"My wife and I have had several evenings at this place and also takeaways, which have always been brilliant. We saw a sign outside last month stating that they now do breakfast. As we had a busy day ahead of us, we decided to have breakfast for a change. The breakfast was excellent and reasonably priced. I had the full English and my wife had the Turkish breakfast. If you want something different, then please try here. You won’t be disappointed."

"I attended dinner here with my family on Mother’s Day. We had a very nice meal and it was extremely enjoyable. The staff were really nice and polite. I would recommend going here. The staff: As I mentioned before, the staff were very polite. They were properly briefed on the menu and any special dishes that were on the menu that day. The food was very nice and well presented. It was also warm; which made it very pleasant and even more enjoyable. I had roast beef and the meat was perfectly cooked. The rest of the meal was nice too. If you go, I recommend the salt and pepper squid as a starter because it was incredibly tasty. The food: The food was delectable. There was a variety of options on the menu as well as a decent amount of options on the children’s menu. I really do recommend coming here. The cleanliness and decor: I am pleased to say that the cleanliness of the Rose and Crown was perfect. The tables were wiped down immediately after people left and were given a thorough cleaning. The rest of the restaurant was extremely clean too. The decor inside and outside was extremely nice. It really welcomes you inside. 1010. The service: The service was really quick. You are served very soon after you walk in. They remembered everything we ordered and brought it out on good time. The Beer Garden: The beer garden was very nice in summer and had a few tables where you could sit and have a drink. However, there was no entertainment for children and considering they had a decent sized outdoor area, it was disappointing that this was not included. When we went recently, the Beer Garden was closed due to the weather. This meant there was even less space to play despite the massive car park that they could have used part of to build a play area; even if it was just a small one. To conclude, I believe you should visit here as it was overall a very enjoyable experience and I would go again."

"What a delicious roast dinner! It has been a while since I've eaten here. Today, i was with a group of 4 celebrating for a birthday, we ate from the Sunday menu which was a minimum of 2 courses for £32 or £28 if you opt for the classic menu over a roast. The restaurant was packed, and I thought we would be waiting a while for our food, yet they were well staffed, and the service and time waiting for food was spot on. The food wow, the meat was the best lamb I have ever tasted, really good sized portions and came with extra gravy, good helping of veg and some pork crackling, couldn't fault it! For pudding, I had the salted caramel and sticky toffee sundae. Again, it was delicious. Although due to the price, this is not somewhere I could afford to eat regularly, the price complimented the food and service really well and is great for a special occasion. 5 stars for sure. Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Sunday Roast"

"here for a vegan birthday breakfast after reading of good things online, and generally eating was good, but small portions, and frankly, the gourmet feeling they had created with polnta, and the similar was settled by the baked beans that were clearly from a dose. also from any reason it was really cold inside and we had to move tables at least twice to be out of the draft! I want to go to one of the vegan tasting evenings, but would not go back to breakfast!"

"This once great “pub” has become more and more elitist and up itself. I remember the much heralded opening in 2016 as well as giving it a 5-star review and considering it one of the town’s gems. But now, with the place owned independently, it’s trying to position itself as a gastro pub but has entirely lost the pub vibe. Turning-up at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon we’re asked if we’ve booked. Replying that we haven’t, we are told that it’s table service only and they can only squeeze us in to a table outside. So we sit, and we wait. And wait. After 15 minutes with nobody coming out and being told by the trendy young person at the bar that it’s always been table service and it’s every day, we get up and leave. How this place can claim to be first and foremost a pub is misrepresentation. If you want a real pub, there are plenty in HH and the recently opened “Tap” on South Road gives a better choice of beers that rotate more frequently. If you want a decent restaurant, there are better options than the Lockhart, which for the most part hasn’t changed its menu since it opened."
