The Rose - Carta

Just passing through and we stopped for lunch. We both had a baguette, which came with salad. They were very nice and the staff were very welcoming. A good price too.

Good choice on the menu for all 4 people, including 1 vegan. Plenty of room outside for pre-dinner drinks. Food was cooked and presented to a high standard, helped by excellent service.

We took our two young grandchildren for an early dinner and were welcomed fantastically. The children were made to feel special, and the food was of excellent quality and great value for money. The staff were all wonderful. Well done! Ver carta

The customer service at this restaurant was excellent. It seemed like the manager was the one serving us, and he was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. My chicken dish was delicious, and the spicy beef starter had a great kick to it. The staff's knowledge of the menu was impressive. Unfortunately, there was a disruptive customer causing a scene, but that was not the restaurant's fault. She just needed to lower her volume a bit.

I was organising a family gathering for a dozen of us and had a few minor teething problems initially but once the Manager became involved it all went well. He was at front of house on the evening and is everything that a Maitre d’ should be.: welcoming , friendly and efficient. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and nice decor that goes with the age of the place. A restaurant is mainly judged by its food, of course, and the food was indeed superb and good value. All of us enjoyed it and I’d not hesitate to come here again.

The restaurant recently updated its menu, but not for the better. There are now fewer choices and some previously popular items have been removed. My wife, who is vegetarian, has always been disappointed by the limited options, which are now even worse than before - just a salad and a veggie burger. We used to visit regularly, as we live so close by, but we will not be returning due to the new menu options. It's a shame, as there are so many vegetarians and vegans nowadays, and the restaurant should offer more appealing options. They should also bring back the fish and chips, as it was the best item on the menu. Ver carta

If my review was for the staff it would have been 5 stars but the food was very underwhelming My husband had the prawn curry which he said was ok but, as a vegetarian, I only had two options. I went for the mushroom ravioli. It came up and I was very surprised at the small portion and total lack of any sauce a nice creamy mushroom sauce may have saved the dish. The menu did say it was cooked on wine and cherry tomato or something similar but to me it was just dry pasta with rocket thrown over. For the price this is just not acceptable. I should have complained because I feel they must have forgotten the sauce but surely it would have been cooked in it???? Won’t return due to lack of choice o...

Disappointing, is there a new owner here? We used dine here on odd occasions and always enjoyed the experience. Last Thursday was sadly not great. Firstly, to walk in and be greeted by people in the bar f'ing b'ing really loudly, surely as a family establishment management should put a stop to this. The waiting staff used to be enthusiastic and on the case, not this time, much confusion over the orders resulting in 3 meals going cold whilst we waited for the fourth. To me it would make sense for one server be allocated to a set number of tables. Food ok but not as good as previous visits with what seemed less choices for more money. In fairness, we were offered free desserts and/coffee, but...

Posting on behalf of Wife. Humiliated in front of other diners purely for coming in with a double pram. One female member of staff pointed at newborns babies saying they can’t accommodate that ‘thing’. It’s small enough to fit through a single door so doesn’t take up much more space than a single pram! Even offered to put pram away and place chairs at the table to create more space which received huffs from staff around the inconvenience of having two sleeping babies in their chairs! Made to feel unwelcome and anxious for the duration of lunch so left swiftly within an hour. Fortunately other diners were lovely but staff are in serious need of training on how to treat customers. Numerous new... Ver carta
