The Rose and Crown, Hawridge Common

I completely disagree with the below review. I have visited The Rose and Crown on many occasions since the change of hands for food and drinks with my friends and family and I have to say that I will continue to do so.

My experience there is always a pleasurable one and the food is always good quality and homemade. On my most recent visit I had the steak, mushroom and real ale pie and it was delicious, the meat was tender and the pastry was definitely freshly made. In contrast, I did visit before the current owners took over and had a lasagne which was clearly pre-packed and heated in a microwave, which I would expect to find in a Weatherspoons for �1.99.

On another positive note, the service is always exceptional and friendly. One thing I would recommend is that you phone and make a reservation if you are eating (especially on Sunday's) as the word seems to be getting round quickly how nice The Rose and Crown really is.
