The Rose & Crown in Wiltshire

Held my 70th Birthday party here on Saturday 16 March for 60 people it was a great atmosphere the buffet was lovely and plenty to eat. The boys behind the bar were excellent and Mick was most helpful in getting everything organised and I had good feedback from my guests, would thoroughly recommend the venue.

A warm cozy village pub. with a nice local feel and a well maintained real fire🔥 A pint of lime n soda 2.00 GBP Dog friendly, but pub rules are dogs are only allowed water outside. 💧 So she had a melting ice cube instead That means it only get a 3 pawsup 🐾🐾🐾 review.. A lovely clean ladies toilet but could do with a good spring clean, a lot of cobwebs noted and not the ones left over Halloween. In fact, the Christmas decoration chucked over the old cobweb showed lack of pub attention to detai, I do hope it's duely noted and dusted away before any Christmas 🎄 dinners are served Reasonable price cheesy chips or handcut or French Fries 🍟 marinated olives, sourdough warm bread 🍞 all 3.50 each GBP

Fantastic Christmas meal. Lovely and friendly staff. Thank you for a fabulous night

A great find , wonderful fire and interior with great food. Worth a trip.

We arrived late on a Sunday afternoon, just 30 minutes before the chef went home. Despite that our meals were tasty, hot, and good quality, served with a smile and friendly service. Thanks Rose and Crown!

Good even though we lost our skittles match

Great little country pub. Good local beer brewed by Arkell's

Great pub & great food in a picturesque village … highly recommended 🌟

Really friendly, happy staff nice food and drink

Did I catch this pub on a bad day, it certainly wasn't busy? The food was very poor and normally I would complain about the very small amount. The chips were a soggy mess covered in a greasy piece of fish. I will not be visiting again

Really great pub for kids with playground outside and large secure garden with lots of seating. Also a bit that is outside but covered . Food was really nice too and great servicez would recommend.

Beautiful and cozy pub, nice playground for kids, tasty food, clean toilets

Nice little pub in the middle of a quaint little town. Lots of parking available, service is good, food is reasonably priced and decent quality. Pub Interiors is nice and clean. Very much recommend visiting this pub!

This is a lovely welcoming old english country pub. The staff are the heart of this pub, attentive, polite and efficient. The food is very well priced, and the quality is very high. The food is the best we have had out in a long time.This is how all pubs should be, great food , a great selection of beers, ales and cider as well, if carlesberg made pubs....

Best pub in Wiltshire! We have been working as traders at Womad for years and so have tried a fair few pubs in the area as we always go for a pub meal before/after the festival and we can honestly say this by far the best we have tried in the area. Great atmosphere, prices and staff what more could you want. It was pouring with rain but the beer garden also looked lovely. We were served/cooked for by two lovely young boys who we could not ask anything more from. Special shout out to Brynn who cooked for our table of 8 by himself 2 weeks post A-levels! We wish you boys all the best for the future and thank you for an enjoyable evening! We will see you again soon

Circular walk from malmesbury and a good stop off for a drink in the garden.

Fantastic lunch with friends! The food was lovely, really nice pub and the staff and service was great! They were brilliant with our friends children. The only things I'd change - more veggie options and the chocolate truffle torte is delicious but rich so would be better served with a berry sorbet.

Super pub in the country. Big pub garden, food was lovely.

Great pub, I grew up in Lea so decided to pop back for a drink with my family.

Arrived with some Friends to have a Drink early Evening and noticed a sign outside saying they were doing Food, but asking about ordering at the Barman who was disinterested saying they were busy dispite plenty of Empty Tables. We sat outside and witness another couple unhappy about their order. Certainly this venue needs better Management and team for Customer service!.

Friendly pub in a beautiful Cotswold setting. The garden is great for letting the kids run and the food was pretty good value. A little let down by the availability of desserts.

Nice pub and looked like a good garden although it was a cool evening so we stayed inside. Enjoyed a great couple of pints of Ale.

A peaceful location for a classic country pub, great garden. Also they were serving Sunday lunch up to 5pm which we particularly appreciated as we had lost track of time. Friendly staff and good parking .

Great for young family's but limited vegan choice

It was mother's day and they were extremely busy so it felt a bit rushed, but they apologized about that. The service is excellent and although I only had beer battered cod and chips, the food was worth the drive out there. I look forward to going again soon

Went there last night for a spontaneous first date. The locals were really welcoming and friendly considering its a little local pub in a village. Will return more often

Nice country Pub. Children and dog friendly.

Nice location country pub, friendly staff and good food.

As a local of the Lea area, I visit The Rose & Crown quite regularly and although the food is incredible in taste, as of recently I have found that the menu options are falling inadequate to my maturing senses. After visiting many times, I return to the same few menu options week in week out. On top of this, there are incredibly few vegetarian and vegan options for my lovely wife Linda, who is a vegetarian. I feel as though the pub is lacking in a managerial figure who wants to keep the place alive and really wants to see it prosper. Despite this, the staff on the ground were really kind, polite and helpful. They catered to all of my needs and made sure that me, my wife and my good friend, visiting from Durham had a great experience. I feel as though this pub has vast potential, however my neighbouring locals and I both feel that the owner no longer cares about the image that his pub spreads throughout the local village.

The chips are out of this world.. Yeah really good food and service. They do warn you about a waiting time.. Which is understandable as they are quite busy

I'm not from the local area but recently came down to visited a old university mate who lives local to the pub, he told me it was a great place for a bite to eat and a good hangout for the locals. Having high expectation we went ready for a great time. which I and to an extent. the locals were amazing, lovely people with some of the most incredible stories and the service I received was some of the best ever. But, I am vegetarian and the lack of options wasn't what I expected for such a beloved pub. I asked my server about it and was told that there hasn't be much of the change to the menu in a while and was told it was to remove a few items which'd surprised me due to the world we live in where vegetarians, vegans, and pescatarians are in a stage of more friendly food for them but only having 3 mains was not what I was expecting. Hope the owner or who ever will see this and hopefully make some changes for this and for the pub in general as talking with staff and locals its beloved by all and they want it to succeed as they all see potential in it.

Lovely little pub, good variety of drinks, nice food and locals are lovely too. Great service and friendly

Good beer, good food, good atmosphere and great staff

Really enjoyed the food ,and the service was excellent , am going back next weekend, well worth the money

Nice little pub in the countryside

Great little country pub with excellent food and nice garden. Worth a visit.. if ypu are stopping for food, I recommend giving the Don Burger a try...its legendary

Excellent pub. This was the third party we've organised in the function room here. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful and this was no exception. The food was good, and prices were reasonable. Nice garden too - we've just had coffee in the sun out there. Arkell's ales. Recommended!

Lovely venue for a party. The staff are so helpful, nothing is to much trouble. The food is good and they cater for gluten-free and dairy free. I would definitely recommend the Rose and Crown.

Nice quiet place for a pint. Decent beer. Lovely warm fire on when we visited

Friendly and accommodating. Visited with elderly family for food and felt very well looked after. Hope to return again soon.

Lovely pub, great beer selection and bar staff very friendly to us being the first time we've visited.

Nice pub, but unfortunately the kitchen seems to be more closed than open - usually on a Sunday.

Friendly pub with excellent garden space and car park opposite. Dogs allowed. Kitchen sadly closed during my visit but already planning our next visit.

A proper pub. Good atmosphere and beer. Robert

I have been to this pub a few times before and to be quite honest it was fine, pleasant atmosphere, food was mediocre and yes I would have normally gone back there but for the service and attitude I had to day from a bar man with a beard. He was rude and had attitude towards my friend who was enquiring after food who was told there was no food being served until after a certain time due to a wake being held. Under normal circumstances I could understand this but there was only fifteen to twenty people in the funeral party with no other customers in the pub. We were there at half an hour before the wake was to begin so how long does it take to cook three burgers. Naturally I shall be voting with my feet and not visiting this pub again which is a shame.

Pleasant lunch in a lovely setting with very helpful staff

Nice man behind the bar Nice place but the service and food wasn't very good Nice out side and car park and dog friendly

Very good, good food friendly staff and nice clean loos!

Really nice atmospheric pub, friendly bar, choice of beers - some ive not seen before and food good. Well worth a visit.

Stopped off here on the way to Cardiff. Really friendly and accommodating staff ,coupled with a lovely lunch - what more could you ask for ? Thank you to all at the Rose and Crown!!

This a lovely, relaxed, child friendly, dog friendly pub that just happens to sell good food and great beer 🍺.

When you go to a pub for a sunday roast, you expect a good, filling meal. What I got did not live up to this expectation. I got three lukewarm potatoes, a sub-par size Yorkshire pudding and the most disappointing and surprising part was the meat. Instead of a good piece of pork, I got a few slices of paper thin flesh. It was like the sort of meat you’d buy from Tesco and put in a sandwich for lunch. It was as if the meat had been spray painted onto the plate, that was how thin it felt. Now maybe I was unlucky. Maybe other meals aren’t like this here, your mileage may vary, I wouldn’t know. But from my experience here, I can say for sure I wouldn’t come back here again. Unless they sort the meat out, of course.

Really lovely country pub. Peaceful garden and great staff

Nice food and large garden, would recommend

Stop here on the way back home with are dog. For a drink in the pub garden the grass and area was well maintained would of like a meal but to early in the afternoon. The staff were very friendly the menu looked good if in the area again would have a meal.

Very good pub. Lovely Sunday roast.

Can't fault the service, very friendly and welcoming. Great, freshly cooked food. Will certainly return.

A nice quiet lunch Great service Friendly staff Great food ,Value for Money . Worth a visit

Visited this pub on a very wet day with an even wetter muddy dog whilst out walking. The welcome could not have been warmer, even though all we wanted was a hot cup of coffee. Wished we had longer to stay and sample the food as it looked delicious. Hope to return on a sunny day and sit in the garden. Diana and David

Decent local pub, serving traditional pub food. Nice big beer garden, with a playground for the kids.

The service, food, vibe/atmosphere...perfect. Very dog friendly. Good parking. Lovely outdoor setup. Recommend and will be visiting again soon 👍

Friendly staff and good service to our table in the garden. Food is fairly basic pub grub, burgers, fish & chips, scampi, but nice.

we recently stayed in lea for a week, we called into this pub on several occasions. the staff were very friendly ,the food and drinks were of high quality. we will certainly call again when we visit this part of the country. top marks to everybody concerned.

Out enjoying the sunshine, we called in to the Rose and Crown, Lea near Malmesbury for a light lunch. It was our first pub outing for fifteen months..The landlord made us most welcome observing all the safe distancing procedures for our safety. We ordered two light lunches which represented very good value.So two tasty meals, good beer coupled with the landlord's friendly courtesy made for a very pleasant lunch trip out.

We were hiking past and popped in for a quick drink but decided to stay for lunch as we were so impressed. The staff were very friendly, the pub was beautiful with a huge beer garden and the food was fantastic. This is a real hidden gem. We would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Great service, chilled atmosphere, large garden, slide etc, little expensive, but worth the chilled vibe

Very low on staff, food and drink! Staff tried, but very under staffed

The Rose and Crown in Lea is how all smaller pubs should be, amazing quality food and excellent service in a warm friendly environment. The ingredients are fresh and the menu is modern, as I live local I'd definitely be dining here again.

Well done for Kelsie and Ollie opening up after the lockdown. They have a great Tier 2 menu so everybody can turn up, have a beer with a well priced "substantial meal". Service and hospitality second to none 👍

Very good service and food. Easy parking over the road.

Nice classic local pub with an excellent menu.

Went at 3pm for a roast. Service was questionable and very slow. Due to the table service, it took 25 minutes to get offered a drink from when we entered the pub. (Which feels like a lifetime when you’re gagging for a beer). Then finally found out that they had run out of lamb and crackling for the pork.. not ideal after 3 hours of opening. I ended up wiping our own table down as we didn’t fancy sitting at a sticky table with crumbs on it from the previous Sunday feast-ers. Average roast, small portions and boiled veg. Gravy and potatoes were ok. The young lad serving us was polite and pleasant. Older chap.. not so much. Fairly hostile until we paid at the end, classic.

Friendly staff & good Sunday lunch today.

Made very welcome and enjoyed some good pub grub

Just had another Stunning Lunch at the R&C ..Best Burger in the shire 10/10 .. And their Diet Pork Scratchings are to die for 🤤🥰🥰🥰🤗

Welcoming pub, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and most amazing burgers ever. A must try if your in the area.

Good food and efficient/friendly staff. Large beer garden. Easy to keep 2m away from people.

Lovely Sunday roast and desserts. Good adherence to social distancing measures. Staff were helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the service was slow, which let it down.

Really good pub with a lovely garden. Highly recommend

Excellent food. Well organised for social distancing. Good value

Lovely pub, warm and cosy inside with a to-die-for beer garden and great play equipment for the nippers. Staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful, and reassuring in this time with all prudent sanitising measures in place. Food is always superb, long standing Chef Ollie knows what he's about, had the Lemon & Thyme Chicken yesterday and it was superb. Would (read: definitely will) be back, and highly recommended!

Una joya de pub. Comida casera de gran calidad. Soy quisquilloso con mis hamburguesas y puedo recomendar la hamburguesa de la casa aquí. Pura ternera y perfectamente cocida (jugosa). Servidos con una ensalada bien aderezada con patatas fritas crujientes, como deberían ser. También los mejores aros de cebolla que he comido; normalmente no me gustan, pero estaban bien aquí (masa crujiente y no demasiado grasosa).Excelente servicio al cliente de Mick, quien fue muy acogedor y servicial.

Pub encantador, cálido y acogedor por dentro con un jardín de cerveza para morirse y un gran equipo de juego para los nippers.El personal no podría ser más amable, servicial y tranquilizador en este momento con todas las medidas de desinfección prudentes en su lugar.La comida siempre es excelente, el veterano chef Ollie sabe de qué se trata, ayer comió el pollo al limón y al tomillo y fue excelente.¿Volvería (léase: definitivamente), y muy recomendable!

Staff are lovely, food all homemade, lovely outdoor area

Yet another excellent lunch here. We love to walk here from Malmesbury and sit in the nice big beer garden when the weather is good. This was the first time we have sat inside for a while and it was really nice - good distancing and sensible Covid-19 measures. The food here is consistently great - scampi and chips, goats cheese salad, fish and chips were all very tasty. Plus they went the extra mile to deliver sausages to a 6 year old who doesn't like his sausages brown!! Thank you to all at the R&C - look forward to seeing you again soon!

Massive beer garden with a selection of chairs and tables to sit at. Good little play area for the kids as well right next to the graveyard in case of accidents. The cider is cold, refreshing and staff are polite. Toilets are nice and clean.

Good food, large garden and very good landlord

It was very welcoming and as it was a lovely day we called in for a drink after a beautiful walk. Recommended.

Lovely country pub, great food, lovely bunch. Garden is huge and very welcoming

Llevamos a mi padre (87) aquí a almorzar el martes. Era la primera vez que salía de casa desde el encierro y la primera vez que salíamos a comer. Todo estuvo súper organizado y se sintió extremadamente bien pensado y seguro. Un buen sistema unidireccional en su lugar, seguimiento y rastreo de detalles tomados y mucho gel de manos disponible. El hermoso jardín era el lugar perfecto para un almuerzo socialmente distanciado y eso también era perfecto, ¡delicioso pescado y papas fritas! Masa crujiente, patatas fritas y guisantes perfectos. Quedamos muy impresionados. El personal era relajado y amable en lo que deben ser tiempos muy difíciles para ellos. Definitivamente regresaremos. . y decírselo a nuestros amigos. Gracias.

I would highly recommend The Rose & Crown. We went for my brother’s 50th Birthday. My Parents has fish & Chips and the rest of us had the Sunday Lunch. All of us had a lovely meal and will be definitely going back.

Superb.....lovely country pub with food to match. Absolutely beautiful Sunday roast . Will definitely be visiting again

Lovely, cosy pub. Very welcoming staff and super dog friendly. We didn’t eat there but the menu and food looked fabulous. Also, an amazing gin list! It made our mini break in Malmesbury all the better.

Olly and his staff do a wonderful burger - well worth the trip off the main road to taste. He also does a Dom Burger, for the extra hungry, which has bacon and several other things on it and is HUGE!

One of our favourite pubs and it’s very dog friendly! There is an excellent selection of drinks and the food is fantastic. There are plenty of great vegetarian options too. It’s the perfect location to going on a county walk to or from. They host a fantastic pub quiz and the staff are all very friendly.

Hosts very polite and helpful.food fantasti

Lovely setting, great garden, good beers and cosy pub

Best pub in the country, no cap my g. All round its amazing, fantastic for its music choice, beautiful for its provision of a pool table, and absolutely spectacular for its beer choice.

Fantastic little pub. Great atmosphere great food and friendly staff. Brilliant roast dinner for a good price.

Nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos en un día muy lento de noviembre. La comida de una pizarra variada llegó rápidamente y bajó bien. Es muy importante que los pubs como este sobrevivan, ya que son el corazón de un pueblo y no estarán allí para los comensales que pasan ocasionalmente si no se aprovechan.
