The Rose & Crown in Shepway

After a long 2hour dog walk, 4 hoomans & 5 bassets , we visited here for a fantastic Sunday lunch, food was absolutely delicious, I had the beef and it was so tasty & tender, others in my group had the pork and they found it delicious too! Cauliflower cheese was included with the beef and it was so tasty, highly recommend Will definitely be returning 😃❤️

Nice meal, I'll be back Great garden out the back.

procedure there is another Rose & Crown on a high street in a more rural area and closer to Calais

Rustic village pub with dining room and log fire. Paved beer garden with rooms across the courtyard. Good value for money with full English breakfast. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Good place to stay when walking the Elham Valley Way. Big comfortable room, hearty supper and breakfast, wine from local Simpsons winery and very friendly hosts.

Atmospheric half-timbered building with a wonderful open fireplace. Extremely prompt and efficient service from Henry at front of house. Small menu with the accent on fresh, local produce. Less elaborate than the much-hyped King's Arms next door (see my review of their restaurant), but far better value for money. Deserves to be better known. Thanks to the chef and bar staff.

Had Sunday lunch here. The food was delicious and plentiful. Let down by the sparse dining area which was also freezing cold and draughty. The fire hadn't been lit early enough (usually 8a.m. we were told) supplementary heaters were totally inadequate for the size of the room. When possible we moved to a table next to the log fire, which was better but other diners arriving later than us had no choice but to keep their coats on. Sadly on leaving through the bar area, noticed it was much warmer and were disappointed not to have been offered alternative table in there. It would have made for a much nicer experience all round.

We held our mum's wake here and Martin, Henry and their colleagues couldn't have been kinder. The room was lovely, great food and they really looked after us. Martin even gave us a lift home at the end. A really great pub, I'd highly recommend.

Pub is lovely but some of the rooms need updating .

We had a wonderful evening with the family, a great meal, with attentive service, followed by a game of darts. The music and ambience was fantastic. A proper pub! 👌

Excellent food, the roast potatoes and beef were amazing! Such a friendly atmosphere I was definitely made to feel welcome. The village is aIso really pretty ideal for a country walk to walk off lunch! Highly recommend.

A lovely warm and cosy pub with a welcoming atmosphere. Great food and reasonable prices.

A lovely, friendly pub. My wife and I popped in for a pint 🍻 or two whilst out for a walk. Friendly service and a lovely fire to warm us up.

Had such a great meal last night at the Rose. Chefs Special was sea bass and it was comparable to what you might hope to get at a top restaurant. Served with a separate dish of scalloped potatoes, grilled baby plum tomatoes, spinach it was first rate. Great atmosphere, good service too. Thank you Rose and Crown 👍🏼

A nice pub, only had a beer and left but felt welcome, nice outdoor area, lovely fireplace with fire going, billiards table, served spitfire lager so defo will be returning in near future

Had a lovely meal and staff were very friendly. Will be back.

Best pot of tea! Had 3 cups out of it all for 2 pounds!

We stayed in the Pub for two nights with our dog. The whole team where very friendly and accommodating. There is a really nice local atmosphere in the pub. The food, we had breakfasts and an evening meal which both where Well cooked, high quality, well presented, delicious meals. The room we stayed in was huge, clean and well equipped. It can be tricky to find good quality dog freindly placed to stay so we would highly recommend the Rose & Crown to anybody. The location is also very good for seeing Kent. We got the bus from just outside to south coast and or Canterbury to allow for day drinking 😀

The new managers are really pulling out all the stops whole getting this neglected pub a face lift. Service is exemplary. Wine delicious. And their attention to detail with the menu, that includes a healthy approach to those of us who are vegan, is second to none in this village; even outstripping the newly revamped gastro pub, the King's Arms. If you want smiling service that is fast with a daily prepped and cooked meal...this is the place to head to.

Sea bream was beautifully cooked and delicious. Staff were all very friendly.

Great lunch. The pub has a refreshed feel, we were greeted on arrival and had a delicious lunch. A good menu choice and the food arrived hot and well presented. Would definitely recommend and hope that this lovely old pub thrives under its new management.

Had a great light lunch today from the starter menu. New owner and staff extremely friendly and helpful. Look forward to coming back again.

A lovely local.. super staff. Visit for drinks only but professional friendly staff Second visit and super atmosphere!

We were passing through en route tunnel to France. New owners made us very welcome. Food was good value, tasty and interesting. Weave some feed back regarding the ambience of the restaurant which was taken appreciatively. I hope they do think about it as the food is really worth the visit but the atmosphere a bit like school dinner room. Needs a feminine touch I think and bit of thought on lighting. We would definitely recommend it for the food, the welcome and the service. They are very new there and I wish them well.

We stopped in for lunch on the odd chance and will definitely return again soon. The pub is under new management and it is an unexpected gem offering great food with a varied menu that changes every week. The ingredients are top quality and used in an inventive way, ensuring there is something for every taste. I I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of vegetation dishes, which looked very tempting even for meat eaters. My cauliflower soup was stunning and my partner thoroughly enjoyed his crayfish starter. After much cogitation we both had burgers and were not disappointed. The bun was lovely and it made a nice change that it was not brioche. The burger itself was substantial and very tasty, with a nice herby aftertaste. This was finished off with a lovely salad dressing and good chunky chips that were some of the best I've tasted in a while. Unfortunately we had to dash but we would like to return to sample a pudding which I've no doubt will be as generous and tasty as the other courses. Our experience was helped by the genuine warm welcome we received from the staff and atmosphere of the bar which was relaxed and charming despite being quite quiet as it was slightly after lunch; the pub is open for for food most of the day which is a huge bonus. This is definitely a place where you can relax and while the away the time. As this wasn't enough this is all set in one of the most historically authentic and atmospheric places I've been lucky enough to visit. There are plenty of old beams, bare bricks which are offset by a huge fireplace, which I'm sure is lovely in winter. We would both recommend this lovely place not only for the food but for the people and atmosphere as well.

Had a lovely Sunday roast today.The beef just melted in your mouth. Very tasty and really great value. It's under new management for the last 3 months and their doing a great job with the food and service, their very friendly and attentive. Would definitely go again.

We stayed for two nights over the weekend - not only were we greeted with such friendly staff/ower/manager, the vibe of the pub is so homely, beautiful, relaxing with great atmosphere. The room was such a lovely size and breakfast was incredible! Tasty and fresh. Martin should be incredibly proud of what he and his team have achieved in the short time they have been at the Rose & Crown. Genuinely such an accommodating and lovely place with even lovelier people. We want to thank you all (including Traveller the border terrier) for such a wonderful stay! We'll be back. (Love the tyrants from room 6).

Very good Sunday lunch. Lamb was very tasty, beef curry was excellent and the service was great. Very happy to see the Rose & Crown back under new management.

We turned up on a Friday night without a booking and had no trouble getting a table. The restaurant was busy and the pub a little understaffed but they did a great job, it is a nice change from being rushed out from a restaurant in 2 hours! The food was delicious and great value for money, everything was hot, nicely presented and cooked well. The homemade hoummus was divine! The prices are reasonable and we definitely left feeling well fed.

Le tenancier passe plus de temps à discuter en italien en cuisine plutôt que derrière son comptoir où il faut attendre 15mn pour avoir une bière. Il prend la commande... mais au bout de 45mn toujours pas servie. Il rappelle les cuisiniers prêts à partir. 10mn plus tard apparaît la "seafood salad" dont la salade est déjà fanée entre les quelques calamars, anchois et crevettes sans saveur. La ciabatta qui devait accompagner se fait attendre. Elle aussi, oubliée. Pendant que je mange, le fanfaron chante au bar alors que je suis le seul client. Je le pense alcoolisé. Bref, évitez le lieu et privilégiez les vrais pubs plus au proches de Canterbury à 7 km.

Staying nearby & booked Friday night meal here - nice choice on the menu, reasonably priced, well presented & nicely cooked. Nice contemporary decor & warm welcome. It was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night which was a shame for them as a nice little pub.

So disappointed -,we booked at 7:30pm for our 20th anniversary for a special meal. Service was awful -,they closed the kitchen before we had finished our meal and didn’t even clear our plates. Food was v mediocre and v over priced. Aperol spritz was flat and beer was poor too. Sadly we would not recommend at all , very sad as we are local and trying to support local business. Much better to stay at home or get a take away!! We were told kitchen was closed at 9 pm and were not able to finish our meal with dessert or coffee. Never experienced such awful customer service. Avoid!!

So nice to enjoy good quality, good value and good service once more at the Rose & Crown in Elham. Excellent Sunday lunch with the family. The new tenants deserve our full support. Try it and see!

A very pleasant experience. Excellent food, excellent service and lovely surroundings. Very good value for money

We had an awful meal and got charged on our bill for items we hadn't ordered. I sent an email to the pub explaining all the problems and expected a reply. When I didn't receive a reply I went to the pub and asked to see the owner/manager he was in the garden but wouldn't face me to discuss problems. That is why I am writing this review. The steak was very well done when we asked for it to be rare. The food was very salty. I asked for a fizzy water and was told they didn't have water but soda water was added to my red wine. I had to ask for a refund which was reluctantly given on the items we hadn't had. Very disappointed.

Awful experience and would not recommend to anyone - this used to be a nice pub but after the treatment we experienced the other night, we will not return. My partner and I (local to Elham) came for a meal on Saturday night and the restaurant was fairly busy, but there was only one person serving, as well as occassionally working on the bar. We were very understanding of this when it took a long time to get our food, even though there was no real acknowledgement of how understaffed they clearly were. After finishing our main we waited patiently to have our empty plates removed and order our desserts - in this time another table received their food, had it taken away and had their bill brought over and settled. After our patience wore out, we were trying to catch the employee’s attention and it felt like we were being deliberately ignored - we ended up being the last table left in the restaurant and were still waiting to get our dessert menus! I had to go over to the bar to find help and to place our dessert orders, at which point I was bluntly told that the kitchen had closed. This seemed like a sudden change when all night we had been very polite and friendly to eachother, and we were simply trying to be understanding that the staff were busy and would get to us. When I questioned why we were not informed of this, as we were ready to order long ago and she could see we were waiting, there was no real response. We were forced to come up to the bar and pay, where again there was no communication or actual apology. Not only is it poor service and tainted a rare night out for us, it makes no business sense either why we were essentially refused business with no warning. We will not be coming back and would like to warn anyone else who may be treated in the same way. Additional negatives we found were the rowdy bar - which not only affected the atmosphere of the dining experience, but also felt intimidating and meant we didn’t complain to the extent we wanted to at the time - and the fact that later adding up the bill we realised that we were overcharged. If this was a service charge added without even showing us a receipt, when the whole issue was that we had no service, it would really round off this ridiculous experience!!!

Enjoyed an excellent delicious dinner with friends at this beautiful pub restaurant in Elham. The small plates of calamari squid and lamb were so flavorful. For dinner the lamb and pork entrees were beautifully presented and amazed. Truly an unexpected pleasure and restaurant staff: manager...

Delicious food and good choice on the menu so it was difficult to choose but everything we had was delicious. There was a nice warm fire which made the place cosy. Was surprised that we were the only customers as it’s such a nice place...

Thank you to Chanelle who looked after us yesterday, she was lovely and really efficient. The food was tasty and well presented. Definitely recommend this pub and we would certainly return. Also, it’s nice to see the pub have clearly listened to the below reviews,...

Family Sunday lunch here. Food was generally good...the salt and pepper squid and mussels especially Mushroom pate not nice..However restaurant a little stark and lacking atmosphere...a few small touches such as a small vase of flowers or candle on the tables and some quiet background....

Had dinner here tonight, the pub's third night since relaunch. I brought my children, who are budding food critics, and we all thought it was fantastic. We made it through 3 courses, expertly guided by Chloe, and it was all excellent. The beer and atmosphere...

My regular pub shame about the change of ownership due the pandemic conditions, always had a warm welcome, this goes a long way with the wife and I.

Definitely the best Sunday takeaway roast for miles. We've tried most of them an the Rose and Crown is by far the best. Thank you !

A cursory greeting upon arrival. The venue was cold and the menu seemed a tad limited, but that not totally unexpected in these difficult times. Food although reasonably well presented was warm rather than hot. Virtually zero customer interaction. A great shame as pub is...

We came here during the Covid recovery period and took advantage of the Eat Out to Help Out Scheme. We had a nice meal and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Lovely rural countryside pub. Lovely location, great food and excellent service- we are always greeted with a smile and we always feel welcome back. Thank you!

Only went for drinks but had a friendly welcome and good service. This is also the post office what a great idea.

We had a lovely weekday lunch in the Rose and crown. Ambience was great. Lovely fire, staff really friendly and helpful. Food delicious. Not to mention Bruce the dog who was a real character. Will be returning again.

Saturday lunch get together. Two open fires made the inn welcoming upon arrival. Typical pub menu. Food well presented and very tasty. Cheese board highly recommended. Good service, friendly and unobtrusive. Will certainly return.

Although not as advertised, this really is an excellent 3* B&B. The staff were helpful, attentive and friendly, and the food was 10/10. Despite some heating issues, which the landlady compensated us for, we had two lovel nights here. I’d stay again.

We had a sharing seafood platter for my wife's birthday lunch. Really enjoyed it, and the setting in the beer garden with hop vines growing up the walls, and Bruce the pub dog totally ignoring us and he sunbathed. Really enjoyed the Whitstable Bay premium...

All was great apart from the service from the older ladies. Very rude, have zero customer service skills. It’s a shame as that really brings the experience down as everything else was great.

Went to Elham with a colleague for a meeting with one who resides Elham. Great choice, Great food and Great Service. The food is well above average pub food and the dining room is very nice. The service provided by Taylor was excellent and she made us all feel very welcome.If I am there again I would definitely eat t The Rose and Crown and if you are by chance near by go in you will not be disappointed,

My wife and I arrived on the off chance we could get lunch as we did not book. Pub very quiet, restaurant with maybe four tables occupied. We ordered and waited an hour for a roast! Another table of six were also complaining of the wait!Our roast came out with black potatoes, dry inside. Lamb over cooked and tough! A strange colliflower cheese, very yelow! We raised e issue with the waitress when she skied and she politely apologised .When we left, the lady behind the bar, who did not smile once all the time we were there, got our bill, we paid, and she never even asked how our meal was or anything really!All in all, extremely disappointing - we will not go back or recommend!

We met friends for a Sunday lunch. A bit disappointed really. Did not feel particularly welcome, the restaurant was a bit chilly. The lunch was ok but we were served by a youngster who needed a bit more training although she was friendly enough. Senior staff did not smile even though our companions are local people who drink there regularly. Food was average, yorkshire puds a bit burnt. It may just have been an off day but would be reluctant to re-visit based on our experience.

Good old fasioned Roast beef dinner , higly recommend. The beef is mouth watering and cauliflower cheese delicious .

Visited while on holiday with my Girlfriend. The food was well presented and well cooked and the service attentive . The menu wasn't huge but with at least 2 other pubs in a very small village to compete with its probably easier to do less but well .

We had a family celebration here last night 10/11/18. Something along the lines of 35 of us had travelled for the occasion.

A Sunday Roast is my favourite meal, yet it seems hard to find a good pub Sunday roast. I saw an article in the Times about this pub so I thought I’d give it a go. Fantastic food, home made Yorkshire puddings and a really great atmosphere with good service. Make sure you book though as they are busy! A+++++

I visited the Rose & Crown twice in September for dinner and my opinion was the same for both visits.

Live local to Rose & Crown and heard it had been refurbished so went for Friday evening dinner . On arrival -not to busy -checked in -and ordered drinks at bar to be put on our table tab which seemed to be a bit of a problem . Menu for such a large pub was very limited and they were out of fish already . I must say the up front lady behind the bar needs to take on a bit of people skills -very abroubt . We ordered and when our first course was ready shown to a most delightful dining room . Not too many people though . We ordered the crispy prawn cocktail which should as menu been on iceberg lettuce and with bread . neither were in evidence . We then waited a further forty five minutes for our main meal . My lamb was good but the vegetable choice for the time of year was poor . My wifes chicken meal looked dredfull with sweet potato fres cheese bacon and COLD SLAW . This is a lovely pub but it needs a massive shake up and better management .

Four of us went for dinner on a Thursday evening, restaurant not at all busy, only one other couple. Starters were fine but main courses a different story. The chicken meals were tasteless although well presented but the fish and chips were a disaster! The batter on the fish was the colour of aged teak, and so greasy. Eventually the waitresss asked if all was ok and when shown the batter offered to change the fish but the other diners had almost finished so offer was declined, she did take away the plate containing the dark brown greasy batter however. Most of that meal was left on the plate. The other couple in the restaurant also had the dark brown greasy batter on their fish, I noticed that it all went back to the kitchen. When paying the bill the waitress refuse to deduct the price of the fish and chips saying that some of the fish had been eaten! Unbelievable. She actually argued with the diner in the bar. Golden rule of customer service; NEVER argue with a customer! Needless to say we won’t be going back.

A very enjoyable evening at short notice, service was excellent and the food was good. Also the two bottles of wine we had were a reasonable price and went down well.

Menu not large and although table was booked for 7:15pm they had run out of three of the items. Fish, steaks, and one other item which was disappointing. Large wolfhound spread all over the floor by bar impeding access to toilets.

We did not eat in the hotel we were staying at but came over to this pub. Greeted nicely by bar staff and the ale was good. We had dinner in back room area which was atmospheric and cozy. Waitresses were full of Kentish charm and professional. Food was plentiful, hot and very tasty. Drinks and two courses each came at a very reasonable price and we left feeling we had a great meal and evening.

Have visited several times in the past and have always liked the 'Kentish' cosy style of the pub.Also plenty of space,tables are not crammed in as we had pushchair and children with us. We had lunch on a Thursday, family of 5 + toddlers. Menu was great for a lunchtime,sandwiches,paninis,jacket potatoes,sharing platters or mains.Something to suit all tastes.We all all went for mains.Every meal looked and tasted good.Big homemade burgers with homemade coleslaw, beautiful mushroom linguine and large plate of liver and bacon with perfectly cooked veg. We were all extremely pleased with our choices.Owner was pleasant and helpful without being overpowering. We all wanted to praise the chef and owner and would definitely recommend. Price was very reasonable for 5 mains and a round of drinks about £75. Give it a go or revisit before all these lovely country pubs disappear. We will be returning especially as we are fairly local.

we were a small group of 6 waited ages for food to be served when it arrived it was obviously cooked from frozen portions were not good value, we were never asked if everything was satisfactory we had to go and ask or more drinks they were just not attentive at all.

An enjoysble and welcoming pub with great tasty food, just what was needed after country walk in the snow along the Elham Valley Way. Good variety of food available, and open fire. We would go back again.

The food was good although a limited menu, what food we ordered was very nice with the service being very attentive. We would return if in the area again.

The Rose and Crown is a local pub/inn in the heart of Elham, with a car park at the rear. We dined here on Saturday evening and they warned us in advance that they were very busy. It was a Saturday night after all. The service may be a little slow, but we were well prepared, so it didn't worry us. They have a reasonable menu and wine list. We had the Italian meat platter to share for a starter, with the prawn linguine and peri peri chicken for mains, washed down with a Spanish rioja, all very enjoyable.

Went on a Sunday evening at around 6pm but was told that they had stop serving food so had to go elsewhere. Went again for a lunch but menu was limited and not that vegetarian friendly compared to others. Nice interior and was very welcoming though.

Lovely olde worlde pub. Looks like a good local pub whichs makes a nice friendly atmosphere. We all had fish & chips. Good portion & very tasty. Sadly no room for desserts. 3 of us & nice bottle of wine just over £50 so good value too. Will definitely return.

What an experience!!! Great food, friendly staff and it is beautiful inside! Lovely traditional pub, fantastic location as it is right by the bus stops. I couldn't not fault one thing. It is a MUST visit!

Lovely looking pub but the staff are so miserable, the woman who always seems to be there serving is rude and not at all welcoming. Sick and tired of the crappy staff here over the years,

Evening meal was typical pub grub, heavy in content and size its fair value for money and good enough for the first night we stayed. Evening service was fine in marked contrast to breakfast.

We had a meal here and unfortunately was very disappointed. The menu choice was very limited and with very basic meals, nothing really for a special occasion. (Burger and chips, sausage and mash, fish and chips, liver and bacon, vegetarian flan or expensive 8oz steak). We opted for fish and chips, which after a long wait came with burnt batter, very small portion, and cost £12. I have had much better golden pieces of good sized fish and chips in beautiful surroundings for less. The waitress did ask if everything was OK, but on in passing and didn't wait for our reply. Sorry this is not a positive review, but I hope it gets better as the ownership has only recently changed. Oh and the backgroundmusic kept missing a beat, all easy things to remedy.

Sunday lunch here today reminded me of what a good Sunday lunch is all about: having the time to kick back and talk with each other, to talk with the kids (how often do we get to do that in this world of constant electronic distractions?), in a cosy comfortable place with friendly staff and over food worth waiting for.

Very good Fresh Food, politely and efficiently served. A warm cosy atmosphere with open fires. Could do with a few more customers !

Had a lovely man-sized Sunday roast with doggy bag provided for smaller appetites. Unfortunately licencee was leaving following week and chef moving to Etchinghill golf club so cannot guarantee future.

The room was a very good size but the decor could do with an update (also bubbly floor in bathroom).

Popped in for drink on the way back from lunch in Whitstable as heard it was under new management . Lovely welcome at bar with good selection of lagers and most importantly red wine! As we had eaten already didn't dine but looked at menu which was a nice selection . As new proprietors the menu is apparently being revised all the time with local and fresh seasonal ingredients which is pleasing. Will definitely eat next time and possibly book a room to sample the wine selection !

Good size room, very comfortable,large bathroom with plenty of hot water. Good food very large portions, good wine list not to pricey , no guest ales was a bit disappointing.

Have stayed here several times since the mid 1990's and always enjoyed the cosy bar and friendly atmosphere.The rooms in the barn are spacious and attractively furnished in country style with attention paid to details.Personal service at breakfast and excellent value.We understand a new manager is taking over in April so hope this all continues.

fantastic food, lovely set up inside with separate eating sections and log fires Highly recommend and will definitely go again

We have eaten at the Rose and Crown on 4 occasions now and have never been disappointed. The owners are very friendly and the service 1st class. We really enjoyed the open fire and comfy sofas. Fantastic pub food. We will be back!

I visited Elham last evening with friends and we went to the Rose and Crown for a meal.What a disappointment!!We sat down and waited and waited for service.The staff all two of them were more intent on their conversation than serving us so we took our departure and went to another local pub where we were treated very well.

The Rose & Crown is a traditional inn or pub and sits in the idyllic village of Elham, at the heart of Elham valley within the Kent Downs, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Rose & Crown is also the first place in England to introduce bar billiards.

Ambiance cosy autour d'une grande cheminée ouverte. Idéal le soir pour boire quelques pintes de bières locales. Bonne cuisine, plutôt sophistiquée pour un pub. Ambiance sympa d'habitués et de clients de l'hôtel.

I stayed for one night and found the staff friendly and helpful, my room was warm,clean and comfortable and had everything you could wish for. Dinner in the evening was copious and tasty and breakfast (included) was unbeatable with local juices, yoghurts and the choices and variety could not be faulted. Highly recommended at a reasonable price.

We ate here twice. The food was all excellent, beautifully cooked and served by friendly and helpful staff. The wine was good and reasonably priced.

The pub is welcoming and has a good cosy ambience. However the food is plentiful but very standard pub grub level. I would not say I would never go again but I wouldn't make an effort. If you have a good appetite it is reasonable value. We don't and would have preferred much less.

Visited without a booking they were full, but the weather was good and we sat in the garden. Fabulous Sunday Lunch best we have had in a long time, lovely variety of vegetables and plenty to eat would highly recommend a visit. Staff were really nice and service was very quick even though we had been told there would be a wait.

Had a meal here last week,steak and ale pie.To be fair the pie had plenty of content but lacked flavour,also the mixed veg was way overcooked and waterlogged.My companions were generally unimpressed with what they had that evening,maybe the kitchen had an offday i dont know,but have had better.That aside the beer was fine and the pub itself was cosy and welcoming.

Ate a great Sunday roast here, beautifully cooked. 8 different vegetables, perfectly done, not overcooked as so often is the case. Very reasonably priced too. Would recommend it.

After reading a number of good reviews on here, my wife and I decided to give this place a try as we were visiting in the area.

Good and varied menu to suit all tastes. Good variety of ales and lagers. Ice cream deserts best I have ever tasted and are generous in portion size.

Amazing liver and bacon,nicely presented. Friendly pub and staff,nice garden out the back.Overall a pleasant experience.

Wir haben hier schon häufiger übernachtet, wenn wir in Dover ankamen oder bevor wir in Dover die Fähre zurück nahmen. Nettes Hotel, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, gutes Essen und Frühstück. Auch das Dorf ist sehr gemütlich mit schönen alten Häusern.

Four of us ate at the Rose and Crown this evening. Two roast lamb with all the trimmings, one ham, egg and chips - lovely. The lamb arrived as promised and the vegetable selection was absolutely super: cabbage, creamed leeks, carrots, swede, mange tout and cauliflower in a cheese sauce. The thickness and flavour of the ham had to be seen and tasted to be believed and the eggs and chips were perfect. So, what happened to the prawn, crayfish and salmon timbale salad? A prawn salad arrived. No crayfish, no salmon... We queried this and in no time at all, there was a lovely bowl of crayfish and salmon and an apology. A new chef apparently, not quite got to grips with the whole menu yet. Never mind. The food was really good. Next - the puddings: one chocolate brownie, one banoffee mess and one light cheeseboard. All excellent and a very good selection of biscuits, cheese, chutneys and grapes. All in all a lovely meal. It's not the first time we've visited the Rose and Crown and we will definitely be back again.

Visiting area and recommended. Excellent food and setting. Great attention from when we arrived . Landlord immediately explaining beer choice . Prosseco great . I requested several additional items and our waitress Monica was so helpful and attentive, nothing to much trouble . Would highly recommend .
