Really disappointing. 20 of us there last night for a work do and I’m so sad to say the food was really poor, I was so embarrassed after always telling everyone how great the food is here, but it wasn’t good. I had a vegan burger which was totally dry in a gluten free bun (no vegan cheese or onions as it said it came with). My chocolate brownie dessert was so salty I couldn’t eat it, gutted! Was looking forward to that, and it smelled amazing.Chatted to colleagues this morning, all of those who had the risotto said it was grim (and the menu said it came with ‘the greenest of vegetables’, it had 3 little kale leaves on top!) and the boss had the ribs which he said were mediocre.This used to be our ‘go to place’ for food :-(

A real gem of a pub, hidden away in Upper Farringdon there is a friendly village pub that serves amazing food and is worth the journey to visit.Parking: Easy parking beside the venue.

The pub has recently been taken over by new management sadly I didn’t visit the pub under the old management .the pub is tastefully decorated in side and the staff are helpful and friendly. I booked table for a Sunday evening @ 18.00 the food was nice although a little rushed, as soon as i had put my fork on the plate i assume the manger told one of the staff,,, THERE DONE ,, and our plates was cleared from the table in a flash, podding menu was then placed on the table, personally i like to take my time when eating and have some time between courses. I will probably give it six or seven months and go back to see if it’s changed.. final score 7 out 10

First visit for a couple of years. Very welcoming, excellent food & service. Only blackmark is the introduction of a 12.5% service charge by default. Both my friend & I do not agree with this practice & will politely ask for this to be not taken, which we trust will be done pleasantly.For good service & food / drink. We frequently tip more than that anyway. Watch this space.Parking: Plenty of room. Could do with couple more disability bays.
Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Roast lunch was lovely Good and variety of options for gluten free which is why we come back

Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere, great food, delicious beer, cosy seating by the woodburner, lovely staff, a really nice pub! Good to see the gorgeous & well behaved dogs in with their owners, too. Will definitely return.

I have visited the pub for meals often in the last two years, and the food, atmosphere and service are very good.However I like to give tips at my own discretion, and I notice that recently a 12.5%compulsory service charge has been imposed. I will be visiting much less frequently as a result.

I now live in the USA, but I grew up in Farringdon and have seen many owners of this pub come and go over the years. I have fond memories of sitting with my parents and siblings, sipping lemonade and eating cheese & onion crisps in the pub garden every summer. Each landlord has brought their own distinct flair to The Rose & Crown--the pub has always been a steady, consistent village staple. The current owners seem very welcoming and friendly, and have introduced regular special events that I don't think existed before to create community and belonging--quiz nights, Gin Wednesdays, a themed New Year's Eve event, etc. Sadly, I didn't manage to eat here during my short stay--they were closed for a private party on the one night I tried to have dinner there. Wish I'd been able to--the dining room was full every time I was there, and the food looked and smelled delicious. But my family went several times over the holidays for drinks, and it was everything a village pub should be--cozy and welcoming, with good beer and friendly staff. The music was a little loud the first time we went, but other than that, everything was great.

Had a really good night thanks to the staff. We had a group of 14. Ordering individually in advance was easy, service excellent and food very good. Definitely recommend
