The Rose & Crown in Wealden

We came a couple of weeks back and really enjoyed ourselves, my partner is vegan but was not an issue at all. Today the food was absolutely great, I had the Roast Beef that was cooked just right, so tender and succulent. Everything was super tasty. Can't wait for next time. Do be sure to book and pre order if possible, unsurprisingly with the roasts they offer, it does get busy. The staff are also what makes this pub. They have just the right amount of bubblyness, a friendly, approachable, happy, smiley crew. Thank you chef and team

The Roast here is amazing. I had three different meat combo with crackling. I recommend that. My wife just had the beef. Beef is tender pink and melts in your mouth. Roasties, crispy. All how it should be. Oh yes! Service....so friendly and fun. Really made our Sunday

Fabulous Sunday lunch - huge portions, everything so obviously homemade and with a roast beef to die for… cooked to perfection, succulent, pink and so tender it could have been cut with a spoon! Nut roast was the best my daughter had eaten, and my little mum did not give up on hers despite being full to the brim, because it was so tasty! Excellent staff - friendly, helpful, efficient and attentive making us feel as though we knew them even though it was our first ever visit. Luke, Poppy and Annie looked after us whilst Sara (head chef/owner) was the force behind that slow roasted sirloin of beef. If you are anywhere in the area visiting, please do not pass this one by.. you’ll regret it! Nov 17th 24 Rebecca, Mads & Brenda

Lovely place for a birthday lunch. And the lunch was quite delicious. Great service too - as usual.

Four of us visited on Saturday evening. Food and service was truly excellent. Great choice of beerios, friendly little pub, wrapped up with feel good music. Wonderful, and highly recommended.

Lovely cosy pub In a glorious village. Food is fantastic, staff are great - just a lovely pub you'll be glad you visited

Great little pub with good outside area, in a stunning village setting. Proper English country pub.

Good Sunday Roast, friendly staff and fitted us in last minute. Thanks team!

Wonderful atmosphere. Welcoming staff.

Really nice listed building in quiet location with loads of character, rooms clean and cosy, very friendly staff, had breakfast and a evening meal there both were excellent.

Nice pub in a quiet area on the outskirts of Mayfield. Very old and rustic and old inside. Very friendly bar lady and tasty food. Recommend.

È il pub in cui sognavo di passare una notte, durante il nostro tour in bici da Londra a Parigi. Edificio del 1600, atmosfera da tipica campagna inglese, camere piccole e calde dotate di tutto l'occorrente. La cucina è le birre sono state all'altezza delle aspettative. Frequentato per lo più da gente del posto.

Lovely old pub in Mayfield which is a gorgeous village. We stopped off for a quick refreshment after setting up a house party, thoroughly enjoyed sitting out the front before we moved on to our next casino party.

An authentic English countryside pub, wonderful place, very kind and helpful staff. Amazing burgers and beers.

Such a lovely stay in a wonderful pub. My partner and I were here for a wedding and they were most accommodating. If we are ever back over this way, we will definitely stay here!

Fabulous Sunday lunch, up there with the best. Really home cooked taste and great presentation. I didn't know this little gem was in Mayfield but I will be back. Well worth a visit.

Just dropped in for a pint. Harvey's bitter went down smoothly.

Lovely local pub friendly staff and good beers on tap I wanted to add to this review that I stayed at the pub for my friends wedding and it was really nice.Thd room I stayed in was a good size really clean and had a really comfortable bed .I was more at the back of the pub so it was really quiet both Richard and Sarah were great hosts and the English breakfast in the morning was amazing.Eat in the restaurant one night and the food was lovely.

I have eaten here three times before and I really like the pub , as a manager of a pub myself I've always been impressed. I visited today with my sister and mother for lunch and was told by the staff member that we don't do tabs , I found this strange as have run a tab before , I was told that I was only allowed to run a tab if I had booked a table which is also even more bizarre . In struggling to Understand the logic behind this has prompted me to write this review as this is poor service and not the way the hospitality trade does things , not a great experience for a pub which I am now thinking about not returning too .

Fabulous traditional Kentish pub. I had the best roast lamb I've had in years and my husband enjoyed his halloumi burger and chips which he said were extremely delicious. The landlord and team were very friendly and welcoming. Great place - we'll be back. Thank you.

Great service good food. Lovely Scotch egg with chunky fries.

I know this place from years ago.its always been a great place . Lots of people there.a good atmosphere.we went to look at open gardens.very nice .l would recommend it .

Great rooms and food. Service also kind and helpful. Friendly. Great roast on a Sunday. Very happy!!

Great place for lunch. Good food with friendly service and atmosphere. Very dog friendly 😀

We are on holiday in Mayfield and decided to have our meals in the Rose and Crown. What a lovely place to be, very kind and helpful staff, cosy and many locals visiting. The food, oh the food, they have enough choice and everything is freshly made and that you can taste! Wonderfull! We will surely be back here. Greets, Paul and Heidi from Holland.

The room is reasonably priced and very clean. Comfy bed and there is the pub downstairs. It was a quiet night when I stayed and I found the staff all extremely friendly. I ate in the pub which was fair priced and tasty. Lovely old fashioned pub in a nice area.

Dropped in for a couple of drinks late afternoon , had been a while since we ghad been there, could quite easily had been mistaken for a school playground , with children running around seemingly out of control, parents taking no notice of the nuisance they were causing to other drinkers sitting outside , eventually had had enough and moved up to the other pub in the village , such a shame as it used to be a decent drinking hole

We popped into the Rose and crown and wow what a lovely atmosphere. Family friendly ,great food and friendly staff. So good to see real local pub doing well,loads of regulars which is always a good sign. I even got a shamrock on my Guinness!!

It is what we call basic english cuisine no frills but tasty and hot. We sat near the open fire on a cold day and it was welcome. The lady who served us was also running the bar, so she was kept busy but was pleasant and welcoming.

We went for the pub quiz on a Wednesday. Really well set up and Ethan looked after us!

Very friendly greeting on arrival by the bar lady and also the locals. It is a lovely old pub with a real cosy feeling. I ordered the chicken burger with fries and coleslaw, it was delicious and if I ever returned would definitely have it again. I would recommend this pub, a proper pub that has managed to keep it's original feeling.

Went here for valentine’s meal. It’s a good village pub that we’ve known through it’s ups and downs for more years than I care to remember, hadn’t eaten here for a while and delighted to find the food was excellent & beer (long man) well kept. Pan roasted Lamb rump & duck were both delicious!

Staying in Mayfield for a few days, had a nice cosy drink by the fire one night and went back for a meal the following night. Very friendly staff, welcoming of us our Spaniel and both of us had a great meal. Would definitely recommend based on our experience.

Had lunch yesterday and the food was beyond excellent and the staff were superb also. A proper pub with great beer, great food and beautiful location.

Randomly stopped at this pub for lunch in between Christmas and new year and was blown away by the service, food, location and ambience of this fantastic pub. Well done guys. Sadly I find this kind of genuinely warm and welcoming service harder and harder to come by. We will be back.

Delightful traditional old village pub in Mayfield with friendly staff, a great selection of beers & a blazing open fire. Dogs welcome!

Monday night burger night. Fabulous

Excellent food and really friendly staff.

We had a superb roast dinner. Ethan and Emma were friendly and attentive, we'll be back! Thank you

This pub was my local for many years 40 years ago when I moved from Tidebrook to Australia Going back to see old favourites can sometimes be disillusionment but it this case it was a joy. Not too much has changed, the shove halfpenny board was not evident, the restaurant area is now a function room but otherwise the place looked great. 8 of us invaded for drinks and lunch - a reunion of those I played cricket with in Mayfield back in the day How good to see Harvey’s🍻🍻. So much better than the modern style beers and the fizzy lemonade style they call beer in Oz🤪 Food was great, the occasion very special and happy memories confirmed Thank you all

Very welcoming pub, nice food and friendly staff! I had the vegetable Sunday roast and it was one of the nicest I had in a long time. We were a big group of 14 and ordered our food the previous day. Quick service and everyone was very happy.

Brilliant pub and enjoyable atmosphere Very friendly staff We had roast pork and roast beef Sunday lunches Very generous portions so make sure you don’t have breakfast and feel very hungry Would highly recommend

Booked Sunday Lunch as reviews were so good! We arrived on time…no other diners. Order taken almost immediately, Served within 10 minutes. Dinner was OK..plentiful food ,veg very slightly undercooked but fresh.Plates cleared promptly. Expected the desert menu and further round of drinks. Waited but no one came…all attention given to the bar…and it was not busy. We felt forgotten. Then a group of 3 arrived…thought we may get a recognition for some drinks…no just ignored. Had to go to bar to ask for bill. Bill given speedily but then waited to pay….in the end we had to pay at bar. We left hungry and disappointed. The pub was grubby (couple dead flies and web on window) and everywhere needed a good deep clean as very dusty. At night i expect it is cosy with the fire going but mid afternoon looked sad and shabby. Just because it is in the country there is no excuse for grime,,,also had a odour which might be dog….was impressed that dogs were refused in the dining area. Such a shame….get it sorted…just some attention to detail and not forget the paying customer!!

Lovely cosy pub, friendly lady behind the bar. A long wait for food to arrive but tasty when it arrived.

Greek Night, well what can I say? As we have some experience with authentic greek food we decided to join our friends for the greek night. The kleftico was mouth watering and fell off the bone, the lemon potatoes were spot on and the Tzatziki was beautiful. The wife had an amazing souvlaki. Lucy and the team were spot on and made sure we had our drinks. Looking forward to the mussels evening in a few weeks.

This is a complete gem! Friendly staff, wonderful proper pub atmosphere. Fab food, local beers & fantastic rose wine!!

My wife was recommended to try this pub when she was last staying in Mayfield and as she thoroughly enjoyed her first visit wanted me to try it with her yesterday when I popped down to see her. Warm welcome on entering and a good selection of freshly cooked food to order, which we loved. We will happily return if she is down in Mayfield on business and I am able to pop down again.

Went with a friend for a Sunday roast, lovely food served, beautiful surroundings, definitely a characterful country pub worth eating at. Had friendly staff, easy parking as well. Highly recommended.

What a find! We arrived for a Sunday roast today, a first visit as we were staying nearby. We were served immediately by very friendly staff, the service was A1 throughout. The beef sirloin roast was superb and I'd have to say the Yorkshire pudding was the best I've ever tasted!! And I've tried a few 😂 and a whole jug of tasty gravy on the side. My husband had the beer battered fish n chips which was also fantastic. A good and varied menu, delivered to an extremely high standard. We will definitely be back. Well done Rose & Crown. See you very soon I hope.

Tapas Evening at the Rose & Crown was delicious! With 6 friends we had various dishes all very tasty but the puff cheese balls with honey and sesame seeds were a complete and blinking yummy surprise, we ordered more! The staff were attentive and worked hard throughout the evening. We had a lovely time and we hope they have another one 😊

6 of us went for a themed Tapas Night, the food was excellent, and the service was outstanding , I would highly recommend this beautiful pub.

Just had an excellent chilli burger in here on Burger Night. Excellent value for money at £12.50, highly recommend it. In addition they also do the superb Birch Gin from Wadhurst and the award winning Hofmeister Helles Bavarian beer. Definitely recommend a visit.

Expensive. Mediocre, disappointingly average food. We haven't been here since we had a very poor meal in 2019, but it's convenient so we gave it another try. A gloriously sunny Saturday lunchtime but only five other customers when we ordered. Over £14 for a glass of very average white wine & a pint of cider. £18.50 for tiny, overcooked, tasteless burger & a few stringy French fries, £14 for a dry chicken nachos dish. It's a lovely setting for a quiet (if pricey) drink, but with such a great range of alternative places to eat in the area we won't be back. A real shame.

They were lovely. At the last minute, they accommodated a big party of us and treated us beautifully. We enjoyed the food, loved the beautiful old pub and had a great time. Thank you

Service and ambience good, but the amount of vegetables served with the fish pie were inadequate. I had one and a half small carrots and a few small leaves of kale.

A lovely, friendly pub with two guest rooms. We stayed in one for one night. The room was freshly decorated and spotlessly clean. The only problem was the bed was not particularly comfy. It’s an iron bedstead with some age. The bed was quite small...

Great meal and friendly service. Country pub with friendly and accommodating staff. Great battered haddock, generous portions and well prepared.

We are very fortunate to be staying in a cottage opposite this little diamond of a pub. We’ve had the most amazing meal on ‘burger night’ this evening. The staff were so friendly and hospitable, nothing was too much trouble - Kelly looked after us...

Standard pub grub, in a lovely old Sussex building. Good menu, plenty for everyone including a kid's menu.

get rid of the yobs outside and you might get more custom,2 groups walked away when we were there today

Local pub with good pub grub. Limited menu when we went from what was advertised on their website but totally appreciate this due to the current situation. Definitely a locals pub but still welcoming.

Food was good drinks well overpriced But very cold inside when raining It’s a country pub but it’s freezing inside So no open fire or heating working Kitchen a hit and miss on opening

We booked this lovely village pub for a small family wake. Having only visited once before I was unsure how they would cope with our requests but Sara and her team were extremely helpful with their suggestions on space for us and what food to...

Had a lovely lunch here on Monday with my mum and aunt for my mum’s 80th birthday. The waitress was very kind, helping my mum who has recently had knee replacement surgery into the pub, avoiding most of the steps.

Had yet another amazing Blue cheese burger and chips. Arrived swiftly and great service. It’s the second week in a row I have had it and was as good as the last time.
