Bucking Fastard left this review about The Rose & Crown
At the southern end of the High Street and set above the busy road,there is a veranda under a pleasing metal canopy running outside along the road ,while inside there is a smart looking restaurant up some steps to the left ,the serving bar straight ahead and a lounge seating area to the right with a mix of modern furniture with some sofas,comfy chairs,high tables but little in the way of decoration on the walls.Two handpumps both clipped with Fullers London Pride (ok nick,NBSS 3.5 ) while the pub grub menu wasn't too long ,a bit pricey but my steak & malbec pie was decent enough.Service was slow and the staff spent a lot of time talking to their mates who make up a good proportion of the punters inside on my Wednesday evening visit.
There is a very large carpark and it's close to a junction on the M25 but I found it more functional than interesting.I prefer the boozer atmosphere in the Saracens up the road,where there is more ale variety too.

Designer-furnished establishment apparently part of M&B group, although claiming free house status, nonetheless is a comfortable location to enjoy some good ales (and the food looked nice although not sampled). Lots of ins & outs and nooks & crannies to find a corner in.

A split-level food-oriented pub, with a dark interior and flagstoned upper bar level. There's a slight "Sunday newspaper magazine" interior on the lower level, although the building does show glimpses of its age (likely a coaching inn prior to the advent of the A41). Naff muzak means this is one to take a prospective date to rather than your rucksack and notepad (although the schoolboy in me noted the Finbarr Saunders-esque 'Sticky Platter' for £17.50). There's also an unconscious nod to Wetherspoons with the brown tartan carpet and 'up hill and down dale' route to conveniences.
