The Rose And Crown Welwyn Village in Welwyn Hatfield

Ate and drank at the Rose & Crown on 13.05.24. Really friendly staff who clearly put in lots of effort. Guinness was well above average - a very decent pint. The food was not memorable, but OK. I wouldn't travel purely for the food but the overall experience was positive.

Jacket potato I had was lovely lots of filling

Service and place was nice but food was disappointing. One dish was burnt and over cooked so had to go back, bread with extremely toasted for dipping oil so didn't work. Some dishes very nice but not enough to want to return.

4 of us went for lunch. I thought it was expensive for pub. I had a salad it was nice. But I wouldn't go back as it's beyond my budget.

Was here for a party at The Barn behind the pub so great atmosphere didn't actually try the pub itself Update. Wow fantastic pub with great food and well kept beer. Very popular so recommend booking. 100% worth a visit

Went there for a drink and ended up having dinner. Friendly staff, nice food, really nice pub

A delicious lunch and excellent service. We would definitely return

Sorry Rose and Crown - staff and service was very good for this Mothers Day but ..food not so.we were in early so thought foid should be hot ! Mine was scampi- chips poor peas cold and not cooked. My son had the veggie roast - looked good but potatoes weren't nice and some veggie burnt 😒

Great pub food and good friendly service. The coffee fudge crème brûlée was to die for! Quiz was great fun, well organised and a good range of questions. A lovely atmosphere

Lovely food and atmosphere. We were a large party and so had pre- ordered and everything was as expected, great communication and service.

Lovely family celebration; great food, service and atmosphere. We were a large party and so had pre- ordered and everything was as expected. Excellent communication with the team. Would highly recommend.

A lovely pub with good food and service

Lovely pub. Called in after a walk with a friend. Staff were hugely friendly and welcoming.

Friendly atmosphere, delicious food, five stars!

Lovely little pub. Food and service always lovely.

This is the first time we've eaten here since the new owners, Christine and Jeremy took over. The pub was packed, but had a fantastic atmosphere. The food was the most impressive thing though...clearly, they have a great kitchen team, as the food was hot, plentiful, interesting and delicious. Oh, and really good value for money.

Lovely olde worlde place with great atmosphere

Lovely pub and excellent food. Staff are very friendly and informative

Very poor quality food. Old trimmings in the roast dinner. Absolutely no service. Cold place. Given a tiny table for a large group Quantity over quality

Baguette wasn't great. Minimal brie and too much cranberry. Lots of bacon. Chips nice. Personal preference aside not a fan of pickled coleslaw Staff friendly and helpful

Very nice place for food or a couple of pints 👍

Absolutely beautiful place. Had a surprise birthday party there organised by my family. Fantastic place. Everybody loved it!

I had my 30th party at the barn which is situated at the back of the pub. It's a scary thing to put your trust into a venue that will host a big celebration, but I can say without hesitation that management and bar staff were amazing through the whole process, from being quick at responding, catering to my needs and just overal helpfulness and politeness. The bar girls on the night couldn't do enough for us all! The venue itself is beautiful, its perfect for 50-70 guests and it has a very cosy and warm vibe, with art on the walls and fairy lights. Parking on the street is free after 6.30pm outside the pub. The venue hire is extremely good value for money compared to other venues that in my opinion are not as nice. A great time was had by all and a few of my guests have already commented that they would 100% hire the barn for an event themselves in the future. Thank you so much to Christine, Liz and the team!

'Nice enough ' lunch. Attentive service. Chicken caesar salad good. BLT salty. Rhubarb crumble a no no although custard okay.

Absolutely brilliant- unlike any other pub today. Popular, busy, buzz, and authentic ambience

We went for a Sunday roast with friends who had been before. What a dreadful meal we had. 3 attempts and still wrong. 1st time 2 meals got served up incorrectly,so the waitress took all 4 meals away. Eventually returned the 4 meals, and we called her over and told her the meals are cold,to which she asked what did we want!!! If could have a hot dinner,she took the meals away and 20minutes later we got our meals back and guess what!! Still cold. We called the waitress over and said these are still cold, which she replied,what do you want me to do !!! I can get you hot gravy as I don't know what else you want,so we got hot gravy, not the answer. We then had the offer of a pudding or 20% discount,we took the latter as we all felt very awkward. What we do not understand is why we witnessed other people being served piping hot roast dinners with the steam coming off them, how could the chef not get ours right. Will we return NO would we recommend Definitely NOT and what a shame.

Daughter's wedding and excellent service 👌

We hired The Barn last Friday for a 40th anniversary. Absolutely perfect , all the team working there, the location , decoration etc . Highly recommended.

I was there for the power bank rent lol

We had our wedding reception at the barn the Saturday just gone and it was amazing, it was set up exactly how we wanted which took a lot of stress out of our day. Christine and her team could not have done more for us, from start to finish it was just perfect. I could not recommend this place any more even if I tried. It will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you guys so much.

I’m not sure I can write a review that does our experience at The Barn justice. We held our wedding celebration here and are just chuffed to have found it. Firstly, the food was amazing, it went down a treat and our guests have said how good it was. We had day and evening food and both were spot on. The venue is beautiful, a barn with character, exactly what we were looking for. The barn itself has been done so nicely we found that minimal decoration was needed. Christine and her team went above and beyond. Christine was easy to contact and was always able to offer advice without ever being pushy. The barn was set up perfectly on the day. Everything ran seamlessly and we never had to worry, meaning we could just enjoy our day. I would highly recommend using The Barn for an event. We couldn’t have asked for anymore, they helped make our day perfect.

Just wanted to say thank you to Christine and the team for looking after us so well for our graduation party! Communication was great, service was great and it was just the perfect venue for our family to celebrate.

This is a review more specifically of The Barn at The Rose and Crown, which is a venue situated at the back of pub in their beautiful courtyard. Last weekend my husband and I had our wedding there, and it was absolutely faultless from start to finish. Christine, one of the managers, had guided us through the planning for months. Her previous career was as a wedding planner, which was invaluable. She is incredibly organised and reliable. The team at the pub are also brilliant, and they catered for our every wish. Christine's attention to detail is remarkable, and she ensured the day ran faultlessly, smoothly and brilliantly. Jeremy, the other manager works tirelessly too, and he also happens to be a fantastic bloke! Praise must also be given to Liz, who now runs The Barn as a venue. All their work is so discreet yet efficient. As a guest, you never see the hard graft going on behind the scenes to make your event run perfectly. The Barn itself is a beautiful place, suitable for any occasion, and it was simply perfect for our wedding. It's relaxed and informal, yet chic and stylish. The garden area at the back is glorious, and as the daylight fades the festoon lights sparkle above the tables. This area is open to regular drinkers when there is no private event at The Barn, so it can usually be enjoyed by everyone. The Rose and Crown team allowed us to personalise our buffet menu for our guests, which was amazing. Matt the chef did an incredible job catering for our 70 friends and family. Everyone just loved the food, it was gorgeous! We cannot thank the team at The Rose and Crown enough for giving us the most perfect wedding we could have ever wished for. I would encourage anyone local looking for a venue for any event to check out this gorgeous place. You are in impeccable hands. Add to all of this a delightful, traditional and cosy pub at the front, which we often visit just for a casual drink or bite to eat. Christine and Jeremy have really brought the pub to life in the last 3 years, and they deserve every credit and accolade they hopefully receive for their remarkable and hard work. Thank you guys, we love you and your fabulous pub!

Only popped in for a drink, but it's a nice pub and friendly staff

Amazing day today celebrating my parents 60th wedding anniversary. The Rose and Crown could not have done any more with great food, service and a smile. Thank you, so very much Mrs and Mrs Webster special thanks to Sophie who looked after us all xx also recommend Chloe’s cakes who made our cake.

Not dined here yet although the food looks top notch. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Great pub to watch the world go bye on a rainy weekend afternoon while sipping a lovely Malbec

An incredible change from before the renovations. Lovely staff and atmosphere.

Just called in for a quick Shandy each in the afternoon. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The pub is very nice inside and has loads of outdoor seating. We had intended to return for a meal in the evening but unfortunately did not get back in time. It will be top priority next time we are in the area.

Love it, our friends live round the corner, great beer, great food, lovely staff & a great atmosphere, nice garden too

A warm and friendly village pub with a great selection of drinks. The food really lets this place down though.

The Rose and Crown facilitated a corporate business meeting for myself and colleagues. Communication with the Rose and Crown team was fantastic and booking was easy with all our requirements catered for. The day ran smoothly- fantastic refreshments and lunch. Our dedicated staff member Rosie went above and beyond throughout the day and ensured all our needs were catered for. A lovely location, easy parking, friendly and professional staff, great service and fantastic food. Would highly recommend for corporate and social events.

Gorgeous pub with a lovely garden. We arrived after checking the menu online - looking forward to a fish goujon sandwich. Unfortunately the sandwich had been recently taken off the menu. One of the lovely staff, Rosie, went and spoke to the chef who then made us the sandwich anyway - talk about amazing customer service! The sandwich was amazing too, just what we needed. We were also really impressed with the amount of alcohol free options the bar offered, very inclusive! All in all a brilliant visit with lovely, friendly staff. If we lived closer, this would definitely be our new local 🤩

Lovely village pub with a good choice of beer. Plenty of seating both inside and out. Didn't have food ourselves but saw what looked like good decent pub food going to other people. Dog friendly, with water available for pooches. Nice place , cheers pub people

Myself & Fiancé booked an outside pod for lunch. It was a scorching hot day and never been before didn’t know if tables had umbrellas so booked the pod thinking it would shade us. Once we arrived we sat in the pod which was lovely an private but as it was so hot we didn’t get much of a breeze so it was quite stuffy. There was an empty table with umbrellas so decided to sit there instead which wasn’t a problem and had a lovely breeze. The service was good, the food was good but i think £25 for the platter was a bit pricey for what you got. Jacket potato was nice. Nice garden, nice surroundings. Would definitely return to try different things on the menu.

A great catch up with friends for lunch and food presentation was good. The mains chosen were southern fried chicken burgers with fries ,Grilled chicken fillet with fries,corn,BBQ beans and a jacket potato with cheese and beans. Drinks ordered were white wine,Gluten free beer and a lager. Service was friendly. Food was tasty.

This pub is an amazing find. Their attention to detail is wonderful. The customer service is warm and just super efficient. The food was outstanding. Fresh and beautifully seasoned dishes. And OMG the desserts are just heavenly. A beautiful gem worthy of Michelin stars. The atmosphere is warm and lovely. You guys just got everything perfect.

It was very busy. The service was good. Fully explained the waiting time for food and it came out roughly at the time they said it would, but the quality of food was poor. I think the kitchen was overwhelmed and couldn't handle the amount of food that had to be served.

this is one of my local pubs and its great all-roind for reasonable price food, and / or a few drinks.

Booked a table for lunch on Father’s Day. Busy little pub but staff were lovely and efficient. The Sunday roast was wonderful. Beef fell apart and tasted delicious. The broccoli cheese needs improvement. But for a Sunday lunch it was one of the best I’ve had in the area. Partner had scampi and chips. The chips were meh- Nothing special at all. The kids dessert- the dessert factory. What an excellent idea. They absolutely loved it and a massive portion per child. All in all we will definitely be back for another wonderful Sunday lunch. It didn’t disappoint

Went on a sunny Saturday evening. Menu a bit limited but everything we had was delicious! I've been told the Sunday roast is amazing so planning on that next!

Ramblin' through Welwyn, came across this lovely place. Great staff, good beer selection, and a large comfortable beer garden.

Pub Grub but better quality than many.

Rosie fitted us in at very short notice today. 10 adults 3 children aged under 4. We had a lovely dinner and she gave us great service. All food came out together and drinks order taken on arrival. Splendid! Thanks for accommodating our large party at 10 minutes notice. 5 stars!

Popped in here for lunch on a weekday and it was great. The staff were really friendly and attentive, and it just feels like a really nice village pub. We had the mac and cheese and the crispy buttermilk chicken, and I'd recommend both.

I went to a surprise 70th birthday party, held in the barn. A perfect place to celebrate the venue was beautiful, we had our own bar and facilities. Rosie and Hayden could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend.

We had our daughters 11th birthday party dinner here. Rosie and her team made this such a great evening for her and her friends - and us hiding away round the corner! Thank you so much. So wonderful!!!

Loaded nachos is a must. Wings are a little dry but plentiful. Great atmosphere and good selection of beers

It was my first visit to this lovely pub. It was a bit crowded, but otherwise, everything was great. Great service to the bar, great service at the table, amazing food, mine was delicious.

Great little pub . Decent barstaff friendly and polite .

Booked for the monthly steak night which is held the first Wednesday of every month. What can I say - the food was delicious! Best steak I've had and the stilton sauce was to die for, and homemade dauphinoise potatoes. Good service, and the pub...

We visited for lunch on Mother's Day and were so pleased that we chose the Rose and Crown. A lovely pub in the centre of the village. The food was really good and service excellent.

We walked to the Rose and Crown as part of a walk with eight friends. I’d booked in advance for six, and had emailed to ask them if we could increase the table to eight., they accommodated us all with no fuss, and were very...

Love the decorations. Food was OK. The staffs were attentive. They have loads of board games to entertain impatient children too.

Lovely pub! Nice outside space too

An ideal venue for a private event. Food was lovely and the staff excellent. Throughly recommended.

Came here last night for a friends birthday, service from the team was amazing, they were all so friendly and made us all feel very welcome. Will definitely be back if in the area. Highly recommend

Nice selection of beers & interesting atmosphere !!

Great service. Nice pub. Excellent vibe for a Saturday lunchtime. My pint didn't look great. THEY changed it even before I questioned it...that's an absolute first 👍It was the bottom of the barrel, no one's fault, but dealt with superbly...well done !

We booked the Barn at the Rose & Crown for a family celebration. The staff were brilliant and so helpful both with the setting up and during the evening. We had a fork buffet which was excellent. The barn has great facilities: our own bar,...

Cozy and clean pub with good drinks and food

We hired the barn for a surprise 60th celebration and it was perfect. The barn is a beautiful rustic look with great lights already installed and also has music connections from a phone so no need for Dj with lighting for dancing. Definitely would hire again and the staff are lovely and extremely helpful. Thank you all for an amazing night

Out with a few mates ,great night great service from Sophie, made sure we were well feed and watered ,great service good foid Good night Only had to ring a bell and Sophie appeared to take care of our this issues

Very nice, often busy, village pub. Beer and food both OK.

Lovely coffee stop on our walk.

Excellent service, really good food, warm happy dog-friendly place. Definitely 5-star. Will definitely return.

Very nice place to eat well priced and grestvselection. Book if you can as it is very popular and busy once you have been here you will know why. 👍👍

Four of us went here for lunch. We had a lovely time. The food was good and tasty. What made it extra enjoyable was the fact that we were so well looked after by Rosie, very friendly, efficient and professional. Thank you very much.

Lovely traditional local gastro pub/boozer. Good food, nice staff, well kept beers and an open log fire. Also has a really nice hirable space out back and a small patrons car park.

Love this pub,since the refurbishment, I’ve visited on three occasions and I really liked the atmosphere. Which is very pleasant and friendly,mainly to the great staff .

Just went in for a beer on a Saturday evening with friends. VERY busy, but a nice atmosphere.

Cold drinks expensive and some of the sandwiches had no butter went after a funeral not won't I except

Great pub, great food, excellent friendly and efficient staff. First visit with friends who live in the area, but will be coming again. Shows this is a good well run pub by how busy it was on a cold Monday lunch time in January. Well done to staff and management!

Very charming old pub with good food and lovely staff

Lovely pub. The staff were very friendly too. There are two areas inside the pub to sit in. The garden area with benches also have a shelter over them with built in heating which is very nice.

Avoid at all costs - the venue already had the required deposits from our work party (for Christmas lunch) yet extorted more 'deposit' money from those who attended on behalf of those who could not. This practice wasn't stated in their T's and C's. This resulted in a bad atmosphere at work as monies were chased to cover additional 'costs'. As a result we will never be visiting this establishment again.

Hired the barn for a private party. Great venue and lovely staff. The barn is cold despite various heaters being provided so bring some layers. Highly recommended. 👍

The place looks very nice and is comfortable. The staff, who are very young, are very friendly but, unfortunately, too inexperienced. It takes ages to get anyone's attention, and no one scans the restaurant to see if patrons need anything. Having visited a few times...

Wonderfully comfortable and well-appointed rooms - away from the main bar so nice and quiet. Great breakfast in the morning. So convenient for Wimbledon Common and the Village

Very buzzing, loved the layout. We were only drinking but will return to eat

Lovely pub, very friendly staff, good food at good prices, also dog friendly which is great. I would recommend.

Delicious food and a beautiful building

Went to a party held in the barn at the back of the pub. Staff friendly and helpful. Great night.

I had booked a table for 8 on Saturday 17th December for a Christmas meal. I had already paid a visit to the pub/restaurant to pay a £40 deposit to secure the booking and contacted the pub/ restaurant with our pre order selections as requested....

Brilliant for a lads meet up and a few beers. Guinness was great, TV Screens everywhere for sport and the food (beef brisket) was excellent and much nicer than your standard burger

Returned for the second time for Sunday lunch which, as with our first visit, was absolutely lovely, well cooked and plentiful. I had the turkey roast and my husband had the beef roast. Dessert was treacle sponge and custard. Nice big portion and also delicious....

Genuinely the worst meal I’ve had out for many years. We visited on a Sunday lunchtime after moving into the village. The Sunday roast had run out by the time we arrived for a 4pm table, which was surprise, so we ordered from the rest...

A vibrant, friendly village pub - Great food - Amazing Ales, Wines and all the top shelf that you could think of. Recommend a visit if you are in the area.

We had a surprise birthday party on a Saturday all had a great time the staff was great the food we had was very good thank you very much to the team on that night.

We had friends from Europe staying at the weekend. They wanted to experience a British Sunday Roast Lunch. We took them to the Rose & Crown (in spite of having had problems there in the past, when after ordering, we were told the food would be at least 40 minutes. 'They were busy '.) We ordered Roast Beef which was truly awful. We were each given two slabs of tough dry meat, which looked and tasted like ready prepared catering meat. It bore no resemblance to roasted meat. There was a pile of veg on top but this didn't make up for our embarrassment with the 'beef' on offer. All agreed it was dire. Come on R & C - you can do better ! Gordon Ramsay would soon sort you out.

Very tasty burgers! Chill atmosphere!
