The rose and crown in Three Rivers

Authentic country pub. Beer is always well kept. Geoff the landlord is one of the best Great freindly atmosphere. Outside seating with views over the common. Highly recommended

I’m an American living in chorley up until 2002. Rose and crown was one of my fondest memories in living in UK. Jeff and his partner took care of us and our family with some of the best duck and bubble and squeak along with best beer and atmosphere ever. Glad to see they are still around once we come to visit we will be looking up Jeff et al

A beautifully quaint traditional pub where the locals are friendly and you feel like a valued patron. A hidden gem amongst today's large chains

A decent local pub with a good range of beer. The landlord even provided some free roast potatoes.

A very friendly drinking pub, rare these days. Enjoy.

It was good and simply wonderful

Proper pub, friendly landlord, good beer.

Great pub. Shame they don’t do food any more.

Lovely cosy local pub in the heart of Chorleywood.

I love going to the Rose and crown and joining in with the happy jolly conversations of the locals. Meeting jeff the miserable landlord and the strange regulars makes me realise that things aren’t quite as bad as they could be…thanks everyone! See customer service is still a number one priority🙄

Good beer and a friendly landlord

A wonderful, friendly independant country pub. The ale from the nearby Paradigm Brewery was like liquid gold

A proper pub, no food, no pretentions. Friendly landlord.

Like pubs used to be and should be.

Locals pub, good beer, not noisy

A good traditional pub, does not pretend to be anything else. Great beer selection, great atmosphere. Well worth a visit, I do every time I'm that way.

Great atmosphere, lovely location on the common.

Lovely warm welcome, most enjoyable!

Nice quaint pub with a view of Chorleywood Common. Good service and comfortable seating. Always a pleasure to go there.

Beautiful place, good service and delicious food.

Proper pub with great selection of beers and great service

This place was amazing. It had beers and ales on tap! I was even allowed to drink at provided tables outside.

Ok for a drink but no food and more of a male pub small inside

Great beer, friendly staff and a nice dog!

Great little pub full of locals 'good pub

Jeff is a miserable old so and so but he runs a splendid pub - Rhonda can be OK if you get her on a good day - but the staff are superb, the beer well kept and a good selection of wines

Great host. He's very welcoming and friendly. Sissie the black labrador was also very friendly. Enjoyed our beers there. Nice selection. Its a pity that the lockdown in 2020 caused the kitchen to close.

We drove all the way here, to be told that there was no food. I absolutely know that I've eaten here before, it was early in the day so I really don't understand why there was no food, we were simply pointed in the direction of competitor businesses. I was very sad as I was really looking forward to that traditional country pub vibe.

Friendly and welcoming. Relaxed atmosphere.

I enjoy this pub, friendly staff, cosy feel

Landlord Jeff one of a kind , good company

Love this friendly pub. Great for a quick refreshment break when walking our dog. Unfortunately not serving food anymore at the moment due to Covid restrictions. Hope it will change soon.

Have been to this lovely pub a good few times over the years and am always impressed with the quality of the beer and in particular the craft ales. On our local pub crawl this routinely wins the best pint. Lovely, friendly people too.

Nice atmosphere. The staff and owner very very polite and accommodating. The food " Excellent " Michelin style! Highly recommended!

Wonderful pub, dog friendly and the tapas are incredible. Really recommend the lamb neck and monk fish w chorizo

The Rose and Crown in Chorleywood (note the location on the common, not the pub of the same name on the Harefield side of Rickmansworth) has long been known for excellent food, a good selection of beer, and the hospitality of the landlord and landlady. After lockdown it opened again for drinks, operating under careful but pragmatic restrictions. The restaurant at the back of the pub has been converted into a drinks area (as it used to be many years ago). Food has not been available until last week and the return is a triumph. Gone are the excellent steaks, pies, fish etc. to be replaced by a thoughtful tapas menu. We have eaten there twice since the resumption, both occasions proving excellent. Highlights included salmon ceviche (very fresh and tangy), sweet and sour spare ribs, a delightful lamb rump with a garlic dipping sauce, and octopus. Also added to the full menu is the traditional backed camembert (with the addition of roast garlic and an onion chutney, sweet potatoes fries, and pork belly. All the dishes are tasty, filling and innovative. There is also a small selection of afters, but so far I have not ventured there. We were told that the sticky toffee pudding is superb. Another advantage is that the food is a good excuse to explore Jeff’s wine list. We had an excellent Portuguese red blend. Capacity is down during the Covid-madness, so booking as advised. This will become more of an issue as word of the food gets out and the weather turns less favourable (there is some outdoor seating). One traditional touch is that punters are trusted to add a tip as they see fit, not be subjected to the ‘discretionary but dare to complain’ service charge seen in other local establishments (see my other recent review). The staff are diligent in cleaning the tables between guests and all the regulations seem to be followed. Great to have this favourite back.

Ellátogatunk a vidéki Angliába. Igaz csak városközel-vidék. Golfpálya az út mentén, takaros házak, az étterem előtt egy asztalnál üldögél egy rövidnadrágos ember. Rákérdezek: "nincs túl hideg a kiüléshez?"....rám néz: "Barátom ez Anglia, hol lenne már hideg?"...értem:nem alkuszom, én bemegyek a vendéglő felfűtött terébe. Egyébként a szénszag ott a levegőben...van ahol még ezzel fűtenek. Benn békebeli kép fogad: kutya fekszik a szőnyegen keresztben. Fotelekben, asztaloknál tereferélő vendégek: kik sörrel a kezükben, kik "csak úgy". Nem zavarjuk meg őket, ők sem törődnek velünk. A tulajdonos házaspár kiszolgál. "Tea and scone" miatt jöttünk, ami a tea mellett süteményszerű kenyérke, lekvár és könnyű, már-már habosított vaj. Kétféleképpen kenheted a sütit: előbb a vaj, majd a lekvár, vagy éppen fordítva, előbb a lekvár majd a vaj (most azzal ne törődj, hogy mindkettő ugyanoda kerül, Angliában vagy). Fenséges teasütemény. Katink nagyokat somolyog hozzá. Én maradok a sörnél, abból is a Guinness, hiszen Angliában vagyunk. A délutáni, vidéki Angliában, ahol lelassulnak a mozdulatok, ahol minden olyan békebeli.

The only place in the world that does a better sticky toffee pudding than my Mum. There is no higher praise 👍

Enjoyed a lovely meal with my wife and good friends. Although I have had a drink here before, it was the first time I had eaten at The Rose and Crown and it was a wonderful experience. We had a wide choice of meals, of which everybody was very happy with. I can highly recommend the liver and bacon, delicious! A good wine list, covering all budgets. Our waitress Julia was very friendly and extremely helpful, as was Holly. Compliments to the kitchen staff, thank you very much for a great meal.

After festive season, lunch with my sister and this is the nearest pub, on the common. Food and service very good...mushrooms and a very large supreme of salmon for my sister, prawn cocktail, so large my wife could not eat it all and liver and bacon and for me whitebait (plump fish, elsewhere usually thin and dried up) followed by sausage mash and onion gravy...now I have a healthy appetite but I could not eat three of these sausages. Excellent value for money...we shall return next visit.

Good but service with a smile doesn't hurt!

Lovely food, good selection and staff are lovely. Would highly recommend

Back here again for my walking group Christmas lunch and just the same efficient service and great ambience. The food was excellent quality and came as always in very generous helpings. It’s very impressive that a small village pub managed to serve a group of 32 people with such apparent ease. Full marks to landlord Geoff and his team.

Last Tuesday I came to the pub for dinner with my husband, can I just say the service was amazing, this lovely young lady took such great care of us, and will definitley be the reason for our return, the food was magnificent I recommend the pork medallion!

Just got back from the Rose and Crown went for Christmas special lunch six of us the food was excellent the service was first class will definitely be coming back if you are going make sure you booked because it was full up spent 4 hours there very pleasant meal and Company Chris

Had Sunday lunch with my girlfriend today, food was very good, service ok but I have to mention the welcome. The lady behind the bar, middle aged, brown hair, eating choc biscuits and texting needs to smile more and be a little more ‘hospitable’ Not really welcoming ... quite miserable actually.

Small pub, looked nice, but didnt get to go in for food and drinks as it was very busy on saturday evening.

Location is so beautiful and vibe is intimate ...drinks good too!!

We enjoyed our meal on Friday evening at this pub. It's warm and comfortable and the food was good but the landlord is quite miserable. Our waitress was efficient and pleasant.

Nice atmosphere and food was outstanding would highly recommend

Lunch after a walk - excellent food. Freshly cooked, chef of the day was the son of the landlady and needs congratulating. Good service as well. Could get busy and getting into the car park is VERY tight!

Having dined on a number of occasions we have noticed a decline in menu and quality of food. Still good but not up to previous high standard. Service continues to be good.

Awful place. Clearly not there for the customer. Why advertise that you are serving until 230pm when you are told that they stop at 2pm? Don’t bother making the effort unless you want to be disappointed

Brilliant , good service, great food nice and friendly staff , good drink selection, what more can you possibly want .....

Food was excellent and came quickly, service was good and the restaurant is lovely. My little boy had chicken nuggets which were homemade and proper chicken rather than frozen! We will definitely be back.

Little gem of a pub. Some nice lagers and a few good ales, some of which are local. Great food and a really good deal on the set menu. Would be worth booking as was busy on the Tuesday evening we went. Friendly staff and quick service too. Compliments to Jeff and Rhonda and all the staff. I would definitely recommend for anyone who was thinking of a visit.

This is a nice little pub on the common in Chorleywood. Met up with a few friends for a drink and a bit of food. The pub is a traditional pub which nice when your not looking for one of the gastros one which seem to be everywhere these days. Friendly staff and the prices where ok

Lovely little pub. Fantastic friendly service. It was a beautiful day so we were able to sit outside with the dogs but also dog friendly so could have eaten inside. The menu was great. Lots of choice including a long list of specials. We shared a starter and all had different mains. I went for the Steak and Ale pie which was lovely. And it came with chips... this apparently is a big things as in the past chips has not been an option. Every one of us commented on how good the food was and would happily visit again in the future. One of the best meals I have had in a proper pub!

I want to thank the staff for doing an excellent job, great food and excellent staff. They had everything covered.

Visited this pub on a quiet Tuesday night, decided didn't fancy the options except the steak , they had two left it was 6.30 on a tuesday, asked to be cooked medium and they offered mash or, boiled neither go with steak my friend asked for some chips and as it was quiet I said could we request both with chips , they arrived with boiled and my steak was so rare the blood had ran all around the plate, I called the waitress she said shall get chief to put it back in,! And please take the boiled potatoes away, sorry over priced and pretentious, it's a pub would not go again.

We visit on average once a month. We have never been dissapointed with the quality of the food or the friendliness of the staff and the landlord. We have never seen anyone dissapointed around us when we visit, so I am puzzled to read any negative reviews. The chefs are to be complimented for the way they present their food and the veg is also a feature on the plate and something to enjoy. Always a pleasant visit. If we lived locally, we would visit at least once a week!

Excellent in every way. Been working down here for a number of weeks and this is by far the best pub food I have encountered here. Claudia and Fliss are the most pleasant and hard working girls. Always attentive to who needs what. Briefly met the landlord and he seems to be a pleasant and funny guy. I will definitely return for more food and London Pride.

Around 20 members of our Chilterns walking group went for lunch at the Rose & Crown, attractively located on the edge of Chorleywood Common, after our walk this week. We ordered our meals before setting off, and they were ready to be served fairly promptly upon our return. All of our food was beautifully cooked and presented, and was tremendously good value at £14.50 for two courses, £17.50 for three courses, all from a very tempting range of options. Portion sizes were generous. My own selection of dishes - portobello mushrooms stuffed with blue cheese for starter, calves liver and bacon with mash for main course, and an utterly yummy sticky toffee pudding with stem ginger ice-cream for dessert - were all superb. Service, by two very pleasant young ladies, was efficient and friendly. All in all, lunch at the Rose & Crown was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We shall definitely be looking forward to visiting there again.

Visited again based on previous visits :- soup, smoked salmon/prawns and chicken/pomegranate/watermelon ...all good. Liver good; bream good but mash lukewarm; sausage and mash not good....sausages overcooked and burnt, onions burnt and mash lukewarm verging on the cool. Service friendly but no-one asked why my sister and I both left the potatoes. Maybe too busy in the bar as only us in the restaurant area!!!

Great meal with great friends. First time here, shame it's 6000 miles from where I live.

A lovely old fashioned pub feel with a great landlord. The food is excellent with specials and locally sourced produce. Bigger inside than it looks from the outside.

Food good place very small bar crowded

The restaurant may look a bit odd from the outside and in quite a random location, but the food was just amazing and not only that, it took such a short amount of time to deliver the food to our table. If you do pass by Chorleywood, I certainly recommend it.

Called in for lunch made to feel unwelcome, the place was busy, waitress made it obvious she did not want to serve me. First and most certainly the last visit for me.

Cosy, friendly, tasty. It came recommended and it didn't disappoint.

Very small, busy bar with hidden restaurant around back.

Had an amazing meal here yesterday, the sardine starter was superb and the calves liver was perfect. Highly recommended

The restaurant has a carpet. This means it's not noisy, even when full. The room is not the height of comfort but there is a good choice of wines and beers and the set menu has variety. Yesterday, I had whitebait (excellent) and paella - not one for the Spanish epicure but really tasty. I've enjoyed lunch and dinner here quite often. Always good and value for money with cheerful service. Two courses £15.50, three £17.50. Highly recommend.

Starters all good - mushrooms,smoked salmon and prawns and soup., as was Chicken,duck (special) and liver and bacon. Service prompt and friendly and food hot.

Landlord and staff very welcoming and friendly. Excellent choice of wines and beers and interesting menus for lunch and dinner. One or two odd locals in on a Tuesday night but, overall, a really good old fashioned country pub atmosphere. If you are in the area, go there. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent. Landlord has sense of humour and good beer

Absolutely lovely! Went with friends for a Christmas lunch, the food was perfect, and everyone made sure that we were very well looked after. A really great time was had by all. Would definitely recommend.

What a place very friendly & good beers

Came here with my walkers group for our Christmas lunch, all 32 of us. We were a bit muddy and bedraggled after a morning of showers, but we were made very welcome as always. Serving that many people in a relatively small room was a challenge, but the staff managed it all with a smile and no complaints. The meal was excellent. The portions were as big as the food was tasty. I particularly liked my scallops starter and the inevitable Christmas Pudding dessert, which unusually was square, not round. All together a great lunch at a classic village pub on the edge of Chorleywood Common.

This was a real find. Unpretentious to the eye but a real pub feel inside, not huge but cosy.

Free car park to the rear. Nice little pub, very friendly and the food was outstanding!

Part of large party last week - all served promptly with good selection on Menu catering for most tastes. Reasonably priced for good food. Bar area gets cramped but otherwise recommend.

Cosy pub. Great chips. Often put out nice sausages

We took some good old friends on a Saturday night and had some great food. Between us we had Scalllops, house made Pate, Soup as starters, followed by Rib Eye, Cod, house made hand raised Steak and Ale Pie, and Pork. Topped off with Brownie, Sticky Toffee Pud, and Ice Cream. The menu had many classics but they also had at least 3 specials on offer for each course. Loads of choice. The presentation, and quality was way above typical pub grub, and great value. Highly encourage a visit.

Sunday lunch. No complaints. Good food good service reasonable price and no er, after effects. Not brilliant but certainly good.

Don’t get me wrong, I like this pub. It is a small establishment. I like the food choice. However, the landlord is so rude to his staff. They are very young so don’t know alcoholic beverages. They are very polite young girls. He was so rude to them as not knowing the wines and stock. It has made me not want to return. The way he spoke to them infront of whole pub was disgusting and I won’t be returning. It’s a shame because it is my local, the landlord is repulsive in his mannerisms towards them

Very good food and friendly service, particularly the lambs liver. wife had the whitebait and that was good as well.

Just had a good set lunch at this delightful pub with dear friends. The food was tasty and well presented, the service was good in an amicable atmosphere. I am always pleased to come here. It is best to reserve a table.

11 of us went and a lovely treat it was too. Superb food , attentive and friendly staff and the landlady was on the ball in all departments. Beer was a little more expensive than we are used to but not that bad.

Amazing food and great service. The steak was fabulous. Second best in London so far.

Very friendly especially to dogs. Happy to let us share a meal as we don't eat a lot. The food was lovely also a special 3 course lunch deal.

A pub for old men. Usually a pleasant place but not on our last visit. Won't go again.

Perfect Local pub overlooking the common. Always a great atmosphere... Traditional. Food is out of this world

The food was quite nice but the reception from staff was rude to the point of being hostile. We would not return.

Love this pub! So does our dog! Brilliant landlord, wonderful food, kind and welcoming to all creatures both 2-legged and 4-legged.

Best pub around. Excellent food. Brilliant staff. Topped by Chorleywood’s very own Basil Fawlty. Whether popping in for a beer or a full on meal, it’s worth the visit.

a couple of tables outside with a busy main road, but nice surroundings. pleasant on a summers day. Plenty of parking at back of pub.

Lovely local pub with a great food choice and good overall service. I would highly recommend this cosy pub.

Great food and wonderful fresh beer

A Chorleywood institution. A wonderful combination of village boozer and restaurant serving proper well-cooked, locally-sourced good food with just the right amount of unfussy inspiration. A place of light banter, gentle eccentricity and old fashioned attention to detail. The landlord, contrary to the view of a very small number of shrinking violets and squealing liberals is delightfully entertaining and his staff appropriately bonkers. Service is brilliant.
