About The Rose & Crown
On Farnborough Way in Orpington, The Rose & Crown is a pub serving classic British food across an indoor dining room and a large, lawned garden. The menu runs to 23 dishes, including garlic bread, a soup of the day and the Antiguan, alongside drinks such as the Cranbaretto and the Cherry Bomb. Seating stretches between the two spaces, giving diners a choice of eating inside or out. The pub takes walk-ins rather than table bookings. The garden's lawn setting gives the space room to spread out beyond the main bar.

“The garden is its main attraction. The food is honestly horrific. I've had better from Domino's and mc Donald's . We hadn't been for a long time and thought we'd give it another try to see if it had improved but sadly hadn't. Enjoy a drink and a sit in the sunshine but please don't get food it's disgusting. The £20 chicken wings were literally bone and to compensate they shove a load of really oily chips with them. Heavy, stodgy tasteless food at crazy prices.”

“We had a late sunday lunch/early dinnner on Mothers day. The pub was busy and close to fully booked, yet we had attentive service. Staff were friendly and our waiter kieran (sorry if wrong spelling) was fab and answered my daughters many questions on dessert. All 5 of us really enjoyed our meals. Looking forward to our next visit.”

“I love this pub. Real wood burners, beautifully decorated, great staff, great vibe and even their cappuccino is good. These Christmas decorations are so well thought and beautifully displayed. Very welcoming. Thoroughly recommend it for Birthdays and any other celebrations.”

“We had our glorious Pink Ribbon Foundation Christmas lunch here in a Tiki Hut. The location was perfect,as we're all the staff and the food. We will be back next year! 👍”

“It is a lovely pub with nice decor and garden. The fish and chips is the best eventhough it is £20. The cod is fresh. Macaroni cheese, prawn are good as well. Steak is ok. Free parking.”
