Rose & Crown - Saffron Walden

SquareMeal Review of Rose & Crown - Saffron Walden

Following a subtle but extensive refurbishment, this village boozer is back in business with a new chef poached from The Cricketers at Clavering(famed as the pub owned by Jamie Oliver’s parents). The menu sticks firmly to tried-and-tested pub grub (steak, sausages, chicken and chips), but the real draw is the traditional Sunday roast: choose from three meats with mountains of crisply roasted potatoes, fluffy Yorkshire puds, a porcelain bowl of English vegetables and sauces galore. To drink, a short wine list provides the usual suspects and there are beers for the real ale buffs. Inside, the original beams and slightly haphazard layout make for cosy drinking, while the pleasant, raised garden is good for summer lunch with the kids. It may not outshine the nearby competition, but the new-look Rose & Crown is already a hit with the locals.

Fabulous Pub ina stunning little village

Absolutely superb yet again! I tried the pork ribs this time, and they were incredible—such a lovely combination of flavours. I would definitely recommend this dish and the pub as a whole. Quality food, generous portions, excellent service, and the decor is just lovely. It's clean, and cosy, and the atmosphere is always great. Whether you eat indoors or outdoors, you're in for a treat. Plus, it's dog-friendly too! Thanks, and see you soon!

Rose and Crown supports racism and violence

After viewing film footage taken on the 17th December 2022 , I am confident that The Rose and Crown Ashdon are complicit in animal abuse and racism.  This establishment harbours abusive , violent and racist huntsmen and women from the Essex Farmers Hunt.  The video has been submitted to Essex Police , where I will be ensuring that criminal charges are brought against those individuals for threatening behaviour and racism.   I contacted the Rose and Crown as an independent reporter and I asked the landlord if he would be banning the perpetrators for their violence and racism , to which he replied ‘I’m not banning anyone mate’

 

I’ll be exposing the Rose and Crown and the Essex Farmers Hunt continually for the foreseeable future.
