Rose Crown Inn - Stroud

I had made a reservation for a table for 6 people on Saturday, March 4th. I received a confirmation email when I booked and inquired about gluten-free options on the menu. However, when we arrived just before our reservation time, we found the restaurant dark and closed. After trying to call the number provided, the call was abruptly disconnected. Disappointed, we ended up going to Sainsbury's for curry instead. I was not impressed and would suggest avoiding this place if it ever reopens.

The restaurant has a cute exterior, but the interior is only okay. It was quite chilly inside, possibly because the heating was off and the staff seemed to ignore the issue. Many customers had to get up and find a server in order to be served or place an order. There were numerous mix-ups with orders, with some people even sending their beers back due to being too cloudy. The menu was nearly sold out, leaving only sausages and pasta dishes available. The truffle pasta dish was disappointing, as it was mainly pasta and peas with a small amount of cheese and cabbage on top, lacking the promised truffle. The bill also did not match up with what was actually ordered. Overall, it was a chaotic experience.

We visited this restaurant after a walk at Woodchester with our dog and 10-month-old. Despite being busy, they were able to accommodate us and needed our table back fairly quickly. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food was absolutely delicious. My partner enjoyed a tasty duck dish, while I had the fish and chips which was a generous portion but not overwhelming. We highly recommend this restaurant and hope to visit again in the future.

Had lunch today at the Rose and Crown, was greated by lovely friendly staff, very welcoming and showed us to the table. Fantastic starters and main. We had the steak, which my daughter loved. I had the pie, it was delicious. The staff were so kind and made us feel so welcomed. Would highly recommend this country pub and we will definitely go back to try more of the menu.

We ate in the bar are which was a nice cosy atmosphere although a little cold. Drinks selection was ok and service was very pleasant and friendly. The food was fantastic, the fish cake is to die for and the duck looked and tasted incredible. Will try to get back soon
