The Rose & Crown Inn in Macclesfield

Turned up 4pm on a busy Sunday without a booking for food with two boxer dogs. Staff couldn’t do enough to fit us in. Fabulous beef roast dinner and pork and ham roast dinner. Will be returning over remaining days of our stay in Flash near Buxton. Highly recommended.

Very friendly staff, very welcoming. Food was absolutely stunning. We sat in the back garden and oh my the view are absolutely spectacular. There is plenty of parking to the side of the pub you just need to go up a little hill to the right it wasn't very well marked, we almost didn't stop. Glad we found it.

My partner and I were staying in the area and found the Rose & Crown when looking for somewhere for a late lunch/early dinner. The staff were super friendly when we arrived, and although they were extremely busy and fully booked, they managed to squeeze us in! The food was absolutely amazing - probably the best meal out we've had in years; my partner had the Lamb Henry, which I tasted and was divine, perfectly cooked & seasoned melt-in-the mouth lamb which was falling off the bone and beautifully tender. I had one of the specials; a beef and venison pie, the crust was mouth-wateringly crisp and again the meat was cooked perfectly; moist and tender, with just the right amount of bite but without being chewy at all. It was served with some deliciously crispy chips, some creamy leeks topped with melted cheese, and some vegetables, all of which were also cooked to perfection. We finished up with a bread and butter pudding for my partner, and a lemon meringue parfait for me. The bread and butter pudding was again cooked perfectly, full of flavour, and really moist, without being soggy. The lemon meringue parfait was deliciously tart and refreshing, with loads of lemon flavour and just the right mix of sweet/sour/creamy. We would thoroughly recommend visiting if you're in the area; perfect food and service and all at a reasonable price, just make sure you book ahead!!

We stumbled upon Restaurant The rose & Crown by chance, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we were in the right place. The local food was absolutely *out of this world* – fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Luda, the owner, is simply wonderful – warm, funny, and incredibly welcoming. She hosted us so generously, and we truly enjoyed chatting with her throughout the evening. It was a British-style experience with a local soul. Highly recommended – we’ll definitely be back!

Great Pub in a nice location. High quality freshly cooked food with plenty of parking and friendly staff. We were served by the Landlady who was very welcoming. She described the food items to us and gave recommendations - very friendly throughout our visit. I had the Vegan Wellington which did not disappoint - others had Steak & Ale pie and were of the same opinion. Dog friendly and very cosy with open fires in each room. Would definitely recommend.
