The Rose And Crown - Richmondshire

Great location and lovely country pub We called in for lunch on our way to a wedding I chose lasagne and the portion was enormous It was very tasty and was accompanied by chips My husband had a very large piece of pie and mash The service was good and the landlord was friendly

On arrival in the Dales we tried at about 6pm to get a meal at the the Rose and Crown but were told that they were fully booked. Fair enough, so we booked for 8pm the following evening. We arrived at 7.55 but were told that the restaurant was closed. If we found a table they would take our order. The table was not very clean which was a reflection of the whole place. They took our order 3 Hunters chicken, one with chips only and 1 large Yorkshire Pudding with pork filling. This seemed to cause some confusion as they asked several times about the Hunters chicken requirement. We were surprised that an establishment of that size couldn't supply sparkling water when we tried to order the drinks. The drinks arrived fairly quickly. The meals 3 out of the 4 started arriving after an hour and a quarter at 9.15. but we had no cutlery which, when asked for, were unceremoniously put in a pile on the table. We were told not to touch the plates as they were hot. They were cold as was the food on them. The chips were dark brown and chewy as if they had been reheated and were cold. The chicken was cold. The Yorkshire pudding was like leather and the contents were barely warm as were the boiled potatoes accompanying them. The 4th meal Hunters chicken with chips only never arrived . When we complained that the food was cold. it was snatched away without apology. After another 10 minutes of not seeing anyone, we walked out, prepared to go without a meal that evening rather than pay top prices for reheated poor quality meals. The 4 different staff we saw were reasonably friendly but didn't seem to be in control of the situation. We will not go there again. It is the only pub or restaurant in the village and is letting down all the local holiday facilities who must find it difficult to recommend it.

We ate here while staying at a B&B in Bainbridge. Good menu. Chicken and mushroom pie was excellent with good quantities of seasonal vegetables. Beef Yorkie was also very good. Nice atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff.

This is the first review I have ever written. I normally wouldn't bother, but this pub is a hidden gem and deserves recognition. We went for a weekend break and had the best time! It is a lovely pub in a gorgeous setting. The bar staff are amazing. Rob and Andy were so welcoming and put on two great nights. Thanks so much guys, we can't wait to come back again! Kindest regards Fran and Nay

Visiting Bainbridge for Beamish rally so decided to book here for Sunday lunch thinking it would be a proper Sunday roast,how dissapointed we were. We both had roast beef,2 slices of the thinnest beef from the butchers deli,4 small boiled pots,even though we asked for mash,frozen veg the smallest yorkshire ever. Not the best we have ever had expensive, £35 with 2 soft drinks.
