What a wonderful little place. And the staff! I don?t think they could have been more friendly, helpful and welcoming. I was travelling with my dog and was surprised when, alongside my own breakfast, a bowl with his own breakfast was brought out. I hadn?t asked for this and was told, ?He?s our guest too!?Parking is available, although this pub is hundreds of years old so be mindful that it?s a little tight, but certainly close and plentiful.The pub and dining areas are warm and comfortable, a nice mix of locals and guests. The weather was fairly good for our visit, but I can imagine it?s a wonderful place to spend an evening out of the wind and rain. It has that warm and earthy, comforting atmosphere.

Authentic village pub with real atmosphere, the food is excellent as well as the service from the staff. Perfectly placed close to the village cricket ground/recreation area just off the busy high street.

My wife and I booked a night here whilst attending a funeral nearby. We received a warm welcome from Donna, the manageress, our greyhound was instantly fussed and given water. I received especial attention as I am 6?3? and they keep a tally on how many headbutts their guests give to the venerable beams. Warning - they are low? We were joined by 7 friends for dinner. Rosie,our waitress, was patient with our shambolic attempts to coordinate our orders but the varied selection arrived simultaneously. Helpings were generous and the steak and ale pie was a classy act. Alex the barman kept the us well supplied with wine and other drinks. It was a very happy evening and we retired For the night in very comfortable beds with lovely crisp sheets The bedroom was simple and immaculately clean. Breakfast was delicious - generous helpings freshly cooked bu Doris with delicious bacon from the local butcher. Greyhound even had his own bowl of bacon trimmings so it was a very happy trio who set off into the rain We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can recommend the staff who really do credit to this lovely old pub. We feel very lucky to have found this pub and met such a great team who create an atmosphere totally in keeping with this historic hostelry Please and experience it for yourselves

In order to visit the Kipling house, Bateman's, my wife and I chose the local Inn the "Rose & Crown" to stay the night, and were very glad we did. Our room was attractive, with crisp neat linen. We coincided with their weekly 'Steak Night' and excellent it was. In particular, I'd mentioned ro 'Donna', the very nice manager, that I was on crutches and asked about local taxis. In the event, a local Bateman's Volunteer kindly gave us a lift there from the local station; but Donna had invited me to give her a call when we needed a lift and duly came out specially to fetch us back to the "Rose & Crown", for which we were very grateful. She and all the staff were delightful. We would highly recommend staying and/or eating at the "Rose & Crown". [Donna, I'm sorry not to have made this review sooner..]

Hubby and I rolled in after a chilly dog walk, to an open fire and friendly atmosphere, immediately seated for lunch despite no booking. Having seen the roast pass several times to fellow diners, I didn't hesitate to order the roast beef, while hubby plumped for rabbit and bacon pie. Like many, I do believe the test of a decent roast is in the gravy...I was not disappointed. We dined beside another couple and their dog, who also had the roast, including 1 for said pooch, which had its own listing on the menu, just after the child's meal! A most excellent glass of Rioja for myself and the seasonal, rather tasty Harvey's Christmas Ale for hubby. Garlic bread to start and sticky toffee pud were admittedly excessive to requirements, but it means that instead of cooking tonight, we can put our feet up when we get home and maintain the vibe enjoyed as we dined. Regulars occupied the bar stools while families with young children were also warmly welcomed. Very friendly and efficient staff with just the right level of banter - with both human and canine customers. A very fine dine indeed! Thank you.

We had a fabulous meal at the Rose and Crown last evening. The pub is a beautiful 15th Century traditional pub with low ceiling and beams. The landlord and staff are all very friendly and made a huge fuss of our Labrador. The meal was absolutely amazing, very generous portions cooked to perfection. We will definitely return when in the area again.

Stayed one night after a family funeral and were made very welcome. Comfortable compact room with no noise from bar below. Cosy and restful. Great cooked breakfast to set us up for the next day.

We stopped off to have a look around the area and popped in for a meal although the scampi we ordered was out of stock picked another meal which was nice.

We had a fantastic vegetarian lasagne, chips, salad and garlic bread for lunch, washed down with a refreshing pint. Very welcome after a walk.

I did not stay at the pub, but we had dinner? the burger was overcooked. My chicken supreme was also overcooked but the sauce was nice. The service was good. My side veg was stone cold, made them aware and it was changed immediately good service nice people, they just need a better chefSafety: You could not feel safer in a villageWalkability: The countryside nearby is stunning and the walks are easy to get to from the pub. See picture. Burwash is wonderful
