"I had the burger which was amazing probably one of the best I've had."
"Amazing we had a beautiful meal beef brisket you have to try it!!"
"The food was of the highest standard, staff were excellent - very friendly but totally professional."
Cons:
"Either the chef has gone or they've got greedy - Booked for today to treat my mother to lunch - whoah - the menu has changed to a standard pub type menu - but with ott prices!"
"Main course: Potato & Veg great. Lamb was atrocious."
"We went 2 week's running, the first week, the food was fantastic. The 2nd, nowhere close."
"Prices gone up dramatically, but quality has diminished substantially."
"Had the lamb roast dinner today and both my friend and I were very disappointed. The lamb was under cooked and difficult to chew, frozen vegetables, instant mash and tasteless gravy."
"The steak and ale pie, the sauce inside had a weird taste - vingeary flavour, no ale though, so he didn't finish it."
"Starter of salmon and dill fishcakes were lovely, unfortunately I had the lasagne for my main and had to send it back there was a lack of beef for sure lots of sauce and cheese made for a sloppy meal with only cheesey taste."
"The portion sizes are very small my lasagne was less than a started portion we would get at verdes so we won’t be going again."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"The staff are very friendly and helpful, always taking the time to chat, give advice on the daily specials."

"The friendly and efficient staff helped to make our visit a very enjoyable Wedding Anniversary celebration evening."
"The staff are brillant and cant do enough for you. Tom and Craig the owners are so approachable and accommodating."
Cons:
"Waitresses walk round like zombies. Made eye contact with all 3 of them and not one asked or approached us."
"Service was very slow, and took ages to attract attention of waitress to ask for dessert menu."
"This place is run well, and the food/drinks tasted great, but the prices are overly expensive, for is basically 'pub grub'."
"After 2hrs you are asked for your table back for other guest.. Not got a problem with that but this should be pointed out at time of booking."
"Just walked in with a party of seven on a Thursday afternoon not long after opening. Didn’t even attempt to seat us, offer a waiting time or split seating. Instead just lazily opting to fob us off."
"Had to 3star because of the parking. Very disappointed with the disabled parking there were only two spaces which aren't large enough."
"So right now I am sitting outside this pub. I am a 20 year old woman who has gone out with my work for a work night out. I have been told I cannot have any alcohol as I am drunk which I am not."
"Don't get me wrong food is amazing but our 2nd visit was spoilt due to lack of dish description. Husband suffers with bad migraines wine being one of the triggers he got the braised beef which after ringing up due to husband getting a migraine I found out it is cooked in red wine made him sick too."

"A friend and I visited the Rose and Crown, Eccleston last night as our first venture out since lockdown began. We found that the owners had gone above and beyond to make their premises safe yet as welcoming as before the lockdown."
"Waitresses walk round like zombies. Made eye contact with all 3 of them and not one asked or approached us."
"Just been for a drink but the smell of the food and seeing it go past we just had to eat there again. Food is fantastic our son in law is working his way through the menu."
