Rose and Crown - Clay Hill in Cheshunt

Have been for a Sunday roast a few times and as I think they do the tastiest one I’ve had! Starters and desserts are also great. Staff are always lovely and give good service. You do have to book in advance as it fills up quickly

Disappointing Father’s Day Experience – Poor Customer Service We visited the Rose and Crown for Father’s Day lunch after calling the day before to check availability. I was told they were fully booked but that if we arrived around 12pm, we could likely get a walk-in table in the garden. Based on this, we travelled from central London to Enfield for a Father’s Day lunch. After nearly an hour’s journey with our 2-year-old, we arrived, got a garden table, and were then told we couldn’t order from the main menu because we hadn’t booked—only starters were available. Not exactly ideal for a Father’s Day meal. When I raised this with the manager (a dark-haired woman), she was incredibly abrupt and dismissive, implying I was lying and insisting her staff would never have said that. I had to show my phone call history to prove I’d spoken to someone the day before. No apology was offered, nor any sympathy for the fact we had travelled a long way based on her team’s advice. In contrast, the younger staff who answered the phone and served drinks were polite and courteous. Unfortunately, the manager's attitude completely overshadowed this—rude, unprofessional, and completely unwilling to acknowledge the mistake or inconvenience caused. If there truly was no way to accommodate us, the proper approach would have been a sincere apology and some understanding—not treating a customer as if they’re being dishonest. In short: If you're considering visiting this pub without a reservation—even after calling ahead—don’t bother. You may end up with a wasted journey and an unwelcoming reception.

First time here for a roast and will definitely visit again! The roast beef was delicious and expertly cooked and the potatoes were light and crispy. The kids roast was the perfect size too! The desserts were not as good - the Eton mess was mostly cream and a bit scant on the fruit. The bread a butter pudding was okay but not earth shattering. The roasts were outstanding though!

Wandered in after a nice walk at Forty Hall. Gorgeous pub with excellent food & service. Sunday roast is incredible. Especially the ox cheek!!

Great lunch stop on the way back to the airport. We were looking for a country pub for lunch and this one didn’t disappoint as a wonderful historical place to stop. Food was great. Plentiful, delicious and filling. Service was a little slow but friendly, it’s a big place and I think they need more servers! Wife loved the halloumi and corn ‘ribs’… my fish and chips were just right, great fish and normal British chips.
