Rose and Crown Inn in West Dorset

Great secluded village location.Beautiful views from the spacious beer garden. Dogs on leads welcome.Had light mid week lunch. Menu slightly limited, but the Wadsworth beers excellent. Service quick & efficient. Prices reasonable.

The Rose and Crown is our favourite country pub. Situated in the village of Trent, it combines quality food with friendly service from the staff. There is plenty of options for indoor and outdoor eating in a relaxed, comfortable environment. Nice indoor vibe at the bar, and there’s comfy leather sofas and an open fire in an interesting old side room. Cozy. Perfect for a midwinter visit. There’s a good selection of beers and currently Aspall’s cider on draught too. That’s a personal favourite of mine while out walking. Eating or drinking outside is a good experience with multiple spaced tables. There’s even smaller ‘tables for two’ and all with a decent rural view. There’s a spacious bordered garden with good plantings, including lots of lavender that in the July sunshine was covered with bees. Accommodation is available in the form of several rooms away from the main pub building. You can even catch the last of the day’s sunshine at the bench tables out the front of the pub. Nice. We’ve done that. It’s decent quality all round at this pub, which is what I like. 5 stars.

What a great find, definitely recommend if you are in the area. Such warm welcoming from the lovely Sonia the food was 10/10 service brilliant and the garden is just stunning. If I lived closer this would definitely be my local

Here for a post funeral wake. The staff were warm and welcoming. The food was plenteous and delicious. Combine all of that with beautiful buildings and a lovely garden with gorgeous views especially on a sunny afternoon - what's not to like?

Excellent location in beautiful village. Unfortunately our second meal not up to the same high standard. The triple cooked chips were basic. The burger was average and even when we were asked how we would like them cooked when they arrived the waiter said they were all cooked the same way. The dessert menu was unappealing. Perhaps a different cook was on duty?

We were just passing and found this lovely pub by chance, so we popped in for a spontaneous lunch. The food was fantastic, generous portion sizes cooked perfectly. We sat in the garden which was beautiful and peaceful with fantastic views of the countryside. Highly recommend a visit! 👌🏻

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC....Couldn't recommend this B&B gastro pub highly enough...From the charming staff that couldn't do enough to please or the best Sunday lunch I've ever had ., Or to the most complete room we have ever stayed in...You will not be disappointed with this most perfect find ....The only negative is the bedrooms are not shouted about enough ...Woke this morning from the best sleep to be greeted with a dear walking past our room...Massive shout out to a fantastic job being done by Marcus & Megan and their team....Will definitely be back x

Had so many lovely meals here previously, the last time was so bad it tarnishes all my good memories of this place. Bland food, too many components without thought for how they go together and unfortunately when it wasn't bland it tasted awful. Venison with burnt chocolate and a half centimetre layer of dijon mustard for 25 quid.Complained politely to the wonderful waitress who was really apologetic. Only reason it doesn't get 1 star.

Went to celebrate my fathers 90th birthday. Atmosphere good, however the food didn't deliver and we felt it was overpriced. My fathers steak was tough, my son ordered a vegan meal however the chefs clearly hadn't made a note as it was delivered as vegetarian not vegan. I understand that most diners don't have allergies or intolerances so the rating I have provided is for our experience only. Other diners seemed to be enjoying their food.

Great for a relaxed Sunday lunch. The menu is very short so not much choice but the food was all really good and the portions generous. There were two vegetarians in our group and they really enjoyed the roast cauliflower dish.The staff were brilliant and service spot on.
