The Rose and Crown Inn in Cheshire East - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We stopped here after a walk in the peaks on a chilly late afternoon without booking and managed to get a table, which we were very pleased about. It was a very cozy little pub. We got seated outside in a room at the back, service started off well, but then it did feel as though we were a bit forgotten about towards the end as we waited quite a while for our plates to be cleared. Food was nice, we both opted for a roast dinner, tasted nice, veg was just boiled. Dessert your average pub grub but still nice. I’d probably score it more a 3.5 if it had the option, as food was good but I usually have higher standards for a roast dinner, but it was nice just not to be the one cooking it for a change.

We'd been away and where else to end a lovely weekend other than at the Rose and Crown. My other half often mentions their cheese pie and on this occasion, I plumped for the steak pie. We hadn't booked so called them last minute around 4pm and we were in luck. Relaxed ambience, great view from our table at the window. Food is pub 'fine dining' really, everything is home cooked and the chips were delicious. Nice bottle of Red, well priced. Chat with the landlady, Luda, when settling up, what a character, always makes me chuckle. I WILL try and manage a dessert next time. Perfect evening. Back soon.

What a lucky find, we were on our way to Anglesey and stopped for lunch. Very friendly, great menu and excellent food. Welcomed our two Westies too. Definitely one to visit again but not on our way back as not open on Tuesday.

A lovely drive to this beautiful, friendly, traditional, country pub. Fabulous, elevated, set back from the road garden if you want to sit out. A great menu with a mixture of British and Mediterranean pub food. All our 7 starters and dinners were fantastic. Freshly cooked to order, good sized portions. The landlady was lovely and made us very welcome. Highly recommended. ** Note: Pub open, though Bosley crossroads junction was closed when we visited in late July. We went via Byrons Lane, off the A523. **

What a delightful pub, like a previous reviewer we had got lost in the shadow of the Raches, which made the approach even more spectacular The welcome was friendly, immediate and heartfelt. The fixed and daily special board menus were choc a bloc with appealing choices. We both started with a prawn and crayfish cocktail - an absolute delight My wife passed on the main course, and I chose the Pork belly and black pudding tower - an enormous flavourful plate of good old-fashioned comfort food. We had arrived with good intentions about not having dessert but when the list of homemade desserts was read out to us we both capitulated with our choices of Lemon parfain and fruit crumble. these again were amazing We left feeling comfortably full and absolutely delighted by the quality of the food we had eaten Do visit and prepare to be delighted

Excellent service, lovely food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Overall an enjoyable experience. Privately owned free house not an anomynous chain.

We went for a Sunday lunch. Booking was easy on arrival we were met by friendly staff. The menu was very good. So good we had three courses all delicious. The atmosphere was very good and the surrounding very pleasant. Overall an excellent experience.

All the food, Ham hock and rabbit pie, John Dory with a prawn sauce , and whitebait were excellent. The service and greeting were super.

Lovely traditional country pub, perfect for the end of our walk, friendly and lots of choice, we had pies and they were exceptional, absolutely full of beautifully cooked meat

Lovely country pub set within the rolling hills of the Peak District. Traditional decor. Delicious food. Luda is a hoot.

Popped here Saturday afternoon and was surprised to find such a lovely large beer garden out the back with fantastic views from the elevated position. We only popped in to have a wine or two whilst out cycling but after seeing the specials board and the menu we decided to have something to eat. We had the mussels and the smoked salmon and crayfish starters both fantastic and very good portion size and lovely (what looked like homemade bread) bread to mop up the sauce with. I then had the fillet steak wellington which was delicious. Really nice house white Sauvignon Blanc which was excellent with the seafood. Very dog friendly also would highly recommend

What a gem of a place, I feel that I should not write about this wonderful inn as I want to go back and I don’t want it to be fully booked😩 Lovely hosts Ian and Luda thank you for a lovely stay, your food and hospitality was amazing lovely garden and views and beer, what more could you ask for I would highly recommend this inn. Again thank you both, Alan&Karen.

Proper country pub, friendly welcoming staff, great beer and proper home cooked delicious food. The steak and ale pie was melt in your mouth tender with a thick rich gravy filling, the pastry crust home made. The creamy rabbit and ham hock pie was tender and well seasoned. We finished with rhubarb crumble, bread and butter pud both accompanied by home made custard.

Actually, we stopped here on our way through only because my little daughter had an urgent need to see a bathroom. BUT what a stroke of luck: We are German tourists and can't praise English pub culture enough. And the Rose and Crown was pub heaven for us. A great location, a wonderful house, a very friendly welcome. The lady behind the counter served us with a smile, had kind words for everyone and made us feel very welcome. Only drama: we arrived outside of kitchen hours, so we were able to admire the terrific daily menu - but the kitchen was closed. What a string of wonderful dishes was written there. We briefly considered staying until evening to try everything - but we had to move on. Really a pity! But this pub alone is reason enough to come to the Peak District again. Then we stay here for a week and feed us from top to bottom through the map! Thanks for a nice afternoon, a real recommendation!

The soup was excellent. The chips and mushy peas were just about adequate. The fish was tasteless apart from the rather nasty cooking oil in the batter, so left it all. Not good value.

Great country pub. Wonderful service from all the staff. The food is excellent - chef and his team clearly work very hard at this.

One of our favourite restaurants including those abroad. The food is exceptional and well worth the cost. Great selection and always with huge amount of specials which is different every visit. Really welcoming and eccentric owner who is always a delight.

Very friendly welcome. Lovely atmosphere. Staff and owners were very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. We ordered goats cheese and soup starters. Looked amazing. Nice and hot and stayed that way. Tasted unbelievable. Ordered rabbit and ham hock pie and cheese and onion pie. Literally everything homemade and presented beautifully. So much effort into presentation ( rabbit added to pie crust, carrots cut into flowers) Once again, tasted amazing, stayed nice and hot throughout. Portion size was perfect. Pies were full of filling. Was devested I was too full to get a dessert, but we will definitely be back. Value for money as less than £60 for 2x 2 course meals and 4 drinks. Honestly the best food I've ever eaten.

Called into the pub today after a walk. Really cosy welcoming place and the food was superb. The best meal we have had in a long time. My son had the Pheasant and I had the pork belly stack, we shared an apple crumble for desert, so light and tasty. cannot recommend enough.

As always the food was very nice, just let itself down by not having enough staff when the place was packed

This pub was everything we hoped to find in the countryside! The setting warm & cosy, with most lovely view. The food was the best a pub could get with homemade ice cream which I can’t wait to taste again! We felt very welcome &...

Absolute lovely little find. Great menu. Superb food. 5 adults, 5 different meals ordered, all fantastic.

Rabbit and ham hock pie was exceptional. Great local ales too. Definitely will return in the future.

Outstanding Sunday lunch as always, fabulous location and certainly not over priced. Will be here again very soon.

Mediocre Sunday lunch - thinly sliced lamb and just one small bowl of veg to share between 4 people! We asked for more veg, but just got an even smaller bowl. Very overpriced. Expensive desserts. Not given menus with prices on. Had to stand in...

Extremely rude lady behind the bar who ignored us at first and when we asked if there was a free table for us replied “absolutely not” and walked away. Certainly won’t be returning.

A mixed review. I’ll start with the good points the food is amazing and would return purely for the food itself! But to be welcomed to being told they don’t allow children after 7 when we specifically told them kids were coming, told are kids...

We only intended to have a couple of drinks, having had a pretty hefty lunch, but the chef’s wife (they own the place), possesses great powers of persuasion, so we had a couple of starters. My wife had the whitebait, and I had the prawn...

What a find! This pub does really good homemade food. Pies are excellent! nothing is bought in which is so rare these days. Very welcoming and we will definitely be returning with friends.

Lovely place, in a wonderful location. Worth driving out to experience the place. The staff were very attentive and extremely friendly which seems quite rare nowerdays. The landlady was really friendly and chatted to us about the history of the place and provided some good...

We dropped in on the off chance with no booking on a Sunday lunchtime - possibly not the best strategy but a table was found and the rest is history. Great, friendly and helpful service, fantastic food - we both had the rabbit and ham...

We arrived without booking and they were obviously busy but they squeezed us in. One waitress in particular was really kind and attentive. The food was excellent- really lovely flavours and combinations.

A great choice of imaginative dishes, wonderfully cooked by Ian......Service was professionally provided by the bouncy Siobhan and of course Luda making sure all is well with her grateful customers...The best pub restaurant atmosphere in the region!

The views around this pub restaurant make it worth the visit before you even get indoors. The lamb on spring onion mash we had was the softest, most tender, succulent meat I have eaten - absolutely delicious. Generous size portions meant we couldn't manage desserts,...

Waited to have one of these for ages, and wow it was well worth the wait. Superbly cooked it was absolutely divine.

Stumbled across this little place this afternoon it was absolutely fabulous. Roaring fires in each room lovely atmosphere and the food is to die for. Unbelievable roast dinners couldn’t fault a single thing. Will defiantly be returning so Thank you !

Quaint and cosy country pub in a beautiful setting. The best Sunday roast I’ve ever had, simple as that. The pork and ham were sublime and everything on the plate was delicious. Good ale to accompany the dish too. Will return for sure!

Well worth the trek to this lovely place located in the country hill side. The food as always simply outstanding. Sunday roast dinners are right on the top table of quality food in this or any area.

Stayed at the hotel gradbach mill a couple of miles from this pub, the food was amazing and the service was also would deffinately recommend to anybody. The rabbit ham hock pie was to die for will definitely be going back my partner had the...

6 of us visited after a walk in the peaks and couldn't recommend it more. Food was incredible, staff were great and great value. Will 100% be back again.

Came here for a evening meal as we were staying in Rainow for the week. Lovely atmosphere and excellent food. We all commented about how nice all of our dishes were. Definitely recommend!

Everything was stunning. We called in on the off chance after a shopping session at Arighi Bianchi down in Macclesfield. Literally everything is home-made - and you can’t half tell. Two of us had the pate on toast for starter ... homemade pate, homemade bread,...

we visited here today following a recommendation from a friend You will not be disappointed The staff are really friendly the views from the pub are stunning but the food is absolutely delicous I had the beef and my partner had the lamb the beef just melted in my mouth and the other half said the lamb was yummy It is all homecooked and super tasty yummy big Yorkshire puds and a very good selection of fresh vegetables We have been trying to find somewhere for a super Sunday dinner for a while and I think we may of found it Definitely worth every penny and will be visiting again very soon

My daughter held her (COVID-compliant) wedding celebration at the Rose and Crown. The food was amazing - the Longhorn beef was done to a tee.Great venue and great location - the beer garden has a view across Cheshire.Many thanks to Luda and Ian for such a fabulous day.And the gents has one of the best views especially at sunset.

Our first time at the Rose and Crown. I had the rabbit and hock pie which appears to be flavour of the month, which was more like flavour of the year, one of the nicest pies I’ve ever had. My wife had the chicken which was equally impressive. Lovely place, great hosts and fab food. First time definitely not the last.

Rose and Crown at Allgreave,nr Macclesfield has got to he one of the best pub eateries within miles and miles and with home-cooked food to die for.

Came for Sunday lunch on 9th August with family. My father-in-law (Bryan) is a regular and has been reccomending this place for ages and I finally got to go with him. I was not disappointed. The staff and owners are lovely, the pub is quaint and in a perfect setting but the food... oh my, the food is amazing. I had the Rabbit and Ham Hock pie and can honestly say it's the best pie I have ever had. I was so close to ordering another one instead of dessert, but instead opted for the bakewell tart... which was equally as good. Highly reccomended and in my opinion should be the number one place to eat in Cheshire! Cannot wait to return.

Very welcoming pub - warm open fires were very welcome on a cold, blustery Sunday. Landlady made us very welcome, including my sister and brother-in-law’s dog, who enjoyed the dog biscuits he was offered. All the staff were very pleasant as well. We had an excellent Sunday lunch, the roast lamb was very tasty, with roast potatoes and parsnips and a good variety of other vegetables. Desserts were delicious. Will definitely come again if we are in this part of the world and will recommend to friends who may be in the area. Thank you - it made this Sunday special.

Went for a country drive a couple of weeks ago and called in for lunch.Car park at rear looked empty so nearly didn’t go in but glad we did.Cold and windy outside but warm and welcoming inside.There were three fires lit and the girl behind the bar was warm and friendly as well.We plonked down on nice comfy settee in front of roaring fire to have our drinks and read the newspapers provided.Decided to stay for lunch Good Menu I had the fish and chip special and my wife had the steak pie both excellent I then had the warm Bakewell Tart which was superb.Staff nice and attentive Landlady nice and chattyHeartily RecommendPeter Bray

We came on Saturday as we are holidaying up here, so we decided to visit again, love and warm and welcoming the landlady is very friendly. We shared the cod and chips, moist tasty fish and tasty chips all home made, and the chicken supreme au poivre which we also had on Saturday as it was so good! Then we shared a scrumptious spotted dick and it was cooked in the traditional way with custard and ice cream and fresh fruit,

Needing a meeting place mid-way between us and our daughter, found this pub on the web. Hard work to get to from the Macclesfield direction with typical Peaks winding road s up and down hills, the drive was worthwhile.We chose to arrive at 4pm with a reserved table and entered a warm, friendly traditional bar. The staff were all friendly despite being busy. Drinks arrived promptly and we chose a variety of meals. The portions were Jekyll and Hyde, with the starters and desserts of an adequate but not over-generous size, with the main courses leaning towards the "can I have a doggy bag" portions.We all had whitebait for starters - well cooked, with some salad. Beef and lamb roasts were declared excellent and the mushroom risotto disappeared at speed into the veggie. I had the pheasant pot roast - wonderful flavours, lots of bird with vegetables hiding underneath. While it was shear greed, three of us had the home made sponge pudding with honey sauce and honeycomb ice-cream; a light ginger flavour made it perfect.Chatty friendly ladies, a return trip beckons

It was only when I rang to try and reserve a table for Sunday lunch that I discovered the owners used to have The Hanging Gate. I understood the chef worked there but that's all I knew. Anyway I recognised the lady's voice, she is a real character. Apparently they took on the pub in a state of disrepair but now it's a warm cosy pub with a vibrant atmosphere.We all had the roast lamb which came with a nice Yorkshire pudding and good vegetables. We sat by the log fire, just being made again and really enjoyed the experience.The service was excellent and we'll be back soon for sure.

Visited here for a friend’s birthday lunch. We have passed the inn many times but never eaten there. We were the only six guests....it is the middle of winter.....but another couple came to dine later. We were made very welcome and were amazed at the extensive menu. There was something for everyone including a very fussy eater. The daily specials board included several mouth watering dishes, this was in the bar area away from the restaurant itself. I opted for the rabbit and ham hock pie which was superb. Treacle Parkin to follow and I was in seventh heaven. The young lady who looked after us was great, nothing was too much trouble and she was very helpful. We managed to thank the chef personally for an excellent lunch, everything was home cooked to perfection.Prices are mid range, we all felt the food was value for the money. We will certainly return as soon as possible.

6 adults 2 kids and 2 dogs had been for a walk at Luds Church and decided we would try and find a bite to eat on the way home. We called in on the off chance of there being a table free on Sunday afternoon to our surprise they made room for us in the back.The Staff were friendly and helpful.I had a Beef Sunday Dinner which was great the meat was fantastic and the gravy was even better.Others had Pie and Chips, we complained there wasn't a lot of chips so they brought us some more without any hesitation. Everyone in our party really enjoyed their meals and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Overall a lovely country pub and a great Sunday dinner.

A great place to eat after a walk to Lud’s Church just down the road. Food was delicious and the menu interesting. Log fires, cosy tables and stunning views add to the charm.

No matter whats on the menu the food is absolutely dive. We had rack of lamb (again). What can i say other thank thank you

We were local to the area and looking for an evening meal on New Years Day and having read some of the reviews we thought we'd give the Rose and Crown a go. After driving through the cold, dark and foggy Peak District to the pub we were greeted by an open fire and a festive decorated pub, much needed. We skipped starters and went straight for the mains where we had the lamb, steak and ale pie and childrens fish and chips. All meals were cooked to perfection, were delicious and were good portions too. After the mains we ordered desserts, which were made up of home made lemon ice cream and bakewell tarts, again all fantastic.I can't recommend the food enough in this establishment and will definitely be returning, many thanks.

What a great surprise, one of the best lunches I've had for years, starter, main and dessert were all excellent. A beautiful inn that has been totally refurbished but kept true to its origins as a coaching inn on the road between Congleton and Buxton. Will be definitely going again.

No complaints about this Saturday lunch after a morning walk with friends. The food is superior pub food but unpretentious and served well. The beer was good too. It's a traditional pub setting, with roaring fires. All in all very good

Always eaten well here but our last meal was so good I didn't want it to end! Magret of duck served sliced with a crisp pastry tartlet of sour apple to complement the rich sauce. Afterwards I enjoyed a superb bread & butter pudding served surrounded by a sauce Anglaise that could never be described as custard in a million years. Just wonderful

I stayed here with my son on a weekend's adventure in the Peak District. Our first day walking was cold and wet and so it was lovely to get to the Rose and Crown and we were met with a smile by the landlady who showed us to our room and made us feel very welcome. We then ventured down into the pub and had the most glorious range of wonderful food to choose from. Both feeling adventurous my son chose the Pheasant and I chose the Ham Hock and Rabbit Pie. Both meals were so wonderful and we enjoyed the warmth of a old English pub with open fires and lovely local ales. If we are ever adventuring again in the Peak District we will undoubtedly return.

As a family we have eaten here a dozen or so times, and we've yet to have a poor meal. Luda always makes us welcome, the food and beer is always excellent, and the homely feel of the Rose and Crown is hard to beat.
