The Rose & Crown Restaurant family pub and restaurant — Restaurant in Ontario

I ordered cod and chips (one piece) for 11.95 and was then asked if I wanted coleslaw for another $2. While I can get a meal elsewhere for around $10, this place charges 11.95 for the smallest of meal choices and then wants another $2 for coleslaw. This time of year you can buy a whole head of cabbage for $1 and we all know how many servings of coleslaw that would make. Lots!

Also, I ordered a cola and was served an 8-ounce glass with ice (no refills) and, when the bill came, I was charged $2.95. Now, that is what I call price gouging!!!

It will be quite a while until I return. I don't like ordering a meal and then being nickeled and dimed afterwards. For what I got the price was already a little over the edge.

Rose and Crown you may be a restaurant but we all know the first sign of financial difficulty is nickel and diming people after they have already paid for a meal. That's no way to build up business. It sure has...

We've lived in the area for several decades and I can't recall a previous visit to the Rose & Crown Restaurant. However, accompanied with our two grandsons and looking for something different, we ended up having a pleasant lunch at the Rose & Crown.

The grandsons then enjoyed a dish of chocolate ice cream, grandma a coffee and me a pint of Hobgoblin.

Our dishes were tasty despite a common colour of light brown. A few colourful veggies would improve the presentation. However, there was no complaint over the $50 total and a $10 tip for good service.

For a small pub, I was impressed with the number of beers on tap. There must have been around a dozen taps although only one craft beer. I look forward to returning and checking out the...

I ordered the halibut and chips it was either not even a halibut or severely undercooked as anybody knows that has ever had halibut the meat is always white as snow this was more of the color of salmon so I’m not sure what it was or severely under cooked, the french fries could’ve used another minute or so soggy far from crispy, my wife had crabcakes just OK I don’t know if they make them in the house or buy them already made nothing to write home about, we ordered gravy on the side tasted more like canned gravy then homemade and you don’t gets coleslaw with the order, maybe you pay separately for that, definitely will not go back if that was the best they could do. I was very disappointed from the reviews I read, I thought I was going to get an...
