The Rose and Crown, Greenwich

I recently made two visits to the Rose and Crown, in late November. One in the evening and once during a lunch time session. The Rose and Crown Is a Cosy, traditional style Pub, with a “gay” or “gay friendly” Clientele and staff team.
Sunday 24th Nov. Evening. Quiet, relaxed and what appeared a regular clientele base. Couples and small groups, mainly bottled wine drinkers, sedate and comfortable but lacking any real atmosphere. Bar staff on shift this evening, somewhat unengaging with customers, appeared to be pre occupied with messaging or viewing something on his smart phone.
Tue 26th Nov. Lunch time. Very quiet, just few other Clients, less than half a dozen. Roast beef Lunch. Well presented, very reasonably priced. Beef Luke warm, Potatoes scalding hot, vegetables cold. Bar staff appeared aloof to the point of unfriendly. Didn’t acknowledge our complements, thank you or good bye. Possibly, this pub is only suitable for its regular clients, as we were made to feel like intruders rather than welcome customers. On the whole, disappointing
