The Rose And Crown

I absolutely love this pub: it’s a little worn around the edges (worn with love, I think, though could do with a revamp of furniture and paint), but it’s homely and local. The staff are incredible and the beer selection is great. Wine choice is okay. Super dog and family friendly. Only let down is the food, especially pizza. It’s super thin but often overcooked zero crust, and the dough is comparatively tasteless. Chicken wings tasted reheated, toasties sounded nice but only available during the week in the daytime, plus loads of veggie subs on pizza even if you wanted bacon. If I could transport the Wheatsheaf pizzas (same price or cheaper) it’d make the perfect pub. I go for drinks and atmosphere, as I don’t think it’s a destination for food as much as I want it to be which is a real shame.

🚇 Tooting Bec 🍺 £5.80 Estrella ❤️ A fantastic SW17 local. . The Rose & Crown is located in a residential area on the edge of Tooting Common. The nearest tube is Tooting Bec which is a five minute walk away. . This pub was refurbished around six years ago as the pub looked tired and in need of some life. The dark green exterior with a bit foliage here and there has made this pub an inviting place to visit. . The decor here is traditional with light walls, olive green panels and wood floors. At the centre of this pub is the servery with tap list above. There is plenty of seating in this medium sized pub, there are poser tables near the servery and low level tables a chairs around the edges of the bar. At the back of the pub is a snug beer garden complete with chesterfield sofa, out front is additional seating if you want to watch the local comings and goings. . The beer line up here is impressive, this pub has an excellent range of local London and British brews plus the usual keg stalwarts to wet your whistle. As this was pub two of my crawl I played it safe and went for an Estrella, it was a nice pint and cost under six quid. The food menu is served up by @flatboyspizza , like the beer there is a good selection, most pizzas cost around twelve quid. . I arrived around 1pm to watch the second half of the Liverpool v Chelsea game, the pub was packed which was great to see. I loved the atmosphere here, it had a proper local and welcoming feel. The punters were a mix of lads in to watch the game, friends having a lunchtime catch up and amongst the crowd was a woman having a large glass of red wine enjoying a good book. The staff were excellent, they immediately acknowledged my presence at the bar, served me in no time at all and they all had glowing smiles, I really felt welcome. . The @rosecrownsw17 is a brilliant boozer offering a great selection of beers, food and warm hospitality. I can’t recommend this pub highly enough folks, will definitely visit again. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 21/01/23
