Rose And Crown, York

The waitress who took my order and served the food was not very kind. I sat down at around 5:30, but my order was not taken until about 20 minutes later. Unfortunately, my meal still had not arrived by 6:40, so I had to leave. This is unacceptable. They need to improve their customer service.

We stayed overnight on a Sunday after spending the afternoon at the Barbican watching snooker. We decided to dine at the restaurant and both chose the Sunday Roast, one beef and one chicken. The food was very enjoyable, made with good quality ingredients and freshly cooked. We did find the restaurant and bar area a bit chilly as the radiators weren't on while we were seated. However, our room was warm, clean, and functional. The breakfast the next morning was excellent, although it took a little longer to come out, most likely because it was cooked to order. The free parking was also a great perk.

Before heading to York, we consulted Trip Advisor and came across this pub with excellent reviews and a promising menu. Our expectations were surpassed as my wife and I enjoyed a delicious fish pie and steak and Guinness pie. The food was outstanding and the staff were exceptional. We left feeling satisfied and would highly recommend this pub to anyone visiting York for its excellent food, wine, and service.

Arrived just in time for the early bird lunch menu 12-4pm. We ordered 3 different pies from the menu, some had soup starters some had pudding. It was beautiful! £10 for 2 courses. Lovely staff, great service! All good!!!

Being in York for a week, we were only staying across the road from the Rose Crown, so decided to give it a try based on good TA, reviews. A warm, comfortable friendly atmosphere engulfed us on arrival. It was early evening so plenty of table space g there wouldn't be later., we discovered! We chose a table for 2 near the delightful open fire. Ordering drinks at the bar, we perused the menu. The pies come recommended but not feeling we could manage them, having had a sizeable lunch, we opted for sausages mash flat iron steak with salad chips. The food arrived after 20 mins, which indicated it had been freshly prepared. Both meals were superb, both in presentation, generosity flavour. My steak melted in the mouth, the chips were hot crisp altogether moreish! My husband's sausages were meaty flavourful goo, with creamy mash d tasty cabbage. The friendly waitress who asked if we were enjoying our meals, had time to chat to us also took a second drinks order, which she brought over. The first course having settled by then, I decided to have a dessert chose the apple and blackberry crumble with icecream. Once again, a delicious dish with a crispy crumble topping sweet but not overly so, fruit filling. If it hadn't been for having to wait another hour, we would have stayed for the popular quiz night, which begins at 9pm. But having had a tiring day during touristy things in York, we left feeling replete very satisfied. Well done Rose Crown, a true gem of a pub!!!
