The Rose & Crown in Melton

Visited on Friday 1st April at around 2pm with my partner and 5 month old son. It was quite and we had the pick of the tables. Sat next to a nice log fire which was perfect on such a cold day. The food was excellent as was the lady that served us. Nothing too much trouble. Would seriously recommend.

They don’t cater for vegans or plant based eaters without 48 hours notice minimum.Contacted them as wanted to pop in one day for lunch but as their menu doesn’t have a vegan option I wanted to check I could eat there.Reply received saying they would need 48 hours notice. What a shame they don’t even have one option for each course for vegans / plant based eaters to just pop in. I replied stating this, and their reply was that this is how they choose to run their pub.Shame in this day and age they don’t cater for everyone, I mean plant based is very common nowadays and I can’t think of many places that don’t have a plant based option on their menu.A reply from the owners a few years ago on another review site stated they ensure they have at least a vegan option for each course on the menu so I don’t know if the owners have changed since then?Obviously I can’t rate the food as I wanted to pop in one day and couldn’t therefore give 48 hours notice. Luckily there are lots of other options for plant based eaters in the area.

We were very disappointed with the Sunday lunch, which wasn’t a cheap meal, so did expect much better. Soup was lovely, homemade, but the main course wasn’t good.The mashed potatoes were cold, roast potatoes had been cooked and then reheated, Yorkshire puddings were burnt, and the roast beef was tough.Staff were polite but a lack of people checking that everything was alright

If you want rude incompetent staff door wedge beef and aunt Bessy roast potatoes then go waste your money here.Food was so not worth what we paid. The beef was so tough, not surprising being sliced into wedges and took ages for staff to bring out meals that were PRE ORDERED !!! No sauces on table so when asked for this, it felt like it was a major deal for the staff. I got looked at in such a rude manor. No changing facilities for babies, erm I'm not going to put my new born baby on the floor so just changed him on a table. Haha then when coming to pay the meal, older lady so rude stating she couldn't split the bill. Rude to my partner, all I'm going to say there is if you can't be nice in that job don't do it. Incompetent and rude won't be coming back here again

What a disaster the dinner I had at the Rose and Crown in Hose, for a start when the meal arrived all the waitresses got flustered with a family group of 20 people, then the meal itself was honestly the worst meal out that I've ever experienced I ordered beef and it was not cooked very well at all and was as tough as old boots, not being one to complain I went to pay for the 4meals I was told isn't it easier to pay all in one bill, well no as I wasn't paying for 20 people, then was given an excuse for what ever reason that I can't split the bill, how incompetent, never again will I go to this place again and I would advise others not to as well

Not very often I go here as I preferred the Black Horse when it was open. But I had a very pleasant evening on the settee near the fire. Nice ales and very friendly locals. Can see me stopping off here more often. Nice big car park. Must admit it takes a bit of finding in the dark when your not sure where the pub is. I believe the meals are good here as well. Pop in and try for yourself.

Wow what a lovely pub. We were staying close by with our dog and thought we'd give it a try. Very friendly and attentive staff. We had the burgers and they were excellent. The Madri lager was very refreshing. If you're in the area just check it out, you won't regret it :-)

Did a little circular walk around Hose and Harby and stumbled on the pub just where it should be, close to the church. A pint of black sheep ale and mini fish and chips went down very well, both excellent by the way. Nice welcome and chat with the land lady and we hope to be back soon.

I drove up from Cheltenham (200mile roundtrip) for their inaugural Porsche Sunday Breakfast Meeting. There were many Porsche owners and their cars in attendance and made to feel very welcome. The coffee was perfect and Rob the landlord, his Son Tyler & the rest of the team were really pleasant & friendly. I know they have more car events planned and can thoroughly recommend making it a stopping point if passing, you will not be disappointed and I will definitely be going back again soon.

We have had meals here twice recently. Fabulous food, well kept beer, great staff. Lovely pub in a little village, large, very pleasant outdoor seating area. We will be back.
