The lady dealing with orders and food was not very friendly. I took a seat about 530 ,my order was taken about 20 minutes later. My meal didn't arrive by 640 so I had to leave. Ridiculous. Customer service training needed.

Stayed overnight here on a Sunday having spent the afternoon at the Barbican, watching the snooker. Chose to eat here and we both opted for the Sunday Roast, one beef and one chicken. Very nice food, good quality and freshly cooked. We did find the...restaurant and bar area a tad cool as we were sat there and noticed the radiators weren’t on. However our room was warm, clean and functional. Breakfast next morning was excellent, if a little slow at coming out, although that was probably as it was freshly cooked to order. Free parking too is a huge bonus.More

We checked Trip Advisor before our visit to York and found this pub, the reviews were excellent and the menu looked great. We were not disappointed, I had the fish pie and my wife had the steak and Guinness pie. We were full, the food...was superb and the staff couldn’t have been better. If you visit York you must try this pub, the food, wine and service is excellent.More

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!!!More

We parked near and thought we’d pop in for a drink until our friends arrived. Lovely, cosy pub. Friendly guy behind the bar. Ordered club sandwich and a fish finger sandwich, both were very tasty, good price and had amazing chips. Highly recommended.

We booked this Inn on the advice from a friend who lives in Yorkshire. The rooms are not fancy but the beds/bedding are very comfy. Our room was large and super clean! The pub and dining rooms are very British! They have good drinks specials...throughout the week and the food is very good. They specialize in "pies". We were there for two nights and ate in the Inn both nights. A big shout out to Christopher who couldn't be more accommodating. If I ever am in York, UK again, I'll defiantly book here! You should too.More

We were welcomed by Simon and his team and were made to feel really welcomed even though we hadn’t booked. He made room for us even though they were very busy. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced

We came to this unassuming pub and had a brilliant meal. We both ordered pies. My husband had a steak pie and I had a celeriac, leek and cheese pie. Both were delicious and served with lovely chips and mushy peas. The person serving was...good fun and friendly. It’s a bit off the beaten track but worth the walk as the food is lovely. People on the next table ordered burgers and sausage and mash which looked excellent too.More

A lovely welcome from the staff at the Rose & Crown. A traditional pub just outside the city walls with a great value menu of fabulous food. Ours was only a fleeting visit but we will be back!

We stayed over for one night. Lovely room, but it was on the front and very noisy with students from midnight till 4.30am so no sleep. I had burger which was very nice however my husband dissatisfied with beef pie. Also they need to get...full bottles of Prosecco in stock. Staff great, breakfast great. Yes I would stay here again but request a back roomMore
