The Rose and Crown in South Gloucestershire

Called in with my family whilst visiting friends. The Sunday lunch was superb, plenty of food and perfectly cooked beef. My wife had the vegetarian option and she said it was the best one she has had (we visit chef and brewer brand a lot) this is one of the best we have been to. Great service and a really nice place

Once again disappointing! It used to be so welcoming, which is probably why we give it another chance. Today it was chilly and unwelcoming . Opted for a cheese toastie, as only wanted a light lunch, but sadly this wasn’t available!! So no bread, and no cheese at 1240? Remarkable! The place has become a bit utilitarian, and shabby. When we commented that it was cold today, we were faced with lots of excuses, but no apologies. Needless to say, we won’t be going back.

We’ve had a delicious full English breakfast there today. Very good service and delicious food using high quality ingredients. The Rose & Crown never disappoints!

Wanted to change number of people on booking, emailed - ignored, rang phone, completely ignored. What is the point? Don’t deserve ur custom.

👋 good food of the best, good staff

Good food, good staff and reasonable price.

Sold out of belly pork Disappointed and it was early 5 ish

Went in with my family including our dog. Very friendly and helpful staff, beautiful traditional atmosphere and food delicious. A big thank you to Paris who did her best to cater for us, was welcoming and helpful

Most unwelcome experience getting a table and being shown to the table, so much so that we left without ordering

Went for lunch as this is a lovely restaurant with pretty surroundings and not too far to travel. Took advantage of special mains deal and was pleased to have extra choices of baked sea trout or duck pie. I chose the sea trout and it was very tasty and the glazed chantenay carrots and crushed new potatoes a nice change. The fish and chips was freshly cooked and good portion of fish with crispy batter. Very nice to have alternatives to ususl menu. The plates were warm and the food hot. We were seated quickly and both members of serving staff were extremely friendly.

Come in last week. I hadn't booked. Was told can't go in the restaurant.....bar wait will be at least 45 minutes. It's not what was said but the way I was spoken to. Went home for lunch.

A little dissapointed. Starters, very nice. Two mains, Mushroom Pie and "Lamb Shank Sheppards Pie" This sounded great. First off, the Mushroom Pie contained 3 slices of mushroom and no taste to the pie crust at all. Lamb Shank Sheppards Pie, baked into a minced lamb & veg pie topped with creamy mash with a somerset cheddar crust. This is what I came for. What I got, well talk about a let down. Dish of mash with a shank sat on top, a spoonful of greens on the side and some gravey!! What happened to the minced lamb and veg pie and somerset cheddar. Such a shame as taste wise, mine was OK. Sorry but this was a very poor show for what was supposed to be a lovelly meal out. We did get one meal off the bill at least this was something. Still a dissapointing visit and a non returning customer.

As a Chef and Brewer, it struggles from most things on the menu being delivered. The spinach bubble and squeak, I don't think had seen a frying pan in its life. Overall, it was perfectly acceptable, but nothing special. The staff did kind of forget about us after desert and we had to go hunting for the them, but they were lovely when they were there.

What has happened to the Rose and Crown, this was one a very popular pub serving good food from a lovely menu but not now. Lunch time visit, very poor menu choice, food not very inspiring food ..... and hot food served on COLD plates, plates were cold not tepid or warm but COLD - big let down. Menu choice, food and service not what it was, shall not be returning.

Great service and food. Very proactive over my food allergy.

Always a top pub for a meal out, food is great quality at a reasonable price.

Very nice food and accommodating staff, made for a lovely Sunday lunch

Came in for a quick bite to eat and a drink. Friendly staff and great service. Would recommend

Lovely food, warm and friendly atmosphere. Staff are great! Choice of inside or outside seating. Lovely walks nearby too.

Nice place and area but drinks very expensive

We are regulars and have had various experiences when food has been average to poor but last night I really enjoyed my meal, it was nicely cooked. Dropped 1 star because the pudding wasn't really hot so didn't melt with the sauce & I felt my side salad and fries with my steak was on the small size portion wise. I would however like to say that yesterday the staff were especially fantastic, friendly, efficient and not over baring, I don't know name of my waitress and wish I did because she is brilliant and I would go back just to have her serve me again! Obviously we will be back! Ps please ask them to change the chefs board back! We miss the Korean chicken!!

Had sunday lunch there which was very good then sat outside in the sunshine afterwards. Lovely place.

A good menu with mixed results. The terrine went down a treat as did the duo of chicken and veggie soup. Pork was a wee bit dry and garlic mushrooms were disappointing. Good welcoming service and a lovely place with old beams, though.

Great menu, good service and venue!

Staff were really lovely and tried hard to cater to our dietary requirements.

Lovely food, highly recommend the pork belly, regularly visit

Went there on a Thursday evening and it was pretty busy which says a lot! Delicious food. Both myself and my friend loved it. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the pub itself has a very cosy feel to it. I'm not local but if I were in the area again I'd definitely return and I'd recommend to anyone

Food was lovely and not over priced, sirvice was fast and very friendly

Disappointed - been coming to this pub for a good few years so had it book for a family members birthday. When food came after ordering we were all disappointed to see portions were smaller than usual. A member of the party ordered a cheese & Bacon burger and this had a miniscule amount of cheese in. The fish on the cod dish was rubbery also. Desserts were ordered and came out wrong for 2 family members. One dessert was meant to come with a jug of cream but came out with a jug of custard. It took at least 10mins for a jug of cream to be brought back out. For somewhere that was reliably good for years we had a disappointing visit :(

Great food. 👌 Friendly service. Great atmosphere 👍

Freindly helpful staff. Nothing to much trouble. Food serviced fast for a busy time and always hot.

Food was excellent along with the service.

Not as good as normal. Fathers day menu was disappointing with food only average. Hope this was a one off

One of the best meals we had on our trip and a great find. We booked a late dinner because all the pubs were booked up for father's day so options were limited. We enjoyed every moment and the late table was well worth the wait. The venue is old and beautifully maintained and the staff were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the Sunday roast was incredibly generous. My only complaint is that it is too far for us to visit more often!

Lovely quintessential english pub with the added bonus of having a deceptive amount of dining space. Generour helpings of great British food with good service. If it close to home I'd use it more often.

Lovely rooms and nice beer garden. Nice atmosphere and friendly service.

A really nice pub and lovely waitress. Funny and down to earth.

Stopped here on route back to where we was staying, food was lovely, great charm to the pub, wasn't too busy as midweek. Would highly recommend 👌

An enjoyable meal that was presented quickly and nicely cooked. Staff were friendly and very efficient.

Amazing food, friendly service, no rush to eat and go. Great menu. Book early as often fully booked

Visited Sunday with my Daughter and my nephew. Excellent service by a lovely Bristolian waitress and great food. Good value Charming place

Food is good quality but like everything the cost has gone up that's life

Food was great, lovely pub. Giving it three stars instead of four purely on the basis that they don’t pick up their phone. The line is answered by an automated operator which then transfers you a line that rings off after five minutes. Very irritating.

We knew that we were in trouble when our food arrived two minutes after being ordered and before our drinks from the bar. We both ordered the trio of Roasts and unfortunately the meat tasted stale and the vegetables had no taste at all (almost tasted like they were out of the packet and were complete mush). The roast potatoes were dry and had the texture of being left under a heated lamp all afternoon. We also had to send back our Cauliflower cheese because there was no cheese on it (or it had potentially evaporated) , the replacement cauliflower cheese that was sent back had even less cheese which was a total joke. When we asked about this we were told it was pre made and that there was nothing that could be done. There was also crackling which was so hard that it nearly caused damage to my teeth. The whole plate was also drowned in gravy which had little or no flavour. We paid just she of £45 for two roasts and two soft drinks which considering the food quality was a total rip off. Definitely think again or look for alternatives before booking.

Posting this on behalf of my partner (she can’t currently access her own account) who went for lunch with a friend to this pub on Tuesday, the 21st of May 2024. She’s asked me to confirm that the experience was wonderful and that her and her friend had a very enjoyable lunch date. They both had the garlic mushrooms to start, the chicken burger for mains and a mini pudding and hot drink to finish. The food was beautifully cooked, very tasty and was great value for money. Also she said that all members of staff that she encountered were very friendly and helpful. She’s definitely coming back for another chicken burger!! 😋 5 🌟 and highly recommended.

A very old coaching inn; low ceilings and old oak beams. The decor is nice. The staff are always smiley. The menu changes with the seasons and there are always specials. The portion sizes are big. The food is on the better side of "pub grub". You know what to expect and thats why we go back. The Sunday Roasts are good.

Food was excellent, very reasonable, staff were attentive and friendly, lots of parking

Not the cheapest but excellent food.

First time here in many years - it was the place we always used to stop on the way back from holiday. Nice little pub. Dropped in for Sunday lunch. We ordered the roast rib of beef and turkey lunches. Overall, very nice and well cooked. Roast potatoes could have been better - tempted to say that cooked from frozen, but not sure. Everything else was very good.

Excellent meal and the waitress was amazing.nothing was too much trouble

Best of the 3 Chef and Brewer pubs in the area for Sunday lunch.

Nice little low ceiling pub with a big car park. Food was tasty and excellent value for money.

Every time I have visited this place it is out of necessity as other pubs shut, staff are not welcoming or friendly and I have felt like it is not a place for ‘non-locals’

Lovely varied menu. Delicious food.

Great service. Great food. Great menu. Definitely a place to go.

Came here for a works birthday outing the other week. Little choice on menu for a light lunch. Was told the cheese toastie was not available unfortunately so went for the fishcake dish which was basically a small fishcake with some lettuce leaves which I paid nearly a tenner for and it was okay but would have liked two if I'm honest. My work colleagues mainly had burgers which I believe they enjoyed. I will come back for an evening meal in the future with my partner and family

Lovely food great pub friendly staff

So we went for a roast on the Sunday and oh my the it was delicious! I went for the beef sirloin and it was bloody lovely! Fast service really nice staff and a great location. Even went on a walk in the wick nature reserve down the road after so overall a lovely experience.

I had a meal to celebrate the 80th Birthday of a relative. We were a group of 13 people and it was very enjoyable. The food was nice.

Had a brilliant bacon and cheese burger with fries and onion rings

Wonderful, we popped in as a group of 6 on the off chance we could dine. We were welcomed with open arms, sat and served.. Food was amazing apart from one small hiccup that was sorted immediately.. Excellent service, from lovely staff . Definitely recommend, and we will definitely be back

If you're old or young, then the portions make sense. If you're a hungry adult, good luck. Menu sounds great but food is uninspiring and typical chain pub microwave food.

Emma served our family of 4 this Sunday evening (2 adults and 2 teens) and was lovely, very attentive and helpful. Really great service. Food was generally pretty good, meal on my roast a bit fatty but otherwise all meals were fine.

This has become one of our favourite places for eating out. I haven't had a bad experience until Sunday. I had a roast when it came out it had a lot of gravy on it. I was unable to eat it it was very salty. I think it was the gravy. It made me feel unwell. i didn't want to make a fuss. The waitress looked confused that I had left so much. My desert I couldn't eat, so I took it home.

Great old pub. Decent food. Good drinks and food menu

This takes some beating! Food service and ambience amazing!

I have been to The Rose and Crown quite a number of times over the years for lunch and evening meals. This time I went there with my daughters for brunch but left rather disappointed. The smoked salmon on sourdough was spoiled by the poached eggs being undercooked and slimy. My daughters cooked breakfasts were served with toast that was still white and with no butter. The baked beans had a "film" on the top like they had been sitting around a while. The avocado on the vegetarian breakfast looked nothing like avocado - more like plastic - and tasted soggy and sour. The vegetarian sausages were grey with no colour whatsoever. All in all a poor experience. I will go there again for meals at other times of day in the future but won't be rushing back for brunch.

Mother's day set menu. Very good value. Well worth the visit

Food was very good, but served on cold plates (which I mentioned, had to ask for the response). Service was slow, almost left after waiting for sweet menu.

We have been eating at Rose and Crown for the last 8 years and have never had a bad experience. Unfortunately today was the first time that we had a bad experience with the service. The waitress (short dark hair) was quite rude and abrupt with us. My friends asked for some water and she rudely exclaimed that there is some already on the table ( the bottle was nearly empty). My friend felt bad and didn't say anything at the time. I was very disappointed with the people skills this specific lady has and would advise that she receives some training in being hospitable.

Great food friendly staff very good service

Great 1600’s pub with loads of charm

Excellent Sunday lunch here at the Rose and Crown in Wick , food was absolutely wonderful and as was the service , I know things are getting expensive , but the value for money here was well worth the visit , fantastic Sunday lunch and a excellent reason to visit again !

Popped in for a spot of lunch and had the Chicken BLT. Certainly lovely. The bread was warm, soft and toasty with a bit of salad and a good volume of chips.

One of the best local pubs around with great traditional food

Good well priced food can't go wrong.

My family and I went for a Sunday lunch at the Rose and Crown, I can honestly say this is now our favourite pub to have a family meal at. The roasts were amazing and the service was the best I have come across in a long time. I believe our member of staff was Emma who made the whole experience a pleasure with conversation and recommendations on the menu. We will absolutely go back again.

My Wife took my mother out for lunch today and whilst the food and atmosphere was very good I must give comment to the poor automated phone line. I tried to call and pay the bill as a surprise for my wife and mother yet calling 9 times during a 45 minute period and all one could get is Clare - an automated service transferring me to someone who could help........ but no answer. I gave many different reasons to speak to someone (including a need to make a large party booking) and in all cases failed miserably. Big shame as nice venue, nice food yet maybe missing out on business due to Clare - automated phone system that clearly does not work.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and open fire ,,, decent prices, never had a bad meal here so would definitely recommend Really beautiful old pub,,, if u are tall, duck , some seriously low old beams

Food was ok, fair price, menu sounded better than the results. Service was good and very friendly. Place quite quiet for a Saturday with only a few in gone 10pm and they are drinkers who had a couple too many.

Thank you Emma. Great service and lovely food. My mum me and my sister had a fabulous birthday celebration. We will be back.

Poor service. Turned up on door and got refused. Was only two of us on our motorbikes and could see plenty of tables available with plenty of time until kitchen closed. Looked up reviews before hand hence choosing here on our way. We just wanted to have a meal each/ some warm food and drink to warm up as it was cold and be on our way within an hour. However we were quite abruptly told no tables. Won’t recommend coming here.

The only place I like to eat. No where matches up to the Rose and Crown. Any where else would be second best

This has always been a popular pub, a proper old coaching Inn on the old main Bristol to Chippenhm Road. The interior boasts inglenook fireplace with burner, lots of nooks and crannies and very low beams! Anyone over 5' 4" will need to duck...a lot. However the charm is matched by extensive and reasonably priced menu, friendly service and great range of drinks. I recommend booking though, especially at weekends!

Great service and great food. Emma was our server and she was lovely and very attentive. Enjoyed our visit. Probably could have done with more gravy but I’m sure if we had asked then we would have been given it. The main and desert menu were hard to choose from as there were many good options

Love it here food lush staff really friendly

Welcomed by Emma who was extremely friendly and polite. We ordered Sunday roasts which were delious. We have been several times before and thd standards are always high. Each time Emma has been our waitress and each time her customer service has been excellent. Today she had to scandals my tesco vouchers which she did with a smile.

Such a disappointment - had the fish and chips - fish very wet (maybe cooked from frozen?) making the batter wet and soggy. But that was not the worst part - it was deep fried in old stale oil imparting an unpleasant flavour to the fish, which kept repeating all evening. Such a simple mistake - so why was it allowed to happen? Could have been so good but will think twice about returning.

Always pop in on way back from London exceptional service food every time mon to Fri

Lovely and quaint local pub in Wick, with a great selection of food options, we received a nice welcome and the service was excellent, particularly to Emma our waitress who was friendly and attentive throughout our meal, highly recommend this charming pub!

Lovely birthday meal, lovely food & great service

the food was expensive and portions were very small. had to have a couple of bit of toast after spending £17 on a main meal :(

Absolutely smashing meal and better bluelight discount

Lovely little pub with good, tasty food at a reasonable price service was excellent they managed to find us a table on a busy night even though we hadn't booked 👏

A grand village pub well worth a visit. Their restaurant is more fine dining than rustic grub and they accept Tesco vouchers. This is a good place to bring the family. Update 2023: it's as lovely as ever - the wonderful staff make all the difference.

Boxing Day lunch of roasted turkey, with starter and dessert, were all excellent! The best turkey meat I have ever eaten. Friendly and attentive staff made this a lovely festive meal for four. Thank you.

We visited for Christmas Day Lunch. From start to finish it was just perfect, lovely service and an outstanding meal. I would not hesitate to visit again.

Visited today at lunch time 23/12/23 the food was excellent the service was excellent as well would recommend to anyone.

Nice atmosphere, service was ok. The worst is the core business, drinks and food. Somewhat reduced choice of ales, just mainstream ones, mediocre food. We had a steak pie with very little meat inside and a very bland gravy. The accompanying roasted potatoes were so bad we couldn't finish them (and we have been grieving since then because we had to leave them behind...a first for us). The other meal was the keralan chickpeas curry, also very bland, tasted like a microwaved frozen ready meal. We won't come back.

Went for the Breakfast with Santa. Food was good but the Santa experience was awful! Present was not age appropriate so my daughter was left very disappointed with a book that was for a toddler. We approached Santa who was sitting at a table in the bar area. He held out a bag and just said pick one and that was it. No sitting down or getting asked what she might want for Christmas. My daughter has been looking forward to her breakfast with Santa but ended up being very disappointed.
