"A simple but yet fantastic gastro pub The rose and crown is located in the centre of ulverston. The staff. Polite, helpful and friendly they contribute to a very warming atmosphere and engage well with the locals and tourists The food. I had the king prawn starter with chilli and garlic. Great portion, extremely tasty and great value for the price. My only problem was that I couldn’t get enough of it. My main was the panko chicken burger, the chicken was moist the panko batter was perfect, it came with skin on fries and onion rings which accompanied it perfectly (I declined the slaw and veg). The venue The Rose Crown is what a small town pub should be quiet and unassuming from the outside with a very quaint look to friendly and full of atmosphere on the inside. I can understand why the locals enjoy it Overall I will definitely be coming back and wouldn’t just recommend it to friends but I will be suggesting a visit next time I am here with friends."

"The menus we received were different from what we had seen online, offering quite limited options. Most of us opted for the Sunday roast—two chose beef, two opted for pork loin with crackling and apple sauce, and one went for fish and chips. It took about 20 minutes for someone to come take our orders, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy at the time. While waiting for our food, we ordered another pint and a coke; the pint arrived, but the coke did not. After a long wait of an hour, our food finally arrived, and I wish I could say it was worth it. The fish and chips were disappointing; the fish was served on a mere 14 tiny chips. The roast beef looked appealing, but it came with an onion chutney that wasn't mentioned on the menu, ruining the meal for one of our party. The pork loin with crackling turned out to be a burnt pork chop, accompanied by three dry, small roast potatoes, a smear of mash, an undercooked long carrot, and some bland greens. Honestly, it felt like some of the food was frozen, especially the chips. Charging £17 each for the pork roast (essentially a pork chop) and fish with a handful of frozen chips, as well as £18 for the roast beef, felt like a complete rip-off. Safe to say, we won’t be returning."

"Pre booked a table online as I wanted the table for a family retirement meal for my Mum, added into the comments a request to have a couple of bottles of fizz and sharing dessert for our party (which nobody acknowledged), I called a couple of days before to arrange this and pay upfront, I was told we would have two bottles of fizz and 6 glasses ready for us on the table on arrival we didn 't why? Awkward as then the waitress is coming over asking what we want to order to drink I was planning on surprising my Mum with the fizz. Sharing dessert I 'm not sure if there was a miscommunication between us as when it arrived after the meal I 'd question how many people were sharing the dessert. I 've been to the Farmers plenty over the years for food and it 's always been pretty decent, it 's always a good atmosphere etc. Unfortunately on this occasion the food was pretty poor. Two of us ordered the 'tandoori ' chicken kebabs so bland, I 'd question whether the chicken had ever seen any sort of marinade/spice mix. Rice was tasteless and there was a pitiful number of chips for a 'half half ' portion. Mussels again commented on the portion of chips served on the side tight. Fish dish was small but aren 't they always and the Cajun chicken and brisket meals were fine. A shame overall as like I said it 's always a good atmosphere and it is a nice place interior wise. I wouldn 't rush back unfortunately."

"I paid $4.70 for a small portion of very yellow chips and a warm Holland's pie that was not hot. It wasn't the best value for the price. Both the pie and chips tasted bland. The service was okay but not very inviting. I understand that you can't expect much for under five dollars, but I might consider trying somewhere else next time. It seems like they don't have much competition since Bar Conti down the street appears to be closed."

"I feel awful leaving a mid negative review as we've really enjoyed our visits and meals here previously, so I am sorry to the team. The service and cleanliness is brilliant, but the food really disappointed us on this occasion. I ordered the BBQ Chicken and Bacon panini and it was the most difficult thing to eat. The chicken was bland and incredibly chewy, not sliced or diced just what felt like a whole chicken breast crammed into one panini. The bacon was thick and equally as chewy. The BBQ was nice but there wasn't much in the panini to enjoy. My boyfriend ordered the soup of the day Celery and Stilton with a tuna sandwich and he said his was quite nice. But on trying mine, he agreed it lacked any flavour and was too chewy to eat. I'm really, really hoping it was just a one off as we were hoping to book an evening meal in there. I wouldn't write the place off but definitely won't be ordering anything with chicken or bacon there next time!"
