Read an article about the best roasts in Herts and this place was listed - it didn’t disappoint! Took my boyfriend for his birthday, then we brought the rest of family for my lunch. Amazing food and great service. It’s also excellent value for money.
Great pub and restaurant. I was there last night for my partner's 70th Birthday. Although it was a Saturday night there was only the 6 of us and another table of 2. Such a shame as the menu is good and the food is cooked to order. Would definately recommend
Dinner, Saturday.
We loved our date night meal at Rose & Crown. Full of stunning flavour and presented in elegant and charming ways - each dish has its own charm and leaves you wanting more! Lovely cocktails and great service too! We’ll be back ☺️
If you’re looking for a traditional village pub, then this place has moved on a lot! It apparently reopened in August 2021 following a major refurbishment, and now has the service and feel of a restaurant.
Came here for Sunday lunch on the King’s Coronation weekend and the food was faultless. At £48 for 3 courses (plus 12.5% service charge) this is more expensive than most gastropubs, but the food quality is also much better. Service was friendly & attentive, and the modern dining room had a light & airy feel.
Would most definitely recommend eating here, but would go elsewhere for a casual pint!
Fantastic restaurant. Proper fine dining. Everything was perfect. Head chef is clearly very talented.
Wow - delightful! Lovely refined cooking packed with flavour. The base produce also feels excellent (we ate fish and everything was great). I assume the same produce is used for the bar menu - which makes that a very interesting proposition also.
There is not a thing we would change about our experience tonight. My partner and I have not stopped talking about how incredible the food was. We came to this unassuming pub on a whim and will be returning as soon as we can. Absolutely perfect!
Delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere in a beautiful village.
Slightly on the expensive side but a lot of the food is homemade and fresh so it's definitely worth a visit!
amazing roast dinner, staff were friendly and attentive!
Visited here on a whim for the first time in a good few years.
Most impressed - the food exceeded my expectations. Many pubs and restaurants in the area like to think they serve ‘gastro pub’ quality food, when they serve average pub grub at best.
This places delivers on the food quality without question and for the same price that you get mediocre chain pub food elsewhere.
Staff are great too, clearly put their heart and soul into it.
We stopped to have lunch and we were made to feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door.
Our pet pooch was offered a bowl of water which was very much appreciated due to the warm weather.
We would definitely recommend and also revisit in the near future.
Amazing! Food is exceptional and the warm friendly owner Debbie, Alex the chef has really made this place! Reasonable prices and loverly atmosphere, recommend!!
