About This Pub
Ah, The Rose and Crown – what a gem of a spot for a proper pub experience! I have to say, it's one of those places that just makes you feel good as soon as you step inside, with its cosy nooks and that expansive garden where you can soak up the fresh air. The food really steals the show; their Sunday roasts are legendary, full of flavour and just the right amount of hearty goodness to leave you satisfied without feeling stuffed. The team behind the bar are always up for a chat, making sure everything runs smoothly, whether you're popping in for a quick lunch or bringing the family along for a full meal. It's spot on for families too, with plenty to keep the kids busy, and they've got live music lined up for events like bank holidays, which adds a fun twist. On the flip side, it does get busy at peak times, so booking a table is a must to avoid waiting around, and if you're aiming for a late Sunday session, note that the kitchen closes up earlier than you'd might like. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone after a bit of countryside charm and good grub – I'd definitely recommend giving it a go for a relaxed catch-up with mates.

Met up with dear friends for lunch at this charming little pub, and it turned out to be a real gem. The outdoor seating area was lovely and relaxed, with a great climbing play space that kept the kids happily busy while the adults caught up.
The staff were warm and attentive, and the food was well above typical pub fare, you could tell the chefs genuinely cared about what they were creating. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared.
The menu was varied, including a delicious vegan sweet potato tart with a crisp side salad and, honestly, the best pub chips I’ve ever had. Two at our table had the fish special and were full of praise.
From the friendly service to the evident love in the kitchen and the overall charm of the place, it was a really lovely experience, one we’ll definitely be repeating.
We had a fantastic lunch at The Rose and Crown. There was a large group of us, but the staff were fantastic and accommodating, answering all questions prior to our booking. The food was so tasty, all of my family were delighted with their meal, in particular the chicken burger, and the outside play area ( where there is swings, slide and climbing apparatus) for children went down a treat with restless kids. The pizza's from the outside pizza oven were so tasty. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!
No joke one of the best Sunday roast I have had in a long time. The beef was full of flavor and potatoes delicious. I had the rack of ribs and again delicious. Would recommend, especially with a good outdoor area for dogs
My wife said this was the nicest Sunday lunch she'd had eaten out in a long time. I agree. We both had roast beef topside (mine without potatoes!), cauliflower cheese, and a glass of red wine each. Cost £59.72.
Really lovely place with so much character. An amazing Sunday roast dinner was had. The meat was succulent, tender and full of flavour. The veg was cooked to perfection. Super tasty Yorkshire puds and gravy. We shared a super serving of cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets. Sat next to a roaring fire. Bliss. Highly recommend this place 100%.
