Since I live in the area, I have been a semi-regular customer other Rose and Crown at Ivanhoe for many years. However, of late – and particularly on a Sunday lunch time– I have encountered a rather unprofessional and unsavoury practice that surely is guaranteed to put a customer’s back up. Although the menu clearly states what food is available, when one come s to order a Chicken Caesar salad for example, I was told that “chicken is reserved for those who have pre-booked” (and there is no sort of disclaimer on the menu . The reasoning appears to be that it is not that that particular dish is unavailable despite being on the menu, but rather a key ingredient is reserved for someone who has pre-booked a table, and therefore may or may not actually turn up, or indeed may or may not order a dish with chicken in it. I have never encountered such ridiculous policy before, which seems to treat its customer with utter contempt. I was not the only one to voice my displeasure, as when I later passed through the bar, I overheard a lady (who I suspect was from overseas, was seriously remonstrating with the bar staff over the same issue. However, a rather unattractive and older white haired woman – who I assume was a local resident and therefore got to the chicken first – seemed to find this all rather amusing. So my advice I don’t go there, as obviously you custom is only welcome in possible preference to others and when it suits the owners. Hospitality is obviously not the Rose and Crown’s real business, rather it is only taking your money.
Very small village pub with little parking. Menu was interesting, quirky and not very varied but how could i go wrong with Chicken milanese? I requested a half portion of pasta which was a good move. Sadly the big lump of breaded chicken on my plate bore no resemblance to the elegance of a normal milanese fillet, thin and breaded. This was a huge breast of overcooked chicken. The pasta was barely warm as was the sauce but overall they tasted ok. My husband’s fish curry was better, decently warm and averagely tasty…. Trying again we followed this up with a pavlova but had to request cream as apparently pavlova are made with ice cream? Who knew? The pavlova was heavy with overdone meringue and, i think, tinned fruit? Nothing fresh or light about this dessert!The staff were lovely and very friendly, its a shame the food was nowhere near as good as the service. Our little foray out to try somewhere different was not a huge success sadly
Sunday Lunch, with friends in a cosy little village pub, what could be better? well nothing. We were welcomed by the friendly staff and shown to our table. Service was great and the beef was fantastic. No room for puddings, we finished with coffee. PS I can recommend the draught Scrumpy.
Had an absolutely top notch Sunday Roast at The Rose and Crown today! It was only our second visit and first time for food, and it's safe to say we were VERY happy with both the food and the service. Great menu to choose from too : Will definitely be back soon!
