The Rose and Crown Portway is a bar and restaurant on Alcester Road near Portway. The comfortable bar, separate restaurant and large garden give diners a choice of settings for lunch, dinner, drinks and relaxed gatherings throughout the week.
Steaks are a signature feature, joined by burgers, wood-fired pizzas and a broad range of freshly prepared pub favourites. Bar snacks and sharing plates work for a casual visit, while the grill and main dishes provide more substantial choices.
Sunday service centres on a popular roast menu that changes weekly and uses carefully selected ingredients. The range and flexible spaces make the restaurant useful for family meals, groups, celebrations and quieter weekday dining.
A comprehensive selection of beer and wine accompanies the food, with cocktails and other bar drinks also available. Guests with allergies should discuss their requirements with the team because the menu changes and food is prepared in a shared kitchen.
