The Rose & Crown Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was amazing - we ate from the brunch menu - and the service incredible too."
• "Delicious brunch menu would recommend the hash browns! We stayed a little longer than anticipated and got some picky bits from the starter menu too, fab wings."
• "Great food at this gastropub. Especially impressed with the starters. Scotch eggs and fish tacos are amazing."
• "The food was (as always with the Rose and Crown) exceptional, we chose the wines we wanted from the standard list."
• "The menu offered a tempting array of dishes, and we couldn't resist trying the Hash Browns & Sticky Pork made from Tater tots, sticky BBQ pork, poached egg & hollandaise."
• "We went here today and the food was amazing. We had seen it all over tiktok and Instagram."
• "Exceptional. We often have Sunday Roast around the country at friends and family. Fabulous belly pork for me."
• "All 4 of us loved our food from scotch egg to pork chop. All with delightful sauce twists."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately the fish tacos were soggy & fell to pieces upon lifting but still nice."
• "The greens were a bit tough but apart from that - super food!!"
• "Had the beef roast, very tough and chewy, especially for a £26 roast. Veg and sides were good."
• "We waited almost 45 minutes for our food which then arrived cold. Portions were too small."
• "We had breakfast here and it took almost 2hrs to arrive. It arrived cold and all they did was take service charge off."
• "Service was polite but disorganised and slow (we waited 10-15 mins for two juices when restaurant wasn’t full)."
• "Don’t waste your time or money. Had high expectations after seeing on social media."
• "The service was so poor we didn’t get our drinks until 20 mins after ordering- but we could see them sat on the bar waiting to be served to our table."

Service & Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Within 2 minutes of sitting down we were greeted and given menus. All the staff were welcoming and friendly."
• "The wait staff were quick to put the umbrellas up. A great crowd and dog friendly."
• "We had our wedding reception upstairs at the Rose and Crown and it was fantastic."
• "What made our visit truly special was the impeccable service provided by Michelle."
• "Had a brilliant mid-week dinner in the restaurant. Ellen was a fantastic hostess and the food was brilliant."
• "Service excellent and really nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!"
• "The staff looked after us so well and the food was amazing to say the least!"
• "The service was super smooth and the pork Sunday roast was 10/10!"

Cons:

• "Service was a bit pedestrian but probably understandably so. It was pretty busy outside, and there was a wedding reception too."
• "However, the service was quite slow and not the best. One of the women that served us didn’t have a great attitude."
• "Visited the Rose & Crown for brunch and had a very mixed experience. Had to actively ask for another drink later too and when we asked for the bill that took an eternity."
• "Only knocking down a star as the service wasn't great - there only seemed to be one woman taking orders, doing front of house and bringing out food."
• "We waited for 15 mins at 5:45pm while it was still happy hour, then refused to give us happy hour prices when the clock hit 6pm."
• "The manager was not very friendly though. Maybe it’s just her sense of humour, but it was a little odd since our waiter didn’t seem to mind at all."
• "The customer service here is rather shocking, specifically from the management. There's one lady in particular whom is rude to customers and very condescending."
• "It's a shame that such a beautiful quaint pub has unbelievably rude staff."
