The rose and crown in Three Rivers

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🙄

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can see why this pub/restaurant is so popular. A very comfortable atmosphere combined with lovely food and friendly staff. We both had the Barnsley chops which were lovely, but the choice was difficult with so many options. Next time I think I will pursue one of my eccentricities by having two starters as they looked delicious too. Also, it was a treat to have no background music.

Came here with 3 friends for dinner last week and had a delicious meal.

As regulars at the Rose and Crown for several years, we have seen it develop from a simple gastropub to a restaurant serving the best of modern British food without any fancy pretensions. Coupled with charming service and moderate prices, this is the ideal local eaterie.

It was a rare family gathering of 7 people. Well done the two ladies who looked after us for as a group we are undisciplined, rowdy and irreverent. My brother got back as much banter as he gave. The order taking was triumph over adversity and she got it all correct.

Met up with our group here having been last year. Had a big table for 10 ( a bit cramped ) but managed ok. The waitress had her work cut out with us lot but was very efficient. The previous week we were all stranded by the snow. The food was good apart from the pea soup that went back as too watery. They changed it without question.All the mains were lovely ( I have some very fussy friends to please ). The stick toffee pudding was sublime.

Just been for Sunday lunch. The three meat eaters had excellent roasts and were very pleased with them. When I asked for a vegetarian option, I was told I could have the Yorks pudding and the vegetables - in other words, the Sunday roast, without the meat. When asked what the protein content was, I was told there wasn't any. Is there no nut roast on offer? No. What was worst was the attitude; no apology, no explanation and no offer to provide something specially cooked. Luckily, I eat fish. I realise it was a busy Sunday, but not to offer a vegetarian choice in this day and age seems very out of date and inflexible. We won't be going again. Very sad, as we have enjoyed taking visitors there in the past. (And I would hate to think what people with special diets might be told!)

We have held our badminton club’s Christmas dinner at the Rose & Crown for many years, and with 12 round the table we were by some margin the largest party there. Our waitress was well informed, quick to please, and held her authority well. Sadly, my starter was so good I had missed the opportunity to snap my main course when it arrived, so I trust our clean plates tell you this is a place rightly famed for great food.

Another of Chorleywood's typical village pubs, situated on one side of the 900 acre Common. It has a small front bar area and a slightly larger restaurant area at the rear with it's own separate bar. It serves a good range of draught beers and classic pub grub. Staff are friendly and welcoming. There's parking at the rear and some limited outside seating at the front with a great view across the Common. The large number of regulars who drink here confirms that this is a well run pub liked by the locals.

Thank you. Staff lovely. Atmosphere beautiful. Food fantastic 10 statrs .. Adele.. sol you ladies are so kind and Amaizing customer service .. thank you

My sister booked lunch for us this week.....excellent potato soup just the way it should be made. two large prawn...

Once again a lovely Sunday Lunch with friends. Food excellence and a big shout out to our waitress Adel who works hard but always has a smile. I Would highly recommended the Rose and Crown

A good place for good value, well cooked and well presented food, featuring friendly and accommodating service.

Went for Sunday lunch. The roast was excellent along with the service and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

This visit Rose and Crown met most expectations.

We've visited before (Dec 2016) and enjoyed it so booked for a Saturday evening meal when we were in the area again. This time round was even better than before.

Came here for the first time last night for dinner and it was lovely! Cannot believe I have been wasting my time with The Gate up the road, the food and service here is unbeatable. Our server was extremely pleasant, attentive and served us with a smile. We had the arrabiatta linguine and the sausages and mash which all tasted delicious. We still had room for some dessert so shared the ginger sticky toffee pudding which was divine! All the food was presented beautifully and you could tell they used fresh ingredients. We will most definitely be back...maybe for a roast after a long walk in Chorleywood.

I was aware of this place as a good old boozer several decades ago. With a lot of wood, including panelling,small bar and no poncy seats, it still has many of a proper old pub's attributes. However, though the overall impression is unpretentious their food is quite sophisticated. The menu descriptions may look simple but the dishes revealed many more ingredients and are beautifully presented, and a good size - even scallops come in 3s+ trimmings. Jolly good 2 course lunch menu for £14.95. Wines reasonable but real ales now nearer to £4.20 a pint - at least there's a range of at least three. Service cheerful and competent. Booking probably advisable - delight highly likely.

An intimate, cottage-style country pub that oozes charm. The traditional English food is carefully cooked and presented, and all 3 of us were delighted with our meals. Service is attentive, with an eye for detail. Not a big range of drinks, but who cares when the food is this good!

We have taken to hanging out here while we wait for our daughter's dance classes next door to finish. It is utterly cosy and welcoming and the warm owners are happy to let us just enjoy some quiet time together. There's always a lovely soft buzz to the place. Immaculately decorated.

Good value restaurant with a wide selection to suit all tastes. I could not resist starter of chicken livers from the 'specials'. Superbly tender and full of flavour but very filling. This was followed by sea bass on a bed of sundried tomato mash. Fabulous! But also very filling leaving no room for dessert.On the positive side, tables are a good size so not in any way cramped. However noise levels make conversation slightly difficult, otherwise would give this place full marks.

We visited this lovely pub again for a meal. The food was again very good and great portion size. Myself and my family all left feeling very satisfied.The staff were warm and friendly and my little baby boy slept like a log.Thanks to the Team at the Rose and Crown!

Called over the Bank Holiday with my wife.Glad I had booked as restaurant was full.Food was great as was the service from 2 friendly waitresses.Nice pub with good atmosphere- well worth a visit.

My parents (in their 70s) have been coming to this pub for years and cite it as a firm favourite. It was my second visit to The Rose and Crown-the occasion was an extended family evening meal.The back restaurant room isn't large but doesn't feel too cramped. The weather was extremely warm and the windows were open; however it felt fairly uncomfortable. The staff couldn't help this of course but it did mar the meal a bit. The second thing I noticed was how noisy it was. Because it's a popular place, and the seating area is not big the noise was amplified. We were a group of 7 and it was difficult to hold a conversation with those members further away due to the acoustics.Initially the serving staff were very attentive and friendly. However towards the end of the meal I did notice that two of the three waitresses were more intent on having a conversation at the bar area rather than serving the tables. Therefore I had to go up to request coffees and the bill. There was a good choice of food on the menus, catering for both vegetarians and meat eaters. There were also a number of specials for starter and main. When it arrived I thought the food was fine but nothing out of the ordinary. I had a feta and parma ham salad to start and a harissa lamb skewer for main course. The dessert I chose was a ginger and honey cheesecake which was very nice. The rest of my family seemed to enjoy their meals so that's good.I really want to rave about this place as my parents think it's so good. I just don't really get it. Sure, it's nice enough and the food is decent but I don't think it's anything special. Perhaps I'm just missing something...

Visited Chorleywood to watch Westherts play Cricket. During the tea break, we wandered through the extensive parklands and came across The Rose and Crown. What a wonderful location. Publican Geoff was welcoming and provided us with refreshing drinks and a story.Sitting outside looking across the broad paddock of grasslands while sipping a cold pint. Tranquility came over me.Great atmosphere, friendly and welcoming environment and a cold pint, magnificent!

Visited the pub for a lunch after leaving the motorway. A very wise decision. We ordered two starters each and they were excellent. I can really recommend the chicken liver Piri Piri. All the food was very well presented and served well. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The chef obviously knows what he is doing. Thank you for your hospitality.

I often visit this wonderful pub to eat and have to say the food is always well cooked and the selection is exactly what one would want from a homely country pub!The staff are welcoming and friendly, also and importantly the ale is well kept. I would recommend a visit here if you are visiting Chorleywood!!

Tiny pub with small restaurant. Victorian landlord. Almost hostile to our small party.Menu looked good. Shame about the reception.Will never return.

Prawn cocktail starter was generous and completely tasteless. Tiny, toe nail frozen prawns in a flavourless Marie Rose sauce. Main course of chicken was edible but dry and overcooked. £7 for glass of wine to accompany a reasonably priced two courses at £14 - overpriced. Stand out feature were the stressed, waiting staff who projected their anxiety on to the diners. In a sea of mediocrity The Rose and Crown has managed to hold its own for a number of years - but it doesn't challenge or stand out.

Recently in June a friend and I visited The Rose and Crown on Chorleywood on the perimeter of common, it is a great place for a local real beer, either a pint of ale or the dark stuff and sit outside at one of their tables.

We recently had lunch as this pub on Bank Holiday Monday, which was packed. We found the staff to be very helpful and did warn us that it may take some time to get our meal as they were so busy, which it did. The food was very good, tasty and good size portions. Don't think much on the decor, but that's by the by!

The owner is unhelpful and not particularly friendly. Won't try again. Talking to locals, it seems this pub is known for not being inviting and an unhelpful publican.

We booked a table for an informal evening out - there were eight of us in the party. The service was really excellent - friendly, attentive and punctual. Food was good and the menu had an excellent range to tempt every pallet.

The Rose & Crown has been a favourite of our family for many years but on a recent dinner there I was less impressed. Let me first qualify things by saying that I am a very fussy eater but in the past I have always been able to find something on the starter menu I liked, choosing from the chalk board that has now disappeared. This time there was nothing listed that I could accept. No old favourites like prawn cocktail, Palma ham and melon, and two of the dishes offered were liver-based, which unfortunately I don't like amongst my foibles.I also felt the professionalism of service had gone sharply down-hill. A shrill waitress with a seeming lack of training didn't help. On ordering my sweet I was asked if I wanted coffee, to which I replied yes but after the sweet course please. I never got my coffee.The pub was very busy and I am sure the owner was delighted, but I fear a degree of complacency needs correcting and the menu adjusted somewhat for the very conventional diner. We will give it some time before venturing there again.

Had a really lovely lunch with friends at the Rose & Crown.I have visited this place many times over the years and never disappoints. Friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Food is of very high standard andthe service is excellent. Looking forward to my next visit.

Just had a lovely lunch with friends. Very good lunch menu, 2 courses for £14.50. The food is tasty and freshly cooked, with good portions. The service is friendly and efficient. We will definitely be going back.

Have visited this pub many times and have never been disappointed with the food and the staff are always cheerful and helpful. Particular favourite the salted caramel ice cream

Excellent food. Not a place for children. Good local - friendly atmosphere. Sunday roasts are recommended.

We had a lovely meal here on a Friday night, lovely scallops with prawns to start and a steak for me and a nice piece of fish for my wife. Good portions. Would definitely recommend and will go again soon!

Small, overpriced and over-rated. Indifferent staff and a disinterested and aloof manager. Not at all like other TA reviews.Not going back.

Lovely food. Warm welcome! A great local! Need to book as obviously has a great reputation, so booked to return before we left.

Food is very good but it is slow in coming but worth waiting for. Value for money. Can be a bit crowded but a lovely country pub restaurant

We booked the Rose and Crown for a dinner with friends last night as it has a nice location and looks cute from the outside.However, we were all very pleasantly surprised at the quality, taste and presentation from such a small local pub. Food was excellent, I had a fillet steak and the quality was definitely on a par with the West End restaurants I frequent and my guests all agree it was way above average.Highly Recommended.

5 of us ate here, in bar because dog not allowed in restaurant - only two or three tables and Even restaurant q small so recommend booking. Food was really tasty, and puddings went down v well. Attentive staff. Just loses a point for the v high prices (even for the London area) and slightly cramped conditions. V popular with walkers as huge common just across road.

We visited the Rose and Crown several times over the holiday season and always experienced a warm welcome from the landlord and his wife who are backed by a great team. The pub itself is charming and situated overlooking picturesque Chorleywood Common. The food is exceptional, with portions on the generous side and the restaurant is nicely busy. I recommend the superb Barnsley Chop. Definitely recommended.

Popped in several times recently, when visiting in-laws in C/wood, last time on Christmas Day. A walk across the Common, then a pint (or two!) of a well-kept London Pride an excellent Sunday afternoon tonic. Friendly, helpful service, lots of 'buzzy' chatter going on. Highly recommended

We were staying overnight at a nearby B&B and booked an evening meal here several weeks ago. Although we had been recommended another local pub for an evening meal I’d checked out TA and decided to try the Rose and Crown instead. It felt like the right decision when I spoke to the landlady on the phone, as she was so friendly, and it was.The pub is in between attractive houses on a pleasant part of the common and it feels like a comfortable home when you walk in through the front door. The landlord and staff were welcoming and friendly, and there was a pleasant background of chat and banter from the locals. Great choice of perfectly-kept real ales – most of which were sensibly session strength. The dining room behind the bar was stylish but still homely and, although small, neighbouring tables weren’t too close. The food was somewhere between between pub grub and gastro, although the menu seemed to be aimed more at the gastro end. No complaints but have had better at the prices, but have also had worse. Having said that, we agreed that the mashed and roast potatoes were amongst the best we’d ever had!The Rose and Crown is one of those pubs I occasionally come across that I really wish was my local. Homely and friendly atmosphere, with good beers and food.

I went for lunch with my extended family, The lunch menu is vast. As well as the standard menu, they also have a selection of roasts (lamb, prok & beef) as well as a special menu. I started with a Spicey Prawns on Toast, which was nothing like I expected. The sauce had a depth of flavour that I had not expected. This was truly an amzing starter that the title does not do justice to. Try it - you will be delighted!I also had the roast lamb, which was delicious. Not over cooked like many places, but soft. pink & tender.Washed down with some Chablis & a nice Fleurie, it was an absolute champion of a lunch.It's quite a schlep to get there from my home town of Godalming - but great to go to when visiting relatives. It was not the first time I have been here for a meal, and certainly will not be the last!

I was taken here last night for my birthday treat by my daughter, what a fabulous surprise.On entering the bar we were greeted with a very welcoming landlord and a roaring log fir, great selection of real ales which we just had to try !Then into the small but lovely restaraunt,.We were greeted by a very charming waitress who gave us the menus and ran through the daily specials with us.The food was to die for, definitely not pub grub, more like a Michelin * establishment, the service was excellent, a really great waitress who did know her job, such a change thesedaysA comprehensive, well chosen and sensibley priced wine list as well, having 2/3 of my favorite wines was a bonusThe fixed 3 course set menu is outstanding value for money at just £17.50, crumbs, most places charge that for a main course !A real gem of a pub, wish it was my local !

Got children that require a pushchair? Then you're not welcome in the bar and there is "no room for prams in the restaurant "Looking for a family meal? Don't bother here.

No one will be disappointed with visiting this establishment . The food is near to Micheline star with fabulous quality food. I have visited this place on many occasions and they have never disappointed .Rhonda and Jeff have run this excellent pub and restaurant for many years and one should never not visit to experience the place for themselves. A true find.

Had a great lunch . Lots of parking close by . Great menu and fab wine list. Worth a visit . If you have a group of 5 or more book in advance.

Great pub scene but limited space - friendly clientele and staff, great in the summer not sure how it would be in the winter. Restaurant food is very traditional but they don't do chips (Roast, New, Boiled, Mash, dauphinoise potatoes) and no rice which is bizarre when they have a curry on the menu. The quality and flavours are good just need to choose carefully.

Food here is always beautifully cooked and well presented. The staff are very friendly and helpful and a lovely atmosphere. We have never been disappointed and can thoroughly recommend this lovely pub/restaurant.

Best pub in the world. Great little place with a great atmosphere in the bar. The owners are fantastic. The hidden gem is the amazing food in the restaurant and served in the bar. No pub grub here, this is proper bistro style food. A must visit and of course amazing views across the common.

We wanted a pub for lunch with two families, circumspect rang en route to check they had space, and we were very clear we had children with us and how many , We were placed in small dining room (having offered to sit outside)....no problem. Nevertheless despite normal happy albeit chatty four children under 5 and a baby we were asked to keep the noise down within 10 mins and made to feel very uncomfortable in favour of the other guests. Discussed this with the landlord at the end as we felt we should have been warned children unwelcome. The boundaries were very blurred and poorly managed. Only to be told "in my day we would never have let children scream like that". What a ridiculous over reaction as not one screen between them, just vibrant happy banter. When challenged on why he had not just said we don't have children in this pub...his response was "I can't tell people only well behaved children ". Landlord is very unpersonable and hostile. Waiting staff friendly but don't even attempt to go with children.

The Rose and Crown still the best pub in Chorleywood by a country mile. 14 of us sat in the restaurant for Sunday lunch and had great food and service.

Loop even door naar achter, erg gezellige eetzaal. We hadden onze Sunday roast al gehad, anders was dit een goed alternatief geweest. In de avond voetbal gekeken aan de voorkant. Het leek wel of we op bezoek waren. Een leuke herinnering aan een Engelse vakantie!

There really is no point in complaining to the landlord if you are less than satisfied with your meal or service as he isn't interested. When a friend complained that the sausages were burnt he was told 'no that's how people like them cooked'. On another occasion a customer suggested to him that it was unhygienic to stroke his dog while serving to which he was told 'well f--k off if you don't like it' !! Hilarious. The location on the common is great and we still pop in occasionally (only for a drink) if we're out walking and just ignore his wrath and lack of customer service skills. Be warned!!

My favourite pub ever. Fantastic owners, Jeff and Rhonda who provide plenty of banter and the locals aren't bad either. Fantastic food server by Grant and his team. The best Sunday lunches for miles and miles. A must if you are visiting the area.

went to this restaurant yesterday for a birthday lunch, lovely countryside, met with a cheerful greeting and both food and drink excellent. Not too expensive but the owner and staff run as a team so well worth the visit
