked hours and didn’t look or taste fresh. The roast meats were chewy and the pork in particular was largely grizzle. The beef wasn’t much better and we left the outsides of the slices. The roast potatoes were overdosed with pepper. The rest of the veg was fine. Drinks fine. Staff fine. What you get would be fine priced at £12 but not at £16. 3 main courses and 3 soft drinks was the best part of £70. Too much for what you get.

Beautiful setting and looks lovely from outside but was disappointed with interior. Good was good and freshly cooked but we all thought that it was overpriced. The part of restaurant that we were sat in was quite cold one person sat with her cost on the whole time.

Had an absolutely lovely evening meal, the food, the service, everything was perfect, we will definitely be back 😊

Gold service and a gold welcome from this lovely pub. Well worth a visit. Very welcoming to families. We will be returning soon!

Last Sunday Lunch of 2023! Excellent 👌🏻 Food is always high quality, cooked to perfection, excellent service from Joe today - such a welcoming, traditional pub, just not enough stars for this little gem. Thank you for 2023, see you in 2024!

Food was good but service let it down slightly.

Went as a family of 4 adults and 2 young children for the Rose's Xmas celebration dinner. 5 courses and a complimentary glass of bubbly and soft drink for the kids. Every course was hot, tasty and plentiful with no expense spared. The management and staff made us all feel welcome from the off and nothing was too much trouble for them. They were friendly, polite and very professional on what was a very busy restaurant. No rushing through the 5 courses and no pressure to finish. The main was Xmas dinner with all the trimmings and as much veg as you could eat A nice touch was the cheese board to finish The atmosphere was good with a good mixed crowd. We sometimes forget that the staff have sacrificed their own Xmas day to make ours special and special, was what we all felt The staff were all a credit to the Rose Inn and we look forward to doing it all again in 2024. Well done team Rose Inn

2nd visit to the Rose was on Xmas day, and what a fantastic feast this place put on. The staff worked extremely hard and continued to be polite and friendly throughout, which must have been a difficult day for all the Xmas day working staff. 5-Course meal complimented with a glass of bubbly and soft drinks for the grandchildren. All courses were exceptionally plentiful, and all came piping hot. Although the restaurant was full, there was no panicking from the staff, and they managed to stay professional and polite throughout. Well done, team Rose Inn, we will certainly look to book for Xmas 2024 Excellent service and even better food. Sunday lunch was plentiful and full of meat. Definitely return to this fantastic pub restaurant 👌

Could not rate this highly enough. Went for Sunday roast and it did not disappoint. Food was lovely and the staff were so helpful and friendly.
