The Rose & Crown in West Oxfordshire

Fantastic host, very welcoming 😀 wonderful food and lovely friendly staff❤️ Nice garden and very dog friendly. Very picturesque village

I never write a poor review as I fully understand the demands on business today but please don’t take the paying public for granted. The standard and presentation of your ( cheese and crackers) was a joke - 3 small damaged crackers and a minuscule 1 portion of cheese. £4.50

Welcoming pub for dogs and people alike. We had a superb lunch served by the owner who was proud and really cared about the food he was bringing to the table. Great service

Lunch today . Lovely surroundings and a friendly host . Had haddock goujons with a light batter which were delicious.a nice pub worth a visit if even for just a drink

Lovely pub. It was funny because as we came in the locals said 'must be the weekend'. We didn't mind as we are quite local anyhow. Had some good ales and cider on tap. Pub is a bit out of the way and parking a bit limited, but we'll worth the visit. Will go again

We visited the Rose and crown whilst staying in the village on holiday. We found it to be a small, traditional friendly and extremely well run pub. We had a couple of meals there, the food is of very good quality and beautifully cooked, it's was a real treat to eat here. Would highly recommend a visit if your in the area.

Clearly Matt is truly passionate about the quality of food and drink he serves. He apparently has a wealth of experience in high end restaurants and it shows in his knowledge of the food and drink he serves. He sources from local high class local farms and his wife Yvonne cooks your choice to absolute perfection.. Matt is constantly 'eyes on', aware of everything on every table, you don't wait a minute to be seen and served.. He replaced a pint of beer he must have thought was not up to his standard before my husband had even said he wasn't happy with it, but in such a discreet manner, you'd hardly see the switch..No fuss. We ordered the Cote de Boeuf, took his advice as to how it should be served and accompaniments and it was the most amazing tasting, tenderest steak I've ever tasted (and my father was a master butcher)! We spent 10 days in the Cotswold and ate out every day/evening, choosing by reviews by several respectable guides and the internet of course, and this was by far our best meal. Thank you. PS, FYI - I have no previous knowledge of them or bias, just a true review of our meal.

Dropped in for lunch - and what a lunch. Best steak in ages and what I don't know about Longhorn cattle now really isn't worth knowing! Will endeavour to return next week for the sirloin. Great food, great service.

Lovely Cotswold County pub with lots of choice on food & drink. Great weekly specials and attentive staff. The village of Shilton is stunning and well worth a visit.

Lovely cross country walk from Burford to The Rose & Crown for lunch with friends. Could not fault the service, ambience or quality of food. Beef for two people was perfectly cooked (I prefer mine on the rare side) and the accompanying sides were faultless and generous. Good beers and reasonably priced wine completed this excellent lunch. Thoroughly recommend but good idea to book first.

This is without a doubt the best pub restaurant in the Burford vicinity. Exceptional food and a manager / owner whose passion is contagious and who comes from decades of experience in brand name restaurants in London. Constantly changing menu with some staples that remain (tempura prawns!), very cosy, beautiful yet not overdone interior. It’s a pleasure every time. (In case you are wondering, read my other reviews, I am not easy to please.)

I am lucky enough to travel all over the world and can easily say that this is one of the best dining experiences I have had for a long time. From the minute you step inside you are made to feel welcome by Matt & his team who provide melt away service and truly make you feel at home. Stunning plates of food are produced using painstakingly sourced ingredients. You will want to eat it all over again ... if you only you had the room! Beautiful outside & in complete with roaring log fires this truly is a gem. Thank-you for making a birthday memorable. We will definitely be back!

It doesn’t get better than this! We have been here for lunch two days in a row, it is THAT good. The quality of the cooking is really outstanding, the owner Matt is passionate about his pub, his beer and the quality of the ingredients. It really is a treat to come here in this lovely little pub. The tempura prawns and the sticky toffee pudding were fantastic. Thank you Matt and team. We will be back again soon.

We were almost the first to arrive at lunchtime and were welcomed by the owner, Matt, who immediately lit the fire for us as we were chilly. The beautiful small pub soon filled up with happy customers. The food was delicious, with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful, traditional, pub - not very big, but that makes it even more charming, as there is no room for any fuss - no games machines, etc - just full of old Cotswold character. All the meals we've had there have been of exceptional quality in both the products used and the cooking. During the winter has gorgeous wood burning stove which adds even more charm on cold winter afternoons/evenings. During the better weather has a lovely garden area.

We found this little gem after having a day out in Cotswold Wildlife Park. Only 5 minutes drive and you are in the little picturesque village with a great local authentic pub, more important family run business. The roast was amazing and I have to highlight a very attentive staff. We felt very well looked after. Thank you Matt and the team, we will be back. Alex and Mike

Can't speak highly enough of this place. Truly lovely. Matt is everything you want as a publican, friendly, knowledgeable and the food and drink is on an equally high level.

What a beautiful location and beautiful people. Made to feel welcome and the food was delicious! We have truly found a gem!! Landlord was was very warm and friendly. Will definitely come again next time we are in the area!

Quintessential Cotswold village pub..........7 of us celebrated a birthday lunch. Good food, good beer and a helpful landlord and staff. A short distance from Burford and the A40, It's like a local pub used to be, 35 years ago. Will visit again. The village is a gem.

Awesome gem in the cotswolds. We booked last min to celebrate a birthday with the family. The Sunday bbq was excellent with really amazing quality meat, atmosphere was fab with a live band. Owners super friendly and accommodating. Loved it and highly recommend, have a great time relaxing in the sun over good food.

I met a friend here for dinner as it was halfway between us. I will definitely be coming back! The landlord is really lovely and made us feel very welcome, as if we were locals even though it was our first time visiting. It’s a really special small pub that has a small but perfectly delivered menu. Wonderful pubs like this need our support to be able to carry on and I will be very happy to come back and give them more business!

I'm in two minds whether to post this review or not. Here's why. The typical country pub around here does a Sunday Roast. Usually big on portions and sometimes low on interest. Which is why we tend to avoid lunching in a pub on Sunday. The Rose and Crown is resolutely different. And wonderfully so. A massive BBQ out back earns its keep. The pub is already clearly very popular (the place was rammed). I'm reluctant to make it harder for us to book a table in the future. But in the interests of good citizenship... The menu is small - only a few choices. Well chosen choices. So well chosen that I would have happily ordered any of the dishes on it. I tried most of them and they were either brilliant or very brilliant. On a hot summer's day a chilled glass of gazpacho garnished with an emerald green granita of basil, a few flakes of almond and some sourdough (essential to mop up the last few drops of gazpacho) is genius. And that's about the frilliest dish. Everything is very simple - a plate with two fillets of mackerel. A bowl of salad. Some chips if you want. Some prawns in the lightest of tempura batters and a little freshly made chilli sauce. A perfectly cooked mixed grill - straight off the grill - seasoned with its own juices. This is culinary confidence rarely encountered in English establishments. But is only part of the charm of the pub. The rooms and furnishings are equally simple - and somehow their acoustic means you can actually have a conversation with your own table rather than being drowned out by the table behind. But the crowning glory are the staff. How they manage to keep an eye on that many covers I don't know. How they manage to be present when you want them and absent when not required I don't know. How they have time to chat about the food and their plans for the pub whilst still keeping every table ordered, topped up, served and billed I don't know. What I do know is that the Rose and Crown took a celebratory family lunch into an unexpected stratosphere of pleasures. In the words of the venerable guidebook - "worth a deviation". And a word of warning - the pub is so successful that the menu may change two or three times during service. So go with an open mind. You are unlikely to be disappointed.

Matt is a great host and the food was amazing - can highly recommend the tempura prawns and the lamb shank - both were delicious. Will definitely be back soon

My aunties 80th birthday family get together food was great service great staff great would definitely recommend

We decided to visit this small village pub as we wanted to go somewhere different. As we entered, the fire was blazing in the hearth & we received a warm, welcome from the locals and the staff. We would highly recommend the pressed lamb shoulder and the sweet potato tagine - both were delicious!

We visited your pub this Friday evening (six at 6.30pm). The pub was just so welcoming and we had an amazing meal. Thank you so much for looking after us. We will certainly be back when we are in the area. Would highly recommend a visit by anyone visiting the area.

You can't for more that this. The pub is beautiful, simple and very very old. I love it most in the Autumn and Winter, when the fires get lit. I stopped by for a light lunch to check it out for my Cotswold Teacup Tourists and I love it! This is a definite 'must go' on my Cotswold Scenic Tours

Stopped in for lunch with the dog on a Saturday afternoon. The surrounding village is wonderfully charming. The pub is beautifully maintained - simple, sensitive interventions that let the old stone building speak for itself. A seat right by the open fire was perfect on a damp day. Service was attentive and the menu and beers/ciders on tap were spot on. Food was deliciously executed - like the decor, simple and accomplished without fuss. Mains were game and fish pie, and two crumbles for pudding. In the perpetual hunt for the perfect pub, this is a strong contender. Long may it remain so, we hope to return.

It's been a while since I've been out for Sunday lunch, and I was a little hesitant about returning to the Rose & Crown because it had been so good the last time I'd been, before the first lockdown. I needn't have worried because it was excellent. Great food, well cooked, lovely intimate dining area with wonderfully friendly and attentive hosts. Roast beef cooked to perfection with all the trimmings and the best bread and butter pudding ever. It was also lovely not to get 'encouraged' to leave straight after the meal. One of my all time favourite pubs and only a stone's throw from Burford. Highly recommended. Thank you Martin!

I was so impressed by this small pub, the food was divine and the atmosphere welcoming and warm. My partner and I had Sunday lunch in this old pub and the food reminded me of home cooked food. The staff were lovely and friendly, the chef even waited on our table. The beef and lamb were to die for and just the right amount of food. We had two main meals, two puddings and a couple glasses of wine which amounted to around £80. I wouldn't hesitate to go back for another meal.

The lunch for 4 comprised 3 mains, 2 starters a pud, 3 coffees and 2 drinks. Priced at £80 it was middling expensive but good quality, served fresh and hot. The staff were professional, attentive and knowledgeable. The portions were modest - any smaller and they would have been mean but probably just big enough. My only real criticism is the bar phone which rings frequently, is loud and piercing - quite an irritation after the 5th time it happens. Overall however the meal was a very positive experience; we would certainly recommend and go there again ourselves.

Lovely cosy countryside pub. Menu had a great variety of pub classics and some of the pubs originals, plenty to choose from. I had the goats cheese starter which was Devine and then the mushroom curry which was perfectly flavoured. We really enjoyed our visit!

The atmosphere was nil , we entered the pub was seated in an area where the banging down and moving of tables became so noisy we nearly got up and left (I wish we had). The starter was okay but as it took no prep you couldn’t go wrong. The tables were sticky when you put your arms on them you were glued. The toilets were disgusting men and ladies , men’s were outside and stunk,ladies were inside and had more bacteria than a 24 month piece of meat. The main was basic, we had beef that was thinner than you would put in a sandwich the choice of veg was none , cauliflower and cabbage nothing else . We asked for extra gravy to which the supposed chef ( owner )replied this takes3 days to make its at a premium. The place was uneventful, overpriced, dirty and if it wasn’t for the website ( which made it look lovely) and the lack of proper eating houses it would close.

Just had an excellent Sunday lunch at the Rose and Crown, very nice staff and the quality of food was excellent and really fresh seasonal veg. Lovely building highly recommend a visit you won’t be disappointed

Was visiting the Cotswolds as a solo lady traveller and although staying in Burford, decided to get out-of-town to a little-known backwater, Shilton, on the Carterton Road out of Burford. Had already sampled the Gin & tonic selection at lunchtime and enjoyed sitting in the garden in the sun, so requested a table for 1 that night. Was no problem and felt totally at ease reading my hook & watching the world go by while awaiting my dinner. Braised lamb shoulder which was absolutely delicious with mash & seasonal veggies. Almost licked the plate, it was so well cooked and served.

I booked a table for our wedding anniversary, while staying at Burford Caravan Club Site. We obviously had no idea of the pub's reputation or the outstanding food we would enjoy. It's a small, stone-built pub that I can only assume was once a cottage. The staff were friendly, obliging and extremely hard working as they bustled around between the tables (at one point every table was taken and everybody was ordering food). The food was outstanding; can honestly say we've not experienced food that excellent in quality and flavour for a very long time. The pressed lamb shoulder was so succulent and the roasted carrots so sweet and flavourful. My husband began with a wonderful flat iron steak and was so impressed he moved on to a second course of steak and ale pie, which was equally delicious. Three desserts later we'd booked again for our last evening before returning home!!

Overall very disappointing experience. I feel we weren’t made to feel welcomed. Unfortunately the standard of food was poor and didn’t taste fresh and homemade. For the price it was a very disappointing, didn’t meet our standards and we won’t be returning.

After a long wait to finally reunite with my family this was the chosen pub which sadly disappointed.Food was average, staff’s attitude was disappointing and disinterested. For a small pub/restaurant I feel there is no excuse for a poor service, if your from outside the village your a clearly made to feel your an outsider. For a family of 5 we each ordered a meal which all quotes “comes with a side of vegetables” we had to share 2 small dishes between 5 adults, when we asked the waitress if there was more veg on the way she said “that’s all you get” which was blunt to say the least. I had the pie which was dry and when asked for gravy I was told “there is gravy in your pie” which I feel is not a good enough response and gravy should of been offered.The chips were definitely not home made and you can tell they were cooked from frozen, overall for the price of the meal and the location my standards were high and sadly this restaurant did not meet mine or my families expectations. I will not be returning or recommending this place, I suggest to anyone reading this please drive 5 minutes to Burford you will not be disappointed.

Booked in advance as we were a party of 6, the front of house was great, doing everything they could to overcome a minor problem of no chicken for the chicken ceasar! Each dish was lovely but the star of the main courses was the steak pie, rich and tasty under crispy pastry. We were given time to chat but the service was attentive and very friendly. Desserts were offered and the choice was extensive. All desserts were exceptional but the bread and butter pudding was the best anyone had tasted, plenty of delicious creamy sauce with fluffy bread under crispy top. The summer pudding was tangy and refreshing, sorbets and ice cream so full of flavour. We all had a lovely family reunion and will definitely visit more often.

Average menu and service, pie was dry. No gravy , but trying to understand why not when it’s a restaurant. Still charged full price even though I made the staff aware.

Found this little gem, hidden in a beautiful village. Excellent atmosphere, staff very friendly and welcoming. Food outstanding. Would definitely recommend.

Been coming for many years staying at caravan club siteBooked table. Great food and drinks. Front of house two young ladies treated some customers (locals) with attention but ourselves with indifference. No fluency of service after serving mains not asked if we wanted sweet or coffee. The owner was running around like a blue a..... fly whilst the youngsters said they were busy to him The pub WAS NOT busyWe will be back next year. Hope the staff have changed

A family group of 5 and tiny new baby, we arrived for a Father’s Day lunch. COVID restrictions were appropriate and evident and we sat in the corner with room for the buggy. Starters, main meals, drinks and outs were all served by a friendly team and did not disappoint. Each course was as wonderful as previous visits - roast beef, roast lamb (with requested Yorkshire Pudding) and fish pie with veg served with the now famous Rose and Crown gravy. We weren’t rushed out after our meal and Martin came to the table a couple of times to check that everything was ok. Will be back very soon to this wonderful little pub!

Perfect idyllic setting.Pet friendly and has a clear water stream next to it for the dogs to cool down in. It's a picture perfect little village with a pretty pub.Very friendly service and staff were amazingFood was superb. Best chicken pate I've ever had and the bread and butter pudding was not just the best bread and butter pudding but the best pudding my hubby has ever tasted and he has a sweet tooth. Tracey the lady who served us was lovely and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

We visited the Rose & Crown for a weekday lunch whilst staying nearby. The food was excellent and service very friendly and efficient. Steak & ale pie and fish pie both delicious, as is the rhubarb crumble. Nice pint of local real ale finished it off perfectly. Spacious garden and a lovely Cotswold village location hard to beat. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Cold place, cold food, very little of it. Expensive, won't be back. Still hungry when we left! Lamb shoulder just lamb on plate. Meat was very tasty and tender but not much of it. Yorkshire puds full of air. 6 baby carrots and a fistful of cabbage between us. No mash only 3 roast potatoes. Wouldn't recommend. Disappointing.

Excellent lunch with very attentive service to both us and our dogs. Called prior requesting a vegan which was happily provided and tasted delicious. A refreshing return to normality as the COVID restrictions are lifted. Thank you.

Very welcoming. Cosy fire, good food what more could you want. Steak and mushroom pie was excellent full of beef that melted in your mouth. Highly recommend

Booked in for lunch again on Monday just before Lockdown 2.0. We were greeted with a roaring fire as the rain pelted outside. Again, delighted by the gravadlax and Chicken parfait starters, we both had the steak pies, and then a crumble and brownie for pudding. All perfectly cooked and presented, staff were lovely, all the other tables were having a great time too. No idea what the tiny percentage of negative reviews are on about, the food and service are consistently great, and we have now visited numerous times, on various days and in multiple seasons. This is definitely one of the best pubs in Oxfordshire, and as anyone who knows the area well can attest, there is some pretty stiff competition for that title. Keep up the good work and we’ll see you on the other side.

Almorzamos el fin de semana, un encantador pub rural lleno de carácter en un pequeño pueblo. La comida era excelente, teníamos el lenguado de Dover. Había una niña pequeña con nosotros y tenía pasta con salsa de tomate y le encantó. El servicio fue bueno y las restricciones de Covid se observaron bien.

Este pub restaurante se ha convertido en uno de los favoritos cuando visitamos la zona, ya sea para el almuerzo o la cena. Una vez más, como siempre, la comida estaba magníficamente bien preparada y servida y las alergias de mi esposa GF y DF estaban muy bien atendidas. Gracias a todos y nos vemos pronto.

Al leer críticas sobre The Rose and Crown, mi esposo y yo, junto con dos amigos, estábamos ansiosos por disfrutar el almuerzo del domingo aquí. Lamentablemente, quedamos muy decepcionados. Servido en platos fríos. . . . . mala presentación. . . . . El cordero estaba tierno, el pato se veía bastante repugnante, el rosbif estaba increíblemente poco cocido, la salsa insípida, las patatas asadas sabían como sacadas del congelador, insípidas y poco cocidas, las verduras eran insípidas y escasas. ¡El budín de pan y mantequilla no parecía contener pan! La cerveza no fue agradable. Todos viajamos bastante para estar allí. Como no habíamos visto a nuestros amigos durante mucho tiempo, teníamos mucho que poner al día y todos fuimos demasiado amables para quejarnos. Dije que la carne no estaba muy buena cuando se le preguntó, ¡pero esto no parecía registrado! Éramos muy conscientes de que la segunda sesión iba a tener lugar en breve, por lo tanto, si nos hubiéramos quejado antes, habríamos estado allí más tiempo. En cuanto a ser bienvenido. . . . . . ¡Me temo que tuvimos mala suerte! Este fue un error muy costoso.

Extremadamente decepcionado. Acabo de pagar 2. ¡50 por un plato de lechuga! ! ! (Pidió ensalada) Bistec y patatas fritas ordenados. El bistec era perfecto, sin embargo, no es barato y venía SOLO con patatas fritas, no una rodaja de tomate (o un hongo) para que parezca apetitoso. ! ! ¡Nunca antes había escrito una reseña, pero me sentí muy decepcionado! !

Never dissapointed when we eat here. The lamb is sublime. Melt in your mouth heaven. Great wine, Great service ,Lovely fire. Perfect in every way.

Seis de nosotros fuimos a almorzar aquí el sábado, ya que nos estábamos quedando localmente. Es un pub precioso, muy acogedor, cálido y acogedor.La comida era excelente, en particular el pastel de pescado. Porciones de buen tamaño, ingredientes extremadamente frescos ya un precio muy razonable. Disfrutamos de la cerveza local y no pudimos resistirnos a pedir postre ya que el almuerzo era muy bueno.Gracias por un almuerzo fantástico, ¡lo recomendamos encarecidamente!

We enjoyed a lovely meal with delightful service in a wonderful old country pub. The new part we were in dated from 1704.

Pub de estilo antiguo. buenas precauciones de Covid, establecimiento bastante pequeño. pero tiene un gran jardín y un área de descanso al frente del edificio. no es un menú demasiado grande pero lo que está disponible está bien preparado y es delicioso. , personal amigable. El único inconveniente es que a los inodoros les vendría bien una renovación.

The menu doesn't change often but if you love their choices like we do, it is a mute point. A decent selection of starters, mains and desserts. Whatever you have for starter and main, don't miss the stunning sticky toffee pudding.

Visited a couple of times whilst staying at nearby caravan site. First time couple of drinks in beer garden idylic setting beautiful village. Second visit booked table for lunch made welcome and lunch was lovely would reccommend small inside but lovely old traditional pub

Although this is ‘just’ a pub, the food really is high restaurant quality, beautifully cooked and very good value for money.The venison main course was exceptional. A beautifully rich Jus, clearly made in the traditional method and the venison was tender and succulent.Add this to the fact that staff were friendly, polite and engaging and you end up with a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Thank you to all at The Rose and Crown.

Beautiful country pub with excellent food and great staff. We ate here after getting engaged in the pub beer garden. We ordered champagne to celebrate and it was delicious and chilled to perfection.

We were staying in the area for the weekend and booked a table here, there were 4 adults , 2 children & a dog. We did sit outside in the garden for a drink first and then went inside to eat. Very nice inside , atmosphere was good and the staff very good. We would definitely return when next in the area . Food was all presented well and tasted great .

Stopped by for a late lunch. Hooky gold - very decent fresh pint. Had the mackerel pate, steak and BLT. All delicious served by lovely people in a great beer garden. Would wholeheartedly recommend and hope to be back!

The menu is not extensive and not exactly innovative but clean plates from four very fussy diners told their own story. This is pub food at its very best - and if, like me, you have a fetish for pistachio ice cream, you will enjoy the meal all the more!

Popped in here for a pint and lunch during a walk with the mutt. Great looking with a lovely beer garden and welcoming staff who work the COVID measures well. Decent choice of ale and lovely fresh food for lunch. I could have sat there till dinner !

Staying nearby we wanted a nice venue with good food.Due to regulations things are a bit complicated with booking, seating and we had a small dog as well.The first night were readily accommodated on a booking and had a table allocated at a convenient time for us and our dog.Lovely pub in the traditional style, friendly locals, nice range of wines and good food.Regulations were professionally, yet unobtrusively met and we felt safe.Meals we had had over two visits were the pork stroganoff and a new dish on the menu lamb sharwarma.All meals were beautifully prepared and presented and of reasonable portion size.Great service by friendly staff.A quality pub serving above average food.

This place is fabulous, we went there for Sunday lunch and were absolutely delighted. We opted for three courses, we both had the gravlax (divine, if its on the menu, order it!) followed by one lamb and one beef, both cooked superbly. Very reasonable prices for excellent food. Great attentive staff too. If we lived closer we’d become regulars.

I remember The Rose and Crown from when I was a young boy who lived in the area nearly 80 years ago.At that tender age, I wasn't permitted to be in the pub so, all those years later, it is now nice to be allowed inthe place and also to sample the delights that it offers. It still retains the 'Olde Worlde' atmosphereof those bygone days but it also has the up-market appeal for younger clientele. Finally, but most importantly,the food is simply out of this world. That's why I visit it often, although I now live over 20 miles away.If you've not been there before, you won't be disappointed.

They say never judge a book by its cover and that's true on many occasions! looking at this place that is also true! (how many people have just drove / waked on past) there is no hanging baskets no flowers of any kind in fact, rickety old garden benches that wouldn't look out of place in a skip, no parasols to keep the sun off! broken stone steps and old flower pots, uneven paths to watch out for, weeds plentiful I'm amazed the grass even gets cut! go into the gents toilets which are outside they have to be the worst I've ever been in might as well go in a bucket! no heating that I could see and on my visit I couldn't get any hot water out of the tap which is a bit concerning esp at these times with corona virus about.Inside is as you would expect from an old pub, nice with a big fire place though a little cold in winter as it doesn't seem to give out much heat, adequate bar offerings for most, I'm an ale drinker and it would be nice to see a better selection of ales, the food is very nice have eaten here on a number of occasions and has always been very good slightly small portions for the cost I may add roasts esp! service very good , owner I think is the chef is probably fair to say is not a people's person and is probably best kept of the bar or serving customers but a very good chef. this is a totally honest review not exaggerated in any way, would I eat there again! yes I would because the food very nice would take some antibac wipes with me, would give it 5*s but for the whole experience I've given it 3 which I think is fair

Lovely small traditional pub with great beer and great food, and dog friendly. Can’t complain in anyway

On a recent visit to the rose and crown I felt it had a lovely, cosy, local pub atmosphere. The gentleman running the pub was friendly and welcoming and the food was proper home made food. Would recommend

The Rose and Crown has everything: good; stunning location; top quality experienced (ex Connaught Hotel) management and cooking; local support as well as those who find it well worthy of a journey there and above all the best bread and butter pudding to be had for ready money

Good beer and good tasty food. Bit stingy with the veg (one small dish between 3 adults} however more was bought when asked for. Roast potato's are excellent.

The Rose and Crown es un pub rural de primer nivel con una acogedora chimenea y un personal aún más acogedor. Mi colega y yo nos reunimos para almorzar antes de una reunión, estaba a solo un par de minutos de la carretera principal y teníamos un amplio estacionamiento en un entorno idílico.Ambos tuvimos el filete de hierro plano que era espléndido. A mi colega le gustó tanto que también apareció después de la reunión.

This is a real pub! great beer properly kept. Food in this lovely pub is real food . Too many restaurants and pubs try too hard to paint a picture on the plate and lose the plot completely. Food is first class and well priced. Always a smiling face behind the bar and excellent waiting staff.

Mi esposa y yo visitamos el R&C para una cena el sábado por la noche, y me gustaría grabar mi agradecimiento sin reservas a Martin y al equipo (delantero y trasero), quienes contribuyeron a una gran noche.Nuestra fiesta fue de seis personas, y nada fue demasiado, la atención al detalle es tan buena en el R&C como lo desearía un comensal en cualquier restaurante de 5 *, en cualquier lugar. Nuestra fiesta tenía una amplia selección de un menú bien equilibrado, con suficientes opciones diferentes en la sección de especiales para mantenernos muy contentos.En general, disfrutamos de una hermosa tarde, y definitivamente volveremos. Gracias martin

7 de nosotros visitamos el almuerzo de Navidad. . . . . Gran ambiente y agitación interior y exterior. . . . Cerveza genial y personal muy eficiente y trabajador. Gran abrevadero local

Tuvimos una reunión familiar y The Rose and Crown nos preparó una magnífica cena asada. La comida era excelente y el servicio fue impecable.Para pudín tuve el pudín y helado Sticky Toffee, que era espectacular.Definitivamente recomiendo este hermoso pub campestre en este pintoresco pueblo inglés.

We cycled to the village to go to this pub. Well worth the trip. Welcoming fireside table even though it was a sunny day. Friendly staff and locals. Spice pumpkin soup was fabulous and ciabatta well filled and with quality ingredients always a good sign. Good food, good value and picture postcard pub what more could you ask.

We went for lunch for my husband's birthday and everything was excellent. We both had the steak pie as we'd had it previously and knew how good it was. Additionally the atmosphere was lovely and the fires were lit and it was friendly and relaxed. The customer service was excellent too - we were really well looked after and felt very welcome. We both agreed we should go back again soon.

Been visiting the area over many years and have driven past dozens of times without stopping, BUT -- this year we met up with friends for lunch and what an excellent experience. Great service, good prices, good beer and most of all fantastic food.We won't drive past again.

Lovely pub but... .the food was very average. Presentation was poor.

Lovely small historic building , cosy , very good friendly service, good range of pub food , moderately priced .

Typical British inn which has been sympathetically renovated. Lunch was delicious. Beef cooked to perfection. Friend had ham, egg & chips, lovely carved ham. Service was attentive and friendly. We sat in garden as weather was so nice. Peaceful location in village near Burford.

Booked a table on a Saturday evening and we were greeted warmly by the landlord

loverly little find stunning location owner was great and waiting staff fantastic. loverly food run out of ciabbata due to being a very busy day for them which was undestandable , did one on brown bread again fantastic food we will deffo be back again

We have been a few times over the past few years and this pub never fails to be one of the best and most consistent places to eat in the whole area. Food, service and prices are great. Can’t praise it enough.

Perderse en los Cotswolds es una maravillosa aventura. Terminamos en Shilton Village por casualidad y decidimos relajarnos en Shilton Rose and Crown. Tengo que perderme más a menudo, ya que el Rose & Crown demostró ser un pub brillante. Decidimos hacer de nuestro almuerzo tardío una cena temprana, ya que el menú, así como la selección de cerveza, fue muy tentador. Pastel de carne y ale para mí y ciabatta de carne asada para ella. Excelente cerveza y buen vino acompañaron nuestras comidas y nos acomodamos tan cómodamente que no queríamos irnos. El interior es tan agradable como se puede encontrar en cualquier lugar. El personal es excepcional y hecho para una parada memorable y agradable. Gracias a todos.

Esta es una revisión rápida del pub, en lugar del restaurante, que se visitó mientras visitaba este hermoso pueblo de Cotswold cerca de Burford, para ver los jardines abiertos.

Comimos aquí en el fin de semana, fue un hermoso día así que comimos fuera. La comida era deliciosa. Mi plato de cordero era increíble. Teníamos hijos con nosotros; no tenían un menú para niños, pero cuando pregunté, me ofrecieron algunas opciones que podían hacer. La comida de los niños fue cocinada encantadora también. El servicio fue estupendo. Una comida agradable.

Debo decir que tuvimos una excelente comida el domingo. Comí carne asada, lo cual fue muy agradable. Mi esposa comió el cordero que ella disfrutó. Nuestros amigos no tenían ninguna queja. También tuve el brownie de chocolate que era uno de los mejores que he tenido. Puedo decir que con gusto volveríamos.

¿Qué más puedo decir sobre este lugar después de leer un montón de comentarios sobre la rosa y la corona no nos decepcionó con la comida y el servicio que tenía la carne asada y mi compañero tenía el cordero ambas comidas era excelente y el dulce también nos volveremos excelente

Just popped in for a drink and was met by a flustered landlord. Ordered Old Hooky which was good but the salted peanuts were not. Place felt cold and so did the plain Windsor chair. Got a pleasant smile of farewell though.

We would really recommend The Shilton Rose & Crown. We stumbled across this fascinating pub and enjoyed an amazing lunch accompanied with some special brew beers. Staff and landlord, Martin, was very accommodating and could not do enough to welcome us and make our visit most enjoyable. The menu is excellent and foo very well presented. We have recommended it to our family and friends already and will certain visit again.

Visited for lunch on a very cold windy day. Were greeted by a roaring fire and a warm welcome.

We live nearby the pub and often walk down as my daughter likes to ride her bike. Today we walked down with my mother in law and her husband. We sat outside at first as it’s quite small inside and the weather was fine. After a few drinks we went inside as we have a 7 month old and it was getting chilly, there were no seats in the bar area but the landlord kindly offered us a table in the dining area providing the dog didn’t go on the carpet!!

Dropped in for lunch mid walk. Very warm welcome. Super pint of Hook Norton Seasonal beer at a very sensible price. Attractive pub food menu. We both went for the steak and ale pie, which was just what we needed. A pot style pie, with an intensively flavoured gravy packed with big chunks of tender beef. Nice portion of welcome cooked vegetables and a generous portion of chips. Great service, why aren't all village pubs like this???

After a short walk from a local estate we found this delightful country pub in the middle of a very attractive village. The welcome we received was excellent, immediately we asked for a table we were promptly shown to one and the menus were delivered. Specials were offered and three of us (the adults) chose the Bourguignon, which were delicious! The children enjoyed their meals as well!

The food here is delicious, especially the Sunday roast. The pudding are lovely as well but I would say the cheese board is a little on the small side and a bit disappointing. They do not have any high chairs for Babies available which made thing quite difficult. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful pub in a lovely village with great food.

The Rose and Crown is a great place to meet friends, go for a drink with your dog, have dinner or Sunday lunch or just a quick pint. The perfect Cotswold inn in a charming village, with well kept beers and excellent food.
