Rose & Castle

Restaurant Pub

🫤 Really disappointed. Been there for a few team lunches in the past and was reasonable, but a visit in 06/2022 will likely be the last time. Very expensive menu for fairly small portion. Opted for cheese and bacon burger, but in all honesty would have had a better burger from a fast food van. People often mention table, friendly, staff, menu, nice, service, good, recommend, meal, great,

    Excellent food. Had pate to start - warm bread and all homemade was delicious. Prime Sirloin for main - chips were truly a thing of beauty! Crisp and fluffy. Steak tender, peppercorn sauce generous and delicious. Highly recommended. Decent pint too - doombar and tribute on tap.

    We were greeted warmly and shown to our table. We ordered the soup and black pudding starter and the lasagne and pie for mains. The food was served promptly and piping hot, freshly cooked. The food was delicious and I would definitely recommend a meal here.

    Lunch before work and today im a a pub in a village called Ansty just on the outskirts of Coventry off Junction 2 M6. 30 degrees and another hot day makes it perfect. Inside its quite low down and if your above 5ft 8in you best start ducking for cover 🤣 COVID 19 procedures were in operation. The menu is very varied and offers a decent selection to choose from. I've gone for the below today: Main - Stilton chicken I love a bit of 🧀 me. Chicken breaks with Stilton, bacon and chunky chips. Fat chunky chips which were well cooked inside out. The chicken though nice was overpowered by the Stilton and had a very rich creamy texture to it. It was fine but I would not go for this again as it was a bit underwhelming. Portion sizes here are on the smaller side when weighed up against the prices on the menu. I was going to have dessert but waited 15 minutes after I had finished and nothing was given to me despite asking for it. Overall the pub is about average. Service was friendly but on the slow side (check back and a drink offer wouldn't have been a miss here) Also note that this pub is on a main road and as such you can hear some noise whilst inside. 6/10

    Really nice pub and restaurant, staff were really welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived. The menu was very extensive and a small nice selection of draft beer and larger. The meals size was amazing, more than enough to fill even the fattest of belly ! Lol. The only fault from our visit was that we ended up on a table literally at the bar, which wasn't over inviting when we had people stood around us waiting and drinking at the bar, but in fairness to the staff they did try to move people along so we didn't get crowded. Thank you ! Overall Highly recommend and well worth a visit and we will most definitely be eating and drinking here again.

    Stopped on the Oxford canal near the Rose & Castle, Ansty. Went for a beer and some food, we hadn't booked but they did manage to give us a table. A very extensive menu, you can even get a carry out dessert........... The food was very, very good, 5 stars. Staff attentive but not overly. We will stop on our way back but will book a table. Lovely place to stop and feed n water........

    Went there for a works Christmas dinner. We were the only ones there and the heating wasn’t on so it seemed cold and a bit depressing and not at all Christmassy ( is that a real word?). Food was okay but nothing special. Lady serving was very attentive and helpful.

    Good quality Sunday meal together with a good table service. The big let down was there was no (or very little) heating on such a cold day. Otherwise a very appealing place.

  • 3/5 Debbie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff very friendly, really enjoyed the food, good sized portions (i had fish pie and vegetables and my partner had steak and stilton pie and chips). The only slight negative point was that our table for two was at the bar, as in against the main bar, awful position really, i kept telling my partner not to lean back through fear of him being elbowed or worse a drink poured down the back of him. It got very crowded around our table at one point, couldn't even hear our conversation, one member of staff did ask the crowd of gentlemen to take their seats to try and give us a little space, a little disappointed really... 😞

    Lovely meal with friends excellent service congratulations to the young guy he was working front of house at least 6 tables occupied on his own taking orders for food and drinks answering the telephone as well as taking the cash and keeping the customers happy not an easy task by any means

    Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We went for a celebratory meal and they made us feel special. Food was good with large portions.

    We found this pub while boating through Ansty, and it is a great place to stop for a meal. We had a warm welcome, the menu is extensive and reasonably priced. The service and food were good. And - they had Theakstons 'Old Peculier' on draft which was an added bonus!

    Stopped in on a Monday Night for a bite with my family. We were passing on the canal and popped in. Lucky to get a table as it is very popular, it soon became obvious why. Food was absolutely delicious and the service was friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

    Had a beautiful meal at lunch time. We had the stake and mushroom pie. The pufg pastry way light and airy and the filling filled the bowl and was amazing. Very hot and a great portion size. Quick service. Will put it on my list of places to eat.
