Rose and Crown, Sherborne

A lovely location- shame about the pub. We had (or tried to have) a family lunch there. Granted, more of us showed up than had planned-but it was truly atrocious. It took over an hour before the first dish arrived, and 2 hours to get all our orders out. The quality of what was served was appalling. the steaks were so tough that we couldn't get a fork into them, the stuffed peppers were halved peppers smeared with raw vegetables, and then had white sauce & cheese poured into them (don't try this at home, it's really not very nice!) the rice was overcooked, the chicken tasted of salmon, the beer was flat, even the ploughmans was 3 chunks of cheddar and a baguette. On the plus side- they did organise a cake for us, and the garden is lovely. but you'd be better off bringing a picnic if you don't want to leave hungry...
