We've eaten here before, the food is wonderful, they have an amazing selection of wines. The pub was nicely busy for a Friday night. I would recommend the Rosendale wholeheartedly.

First off, the food was outstanding. Best roast dinner we've had in a long time. But extra points for being a kid-friendly pub. Loved the back garden built to accomodate the small people. We'll be back again for sure!

Great food, but the waiting staff seemed to forget about us. So placing our order took longer than I would've liked. Good selection of beers and spirits though! Jensens Old Tom was a welcome surprise.

Good atmosphere, food Ok overall, service not good. Had the tasty crab ravioli in bisque but had to sit with it in front of me while we waited a full 5 minutes for one of our party's starter, by which time we were eating cold ravioli. Shame.

Although food was OK, service was slow and noise levels were atrocious. You couldn't hear the person talking to you across the table. And that was before the music was played. Avoid if you want adult conversation.

All the staff are really young and sometimes need to remember that people can see them congregating and chatting whilst people are trying to get their attention. Food was hot, but veggies only barely cooked, and portion a bit unbalanced.

Excellent service and atmosphere. We had salmon and haddock fish pie with kale which was delicious. We would recommend the Rosendale for small or large groups.

Everything was fine. We ate well, the beer was excellent ( and there was a good choice of ales), and the staff were very pleasant and efficient, and the decor/layout spacious and comfortable. We'll definitely go back here when in this corner of SE London.

Thoroughly enjoyable family lunch. Food was delicious and service friendly. Only criticism is pre-seasoning of vegetables on childrfen's menu that my 7 year old granddaughter refused to touch although we did request her food to be plain.

linda d.7 years ago · 1 review

I ordered the ribs as I tend to order ribs when I eat in a restaurant and these were awful, I left almost the entire plate untouched and had a few chips which were quite good, hence the score of 1. The ribs were chewy and had an unpleasant texture. The sauce was nothing I'd ever had before, not pleasant. The wine was very good but very expensive. I will not visit The Rosendale again, very unpleasant experience.

Sunday Roast was the best I have ever had. I went for the pork. Service was friendly and very helpful although there were points when I felt we waiting too long. But I suspect this is because the restaurant was absolutely jam packed. So i cant really complain.

We felt that the Rosendale was a better restaurant than either the Abbeville or the Avalon. The service was charming and politely efficient. The food was good although we only had a burger each - however they were much better than most I have eaten. Sticky toffee pudding was very good too. Definitely come again (possibly with the dog too)!!

Very attentive service on a surprisingly busy Tuesday night. Tasty food, generous portions. Six very satisfied guests. Even sending a burger back to be cooked a little longer was no trouble; a brand new one arrived in no time with a complimentary glass of wine in the interim.

Staff were slow to acknowledge we were waiting even though we were standing in the doorway with two young children. It then took another 10 minutes to seat us. Once seated we were forgotten about and had to ask a waitress to be served. Food tasted great and was presented nicely but it would of been better if it was hot.

Staff were friendly. Food was good & good portion sizes but as it was Easter & there special was Lamb, me & my friend went for the lamb & found that it was cut too thick which made it quite tough so was a little disappointed with the lamb, However the flavour was beautiful. My Partner had the Pork & thought it was the best pork he's ever had! I ordered chicken Goujons for my toddler & they were really over cooked she just ate the chips & peas, I should have sent it back really as it was too tough. Sticky Toffee Pudding lovely as always. Apple Crumble quite watery. Service was good though. Nice Ambience.

The service was very good and staff friendly and welcoming. The,food was ok, but the restaurant itself needs to be be heated a little better at this time of year. It's too big a space for a good ambiance when it feels draughty and cold.
