Service was great and really liked the pub. Think the roast could be improved with the addition of cauliflower cheese or atleast the option of it as a side dish!

Excellent meal and good service despite a full restaurant! The lamb and pork were delicious and the chocolate cake excellent! Kids enjoyed playing outside too. Loved the Yorkshires. We were here a year ago for an Easter day family lunch -looks like this will become a tradition!

Good pub grub and a happy time for our kids in the play garden. No table ordering in the garden but they bring the food to the tables.

Great place, good service, food tasty and price affordable. I recommand the Rosendale gastropub in West Dulwich. Only missing point : a great belgium beer as we are Belgian. I took a special morrocan pie for labour day and it was delicious. The same for their pizzas and their famous Rosendale burger with real chips.

The restaurant was extremely busy as you would expect for Sunday lunch. We booked a table for 4 adults and 2 kids. We found there are too many tables and not enough space between them. It was very difficult for some of my group to sit comfortably and felt cramped. However when we asked to move table the Staff were very accommodating and moved us as quickly as they could. The food arrived promptly and was excellent, really tasty. However the waiting service was a little slow and disorganised. I would recommend eating at the Rosendale despite these minor hiccups as it is difficult to get a Sunday roast of this quality locally.

A fantastic Sunday lunch. Great food and extremely efficient service considering how busy it was. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The pork belly roast, sticky toffee pudding and flourless chocolate cake were all excellent. The kids roast dinner for £5 are brilliant value for money.

It was much more quieter than the last time I had been in several weeks before. However, this does not detract from lovely relaxed surroundings and as usual, the food was excellent. Always nice to have these factors when re-introducing a friend back to a different Rosendale than the one she experienced 12 years ago. She was very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed her meal!

Overall an enjoyable evening despite some poor service and variable food. My partner's starter of crayfish and mackerel was pretty average (she left most of it, and it didn't look very appetising), while my leek and potato soup was too salty. However, our mains more than made up for it. My partner's ribeye steak was cooked to perfection and very tasty. I had the chicken pie with mash (one of the specials), which was delicious and very filling. We also had some sides: the green salad was so-so (how can dressing taste so bland?) but the mixed vegetables were beautifully tender, and the chips were great. The kids' food was of a decent standard, particularly my son's burger, which he wolfed down (my daughter had the pizza). Portions were generous and we didn't have room for dessert. Unfortunately, the service wasn't always up to scratch TBH. One of the waitresses couldn't have been more helpful (actually without her the meal could have been a disaster) but the others just didn't seem interested (sorry, but that's the truth). I've been a waiter myself and I know it's not fun, but this could have spoilt our evening and that would have been a shame, especially as we were there to celebrate a birthday. The only other negative was my glass of Chilean sauvignon blanc, which I left half finished. They've got a really well-stocked bar, and it's not cheap, so there's no excuse to be serving such poor-quality wine. Would we return? Definitely, it's a beautiful venue and the food is good value (mostly). However, I hope the service, wine and starters are better next time.
