The Rose and Crown in Rushcliffe

The bed linen was good and the room was ok but the shower was disgusting a new electric shower had been fitted but very badly and the extracted fan was filthy - I couldn’t even use it.

Not gonna lie I had the best steak I've had in a long time tonight cooked to perfection with diane sauce thouroly recommended

We popped in for a quick lunch. First thing to say is how friendly and attentive the bar and waiting staff were. A few items weren’t available but we both had nice meals. Great value plus loos were clean and seemed recently refurbished. Good job...

Great food lovely kind and efficient waitress called Hetty. All round a very pleasant experience.vegetables cooked to perfection couldn't fault anything

We had, as always, an excellent family meal at the Rose & Crown lunchtime today with visiting family members, who were equally impressed with the food and service. We were served by a very friendly waitress who asked, when we ordered the'Rose & Crown burger',...

Very welcoming, very friendly staff, very attentive. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent food, good size portions, well presented and delicious. Big thanks to Hetty, Liv and Grace.

Went with hubby for date night, excellent service, excellent food and atmosphere. Waiting staff very friendly and welcoming. W8ll definatly be visiting again!

Stopped in at The Rose & Crown today, The barman was charming and helpful, made me feel welcome straight away. Gave me a great recommendation for lunch, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The service from the waitress was excellent and my food came with impeccable timing, as it should on your lunch break with the limited time I had, I liked that the make newspapers available, nice touch. A traditional pub, with old style values. They have a great garden, and I love that I can bring my little dog, which indeed i will. The manager asked me if I needed help when I was looking for the toilet, kudos for the attention to detail. I was certainly looked after by all the staff, I instantly felt relaxed and comfortable at the Rose & Crown, and look forward to coming for an evening meal, thanks for the welcome and see you soon. !100 percent stamp of approval.

Brilliant day couldn’t recommend it highly enough definitely be visiting again staff were excellent and friendly

We were invited to the Rose and Crown this weekend by my husband's friends who thought we would enjoy the Ska band night (definitely my era!).

Attended the Rose and Crown with family and friends on Saturday as it was their annual beer festival. I have attended the Rose and Crown many times and found it alright. However on this occasion the landlord, landlady and bar manager were very rude and aggressive to many members of my party which I was surprised at especially as we had been in before and had spent quite a lot of money on food. One member of the party who was spoken too aggressively was female and has been left quite distressed by the incident as have her children who found it upsetting that a man would speak to a women in such a way. I certainly will not be visiting the establishment again.

We visit this pub quite often as we love the food and always recommend it to family and friends . This weekend it’s the beer festival so was very busy and a great atmosphere with a live band (who were great ) contrary to the previous review ourselves and many others in the pub had to complain to the staff about children running round screaming climbing on tables etc and playing unattended in the car park ( not as we’re killjoys but concerned for their safety ) we often bring our young children in with us and have never had an issue with the staff/owners and find it family friendly

Live ska band whom got the whole pub rocking!!!

I'll start with the positives; great band, good kerb appeal, nice flowers.

I have lived in Cotgrave for over thirty years and have frequently visited the Rose and Crown, under current ownership and prior to that when Ethan and Nicola were there.

Tough beef and the chicken wasn't roast chicken but just a piece of chicken breast. Waitress carried the plates with her thumb in the gravy. Not the best experience. Friendly pub and good for dogs but we would return for food.

Lovely pub, welcoming owners, great food, 1st class service! Love this place! Dog friendly country pub is ideal!

My partner and I visited last Saturday (08/10/16) and had the special Carbonara and Blue Moon Burger. The portion sizes were large and filling - no complaints there! The atmosphere was welcoming and cosy. The blue moon burger was delicious and you can tell its been lovingly home made - if you're a Stilton fan this is definitely the one for you.The Carbonara was creamy and flavourful, couldn't get enough! Will most definitely visit again.

I went in on Saturday with my girlfriend and we were constantly ignored by the waiter, when he eventually came to take our order, he was very rude and unpleasant. He was not attentive at all and when we asked for things he didn't bring it to the table. I then asked for this waiters name and he replied that his name was Ryan, he was tall with short brown hair. I sincerely hope that this waiter does not continue to work at the rose and crown and until he is dismissed I shall not be returning. Disappointed.

Quiero decirte todo lo que un tiempo increíble que he tenido en el Rose y esta noche de la Corona. Tenían una tapas tarde, la comida era fantástica, las bebidas precios razonables, personal servicial. ¡Qué lugar tan hermoso. Toda la comida que se sirve es de un nivel excelente. Sin duda recomendaría este hotel como un lugar para comer. Una joya escondida. XX

Can't fault the take-away service, lots on offer; pizza, pies, fish and chips...I had the fish and chips with mushy peas!! Delicious! Cannot recommend highly enough!

We had heard this was a nice place, and it is - a pleasant dining room in a village pub, with cheerful young staff. However the waitress opted not to make eye contact whilst we were waiting nearly an hour for our food.Then when it arrived, what was described as Chicken Tikka was in fact a sort of tasteless stew, with a totally charred onion bhajia and a papadom swimming with oil. My wife said it was not remotely like a curry. I thought a safe bet was the steak pie; not so, it was tough meat in an equally tough pastry accompanied by so-called triple cooked chips. These were in fact huge chunks of potato, some of which were hard and tepid, so not even cooked once, let alone three times.The menu is not particularly cheap. There are dozens of pubs serving good basic food in the area and to fail on two staple dishes like these is unacceptable. We would have done better picking them up at Sainsburys over the road and eating them at home.Sorry, but a visit not to be repeated.

Having eaten at the Rose and Crown on several occasions and having thoroughly enjoyed the food, ambiance and fabulous hospitality of both Pete and Donita I decided to have my 80s themed party (in the marquee and pub) here for my 50th birthday. They organised the food and the DJ and decorated the venue with the balloons I'd organised from a local supplier they also recommended. It was a fantastic night and my friends and I had an amazing time. In fact, some have even said that it's the best party they've ever been too ... so a HUGE thank you to Pete and Donita for putting on an amazing party for me ... the food was fabulous too and went down really well.

Second meal here. Very nice pizza and apple crumble (not simultaneously) for me. My friend's chips looked superb....pity I didn't get to try one. Excellent service, and decent wine. Unobtrusive music. what's not to like

We had my Mums wedding reception at The Rose and Crown and I have to say the staff and proprietors couldn't do any more, the service, food, drinks and atmosphere was perfect. Would highly recommend The Rose and Crown for any occasion. Great value for money and catered for everyone's needs

We are local to the Rose and Crown and have become regulars for Sunday Lunch. Peter and Danita, along with their excellent staff, Jodie is outstanding,are the best hosts for this traditional and charming pub. The service is very consistent, we have a demanding party and they are always so accommodating to our needs. Polite , efficient, charming we will return again and again.

Lovely pub. Really friendly and good quick service. Would defiantly recommend for a cosy pint by the fire or a meal out with friends or family.

My mother and I had a Sunday Roast here today and a dessert. It was beautiful food, great prices £14 for 2 courses! The staff were lovely and very attentive. The landlord and landlady were really nice and talkative. Definitely recommend and we will be visit again some time soon!

Since moving back to Cotgrave we have visited the Rose & Crown regually. The food is consistently very good, the service is very good and it has a very friendly atmosphere. Plus they always have a good selection of Real ales.

Visited the rose and crown today for a meal, it was quiet. There was only a couple of tables dining, we went over to the bar to order some drinks and get a table. We got to the table, sat there a while and no body came over. So I went over to the bar to order our food, it was stupidly quiet so I didn't expect to have to do that for a pub where it's supposed to be table service. Our starter arrived and we had no cutlery. We finished our starter and had to sit and wait for a while for some one to come over and clear our starters away. I understand having to wait but when it's quiet you don't expect to wait that long. meals were lovely, can't complain there. When the waitress came over, she didn't even ask if we had finished, just took the plates. After this, I had to go up to the bar to ask for menus for puddings, which then I also had to order at the bar. Service overall was terrible. It wasn't busy so there wasnt any excuse for the lack of service. The bar man was lovely and couldn't do enough to help. So hats off to him. Wouldn't rush back.

Really enjoyed the Sunday lunch with family and friends at The Rose & Crown. Food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and accommodating, considering our large party of 27 people. This helped to make the experience personal and our custom valued, enabling us to celebrate our special occasion.Also, Dog friendly which is a bonus.

What a superb evening we had at The Rose and Crown. I definitely recommend the Gourmet Burger. Atmosphere delightful. Our waitress last night was incredibly efficient and genuinely interested in looking after us. Polite, courteous and professional - just what you expect when you imbibe and dine at The Rose. Great.

Lovely pub great food great staff lovely beer garden. Clean pretty and welcomes well behaved dogs. Will definitely be going back.

My colleague and I work away most weeks and I can honestly say this is the most memorable place we have had the pleasure to eat in. We came to the pub every night for nearly 2 weeks. Amanda our waitress looked after us nearly every night, not only did she serve us, but she went out of her way to make us feel welcome and it was a pleasure to meet her.. The food very good, good variety and very tasty! A wonderful local pub who is lucky to have a gem of a waitress!

Great night celebrating my Birthday, food was excellent, big thanks to Bret, Jamie and Ray for making it a good night.

We've eaten at this pub many times over the years and always thought the food and experience was better than good.We've eaten there this evening, I ordered one of their Blue Moon burger and was a little surprised when it came without chips as standard. Having re-read the menu I now appreciate there's no mention of chips being included, but wouldn't you expect chips!!As a customer I felt mislead, disappointed and ripped off. I raised my issue with the waitress, who mentioned it was a new menu and I wasn't the first customer to raise this point. Maybe the management should take note, I might have had to spend a few extra pounds to get my chips, but I won't be back, How many more customer are thinking the same. Add a pound onto the price and include chips.It didn't help that I paid £9.50 for a smallish overcooked burger with more lettuce than meat. Chips and onion rings may changed my opinion from poor to average, to then have to pay extra, you must think we're stupid.My partner ordered the salmon, and it was only later she told me it was very overcooked. She didn't mention earlier because she didn't want to add to further issues.As a side note I thought the service was very good. Would I recommend - NO. Would I revisit - NO.

Awesome staff. Excellent food. Great environment, can't reccomend strongly enough.Lovely lovely lovely

Our first visit for Sunday Lunch, having heard positive comments from a number of folk. Some initial difficulty in booking, entailing a personal visit, but we were able to choose our preferred table. Our friend chose the Chicken with White Wine sauce and delicious Sweet Potato Mash; whilst the Beef and Lamb were well cooked and served with homemade Yorkshire, Roast potatoes and three vegetables. Very pleasant, though the plates could have been warmer. Dessert was advertised as a Rhubarb Fool ; it was actually a sort of Trifle served in a half pint glass! The staff were attentive and helpful and offered a Fruit Salad as a Gluten and Dairy free Dessert. Disabled and Wheelchair ♿ users would struggle, as there are steps all over in this historic building, and I didn't spot a Disabled ♿ toilet or parking.

This nice little country pub has everything to offer the consumer, good decor, such friendly staff, nice atmosphere, great ale, but most of all, fantastic food, I'm visiting this establishment more often now after discovering there burgers are quite possibly the best I've had in a long time, there sweet potato fries are a particular favourite of mine, I can't wait to go back and try another burger.

As a regular visitor to the rose & crown I struggle to understand some of the negative comments on here.Both of the owners are warm and welcoming.dog friendly, children welcome.The new chef is of high standards as are the bar staffI suppose you can't please everyone all of the time!!!Keep up the good work

On another visit to Nottingham when we called in for lunch at this pub. Firstly the bar and waiting staff are so pleasant and not being from the area gave us a real welcome.The food was very well presented and the portion size was very filling. I could not believe the amount of different steak sizes available.

The best pub in the area by far ! Fabulous food with the best sticky toffee pudding I have ever had ... Run by a lovely couple , keep it up , Regards Monika Pudelko

Food of excellent quality. It's nice to eat out and not feel painfully full. The portion size was excellent and the taste was superb. Nice to see on a Sunday how the menu is always a bit different. The Yorkshire puddings were fantastic. Great easy place to take your kids or your mates or your wife. Great pub. Well done guys!

Traditional village pub with a great atmosphere. Good range of drinks and excellent food. Fast, efficient, friendly service even when the pub is busy, which is most of the time due to it's great reputation.

Had a good evening at the cheese and wine. Would thoroughly recommend the pizzas we had after the event.

I eat here at least once a week and will continue to for a long time! The food is always cooked fresh, looks fantastic and tastes amazing, you can tell the chefs take pride in what they do! Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff, the landlords are around a lot chatting away to customers which is really nice to see and i love the fact I can take my dog in there with me too!The garden is spacious with a marquee for functions and the inside has lovely tables that never mean that your bumping into other diners.I will carry on eating here for a long time and now I take my friends and they love it too! Would definitely recommend!

Steak & Ale pie was on the menu, my favourite. It was delicious. So much chunky steak and a hand made pastry case too. Followed by rhubarb n blueberry crumble. A new one on me. It was full of flavour and different from the usual run of the mill crumbles everyone serves. Try it, you'll love it. That's what I like about the menu here, good wholesome food but with a bit of variation. Slightly different from the norm. What was nice to see on this occasion was that people had taken advantage of the sunny weather and had chosen to eat al fresco in the lovely beer garden at this friendly village pub. Welcome was warm and friendly, service was excellent even the real ale was served to the table so we could sit and just enjoy the evening.

We stayed at Primrose House, an outstanding B&B in Cotgrave and were recommended to the Rose & Crown for dinner, a short 5 minute walk away.What a wonderful, welcoming pub it was and the small restaurant area was a real find. 6 of us ate there and all our meals were superb. The home made pies are delightful, the steaks excellent and the ribs simply to die for, and all reasonably priced.The great food, lovely atmosphere and attentive and friendly staff made it a very enjoyable evening. Thoroughly recommended.

It was the first time me and my sister in law have ever visited this pub and it won't be the last!!! Food was absolutely amazing!!! We had Sunday dinner and went for the 3 course option as it was a fanatic price. It is by far the best place i've been to for value for money. The chocolate fondant was the nicest desert I have ever had!!! We will certainly be coming back with the rest of the family!

I stopped by for a quick bite with the family & it turned out to be one of the best meals I've had. I ordered the ribs & they were so succulent... the meat came away form the bones with little effort & the sauce is finger licking good!!I've eaten a lot of ribs, in a lot of restaurants, in a lot of countries & these were by far the best. Pair this with a fantastic country pub setting, a warm family friendly atmosphere & a great selection of drinks & you're onto a winner.I'll definitely be going back for more.

Undercooked fish, soggy batter and undercooked chips - the mushy peas were nice!Pudding was terrible... Literally inedible. You couldn't get the spoon through the ridiculously thick and hard pastry. I'll go as far as saying, it bent the spoon before making impact on the pastry!The pub itself is lovely and well maintained. But poor service, no check back to see if the food was ok, no offer of second drinks, we weren't sure if we ordered at the bar or they came to us - it took over 20 minutes for them to take our order even though we were told we had to order quickly due to them closing over lunch.

Visit here regular, it is a lovely family pub. The pub always has a lovely atmosphere, with very welcoming staff. The food is very nice! Recently had the chilli and wedges - they were definitely the best wedges I have ever eaten. The pizzas are extremely delicious, and my son loves the childrens meals. The pub is very clean, they have a lovely log Fire, which gives it a lovely country pub feel. They have a beautiful pub garden and have a selection of toys for the children - I would definitely recommend

Very bland meals. Scampi and chips ....no peas ! Very basic.Tasteless Chicken and mushroom pie dollop of mash and peas.At £9.50 per meal wish we had gone somewhere else!

The pies are fantastic. Very reasonable pricing for generous portions of delicious food. With very friendly and welcoming staff to go with it.

Had a family lunch out. The food was OK but certainly nothing special and I would just class as average. Some courses were dressed up to look better than they were. The worst problem was the service was slow. Two and a half hours for a two course meal when you have young children with you is not an ideal meal out.

Fantastic evening meal following recommendation from hosts of B&B. Landlord and staff very welcoming and Friendly. The Pie was Chicken & Mushroom and was very tasty, the best one I've had. Plenty of choice of Beers.Well Recommended for meals

The Rose and Crown is an exceptional establishment. The service is amazing and the food is fantastic. Had the most delightful Naked Burger, dressed to the hilt. I didn't want fries so they very kindly prepared the most awesome salad bowl to accompany my meal. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the team. I recommend this place to everyone so if you're out and about and looking for somewhere delicious to eat the Rose and Crown should be your venue of choice. Clearly, whomever is in charge is a leading light and it shows on the way they manage this establishment. To that end, we are guaranteed returners ! Thanks for an amazing evening

had to wait awhile on ordering the food probably because they were cooked freshcant fault the staff to say they were only us having a meal inside the decor was very drab

Great food, great service and the staff are always helpful and friendly. This is a proper local pub and should be on anyone's list.

had good meals in the past, but this pub is just a pub, nothing special anymore, not as clean as it was in past visits, the door to the toilets has hand marks all over it, high chairs for the children are filthy.

We've eaten here a few times, but I'm sorry to report that the food is no longer good. The bread to share was awful it was barely cooked inside and was very stodgy. The chips were dark brown. Were they triple cooked? Actually they looked and tasted like left over chips from lunchtime re-fried. The gammon was slightly burned and very dry. My friend's salmon was overcooked and dry.They still haven't up graded the toilets, despite them knowing they need doing. We won't be eating here again.

Great local type pub with a nice fire burning, it is an ideal place to sip a pint. Great choice of beer and friendly bar staff. I just wish the food was better.

Booked a table for four at the Rose & Crown and pre-ordered from their festive menu. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by waitress Amanda who showed us to our table after we had been served our drinks by Brett the barman, a pleasant young man with a ready smile. Plenty of room at the large tables for plates, drinks, vegetable bowls, sauce/gravy boats etc. There is a feeling of space in which to dine and relax, unlike other places where the tables are crammed together. The general atmosphere of the pub is warm and welcoming with locals chatting/drinking at the bar (some with their dogs which was nice to see) whilst tables are arranged on an elevated level and spread out with room to manoeuvre without bumping into other diners when taking or leaving your seat. The food was plentiful, well cooked, delicious and reasonably priced for a starter, main and dessert. The plates were hot too, which I always appreciate. There's nothing worse that hot food on a cold plate. Amanda was attentive and prompt with our courses without making us feel rushed in any way. She appeared to genuinely take an interest in our requirements and nothing was too much trouble for her. The pub was tastefully decorated for the festive period and the the whole experience was most enjoyable. The Rose & Crown at Cotgrave is well worth a visit.

Lovely food, good price, helpful staff. Went into the rose and crown for lunch and left having had a great meal and a couple of drinks. Can't fault anything about it.

Beautiful food and lots of it. Very helpful staff, prices are reasonable would definitely be going back! It wasn't too busy either very spacious layout and lots of tables for bigger groups. If you want car very get there early as meat was a little dry by 5pm

We had a very pleasant meal at the Rose & Crown. It was a Thursday night in November and the pub was quite busy which must be a good sign. The customers were a good mix too; locals drinking at the bar and couples and groups of various age groups dining. And three well behaved dogs as this is a dog friendly pub. Both of our meals were very good and also reasonably priced. A good selection of beers and pleasant service. What more could you reasonably expect at a village pub? We will return if we're in the area again.

Great new menu, everything homemade (pie of the day was lovely). Even chicken nuggets made in house. Delicious

Just had a wonderful meal, the chef has some amazing recipes. This week's risotto was amazing, pumpkin and sage, and desert divine home made fruit crumble or profiteroles , hot chocolate and ice cream.

We had our wedding here in August, and have eaten many times. Throughout the planning of our wedding, the owners helped us every step of the way; this was only part of the wedding we didn't have any stress over. This is one of the best pubs we have ever been to. The staff are incredibly helpful and always welcoming. The food is excellent and the beer selection is very good. We always come here when we visit family and will for years to come. You will be hard pressed to find somewhere with this quality of food, for this price and with such a fantastic atmosphere.

A fabulous place to go to for Real home cooked delicious food.Friendly landlord & landlady and staff and a wonderful atmosphere with a gorgeous open fire

Beautiful Sunday lunch, staff very attentive and helpful. Food fresh and hot. The new landlord and land lady are friendly and make you feel really welcome. Will be going again very soon. About time the village had a good pub again

Nothing special but nothing bad. Service probably could have been improved if there was an extra bar / serving staff member. On the positive it is a roomy pub with a good atmosphere and pleasant outdoor sitting/play area.

We recently had a big family meal here whilst in Cotgrave for the weekend for a wedding. The menu is extensive for a pub with a separate Pizza and Burger menu. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food and it was one of the best Pizza's I've had outside an Italian restaurant. All in all a good place to eat.

Had good meal here while staying in cotgrave for a wedding. Reserved table waiting for us all when we arrived. Good menu and freshly prepared food. Good childrens menu. Staff friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

Why the car park is always full I don't get! There were 6 of us there , we had four different meals and they were all poor. Fish and chips tasted nasty, medium steak was well done, no salads on the menu ( they agreed to make one up - it was a lettuce! ), veggie burger was greasy and my son's burger was not very nice ( and he is not too fussy !). We're locals and we have vowed never again. Might as well have gone down the road to shepherd's - that's one of those awful cheap carverys but it is much better value.

The competition in West Bridgford is very strong. Although there is an honest effort to return this village pub to the eatery of choice, they're not there yet. Overcooked fish, undercooked chips and a very potatoey 'posh' fish pie were all a bit of a disappointment.
