| Not quite sure where this pub�s reputation comes from. I walked out of my way to try this establishment because of its self-proclaimed �good beer� and �good-food�. To start with the beer that I ordered � I think it was Gem � was drinkable but was not as fresh as other pubs I�ve visited in the vicinity. It was Monday night and �5 a-meal-night: a selection of bog-standard pub-food meals. For five pounds you don�t expect a banquet, however what you do not expect is to be presented with scampi that you could practice with at the driving range. They were so over-cooked you have to wonder what the chef was thinking to serve them as edible. Had I been asked I would have quietly expressed my displeasure. I was not so I�m expressing it here. Though I base my opinion on only one visit I am able to distinguish fresh beer and I can spot terribly cooked meals and as a result it will be a long time until I offer my custom again. 90Rich90 - 6 Nov 2012 17:40 |
| The Rose has changed it up recently, the food has got *much* better. I went there last week for a Sunday lunch and it was one of the best I've ever had. Roast lamb with garlic, I was lucky to get the crunchy well-done bits, with varied veg, all distinctly seasoned. I could have eaten a plate of the creamed leeks on their own. Absolutely fantastic grub. marsbard - 28 Aug 2012 09:55 |
| Despite it�s somewhat busy location right opposite the exit of the Cumberland Basin flyover, this is a pleasant establishment that has the air of a traditional country pub about it with it�s rustic interior, wood panelled bar and candles on all the tables and window sills creating a cosy ambience. It consists of a single L-shape bar with rough wooden boards on the floor, chunky wooden tables and a mixture of rough salmon coloured plasterwork and exposed brickwork on the walls. At one end is a large brick chimney breast, and this had a very inviting looking log fire blazing away with a few old leather sofa�s in front of it. Unsurprisingly, this was a prized spot on a freezing February evening. Next to this was a TV up in the corner, but the sound was down low and this didn�t dominate. Apparently there is live music on Thursday�s. The food menu appeared to be a basic �pub grub� affair, with dishes such as Ham, Egg & Chips, Burgers and Ploughman�s. The menu also listed a selection of snacks such as Picked Eggs and Scratchings! Most of the mains were around the �8 - �10 mark. A specials board offered a few more choices such as Chilli and Cod & Chips. There was also a separate restaurant downstairs, although whether this offered the same menu, I�m not sure. Beers on tap were Brain�s SA, 6X and Gem all dispensed from barrels racked up behind the bar. A hand-pump also offered Doom Bar, although this appeared to have run out on our visit. Ciders were Blackthorn, Thatcher�s Traditional and a very pleasant Thatcher�s Gold. All in all, a great pub in a surprising location, and well worth a visit. Blackthorn - 13 Feb 2012 20:42 |
| In an area rich in good pubs, this is another one well worth a visit. Stripped down, fairly basic decor, good beer. Not being a fan of loud music, that would be my main reservation about this place - but it's a decent boozer, worth dropping in if you're in the vicinity. earlydrinker - 2 Oct 2011 18:41 |
