Rose and Crown — Restaurant in Palmerston North

A fairly disappointing experience

Dined on a Monday night

We ordered garlic bread to share, generous serving, but almost no garlic taste at all - suggest ordering a side of the garlic butter to go with it if you do

Thai beef salad did not list mushroom, and when an allergy was mentioned the staff basically put the responsibility on the customer, when it was not listed on the menu, it was also so hot it was practically inedible 'the worst Thai beef salad I ever had in my life' coming from someone who orders this dish often.

Fisherman's basket, fish did not smell fresh and the overall experience was not great, chips did not look or taste fresh.

Scotch fillet, the steak was cooked well, the salad was full of capisum, onions and radish, not to my taste. The garlic sauce was more like a lumpy white sauce, not at all appealing, the stuffed potato was only stuffed with capisum and far too much cheese. Ordered a side of garlic butter to make up for the sauce and this came direct from the fridge and was near impossible to cut even with a steak knife.

Didn't get much of a feeling the staff wanted to be there.

Supposedly the meals here are normally nice, but today's experience was subpar and I will personally not...

A quaint pub. From the outside it looks inviting and just like a classic english pub. So I had to give it a try. Not so good stuff first. I would say it needs a really good clean and some new chairs as they were very wobbly on the backs. I didn't lean back in case it broke. You get a massive waft of gas as you walk in. The staff didn't look very happy or inviting...maybe just a bad day. The fireplaces make it feel cozy as does the dimmed lights. The food is self service and you pay at the bar. We ordered battered mussels as a starter ($9.60) and they were really good. We also ordered the lunch lamb burger and chicken and bacon sandwich ($18 each). These were both lovely and just the right amount. They have cozy couches around the fireplaces and some to the side. One side has bar leaners and sports playing on the tvs, and the other side is more for meals and...
