The Rosendale

It was a great opportunity for friends to finally get together and lunch! Fabulous company, great service and lovely, lovely food! We hope to lunch on a more regular basis after a very relaxed afternoon.

Lovely food, nice service. Only minor ing, we were squashed onto a small table (5 of us) and asked if we could move to the roomier table next to us. We were told, sorry no, it was booked, when actually it was empty two hours later when we left.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. We have being served quick and the food was fresh and delisious. Will definitely go there again soon! Great family dinner place!

Great lunch at the Rosendale - we were well looked after and the roast chicken was perfect for a wintry Sunday. We'll be dining there again.

Food was good, although table wasn't ready in time for reservation and got charged ect for items that said they came with the meal in the menu. Also dislike service charge is added on automatically, however you can ask for it to be removed.

It was a really good meal and great service. Slightly annoying that the gardens were closed as we had 6 children with us and chose the pub because of the garden!

Great service, lovely food and a very handsome pub! Pizzas are delicious as are their roasts. They also have a new outside area which looks nice and we plan to go there again when the weather improves. They welcome well behaved kids and made space for our two buggies which was very helpful.

Rosendale is a lovely pub, staff great but limited menu from 4pm which we were not told about when we booked also there was a wedding on & this made it very noisy, busy & not very chilled - if we had known about limited menu/wedding we wouldn't have booked.

Slow inattentive staff, food average not worth the price compared to other S.E pubs. Rude staff. Arrived 5 mins early to reservation, after saying I had a table booked to who appeared to be the manager. He looked at the computer and said " yeah in 5 minutes" turned his back and walked off.

Had Sunday lunch for the first time. Two of us ordered the beef which unfortunately was just raw thin strips of beef. Not a proper peice of Meat for Sunday roast so wont be ordering that again. Also is was soooo noisy and bright with a thousand children running around so not too relaxing. On the plus side the pork with the Sunday roast was amazing.

The food was very good indeed, however we found the service to be slow and waiting staff seemed less than enthusiastic.. Acoustics not good in top part of restaurant. Very loud.

The Rosendale consistently delivers great food and great quality in a great atmosphere!

Have visited for many years but food a little disappointing tonight. Restaurant would also benefit from a roaring fire as it can be rather cold!

Amazing as always! We love going to The Rosendale, it's a fantastic pub with great food and great drinks, we'll be returning that's for sure!

Wonderful, comforting food that makes for outstanding pub grub, and excellent service from a really friendly staff, as always. So glad that this is my local!

This is a great pub - with attentive and efficent staff and great food. My one winge is that there wasnt enough beef with the beef roast

Exceeded my expectations once again. Great food and lovely wait staff and it is very much geared towards kids. So great to find a pub that offers great good, great service and is child-friendly. Thanks!

A party of six enjoyed the overall experience of the Rosendale with a great Sunday lunch,we six thought the table arrangements were too close for comfort and felt more like sardines packed in rather than worthy diners with a little elbow room.We are pondering. K

Although the main meal was really nice the service was awful, mains forgotten, chasing up drinks orders after half an hour and although we were wanting dessert no one came to take our order. Also a 3 year old kids birthday party was in there at Sunday lunch time with a punch and duty show and kids were screaming so you couldn't even talk after lunch. Nothing against the kids just not really appropriate to have a 3 year old birthday party with Punch and Judy and loud music in the centre of the pub, if there was a private room then that's fine.

Great food, nice service and good for kids but they were very busy on a Saturday lunchtime and once our mains had arrived we were pretty much abandoned... Gave up on pudding and just tried to flag someone down for the bill! Would try again but hope it's less busy or they have more staff...

The food is always great that can not be faulted but on the last three occasions that we have been there the service in the kitchen has not been great. This time round we waited 45min for our starter, both of which was not something that required cooking so very confused why it took so long, then the main came out 5-10min straight after the starter, I'm not sure about everyone else but I prefer a little wait between course. To top it all off we were seated in front of a table of kids which kept going in and out and bumping into my table and back of the chair. Overall good was great but total experience was not.

Second time here for Sunday roast, and this time we brought friends. The roast is very good - both meat and the veg. We tucked in for the afternoon/early evening and had a great time. The staff were generally friendly and service was prompt and efficient. Will definitely return.

Good food and service, they are always happy to help with any queries and accommodate children happily. Overall a family friendly place with reliable food and service.

The food was great, tasty and well presented. The atmosphere was also good however the service was slow and the staff weren't overly attentive to us.

Great service. Quick. Attentive. Good selection of food for us and our 2 year old. Lovely garden and atmosphere. A great find would recommend it

The Rosedale is a great place to eat with good food for a reasonable price. Service is very good and there is a decent wine list. if the weather is good, you can get a table outside and you can even bring your dog to the bar area!

Could of done with more gravy without having to buy extra.

Great fresh food, good service, but disappointed with the kids fairly cake- gradually get smaller and tastless - it doesn't look and taste special anymore, comparing to few months ago! Did complain to the kitchen, so hope it change for better!

Good food, excellent ale / wines and a very helpful and friendly staff. A very enjoyable evening and would certainly recommend this venue to all

Speedy, polite and good service and very good meal - thank you. Lived up to expectations and recommendations, and reasonably priced. (And substantial portions!!). happy to commend

I regularly eat here but last night was really disappointing. I think they were over stretched due to a wedding and a full restaurant. Food quality and service were both poor.

Perfect antidote to a hot Friday. Lovely family meal with allergies carefully catered for. Delicious pizza and son had double pudding! We will be back!

Food good - waitress rather down in the dumps. We've been here a few times and it's very local for us. It gets pretty busy on Sunday lunchtimes but if you don't have kids and want a bit of quiet it's best to book after 1 when the families thin out.

Our first experience of the Rosendale and it won't be our last. The Sunday roast was the best ever, apart from the wife's of course!

Great food, our goats cheese mousse was fab and then we enjoyed hake and trout for lunch. Unfortunately the service was both slow and disinterested which stopped a top score.

Lovely lunch - we had the Sunday Roasts which were delicious and came in generous portions. Staff were very friendly, we moved outside for drinks after lunch and they were very accommodating of us moving tables. Will definitely go again.

Food not up to scratch, but felt with problem very well.

A very limited vegetarian choice and 60 dead butterflies framed on the wall. Why? Could have wider options. The waitress however was friendly and efficient.

Generally good food and atmosphere but children's food came at least 10mins before adults food and a burger ordered medium came very well done.

Excellent food, quick service and friendly staff. Will definitely be going again.

Great food, very fresh and delicious! The service was spot on- very polite waitress we had, which serve us quick and professional! My little girl enjoyed some drawings and a fary cake for desert! Will definitely go for dinner again!

Great local pub with good food and good ambiance! Good selection of beers!

We last visited the Rosendale two weeks earlier and came back with a larger party. Booked table and high-chair in advance which was wise for a busy Sunday lunchtime. Delicious Roast Chicken - gargantuan portions, Roast Beef and the famous burger were preceded by a lovely sharing platter of flat breads and tasty dips. Happy, helpful staff and a great cheerful chattery buzz in main dining room. Other tables filled with family groups of all generations. Highly recommended.

Our food was very late and no-one came to apologise before it eventually turned up. Lacklustre gravy. Potatoes were good though!

Great location. Brilliant service and good food. Always good for steak and the best cheesecake I've ever had!! Love the venue which is great for both summer and winter

Hour to get lunch with kids never fun I'm afraid

Very enjoyable, relaxed Sunday lunch. Traditional roasts washed down with English Mimosa cocktails - even perfect summer weather (how did they manage that?). Garden packed with groups of families and friends all with the obligatory rugrat. Fantastic play area to amuse them. Will be back...

Great food and wonderful service, as always. We love it here!

Great as always! Had quite a large table and some people were delayed by 25 minutes- not a problem and we were all able to order and eat on time.

Sunday lunch booking and it was was very good service and food.
