Rose and Crown

[SweetMagic]

Well, the Dining forum is a little slow today, so I thought I'd ask a question.

For those of you who have eaten dinner at the Rose and Crown... what have you tried, and what would you recommend to try or avoid? I haven't eaten here yet, and will be very soon. Not sure what I want, looking at the menu :shrug:

The only thing I could get our teenagers to eat from that menu was the fish and chips. Since my husband and I are not particularly adventurous, either (the kids come by it naturally), we ordered the same. :ROFLOL:

Now, mind you, this was a few years ago, and things may have changed, but we found the food overpriced and kind of underwhelming. Still, it was a fun place to eat, and we were glad we went.

OMG Where do I start :slurp: :lol:

Ok, I know exactly where I'd start :lookaroun

Potato and leek soup :slurp:
Fruit and cheese plate :slurp:

My favorite entree isn't on the menu anymore (apparently) it was the chicken pasty.
Fish and chips are always good though :slurp:

And DO NOT MISS THE STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING! :slurp: :slurp:

:lookaroun

I'm figuring I won't be blown away by the food at this restaurant, but I want to eat everywhere at least once, so it's time for R&C. I'm thinking I'll try something besides the fish and chips, but I just don't know what yet :lol:

I grew up on the Lamb and Barley soup. It was the best, but it's only on the Lunch menu.

Last time I had there I had the Bangers (sausage) and mash. It was very tasty!

The fruit and cheese plate is really great. They have these fabulous green peas, too, that you can get as a side dish. Tom always gets the bangers and mash and I make fun of him. :lookaroun:lol: I get the fish & chips but only if I can share because it seems greasier than what they serve in Columbia Harbor House. Also I get a 1/2 & 1/2 to drink and he always gets Bass Ale.

Is the sausage anything special? I don't mean to sound flippant, I seriously want to know if it's something I haven't had before

Me thinks the fruit and cheese plate is a 'must get' along with potato soup :slurp:

I just asked Tom about his favorite dish - he said anyone who likes sausage, gravy and mashed potatoes will love this. He's being a man of few words right now because he is watching an Angelina Jolie movie....

:lol:

For appetizers, I recommend the smoked salmon or the roasted mushrooms. For an entree I would have said the Guiness Stew but they no longer offer it. Bangers is always good but so is the Tea Time Chicken. Personally, I always like the Steak and Fish but that's me (since I can't have the stew).

 

[GoofyMom2]

Another vote for the fruit and cheese plate!

I had the steak and fish and it was all very good. DH was boring and just got the fish and chips :lol:

I was actually surprised at how good the steak was, not Le Cellier fare, but very good and tender. Service was tops as well :wave:

 

[Tiggerfanatic]

DD & I split the steak & fish - both were very good. Count me in on the fuit & cheese plate, too, and definitely do not miss the sticky toffee pudding - I would go back and just eat 3 orders of that if I thought I could get away with it!!

I loved the Shepard's Pie, but I don't think it's onthe menu any more. DH did like the Guiness stew and DS got fish and chips. We had a very nice time there and would absolutely go back.

 

[MouseMadness]

I forgot about the Guinness stew :slurp: My kids loved that as well.

Really, I have no had any "bad" food there that I can remember. :shrug:

I grew up on the Lamb and Barley soup. It was the best, but it's only on the Lunch menu.

I used to love that as well, but unfortunately it is removed entirely from the menu as are about 1/3 of the offerings from a year ago.

Usually have Shepherds Pie which is a satisfying lunch. They used to have a hunters stew that was also very good....that one is gone as well...

 

[SweetMagic]

Thanks so much for all the suggestions everyone :wave:

It all sounds really good, that's what I get for checking this thread before making dinner!

I wonder why they took so many things, that were obviously well liked, off of the menu? Hmmm.

In the last six months or so, most Epcot, and many WDW restaurants have significantly reduced the menu items, some by nearly half.
You can get menu's here at WDWMagic, or check on Deb's site to find out what is currently being served:

I miss the Sherry Trifle! We used to get it all the time when we went in the 80s and 90s.

 

[SweetMagic]

I use Deb's site for my menus like a Bible :lol: but I never realized so many dishes had been removed. It's funny because I really could have sworn the R&C had Shepard's Pie, but when I finally went to book it, it wasn't there, so I figured I was mistaken... good to know I'm not losing my mind and all, but sad to see the menus shrinking
