  Authentic British for sure.  Not part of a chain. So colorful, typical English service and a menu that is basically food brought in from the Thai place around the corner- which was the perfect portion (not oversized American) and reasonably priced.  I recommend you try it as long as you are not a snob coming out of Harrods 10 min walk away.

  The Rose & Crown was on our way back to the AirBnB from Sloane Square tube station.  The name is what originally drew us in.  A classic pub name in IMHO.  The pub has a traditional feel to it.  A large bar area, with limited seating around and a pool table.  The juke box has a really great selection of oldies and newbies.  One regular, got up put a classic play list that got our feet tapping.  The bartender was friendly and offered up a few larger suggestions for me.  Guinness for the little lady, delightfully poured and a 1664 for me.  We sat at a little two top, next to a window looking outside.  They have a seating area outside for when the weather is nice.  Apparently they also have Thai food available to order since they past out some menu's to us.  We passed, however the next two times we were in, the locals praised the quality of the food.  We met a nice gentleman at the bar our last time in and we shared some good stories about the pub and his life.  All very friendly and polite conversations.  Worth a stop if you are in the hood.

  It was a very good cultural immersion! The price was very good for a pricey neighborhood. The service was super nice and very attentive. I would totally recommend the place.

  We were walking around looking for somewhere to eat in the area, and saw that this place was open and had food.  We stopped in and were intrigued to see that they served Thai food, so we ordered some and settled in with a very healthy "large" wine glass (it was literally a third of a bottle!) and some beer.
  
  The food was brought in a few minutes later by a kind lady who must have lived next door or something.  Both the ginger curry and pad thai were really good (though my girlfriend found the pad thai a bit sweet for her liking).  It was also relatively inexpensive especially given the serving size and quality of the food.
  
  The ambiance was great as well - just a neighborhood bar (er... pub) with a nice bartender and a few locals playing pool.  We'd definitely recommend this place to friends (and will return next time we're in the area).

  I've been to the Rose & Crown a few times, usually whilst undertaking the Circle Line pub crawl and as such I had never really tried their food, or anything but their cheapest half pint of lager... however it was all very near the start of the adventure so my memory was still functional when I got there.
  
  Recently though I went after a giving concert at Cadogan Hall in Sloane Square. I went with the whole of the orchestra I was playing in, and somehow... somehow we managed to pack into this tiny pub with the rest of the regulars. It seemed like a squeeze, though there's definitely a lot more there on Circle Line day, and the landlord told us that there are even more packed in during the Chelsea Flower Show which is nearby. It was quite hard to imagine so many people just in one room, and the Rose & Crown is a small pub. Some of us moved outside to sit on their benches which was better for space, but not for our temperatures!
  
  That soon changed with the arrival of our food. A lot of pubs seem to be cooking up and serving Thai food, but this is the first one I've been to where it tastes anywhere near as good as the Thai restaurants. I had a red curry, a few of my companions had green curries or noodles and we all agreed they were a good effort. The portions were a tad small, however a couple of my friends were full with food remaining and so those of us still hungry polished off theirs too. Lovely grub.
  
  Alcohol-wise their selection isn't the biggest with just a couple of ales and lagers, but for a pub only a couple of minutes walk from Sloane Square, the prices are good. Sure, still more than I might pay in my local in Hammersmith but definitely less than the other pubs around this, dare I say, posh area.
  
  A little pub with a bit of charm, and the lads behind the bar were a good laugh, as was the landlady who came out with our food and managed a bit of banter before realising we were nutters to sit out in the cold and moving back inside to keep herself warm. There were only the two behind the bar which did mean it took a while to get served, and the lack of space and tables led to a cold evening, but an enjoyable one at that.
