Rose and Crown Pub???

[katiesmom]

I'm beginning to prepare for my November vacation to Disney and am thinking of eating at the Rose and Crown Pub. I've read a lot of reviews and they are very mixed. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated. Also, we (party of 6), were hoping to dine outside to watch Illuminations. Can you wait for an outside table? I have read in some reviews that they were not allowing people to wait for an outside table anymore. If you have waited in the past, about how long is the wait? I know that in the past we have waited for 30 minutes (with PS) at Le Celler for ANY table. What time would you make the PS for 6 people? I was thinking 7:45????

LOL, I happen to like the food at the R&C. I will say, however, that the bangers and mash threw me. I was expecting breakfast sausage. I did like it after the initial shock.

I have not had the bangers and mash there but have it all time in a pub up in Boston whenever I visit my sister. Love it!

I refuse to eat blood pudding though... :hurl:

Actually as of 6/04 the price is 18.99 plus tax, gratuity, dessert and beverage.

Thanks. I would think with the desert it will be back around what I had said. I wonder why the desert is separate? Or maybe I dreamt up the price. I do that now and again…
:lol:

Don't know why the drinks and desert are separate, but, that is the way I remember it being for the last 12 years. It is still a great price and the food is pretty darn good.

Hmmm, sounds like the stuff I ate at my grandmother's house, she was from Nova Scotia, Canada. Love mince pie, but, only with meat in the minced part.
The crap they sell in the store is not worth my time.

It's probably the same then. Leftovers from a mince and tattie dinner are used to make mince pie. Mince is made from hamburger meat, brown gravy (Bisto), onions, carrots and turnips.

My aunt used venison or hamburger, raisins, apples and a few other things.
Quite good, actually.

If you can find me one non Brit to validate the excellencey of British Cusine, I'm all ears.

American cuisine is really a hodge podge of different countries and combinations. Burgers and fries mainly are a thing of the by-gone era that is associated with America. Not to say they don't eat them nowadays, much to the contrary. Just that we didn't invent the hamburger or the fries.

Next time I'm in Manhatten, I'll be on the lookout for the English restuarants among the sea of Italian, Mexican & Asian restuarants.

Don't get me wrong, I love you Brits (have them as neighbors on each side of me) & you disdain the French as much as I do. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I loved the food in England and Wales. Just like anyplace, you have to pick and choose what you like. I loved Shepherds Pie, the Ploughmans, SCONES and clotted cream, cucumber sandwiches. My parents lived in Cheltnam (sp?) for a year. I loved visiting.

My dad is a big fan of those, he usually has them when my mum, sister and I have Chilli for dinner (cos he doesn't eat it). I still haven't figured out why they look uniquely disgusting yet appealing at the same time, Nor what they are made from :lol:

Oh, and where the name came from

Generally speaking, faggots are like donner kebab meat. The less you know the better

But do you speak english?

as a meal is a new one on me...
I thought it was bad when I stopped off at the Bung Hole Pub during a London visit...I could go on, but it's beyond our American comprehension.

I couldn't agree more, however I love doner kebabs (Well I am a student after all!) Never *touches wood* had one that has made me ill in any way

When I was 14 we went to England and walked past a bakery and got such a kick out of what was in the window we took a picture. They were "Farmhouse Faggots". Still have no clue what they are.

I brought that up in the word association thread

For those who have not heard of this particular dessert, it is called "Spotted shortened version of Richard which the auto censor will not allow". It is eaten hot with custard.
