The Rose and Crown in Monmouthshire

Stayed in Tintern for our little post anniversary getaway and walked past this a few times, so thought we’d try it for our evening meal. Great portion sizes, proper tasty pub food and lovely ambience. Service was impeccable and the staff were really, really friendly. Shame it’s not open again before we go home.

Sunday lunch. Portions were vast. Even the child's portions were too much for 3 elderly adults. The food was okay. The roast meat was freshly carved and well cooked. There were a good variety of vegetables. The issue was that it was served with everything on the plate when it came to the table. Our group of 4 all felt that the gravy should have been served separately. The plates were swamped with thick gravy. We felt that if the veg and gravy had been served so that we could have helped ourselves we'd have enjoyed our meal more. The deserts were great! We wouldn't rush back for Sunday lunch.

We stayed in the beautiful village of Tintern. There are 5 places to eat here. I am allergic to garlic and rang ahead to find out about the menu. The people on the phone were really helpful and couldn’t be any more receptive. This is a typical village pub with a small menu serving pub classics, but what they do serve is of great quality. They also have a specials board with about 6 dishes on. It only opens Thursday to Sunday which is a shame as we would’ve eaten there on more nights. We ate there twice in the week. It is perfectly located and has outside seating over looking the River Wye. The rib eye steak was amazing. Super tasty and perfectly cooked (medium rare). It was the best steak I’ve tasted. My husband enjoyed the wild boar burger and my girls enjoyed the steak pie and the burger. The desserts were huge. My husband enjoyed the beers on hand pull and the service was super. It’s a shame it’s not our local pub.

Delicious pub grub! We went for a meal with friends, the staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. There was a good choice of specials and the food was excellent, hot and great tasting. The puddings were all fantastic. We will definitely be visiting again and would recommend this traditional village pub.

Highly reccomended, Delicious meal, good quality food cooked to perfection and plenty of it, very pleasant and friendly staff, was also happy to do a take out pudding, will definately return

My fiancee and I were staying in Tintern overnight and settled on the Rose and Crown for dinner. Its not often I visit somewhere that gets every element of service absolutely right but here you had everything you wanted from a pub and more. From the start, we were immaculately looked after by two young ladies whose service was impeccable. The food was plentiful, tasty and hit the spot. The pub itself was a traditional country village inn set on the bank of the River Wye looking over at England on the opposite side. The bill for such a hearty meal including drinks came to £60 so also good value. I also enjoyed listening to the excellent banter between the landlord, his staff and the locals. Never rude or distasteful...just hilarious. I wholeheartedly recommend the R&C for anyone passing through or staying in Tintern. Its a big yes from me.

We came here for Sunday lunch and would highly recommend you do it too. We were offered a choice of meats and couldn't decide so they gave us all of them with an array of vegetables and potatoes. It was without doubt the best roast dinner I have had out and I have had a few. Also come here for just a drink particularly in the late evening where you will see if your alert,all sorts of wildlife as you enjoy one of the well kept ales sat by the river.Enjoy. Shame it was shut a few days in the early week but if we don't support our boozers they will all close.

We’ve been coming here for years, Sally does the best steaks imaginable, & my husband raves about the steak pie! It’s a proper friendly pub, local ales, dog friendly, highly recommended!

Following research of the menu and prices on line, we booked the Rose and Crown for a family lunch. We were seated in the games room which was fine, it is a very old building which was cold inside on a beautiful sunny day. Service was good, as was the food which was tasty and plentiful. Our only complaint was that the prices on the day were far greater than those displayed on line, which was one of the reasons for choosing the Rose and Crown.

This pub had excellent reviews, I wasn't convinced by first impressions, but I thought I should give it a go. The service was very good, could not fault that, but at times, I did feel very conscious that I wasn't a local. The food was tasty, but nothing special. There was a terrible choice of wine and what they did have was cheap and not overly drinkable, however they do offer nice local ales. Overall it was fine, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to return.

What can you say lovely home cooked food, well kept local ales and service you can not fault. So good we returned the next day.

Absolutely Tremendous Mother's Day lunch today with the family!! Believe me you will not leave here hungry!! Staff incredibly polite and helpful, food truly EXCEPTIONAL, (a choice of beef, lamb, pork, or turkey) Afters were GLORIOUS (can recommend the raspberry pavlova and hot chocolate fudge cake) Proper home cooked food. Five stars every day of the week!!

Good real ales and wine. Lovely lunch. Friendly bar staff. Perfect lunchtime stop for ramblers and walkers.

A very good quality steak night. Food perfectly prepared and served. Traditional pub food backed up with great ales and smiley waiting staff. Worth giving a go!

Just had a gorgeous meal at this traditional pub. Great value and the quality of the food was excellent and generous. Our steaks were perfectly cooked, so tender and tasty. The landlord and serving staff are friendly and have got their customer service just right. Will definitely be making a return visit before the end of of short holiday. Well behaved dogs also made welcome.

We went to an event at the David Broome Event Centre to see our Granddaughter compete there. We stayed in Tintern and the guest house was a five minute walk fro where we stayed. We had a Rump Steak each and to be honest it...

A wonderful welcome with fine beers and food.The fillet steak was superb didn't need a steak knive to cut it as it was so tender

We stopped off after a long and very wet walk! We were unsure whether to stop anywhere as we had a (very muddy) dog with us. We are so glad we did. Staff were most welcoming, it was a lovely & relaxed atmosphere and the...

They were extremely unfriendly and did not want to serve food and this was only 2 10 although it said they close at 3pm When we enter the pub they just looked at us and said The kitchen is closed

We came to the Rose and Crown for a Sunday lunch before heading off for a walk from the Abbey. I had some trouble booking a table and had to try several times before I got a reply. However we had a lovely warm welcome...

Excellent meal and welcome today from this lovely old pub looking onto the river wye Really good choice, plentiful portions and home cooked food Friendly welcoming staff and hosts Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!

We stayed in Tintern for two nights and once we found this pub we didn't look further. The landlord and staff were perfect hosts as we had had a horrible 8 hour drive from Cornwall. The lamb stew was possibly the best i've had, the...

Ate here for two nights while we were staying in Tintern. Overall the food was excellent although I did feel that the battered fish on our first night was a little overcooked. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent.

Tintern was busy. Could not find a table in the first two places we tried but managed to get one here. Pleased we did as pub grub doesn't come much better. Pie and chips for me, curry for my wife all washed down with a...

Went here for my mums special birthday- amazing food and fantastic service. The homemade lasagne is the best I’ve ever had and we really enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Tintern

Horrible food !!! If u like frozen food maybe you ok with that but had fish and it was awful how hard would it be to make batter and coat it and fry very disappointing ☹

Family meal with 14 of us booked in for Sunday Lunch. Fab meal and friendly service from Sally Jason and team once again, nothing is too much trouble. Can’t fault a thing. Highly recommend 👍

Stayed overnight in the village and wanted an evening meal. The pub was busy but fitted us in so had a drink by the river while we waited. The meal was worth the wait, the gravy in the steak and butty (local ale which my...

Very friendly rom the moment we arrived. Sat inside for dinner and did an amazing hot chili. Great drinks and atmosphere. Sat on the decking deck to the river outside one evening and very relaxing

Had a couple of meals here during our stay in Tintern. It's a traditional style pub which serves some good ales and has decent menu choices. We had fillet steak on our first visit which was good. On our second visit we had the Sunday...

Lovely, hearty food and good beer after a day's walking. It was the service which really made our evening though - nothing was too much trouble. Great pub overlooking a lovely part of the Wye - would certainly go again

Lovely pub, lovely people, excellent service, great food. We chose a table outside, overlooking the river Wye so had a beautiful view. Just as our food was served the proprietor (I think that's what he was) came over to warn us that it was about...

Another great meal and the friendliest service tonight as always. Also makes the best Sunday Roast too. Would recommend to anyone.

Traditional pub overlooking the river Wye. Friendly attentive service and good home cooked food with very generous portions! The chicken madras was lovely! Dog friendly too.

My girlfriend and I visited weekly over many months from 2016 to 2019, it was great food that was the draw, superb grub. Along with a likeable friendly landlady Sally, the Rose and Crown seemed a great pub. Unfortunately, it was soured by a miserable...

Perfect pub grub, friendly service and right on the river just down from the abbey. We had steak and ale pie, lasagne and the blackberry tart, all spot on.

A short walk from Tintern Abbey along the riverfront, gives the location a convenient location. Beyond the location, the food was surprisingly good. The Boar Burger for example was excellent. Good portion sizes, friendly service, nice ambience, good views of the river and great food.

Myself and 3 friends were on our way to see Tintern Abbey and stopped off at the Rose & Crown for a bit of lunch. The manageress has a great sense of humour, joining in with a bit of banter with our group. Service was...

I had lunch at the R&C on Saturday with a group of friends. I regularly eat there with different groups of friends (lunch time and evening) and the food is always great. You always get a warm and friendly welcome and good service. I read...

This very much is a local pub and has friendly staff and a great location right on the river. The decor is fishing themed throughout. We had the lasagne and the cauliflower cheese and both were really delicious with hearty portions. The cheesy garlic bread...

Stopped here during a very muddy river hike with the kids and a small dog. Hadn't booked but they were more then welcoming to us all. Food was really lovely and good size portions. Children's meals large enough for a 10 and 12 year old....

Brilliant Boar Burger and good family pub. Child options were good too. Location is right on the River, so would be really nice on a hot day.

A whole in my life, I have never been absent from draught ales such a long time, now I had well-kept pints of Butty Bach and fish n' chips after 6 months of a torturously ascetic life! Welcoming to strangers and dogs, and very conscious of health and safety under the current situation.We recommend this pub if you are in this area.

Had an amazing time at the R&C as COVID restrictions are easing. Staff were excellent and so friendly and helpful. Food was superb, I definitely suggest the steak.My son has a peanut allergy and I was clearly informed of what he can and can’t eat with confidence. There was a great choice.Absolutely amazing, I will be going back very soon:

Stayed in Tintern for a couple of nights and made sure to eat in the Rose and Crown. As before the curry was amazing. Covid Security is very good with reduced tables/booking required for meals, hand sanitiser etc etc. Jason and Sally excellent hosts. If you're staying in Tintern you should go.

We eat at the Rose and Crown (aka Tintern Steakhouse) last night. 6 of us all enjoyed excellent meals including steaks on sizzler plates. The staff were super friendly and helpful. For a traditional, authentic pub dining experience the R&C is highly recommended.

Excellent place! Food was outstanding. Service with a smile. Very friendly. Definitely best steaks and stew ever had.

Visited on Friday night for food and drink, really pleased we did. Excellent local pub, friendly atmosphere and the staff were very polite and helpful. The smell from the kitchen tempted me into having the curry which was really tasty, plentiful and excellent value. So tasty in fact we returned Saturday for more. Great pub all round and would recommend if in Tintern.

Friendly atmosphere. Welcoming and great home cooked food. Varied choice with food everyone expects to find on a pub menu. Would recommend and will return. Many thanks!

Would highly recommend this pub to anyone. Sunday Lunch is the best. Great friendly service and relaxing atmosphere too. 👍

We were welcomed and sat very quickly. They were really accommodating for a rare food allergy and the food was amazing. We wanted to try everything that came out of the kitchen while we were there. Changed our holiday plans so we can go again.

Stopped for soup and coffee just as they opened at 12pm. Very friendly, lovely soup, good portions and reasonably priced. Would definitely call again when passing

We consider this pub an excellent find and will definitely visit again. The landlord was welcoming and the locals friendly. A good choice on the menu but we didn’t really get beyond the specials board which was full of “old fashioned “ choices. One of us went for the corned beef hash, and the other steak and kidney pudding. The food was steaming hot, plentiful and a reasonable price. Thank you for a great experience.

The food was excellent and as a Coeliac they were able to cater for me without any fuss or issues, he staff were very friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend this pub.

Very friendly pub. Had a delicious lunch with my parents. I had the half roast chicken, dad the hot chilli and mum the vege lasagne and all were home cooked and delicious. Generous portions too! I had to get a doggie bag. Thanks guys.

Went there for Sunday lunch as soon as the A466 reopened. Had the roast lamb which was so tender, with 6 vegetables. Followed by ice-cream and rhubarb crumble and custard. A roast doesn't come any better than this.

All the characteristics we were looking for. Dog friendly, friendly bar staff and great tasting food at a reasonable price. Wide choice of food to suit all tastes.

The other half and I stayed in Tintern for four nights, and ate here for two of them. The food was faultless, plentiful and presented well. Excellent steaks. Landlord and landlady were delightful, very friendly and welcoming. A proper pub for both locals and visitors. A rarerity these days.

Lovely staff. Rang at last minute and (I'm guessing) the landlady reserved us a table. Food was very hot. Very tasty. Good prices. Thumbs up to you. Definitely recommend. Dogs welcome.

Visited this pub for a Sunday roast having read the good reviews on TA. The roast was amazing, piping hot, quality vegetables and plentiful! The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Couldn't fault it and we are looking forward to a return visit very soon!

Lovely Traditional Pub, run by friendly helpful owners and staff, nothing was too much trouble.

This pub is a very traditional one. As such the menu is very predictable with fish and chips, burgers, pies and steaks.

We stopped here for a night as part of a long distance cycle ride. Firstly the location is beautiful on the banks of the river with great views.

We were spending a day in Wales and found this pub after a quick visit to the Tintern Abbey that afternoon, I think their kitchen had just closed but they were really nice and let us order some food anyway.

We got a warm welcome and service was quick and efficient. Good choice of Sunday roast, including a vegetarian option. Good variety of puddings too. Our server was never far from us yet she was not overwhelming, just there when needed.

We ate here during a trip to Tinterm and found the welcome warm and the food all homemade and very tasty. My liver was excellent ( soaked overnight in milk is the land ladys secret) and my wife said her cottage pie was the best she had eaten for ages. Very good, do not walk by without trying this place!

Our league held its finals here and Jason and Sally once again excelled with the food and welcome great pub great people

From the moment my wife, three children, one chocolate Labrador and I walked in, we were made to feel welcome! The food and drink on offer is excellent quality and excellent value. The staff were very friendly and our lab was immediately 'at home!' Thank you.

After a previous nice visit we decided to go again, big mistake. My food was dry and tasteless other meals were ok but not that special. When we left a staff member came running down the road after us asking if we paid. I had and unempressed is an understatement. Safe to say never going back, I got the impression going in that we weren’t welcome. the girl who served us was friendly and looked after us though.

Great welcome, beer selection and food were very good. Nice to learn that the landlord is a local boy and cares about Tintern

We are local so have seen several versions of this place. Sally and Jason took it over a while back , and it is our favourite , purely for the friendly genuine welcome, cracking food and very good Doom Bar ale.

Amongst the high percentage of excellent reviews, one or two poor opinions of this pub's restaurant must surely have been written by 'the opposition'! Over a period of years we have found many varied items from the extensive menu all to be first class. Certainly we have never had a problem. The staff have also always been friendly and welcoming. Lovely location too.

Welcoming staff and good local beer. A very pleasant no frills place to end a walk around the Wye valley.

We found this pub by accident on a walk. We were hungry so had a burger. It was really good, much better than anticipated and great value. We’d have gone back if we’d had time. Highly recommend

A decent pub for a drink and the food also looked good. Dog friendly in the bar area. Cash only under £10 which is a bit inconvenient these days.

We stayed in Tinturn and ate here on the last evening , the staff were friendly and we were happy with the food which is freshly cooked .

We were part of a group of 23 booked in for Sunday lunch so we had the back room all to ourselves. The prices were very reasonable and included kids meals and the meals were delicious. I was very happy with my nut roast dinner complete with Yorkshire pudding and vegetarian gravy. The portion sizes were great with unlimited vegetables for all the tables. I would highly recommend the Rose and Crown for a quality meal and applaud the landlady and her team for the excellent service they provided.

Called in after reading glowing reviews of this quaint place.

After our excellent experience at the Rose and Crown for Sunday lunch last December, our family decided to meet there today for another get together. We were not disappointed. The Sunday roast lunches were superb. We will be back soon!

We have visited here many times living quite local, and we have always had a lovely warm welcome and enjoyed great food.

Me and my dad stayed here last weekend while we were walking the Offas Dyke. The pub is very handy for the route and the rooms were very comfy. The food on our stay here was excellent, and the chef made a lot of effort to source local ingredients. Wild boar burger recommended!

As the Rose & Crown was the nearest pub to the b&b; we were staying in for two nights, we decided to try it for a meal and a drink. We liked it so much that we came back the following night. We had Butty Bach ale (very good), Kingstone Gold ale (also very good), and Stowford Press cider. Our meals were also very good. But more than the food and drink, it was the atmosphere we liked. The clientele was a nice mix of tourists and local people. There was also live folk music on the first night, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
