*reviewing an early Xmas meal. It was OK. I had the crab cakes, which tasted nice, but could have been a touch crispier. Main was the Xmas burger. The burger itself was a little over and too tall to eat nicely. The chips were great and the coleslaw was good but different, being flavoured with nutmeg I think. I had a cheese board which was fine, although there was 3x as much cheese as biscuits. Service was mixed, starters came out very quickly, but then a long gap for the mains. (The turkey roasts looked and tasted great and I think that's what the pub is best known for)

Lovely food, friendly service, will definitely be back!

Had a fantastic meal from there festive menu with my family. All twelve of us really enjoyed it. Lovely food, friendly staff and beautiful setting. Thank you!!!

Drove for an hour to visit, and was not left dissapointed. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The roast has to be experienced, it was spot on. Both of us went for the beef with sides of extra roast potatoes and the obligatory cauli cheese. The finish on the roast potatoes was crisp,fluffy on the inside and the leeks on the side were sublime. We shared the cheesecake dessert. The base was crumbly, this was a masterclass on how a cheesecake should be. The only thing I could comment on is that the roast beef was sliced really thinly, a few thicker slices would have been ideal. But all in all, going here is worth the visit. The staff were on top of everything. A very well run pub, and it's no wonder it was fully booked. Definitely worth a visit.

I've been here a few times for food and drinks. Above average pub grub and a huge menu. Pricing is very reasonable considering the location. Beer garden is lovely in the sun.

Lovely pub with a good selection of drinks, nice food and a huge beer garden with plenty of outdoor seating. We spent an afternoon here drinking cider in the sun, then enjoyed some great food. The fish & Chips was good, very nice steak burger, and the monkfish kebab was excellent. Excellent value for money considering it's location

Lovely village pub, friendly staff and a great drink and food selection. Have been a couple of times now for food and have had generous portions, freshly cooked and tasty. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, decent amount of parking. We'll be back :)

Had a very nice lunch here. Food was excellent. Highly recommended this pub.

We ate at The Rose and Crown in Lower Hartlip for the first time recently and were really impressed with the food. There was a good selection on the menu and all the meals were enjoyed, lots of nice flavours and cooked to our liking. As the Public Bar was very busy we ate in the Lounge Bar, this also got busy, as did the restaurant. It was really great to see a business thriving after recent years. I would recommend to book if you have a bigger party. I am looking forward to going back to this gem of a pub.

Absolutely lovely pub with great garden views. Sunday dinner was grand... little herb garden at the rear of the beer garden with some great smelling herbs. Great management with a friendly service... soon to be doing different events. But always live music and even barber hair cut and a pint..
