Absolutely love this place. A fabulous walk up from Marsden or Slaithwaite followed by fantastic views, a great welcome and great food and beer. Loads of parking and a brilliant place to take kids and dogs as there is loads of grassy outdoor space for them to safely run around.

A good view of slaithwaite and marsden. plenty of outdoor seats, we arrived 1:40pm and did wait a bit long for our meals. the steak pie was delicacy and plenty of beef steak. the fish pie was in generous portion, it would be perfect if had more smoke fish in it. the fish and chips were tasty and plenty of garden peas. sticky toffee pudding with custard was tasty.

My partner and I made a much longed for return to the Rose & Crown last week. The pub is located on a hill overlooking the rolling hills of Slaithwaite. Following a 1 mile walk from the centre of the village, naturally up hill so I wouldn’t recommend the walk for those who tire easily! You arrive at the authentic and cosy Rose & Crown. They have a beautiful outside seating area and have outside cover. Inside is your classic English pub vibes, they have a main bar area and a few rooms that off shoot the main entrance which allows for a more private or less hustle and bustle atmosphere. We were greeted by the owner with a welcoming smile and personalised chat about our walk and how we ended up in his pub today! Extremely welcoming and makes you feel at ease after a leg heavy walk. There are a variety of drinks to quench your thirst, I even managed to spot a Thatchers Zero apple cider which is often unheard of in pubs! The music was spot on in the background (for me anyway!) and one room had sports playing for those who wanted to join. The pub will often have an outside projector under cover to watch main sporting events. My partner and I had a few drinks, played a few games and had a pizza from the food truck that alternates upon each week. I understand this pub hit hard times after Lockdown and has only recently opened on reduced hours. I want to shout this charismatic pub from the hilltops and remind everyone that it’s back open! It’s a gem of a pub an excuse to get your walking boots on, dust the cobwebs off and trek for a well earned drink! Parking is also plentiful for those whose walking attire is hung up for the day. I’d only like to see more alcohol free options (that replicate savory non alcohol drinks like apple ciders and IPAs over ‘mixed fruit’ options) and … tricky enough being low alcohol, the pub used to be amazing with dietary variations, but since the venders came on site it can be quite restrictive dietary wise due to the nature of being ‘pop up’. However, plenty of snacks and posh crisps behind the bar! The Rose & Crown is certainly worth the visit, if visiting from out of town or nipping up to one of your locals. The food and drink is spot on and cosy at ease atmosphere is all anyone asks for in this busy world! 🍻 Oh! And a bonus, the pub is dog friendly, infact with the decor seems to encourage dogs! 🐕

Good selection of beers and wines available. The food is fantastic and never disappoints with a wide menu on offer. Very friendly and helpful staff. The views are amazing and you can enjoy this from the large outside seating area. Plenty of parking spaces. Also caters for private events.

An absolute gem! Utterly stunning views across the Clone Valley, heaps of outdoor space, a super warm welcome from the lovely landlord and locals, and Empire ale on cask and Mexican street food to boot. Would massively recommend to anyone looking for a scenic drink in the area, and definitely more than worth the walk 🍻
