This review is written for a group of us visiting mid-week lunchtime. We had never been here before, and the entire group was incredibly impressed with the food and service!Alice was very accommodating, and both she and the young gentleman serving were exemplary with their friendliness and customer service.I have been taking this group (sarahclub.uk) to venues across East Sussex and parts of Kent for years, and we all agreed that the Rose and Crown ranks with the very best places we've eaten at.We all had a pre-booked beef roast (a special offered only for weekday group sittings, not normally available during regular weekday lunch). None of us encountered any gristle, chewy bits, or stringy bits in the beef - it was soft, tender, flavourful, and generously served. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, neither hard nor overly soft. The cauliflower cheese was amazing, and there were lovely home-cooked yorkshire puddings with ample hot gravy.We had a choice of four desserts, and the group managed to try all four. Each dessert was fantastic!The pub has a lot of character, very interesting decor, and is dog-friendly. We were even seated next to a lovely wood fire!What a lovely afternoon lunch we all had - thank you to Alice and your staff.

Best pub in Sussex, probably best in the South East. Friendlky, generous and excellent food. Unbeatable on price.

Excellent rural pub. Very well kept & modestly priced Beer ? Food prices that are very affordable ! Exquisite secluded Beer garden to the side. Friendly and helpful bar staff. Family and Dog friendly. A real Gem of a find in East Sussex ? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
