The Rose & Crown in Leeds

Lovely pub. Good beer. Tasty food at sensible prices. Helpful and friendly staff. Couldn't fault it. Highly recommended.

We visited with my wife’s family. Wonderful, great quality food and beer. Service from the lady who served us was exemplary! Really friendly true Yorkshire hospitality. Oh and on Tuesdays in the winter main courses are half price!

After having tried a couple of others in town (that didn't allow dogs), we settled on the Rose & Crown - what a find! Welcomed with open arms by the Landlord - dog treats and water bowls by the doors. Sat with friends for lunch - a couple of very nice ales (from a super selection of both draught and bottled/cans - including one of my favourites - Beavertown Neck Oil) and a superb, tasty lunch. Decent menu and some unusual smaller bites, which may lure us back again very soon. All in all, this was a great find, both for the conviviality of the host and for the food & drink on offer. A definite "we'll be back"!

Top marks for great service and a wonderful Sunday lunch.The roast was cooked beautifully and there was plenty. We all enjoyed it and the staff were all very helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back for more!

We called in after a long walk with our French bulldog and the landlord Steve could not have been friendlier. Clean and comfortable environment and incredibly personable. Please support this business.

Popped in by chance for a lunch special and can say was definitely not disappointed! The food was delicious and filling, a lot of bang for the buck and the service was fantastic. For a bit of a failed day being a tourist here, have to admit I was glad I stumbled upon this humble little gem.

New landlord, Steve, has only been at the Rose and Crown for a few months, but has done wonders for a lovely pub that was crying out for a good landlord. He is a lovely, friendly bloke who has introduced fantastic food (sunday lunches are especially well-liked!) and a number of themed evenings, incuding a bingo night. Local people have really welcomed his relaunch and are coming back in numbers to enjoy the lovely surroundings, cask beer and food.

Called here for Sunday lunch yesterday, we weren't disappointed. It was the best Sunday roast beef dinner I've ever had, fantastic.

All in all not a bad meal but I think it has some way to go to compete with other places to eat in town. To start the place was freezing cold (why no fire), they had run out of some of the ingredients for two of the orders we requested (why not tell the customers what is left before they waste time choosing something you have run out of). My son's lasagne was burnt but my chilli was OK. I cannot speak for the rest of our party but I will not be rushing back.

Writing this on behalf of elderly parents. Visited lunchtime for a birthday treat. Had to wait over an hour for their meal which when arrived was very disappointing compared to a couple of weeks ago. People on the next table ordered steak pie, but when they took the pastry top off it had sprouts and veg with a small amount of meat. When the waitress cleared the plates she asked if everything was ok, they said it wasn't as the chips weren't cooked properly and the lasagne was no where near as good as their last visit.They didn't even get an apology and nothing was deducted from the bill. They left vowing never to return again , which is a shame as they were singing the new owners praises a few weeks ago, but today's visit has really put them off. My relatives even phoned me up when they got home as they were really upset and asked me to post this review.

Not sure what's happened to this place but the food is in need of serious improvement. The service was good and food arrived to the table quickly. The food when arrives however was very poor. The chilli con carne was watery, didn't contain a single kidney bean and was bland. No cumin, no flavour just heat, as if someone cooked mince in a pan and chucked some chilli powder on it. The chips appeared triple fried and were ok but there were burnt chips served. When going to pay, the bar staff noticed the chilli plates were full and asked how the food was. When the feedback was received, they simply apologised and that was that. Seriously gutted that the food was so poor. Will not return as other competitors in the area offer better food at the same price.

I last reviewed The Rose and Crown on 2 October 2019 and was impressed. Not this time. I personally reserved a table seven days in advance, specifying the time, the table and the number in my party. When my party arrived just in advance of the specified time they found that the table had been occupied by other customers, despite there being a Reserved sign on the table. When asked why these people had not been moved, a young barman, clearly embarrassed, said that he couldn't do that. He said that he would go into the back and speak to the manager. On his return he said that he would find us another table and offered us free drinks. This meant that the people who stole our table were not only served, but WE were made to wait until another table could be found. I should have expected that the manager would have come out of his office to resolve this issue, but he did not. With regard to the food, those who chose dishes other than the Christmas lunch enjoyed their food, those who chose the Christmas lunch were served an unappetizing mess, which was lukewarm at best (and then only in places) and the plates were cold. The vegetables arrived long after we had begun to eat; the waitress apologized and said she had forgotten. She had also forgotten the serving spoons. When I asked for some, the barman brought a dessert spoon, explaining that it was all he could find in the kitchen. At the end of the meal, no-one came to clear away the dishes or to ask if we wanted dessert or coffee. All in all, it was a most disappointing (and personally embarrassing, since I had recommended the venue to my friends) experience. I do not blame the staff, who are young, inexperienced and were under considerable pressure on a major event day. What they lack is thorough training and good leadership: the manager should have sorted out the reservation issue and led by example. He did not. Standards of customer service cannot be expected to improve if this is the norm. MrsCapricorn and I were considering having our Christmas meal at The Rose and Crown; however, we have now resolved to book elsewhere. My advice to you is to do likewise.

Called in to the Rose and Crown on Wednesday - pub fairly empty but we had been there for a drink on a Sunday lunchtime when it was packed and the reviews from the new owners looked pretty good. Menu was typical pub food and pretty cheap. I had a chicken and chorizo salad - very small pieces of both hiding under the lettuce - not good at all - it must have cost 10p in ingredients My wife had fish and chips which was overcooked very dry and the batter was very hard - terrible Our friends had the steak and ale pie which looked and tasted (so i was told) delicious and the pulled pork sandwich which was also excellent. So how good is it - well if I owned a cafe/restaurant/pub and a customer said that something wasn't great and explained why - I would knock it off the bill - but she was offered a dessert free of charge which wasn't really the point as nobody else was having a dessert. Pity really as we do eat out a lot and I would have loved to have given it 5 /5 but couldn't. Next time I'll order the pie:(

Lovely atmosphere and interior. Really nice. Food was tasty too and lots of it. Was a little disappointed with the lack of onions with the sausage and onion sardine, more like sausage and onion gravy, but still really tasty and the bread was gorgeous. Will be going again

I had the steak and ale pie with all the trimmings. Gorgeous, unfortunately could not eat it all with their been to much, followed by ice_cream with fresh cream. Be back soon.

Lovely pub, cosy and good grub! My only gripe is presentation. I am a gin drinker. Gin is big buisness now, however nice presentation in a gin balloon with fruit to suit is a must. Gin here is Just served in a half pint glass....

We ended up here by accident as Spoons was too busy. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, great food. They are also very child friendly, which made our trip more relaxing. We will be making a trip to Otley just to come back here :)

My wife and I went yesterday Sunday 3rd November 2019. We had Sunday roast and the portions were small. 3 small thin slices of beef which were quite tough, a burnt yorkshire pudding, a small spoon of mash, 2 small roast potatoes, a little few...

Food absolutely superb service wonderful prices very very good all home cooked food from scratch😊definitely will come again well done 👍

It isnt always necessary to book except for Sunday lunch, but this was easy and the phone answered by a very pleasant man.The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. The only slight niggle was the plates weren't hot but as some of...

Brilliant food and service. Couldn’t fault the Sunday dinner. Dog friendly. Great value too. I had beef and it was better than I’ve had at other places where I’ve paid twice the price.

I had lunch here today with my friend, we both ordered a sandwich. I had a tuna and cheese melt and my friend had the chicken and bacon melt. They were both delicious and a really good size. It didn't take too long to come...

Rose and Crown in Otley excellent food served by friendly staff in refurbished interior. Enjoyed lunch - Sarnies served with the home made chips and dressed salad. Would definitely recommend. Good new menu includes Sunday Roast £9.95.

The Crown and Rose is located in Otley is now under new management with a new refurbished interior and menu. We have visited Otley many times and we have walked past here many times but we noticed the new menu in the window and we...

Had sunday lunch. Beef not bad. Yorkshire pudding fair. Plenty of vegerables. Roast potatoes not crispy. Whole thing spoilt at nothing was served hot. Even gravy was luke warm. Staff lovely.

We heard about this from family, we called in for Sunday lunch, so glad we did, we were made welcome as soon as we walked through the door, the food (Sunday lunch) was delicious, not the cheapest but thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

We visited last week and both enjoyed a gammon so we thought we would try the Sunday Lunch. The food and service was fine. We will not return as the volume of the ‘music’ was horrendously high. Why???

We called into the rose &crown and so glad we did. The service is so polite and friendly very attentive.the venue is very clean fresh and a great atmosphere. The food is of very high quality and value Cooked to perfection with great presentation. A...

A much needed change of landlords and staff has turned the Rose and Crown around. Really friendly and welcoming (but not in your face!). We had booked elsewhere for a birthday celebration meal that was unable to serve us so, at last minute, the Rose...

Took my dad out for Sunday lunch as was impressed. The pub has had a brand new refit it's really smart and cosy. The Sunday dinner was excellent we both had the turkey dinner and the service was friendly and efficient, definitely recommend.

Took my dad out for Sunday lunch and was really impressed. The pub has had a complete refit and looks really smart and the Sunday lunch (turkey dinner) was absolutely spot on. The service was efficient and very friendly too. Definitely recommend.

Lo visitamos hoy por primera vez desde su reapertura (5 personas). Eramos clientes habituales antes de esta nueva administración y siempre hemos disfrutado de la calidad de los alimentos y las raciones frente a los precios. Lamentablemente, hoy el servicio fue una decepción para nosotros. Reservamos una mesa a las 3 pm para el almuerzo. Después de que las órdenes se tomaron con bastante rapidez, la comida llegó a las 16:15; Con más de una hora de espera, nadie vino una vez para comprobar si necesitábamos algo o para pedir disculpas por la espera. Cuando eran alrededor de las 16:00, uno de nosotros fue a verificar si llegaban los pedidos y nuevamente no hubo disculpas. Pedimos 3 pescado y patatas fritas, 1 filete de lomo (no podíamos pedir más, ya que era su última pieza!), 1 lasaña. Descubrimos que el pescado rebozado era bastante aceitoso, una porción muy pequeña de papas fritas a lo que solíamos tener allí antes. Los otros invitados disfrutaron de su elección. Cuando pedimos la factura, el pescado y las papas fritas habían sido cobrados de manera incorrecta. Aunque la comida puede ser buena, hay muchos lugares donde puede obtener un servicio mucho mejor. Cualquiera que sea la razón detrás del mal servicio, habríamos sido más comprensivos si alguien se hubiera molestado en venir y verificar si estábamos bien, como preguntarnos si necesitábamos más bebidas o decirnos que tuvimos que esperar tanto. . . . por ahora, ya no es la rosa y la corona que solía amar.

Nosotros (esposa, hija pequeña y yo) visitamos hoy por primera vez, ya que mi bisabuelo era el propietario en 1911 y tenía muchas ganas de ver el pub mientras recorría la zona. Recibimos una cálida bienvenida del nuevo propietario que solo había reabierto el pub unos días antes. El interior parece haber sido recientemente renovado. La cerveza y la comida eran excelentes, al igual que el servicio amable. Inicialmente estaba un poco escéptico acerca de entrar al lugar cuando se veía desde afuera, pero estaba muy feliz de haberlo hecho y definitivamente volvería.

As we didn't eat here i cannot comment the standard of any food but the range of beers, cider, wine and spirits is very good. Service was both very prompt and friendly, with the bar staff giving some good guidance.

Just been too the quiz. Fab evening with super hosts and a free bowl of the most delicious stew to boot. Highly recommend this pub now. Very welcoming.

Good traditional pub grub. The steak and kidney pie is excellent.

Myself and family visited today for some lunch after a drive around, we saw the A boards that advertised lunch so thought we'd give it a try! We weren't disappointed. Absolutely lovely friendly lady that served us, was lovely to my son and made us feel very welcome. The overall feel of the pub was great, nice and cosy, although some music in the background could add to the ambience. My sister and I ordered fish and chips and my partner ordered a mixed grill. Fantastic food, great portion size, delicious and good value for money! What a lovely pub! Will definitely be back.

I popped into Otley for a pint this evening with some friends. This pub was the first one we came across and was absolutely dead (which should have said it all really), but we gave it a shot regardless. As soon as the lady at the bar began to pull my disappointingly flat pint of Landlord through what must have been the filthiest of lines, a swarm of fruit flies surrounded us and spent most of their time lingering around (and inside) our drinks. Enter this pub at your own risk, absolutely disgusting.

MrsCapricorn and I, having suffered the awfulness of what has become of the Black Bull, decided to give the Rose and Crown a try for Sunday lunch. It was a very good decision.

The Rose & Crown in Otley is a legend.

Went for Sunday lunch and had roast beef. Surprisingly tender and nice gravy. Reasonable size portion and plenty of veg and nice roast potatoes. No complaints really. Enjoyed it. Had desert which was a bit greedy as full. Wish staff would smile a bit more.

Yo y un grupo de otros siete amigos medio señora edad hizo que nuestra primera visita a Otley para un fin de semana. Haber tenido una comida en un restaurante italiano local, fuimos a el Rose and Crown para probar y terminar la noche con una bebida al final. Admittededly fue después de la medianoche, pero el pub estaba todavía lleno de gente y el propietario no nos permitía. Él era muy agresiva y estaba totalmente y su manera os dejéis embaucar. Una señora que nos supondrá la señorita tierra bastante desagradable era igual. No la cálida bienvenida a Otley habiamos experimentado en otros lugares de la ciudad. Sin duda, una pareja que no merece el comercio!

Almorzaremos en este pub encantador. la mayoría de los sábados. La comida siempre es de primera clase, no importa lo que la orden, el bistec y el riñón pastel es para morirse y el asador es magnífica.

Pensamos que habíamos cometido un error, caminamos hacia el comedor y me dieron vuelta por propietario y dijeron que no podían sentar, menú era un poco diferente de muchos pequeños y comida de pub, así que la calidad y el tamaño de la porción de todos un precio muy razonable. Un pub antiguo precioso impecablemente limpias, dirigido por (lo que resultó ser una pareja encantadora vieja).

Food is lovely here, very consistent i've never had a bad meal. The prices are so cheap for the amount you get. I had the salmon which was cooked perfectly. The pub has a lovely 'home-feeling' to it.

Fuimos allí para mi viernes pescado y patatas fritas y me quedé muy contento QUE YO.

Called in after a morning shopping with my friend. Never been before however we will be returning soon. On arrival asked if did a cheryade (baby craving) was told no however the lovely lady offered to make me her version to try exceptional service as normally would of just been a flat no. She did make this and it was fab! Ordered some food and again was not disappointed large portions and fresh! Very reasonably priced. Again I am looking forward to returning.

We were a little pressed for time as we were enroute to the nearby airport. Explained this to the landlady who steered us toward ordering the turkey roast of the day since it would be quick to serve, other meals all being cooked from scratch. Fair enough, and the meal was appetising and generously served. The pub itself is quaint and traditional and obviously popular with pensioners. The manner in which we were spoken to by the landlady was somewhat disrespectful and off-putting and unfortunately distracted from the overall experience.

Was disappointed with the attitude of the land lady, we called in to look at the menu so we could call back after shopping for some lunch. We where just about to say we would call back as lunch wasn't been served yet. The land lady turned to her which I presumed was her husband. Loudly replied I told you they wouldn't I had them Sussed out they wouldn't and gave us a dirty look. The menu looked nice , but thought as they wasn't serving food yet we would call back. I found this very ignorant because we was just about to say we will call back . All I can say you sussed us out wrong and jumped to conclusions . We was going to book your xmas meal to bring bring family over as it looked nice . If that's how you treat your customers I don't think we will be calling again. We called into a nice little pub and had a lovely meal .

MY FAMILY & i have been frequent visitors to yThe rose &crown for at least 10years. Sue &Ian that run it are superb....welcoming, efficient, personable, &above all friendly.Food is served mon to friday 12- 2.30, longer on saturdays, and till five on sundays.The food is remarkable for a number of reasons...its freshness, its use of local sourced meat and veg, its wonderful flavours, its broad range, and not forgetting its amazing portion sizes!As my Dad says "if there was a Nobel Prize for gravy, this place would win it hands down!" I dread the day when they retire, because gems like this are so very, very rare.

I visited this afternoon. They had finished serving food but sue made an exception as I have been in before and it was just for one.Chicken and asparagus pie is superb, overly generous in size. Homemade and full of flavour.The service I received was lovely. Sue, Ian and the chef (don't know his name- sorry) we're very polite, bags of personality and attentive.Some of the negative reviews do not do the place justice. Give it a try- its as if it is a hidden gem in the heart of the town! Will be back! Thanks.

I ordered the roast beef sandwich , the meat was well lush and to top it off it came with a gorgeous side salad which included pasta, coleslaw and potato salad . I cleared the plate including my potato salad which I normally don't like!! the seating area was clean and tidy and very comfortable . The staff was warm, friendly and very hospitable, checking my food was ok and I was content . the meal was brought out pretty rapid which is great as its not recommended to keep a pregnant lady waiting too long for food. would recommend to friends.

Had high hope but left disappointed. Place full of flies (not their fault) put me off carvery. Had a spicy chicken dish that wasn't at all spicy very plain in fact. Yorkshire. Pudding to start(frozen) and onion gravy (onions) not cooked enough. Very old fashioned pub staff friendly but food poor. Southern fried chips served with everything. Niece had fish and chips and fish very over done. Portions large but lacking in taste.

Food was mainly frozen. Southern fries with everything. Loads of flies around which was off putting. Staff friendly enough but the food is awful.Will not be returning

Just called here for some tea and decided to sit in the beer garden as food wasn't being served till 6 and TWO BIG RATS ran from one door and into another !!!! No thanks think this place needs a clean and tidy and de-rating first!!!!!!

My friend and I were meeting some others at this pub when we visited. I will point out it was after midnight so they weren't letting anyone else in. The security guard, however neglected to tell us this in an appropriate manner when we tried to enter and began shouting at us and being very aggressive when trying to shove us out the door. We tried calmly to explain the situation but he was rude and i was absolutely disgusted not to be able to meet my friends. I will not be returning

This pub is a rarity and should be treasured by the people of Otley. It offers good old fashioned value for money and food to match. We visited with some trepidation having read an adverse review. However my fear was sidelined by the thoughts of the steak and kidney pudding. We were welcomed by the landlady who said they were fully booked but she would make sure we had a table in ten minutes. It was well worth the short delay.The food was very good with the steak and kidney bordering on legendary. There was enough food for even the heartiest appetite.The landlady seems to have a very good rapport with all her regulars and the barman acted as a taxi organiser in between all his other duties. We were very pleased we made the effort.The pub is very well situated just 250 yards from the Sainsburys car park. Give it a go.

I am regular visitor to this pub and have never had to complain about the staff or food. After ordering you sometimes have to wait for the food, but then again it's always well prepared and hot, the portions are always on the generous side. If you are dining on a Sunday it is best to book beforehand.

Great food , great value , great hosts,I would not dream of going elsewhere. See You Sat, 17/7/16.Try this pub, you won't be sorry.

Visited here on a Friday night for the first time in years. My friends had all bought drinks but I felt I had had too many and didn't want to be ill so decided to go without. I sat down in the corner of the pub, not causing any fuss, only for the landlady to hunt me down and have a go at me in front of all my friends, saying she had been watching me all night and that if I didn't leave or buy a drink she would get the bouncer. If none of us were drinking I could understand her frustration but I felt picked on for being responsible and as a result she not only lost my future custom but the custom of my 5 friends. Not very profitable for the buisness. Rude and aggressive.

Traditional Pub In Otley centre , Very friendly staff, Excellent food, , We all had the Super roast beef dinner., which came with with freshly prepared vegetablesBest pub in the area and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended, we really enjoyed it

Decided to visit on Sunday for lunch haven't been for a while took my 2 daughters and there fellas and we weren't disappointed. We all decided on the Roast Beef dinner there was plenty the plate was filled with beef and it wasn't thinly cut topped with a homemade Yorkshire pudding with carrots,peas, broccoli new potatoes and roast potatoes all in separate dishes so we could help ourselves we were asked if we required anything else so we asked for more gravy which came in a gravy boat and ramekins of horseradish and mustard it was lovely just like homemade,we then decided to check out the puddings even though we were stuffed, we got sticky toffee and custard, apple pie and custard and 2 of us got the chocolate fudge cake with ice cream again it was lovely well presented and really nice and all for the price of £69.00 can't beat it we will definitely be back.

Our visit to the Rose & Crown was for sunday lunch highly recommended by friends whilst visiting Yorkshire and we were not disappointed. ... Excellent food and service - Huge portions of food & superb value for money.A hidden gem - Highly recommend to all. Many thanks!

This pub serves huge portions and a lot gets wasted. Unfortunately the chips are the spicy variety rather than ordinary home cooked chips. One portion is enough for three people. The place is extremely worn and in need of a huge makeover. Drinks very expensive: my sister nearly passed out at £2.50 for a coke which is a lot dearer than pubs in her area. Service rather haphazard and lukewarm depending on who serves. Reasonable prices on food but smaller portions at half price would be better.

For food to die for on a lunch time you cannot beat the quality and quantity . The hand carved meat is fantastic and the steak and kidney pie gorgeous. All the food is great ***********

A lovely traditional pub selling real ale good selection of other drinks. We had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with vegetables new and roast potatoes. The portions were extremely generous well cooked and very tasty. Good friendly service. All in all an excellent Sunday lunch which was certainly the best I have found locally. Also sensible prices £8.50 a meal. Next time I will try the lamb.

Went with my lunchtimes all with hearty appetites. A bit gloomy decor and a longish wait for the food. The food was lovely freshly made - steak and kidney pie the best ever - awesome portions of mixed grill and beef and Yorkshire pudding - all quite magnificent and great value for money.Will definitely go again!

A substantial and satisfying lunch. Just go in on an empty stomach and don't be in too much of a hurry to leave-lovely roasts, pies, chicken and puds!

Been trying various places recently for Sunday Lunch. This has been the only one I will go back too. Not fancy but plentyful and tasty. See you soon.

We eat here relatively regularly and have never been disappointed. The food is excellent and the portions are huge (we don't need to eat again for the rest of the day, even having just sandwiches for lunch!). Home cooking takes a bit longer so be prepared for a short wait but it is definitely worth it. We have always been made to feel welcome, even having a toddler in tow, with our daughter usually getting special attention! The atmosphere is quiet and the pub tends to be a favorite of 'older' customers but it is friendly, clean, and the food and service are superb. Definitely able to cater for any occasions - a snack lunch to a celebratory gathering. We have had no hesitation in taking friends / family to this pub. Thank you!

A fabulous pub in this lovely town. Best get in early as service can flounder when under the cosh. The best Steak n Kidney pie of all time! Lovely hosts, wide selection of lunch favourites all home cooked. Highly recommended !

Went for a meal as they advertised as being part of a discount card available locally. Arrived and was empty but still no welcome. We had to ask for a menu, which had to be sought out as not readily available. Sat down and a woman sauntered over, like we were an inconvenience, and took out order after 10 minutes and being prompted. Not a good start. The ambience was bleak. The food arrived after 15-20 mins and portions were huge (far too big) and could not all be eaten. The food was excellent. On wanting to pay we had to seek somebody out again and was informed that they were no longer part of the discount club so we ended up paying full price- not happy as this is one of the reasons we went: no apology, explanation or anything either. Shame they could not be bothered to remove thir name from the list of participating businesses; we rang up the promoter to inform them and they said they had not been told the pub wanted to be removed from the list either!! Getting people in under false pretences- unsurprising really as the place was empty the entire time, but a shame as the food was excellent. Service and a welcoming atmosphere is sadly lacking.

There seem to be polarised views on this pub and I can only surmise it isn't what some people are looking for. We are occasional visitors to the area and I would agree it attracts mostly an older crowd as it offers a traditional pub meal at great prices. It is downright wrong to say it isn't clean. Yes, it is an older establishment but the substantial amount of brass is polished to gleaming - that includes to footrest around the bar. The toilets are again, old fashioned but very clean. All around the windows are very clean - showing whoever is cleaning has an attention to detail. I went in a popular tea shop in the same town on the same day and around the windows in the ladies looked like they hadn't been cleaned for two years. I would have absolutely no worries about cleanliness in the Rose and Crown and say quite the opposite - it is spotless. The roast pork baguettes are fabulous and the chips are some of the best. I would love to have this pub as my local and suggest the detractors are ignored. I put 4 on service as it has a semi-table service so definitely more like a pub than a restaurant.

After avoiding this pub for some time, I thought I'd give it another go. Sadly, it was like groundhog day with the same small selection of desperate-looking customers, a miserable landlady and very tired decor. The food was cheap and edible so I can see why it attracts the small number of pensioners at the prices. But why has such a lovely building been allowed to deteriorate like this? Time for a big change !

We booked for six people , four people had the beef, one had the lamb and one had the steak and kidney pie, We all agreed that it was one of the best Sunday dinners we had had for a long time. My Dad said it was the best steak and kidney he has ever had and the meal was a celebration for his 76th birthday. The landlady was very good . The meal was so filling , a pity really as the puddings looked fantastic and we had no room for them. never mind i know we will be going back. Thank you for looking after us so well .

Always return here on a visit to Otley to see family. Bar staff are friendly and welcoming, food is delicious whatever you order. This time we both had roast lamb which was tender with lovely homemade mint sauce. Have sampled a lot of meals here, sandwiches are HUGE with an excellent range of salads, chips are the best in Otley and pies/lasagne/stroganoff better than any other pub around. I would highly recommend a visit to the Rose and crown, you will not leave hungry or unsatisfied! bravo!

What a lovely venue to have our Xmas in july meal. There was 16 of us (so quite a large party to have everything ready at the same time) all the food was presented beautifully. We did receive some funny looks from the other customers as we pulled crackers and put on our paper hats.

Decided to try something new so headed to otley! What a gorgeous pub! Ordered pâté starter and then I ordered mixed grill and my friend the steak and kidney pie. Well, what a feast we were presented with! The pâté come with 2 generous slabs and 6 triangles of toast! This alone filled me up. Then out came the mains, the steak and kidney pie filled the plate there was no skimping on filling! My mixed grill was lovely although I felt the burger was somewhat out of place. All in all a lovely visit

As a regular for three years plus I will never set foot in this pub while ever the current management are in place. They are rude and disrespectful.

Called in mid-week lunchtime. Chose the stew and dumplings plus we had an extra portion of chips. Stew was delicious and no skimping on the meat. Turned out quite a substantial lunch and didn't really need the chips. Very nice.

I have never been so offended by anyone in my life, as soon as i opened my mouth and the owner heard my Scottish accent i was made to feel so uncomfortable that i left the drink i ordered and walked out! RUDE does not even come close i will not be revisiting or recommending if your Scottish don't go to this pub

We had just arrived in Otley after a long walk. We could not get into some of the other pubs so settled in at the Rose and Crown. Very welcoming with a good choice of food. Excellent range of beers. The waitress explained that the meals we ordered may take a bit longer than normal but as we were enjoying the drinks it did not matter. Two of us ordered the lemon chicken and the others ordered the roast beef. When the meals arrived there was more than enough to satisfy our hunger. The delicious lemon chicken had been prepared from fresh ingredients (hence the slight delay) and came perfectly presented. The accompanying chips were perfectly cooked.The roast beef came with freshly prepared vegetables. Altogether a well above average pub meal.

It should have been packed on market day in Otley, but worryingly quietThe ambiance was subdued with only a couple of men at the bar.The interior was clean but without character, no doubt the lack of customers accounted for some of this.The bar meals were surprisingly good. obviously not pre-frozen. i particularly liked the Chilli Con Carney..Could be a real find with a little effort.
