About This Pub

Oh, let me tell you about the Rose and Crown in Sandridge – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot every time. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is where they really shine; whether it's a massive Sunday roast that's packed with flavour and great value, or those inventive small plates that get everyone excited, you're in for a treat. The service feels genuinely warm, like chatting with old friends, and it's ace that they welcome dogs, making it ideal for a post-walk pint. On the flip side, there was a mention of a slightly tough bread crust in one review, which might niggle if you're picky about the finer details, and it does stick mostly to pub favourites, so if you're after something super adventurous, you might want to look elsewhere. All in all, with a solid 4.3 rating, it's a reliable spot for good times and tasty grub, and I'd say it's well worth popping in for a bite – you won't be disappointed!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think delicious roasts, creative small plates like tuna ceviche, and hearty mains that leave you feeling satisfied and impressed.
  • Portions are generous and offer brilliant value for money, making it a top choice for a casual lunch or a proper Sunday dinner.
  • Service is warm and attentive, with staff who make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's wonderfully dog-friendly, which is a real treat if you're out for a walk and fancy a pit stop.
  • The atmosphere is cosy and inviting, with a cute interior that adds to the overall charm of the place.
Cons
  • There might be the odd hiccup with food prep, like a tough crust on the bread, but it's not a deal-breaker.
  • Based on the reviews, it seems like options could feel a bit limited if you're after something beyond the pub classics, though that's not a major complaint.

Just the best menu for a casual Saturday lunch. Loads of choice and every dish served with attention to detail and great flavours! From the imaginative ‘Small plates’ options like tuna ceviche or sweet & sour sticky chicken through to lovely main dishes of all kinds. All washed down with a glass or two of fizz - perfect Saturday vibes! Friendly and accommodating staff, and pets warmly welcomed. Everyone should try it…

It was such a wonderful surprise to find this friendly pub after a long walk. The menu was outstanding, to the point where we HAD to share all the starters. The ceviche with passion fruit won my heart. Congrats to the chef

Had a lovely late lunch, open crab sandwich and fries. Very nice but the crust on the bread was tough to cut. Will definitely be back!

Really lovely looking pub and a big bonus for Dog friendliness which is always a plus in my books! Cute interior too! I chose the beef onglet which was served MR, beautiful sauce. Couldn’t resist a burrata with jalapeño and bbq corn which really complimented the spring feel in the air. Really lovely! Can’t fault and will Be back
