Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What a fabulous find! Booking a table for Sunday lunch for 7 people and a dog can be extremely difficult but they made it so easy, combining tables for us in the snug. Service was fabulous, food excellent and we’ll definitely be back!

We live in the village and this is the second time we have eaten here in a couple of months. The first time my husband had fish pie which was so dry he could not eat it. We were not charged for his meal. Today...we went for dinner after a day out for my husbands birthday. He chose the ribeye steak which was awful. Very grisly. They need to find a better butcher. We will not be returning which is a shame as it is so convenient as we only live 5 minutes walk away.More

Have just enjoyed a wonderful lunch with friends in The Rose and Crown, a pleasant, traditional pub restaurant. The lunchtime menu had a good choice of meals including jacket potatoes and baguettes. The portion sizes were huge and all of our meals were well cooked...and reasonably priced. The list of desserts was equally varied. We were unhurried and service was attentive.More

We went to the Rose and Crown following my dads funeral with the family. We would like to thank Paul and his staff as they were very respectful and helpful. They catered very well for us. Food was plentiful and very tasty. Many thanks x

After remembering a lovely meal we had years ago we decided to treat ourselves to lunch here. I chose mushroom stroganoff which was about 12 mushroom quarters floating around in some tasteless thick gravy with enough rice for a family of 4. Even my lager...was not very cold. Possibly a warm glass. My husband asked for white bait as a main course which they did do. The whitebait was overcooked and dry with far too much bread. No tartare sauce or anything. The girls were pleasant but food awful. Will not return.More

I am not one for writing reviews but I thought on this occasion I needed to. Taking your Mum out for dinner is sometimes quite stressful especially when the food is not up to standard. However on this occasion it was the complete reverse the...food was outstanding and beer was terrific, anyone visiting this pub will not be disappointed. The atmosphere was very friendly and the landlord ensured that you had everything you needed, nothing want too much trouble. I will confess that I am quite fussy when it comes to food & drink but I could not fault a thing. Thank you for a terrific meal, we will be back. Mike AMore

Exceptional service and great food. Afternoon of attention to detail and good humoured , respectful service. The food was very good indeed. Paul and staff cooked up a spread that exceeded our expectations. Definitely returning soon and highly recommend. Nice pub, parking, outdoor deck area...too. Glad our original venue didn’t work out. This was reasonably priced too. Make sure you visit!More

Had visited on several occasions with family and friends and usually always gone for the liver and bacon on a bed of mashed potatoes and gravey like today, but what a difference this time !! Firstly it was served up in a DESSERT/SOUP BOWL! hardly...any liver, a spoon full of gravey and about half the usually amount of mashed potatoes, very very disappointing and we had taken 4 friends with us as we had spoken very highly about this place to them, they even commented on how long we all had to wait for our food aswell! They just wanted to sell us more drinks we all thought, don't know what's happened to the place but we will NOT BE GOING BACK, shame really but that's what happens when you fall short.More

We’ve just had a great lunch here at The Rose & Crown in Shorne. What a Great Pub, Food was delicious I had the Chilli and my two friends Roast Chicken(Special) and a Jacket Potato topped with Mushroom Stroganoff. Really enjoyed today, the staff there...were so friendly and very nice and professional. We had the best Spotted Dick and custard and Lemon sponge pudding, coffees and a tea. There are usually 5 of us at lunch, two missed out so we’ll be back soon, all five of us. Recommended.More

We visited this pub after a walk in the nearby country park. We were welcomed by the cheerful staff who looked after us very well. The good old fashioned Sunday roast was very good and our dog was given a water bowl and welcomed too....Pudding was not very tasty, (spotted dick and ice cream) however I will definitely visit here again and try one of the others.More
