The Rosendale

Great food, great service, friendly staff and a wonderful venue. Dinner on a Friday night, it was an ideal venue for somewhere comfortable, relaxed and welcoming.

The food was very average..staff friendly. The Rosendale doesn't seem to know what it is - a neighbourhood pub, a gastro pub, a restaurant - ends up falling between 3 stools.

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!

Great food and a nice atmosphere. A good selection of real ales, including some from local breweries.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Good food but we had a very bad table which spoiled our lunch. We were tucked away at the back of the room and it felt rather like a cafeteria.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

Perfect with family food and service great. Kids food is actually good and also they were given coloured nag book which kept the quiet so we could relax

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.

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.

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.

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!

Nice atmosphere and good service but the roast pork was annoyingly unavailable. Hopefully better luck next time. Screw Flanders. Screw Flanders. Screw Flanders. Screw Flanders.

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.

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.

I always enjoy this restaurant. It is quite loud, but it's child friendly, so be prepared to speak a bit more loudly with your fellow diners. We decided to go a bit later than normal and opted for 15:30 and found this past Sunday that it was still very busy. My only complaint, which was immediately rectified, was that drinks were added to our bill that weren't ours. The waitress corrected the situation, but it was still incorrect, so she fixed it again. My only comment would be on busy days to make sure you check your bill in case this sort of thing happens to you. The food has been consistently above average every time we have dined here!

Great lunch for five, slightly spoiled with stone cold expressos and an incorrect bill. Lovely food though on a depressingly wet, grey afternoon. Table at 3pm missed the main lunchtime rush.

The menu is simple yet balanced and varied, making it always easy to pick a winner to suit your taste and mood. Very pleasant ambiance too, with tall ceilings lending a feeling of space, yet with a social buzz creating warmth.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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

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!

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

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.
