Used the small room for a family 70th birthday. Dropped balloons in before the day and the team decorated the area for us. They were super attentive and provided great service. We had the buffet for 25 people, the fish goujons, beef pies and sausage rolls were exceptional. A great day was had by all

Came in today for a late lunch. Food was great but felt rushed even though restaurant was empty. Waitress was pleasant but when it come to asking for the bill at the end she said “can you wait 2 minutes or do you need it now as was going to go out for a cigarette?” I couldn’t quite believe that she said that to us. We didn’t know what to say apart from ok. While eating also we noticed that the staff who were on breaks rolling up their cigarettes. It’s just not acceptable. Also we brought our dog along as it says the pub is dog friendly but didn’t feel that way when what looked like the manager was judging because she barked once. It didn’t make us feel welcome. Don’t advertise a pub as welcoming dogs then treat people this way.

Extremely disappointed. After a difficult day we booked a table for dinner at 20.40. Booking confirmed. On arrival we found the restaurant staff eating. They told us the kitchen had closed at 19.30. They checked and found our booking but said there was nothing they could do. Apologised but did not offer any compensation, even a drink. It was too late to go anywhere else. Will not go again.

Very disappointed. Booked table for 5 for mums 81st birthday. Waited to be seated. No greeting let alone smile & told where we couldn’t sit with puppy rather than where our reserved table was. Ordered 5 meals, received 4, staff not checking headcount to plates brought to table. When queried told we would have to wait for it to be cooked & paid for! No apology, no gesture of goodwill, no concern that 5th person would eat alone. 4 ate & we left. Not going back any time soon ……

We stopped in for dinner on the advice of a local while over from Australia. They fit us in despite it being a busy night. There were a few delays with the food but I can't fault the staff, they were amazing, kept us informed, looked after us and when the food came it was worth the slight delay. Great food and made all the better by the people working there. I wish we had obtained the name of the lady running the dining area as she was so accommodating and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Credit to the business. Would definitely visit again.

I have been attending this establishment for more than two decades. My initial visits began when I was employed nearby, and ever since, whenever I find myself in the vicinity, I eagerly anticipate stopping by or inviting a few companions along. The culinary experience consistently impresses me. The affordability of the dishes is never compromised, and the taste is always delightful. Throughout the entirety of my over 20-year patronage, I have never found a reason to voice any concerns or complaints regarding the quality of the food or the service. I would like to extend my utmost appreciation and admiration to the exceptional staff members, Joyce and Iyla. They have undoubtedly played an instrumental role in making my visits memorable and enjoyable.

Some of the staff unsure about menu- asking me if the 3 course menu was on today, ?I thought I was the customer lol. Punched the wrong thing, had to be refunded then pay again. Then when the waitress came to serve the food had asked “Have you already found the cutleries on the side (of the restaurant)?” as if we should already know where it is and that we are expected to get it for ourselves when no one really told us. Carrots are withered, broccolli tasted pfftt and blueberry compote on waffle tasted like Calpol.

I had booked birthday party for 16 people on 28 November and visited two times prior to sort out seating arrangements. the first time the manager on duty was offhand and not helpful. The second time a different manager who was very helpful .On the night of the booking i arrived early only to find that the room had not been prepared an the manager on duty was the same as the first meeting. We had to arrange the seating arrangement ourselves with no assistance from any of the staff. At bill paying I brought the fact of the poor presentation to the manger whose attitude was so nonchalant and dismissive with the comment to the effect it was OK as you orgainsed it yourselves a response, ( A risk assessment not undertaken ) I suggest, was not appropriate and given my experience with him earlier makes me think he is not suitable for a hospitality career or needs more basic training. I very nearly did not tip but that affects the staff who did the work

Estaba planeando una cena con mi amiga que recientemente había tenido un bebé y necesitaba comer caliente y ponerse al día después de ir al museo. También me recomendó un miembro de la familia (mi hermana) cenar en "The Alleyns Head". Así que ambos estábamos ansiosos por comer. Ambos tuvimos hijos menores de tres años y mi amiga la tuvo recientemente. No nos recibieron de inmediato y los niños estaban emocionados. Logramos asentar a los niños. Cuando el gerente del pub se acercó a nosotros y de repente le dijo al hijo de mi amigo que se sentara y exigió que lo tuviéramos sentado cuando estaba claramente asentado y de pie junto a nosotros y estábamos esperando ser vistos para ser honestos. Mi amiga y yo estábamos muy sorprendidos por su respuesta a su hijo, pero nunca dijimos nada. Luego dijo abruptamente, ¿ha reservado un asiento a lo que respondimos "no". Luego se alejó con paso firme y regresó 1 minuto después y dijo que no habría asiento hasta las 7:15 pm. Le pregunté a mi amigo qué hora es ahora. , a lo que ella respondió 6:30 pm. Me di cuenta de que había una zona para sentarse disponible y mi amigo también. Ella dijo: "Vámonos, Chel, para empezar, no nos querían aquí. ”Así que nos fuimos porque el ambiente y la recepción que recibimos por parte del gerente no fueron muy acogedores y no complacientes considerando que teníamos tres niños menores de 3 años. Mi amiga se sintió muy aislada por la experiencia en Alleyns Head, ya que había estado estresada porque el bebé estaba un poco inquieto y apenas logró calmar a su bebé de 9 semanas y estaba ansiosa por ponernos al día.Ella cuando llegamos al pub y tenía muchas ganas de sentarse ya que no había comido mucho en todo el día y estaba decepcionada y muy desinflada, tuve que convencerla de que el problema era el gerente y no nosotros y cómo fue desconsiderado y no volveré al pub para comer o beber mientras él esté allí. No es así como los gerentes deberían tratar a sus clientes en ninguna circunstancia, y mucho menos a dos mujeres con dos hijos y un bebé.

El servicio fue lento y la señora, que debe ser gerente, se quedó parada sin hacer mucho, pero cuando dijimos puede servirnos, tenemos una actitud que dice que sí, que voy. La comida para adultos era horrible normalmente. Cuando pides un sándwich de club, está ligeramente tostado, incluso si es pan o chapata, aparentemente debes pedir que esté ligeramente tostado, este lugar está bajando enormemente

Le recomendé este restaurante a mis amigos que estaban visitando Londres. Reservamos una mesa para el almuerzo del domingo ya que había estado allí muchas veces antes y pensé que estaba bien. Lamentablemente, nuestra experiencia de ayer ha cambiado de opinión. La comida principal era muy, muy pobre, la carne no estaba tan mal, pero las verduras y, en particular, las papas eran absolutamente repugnantes. ¡Quien los ponga en un plato debería avergonzarse de sí mismo! En mi opinión, las verduras se cocinaron el día anterior, no pude pasar mi cuchillo por la capa exterior de las papas asadas. No me quejé en ese momento porque estaba demasiado avergonzado para hacerlo frente a mis invitados. La característica de canje de Olny sobre el lugar era nuestra camarera que era absolutamente encantadora. Muy amable, divertida y servicial, fue una delicia. No recomendaría este restaurante nunca más.

I booked a private area on a busy Sunday Lunch time in the run up to Christmas paying £16 a head for a two course meal for 18 teenage (16-18yrs) girls from the local rugby club... What could go wrong???Well. nothing actually. The main restaurant was hugely busy, as was the bar area, but the pre-ordered food, all came out correctly, as ordered and at the same time. Sensible gaps between the courses and staff came to ensure everything was delivered before disappearing. OK so they didn't have time to stand and chat, but to be fair, I'm surprised they had time to breathe and the food was outstanding for the money. Ember inns are not the gastro pub, fine dining establishments springing up all over the country, but the do offer hearty, well cooked and consistent food at very reasonable prices.18 teenagers fed, and 18 totally empty plates. Don't need to say more really.Thank you top the staff, we will be back if you'll have us

We were staying near Alleyns Head in West Dulwich and visited one late evening for dinner. The pub/eatery is quite large inside and also has outside eating. Kitchen was about to close but we were able to order several dishes. The grilled fillet of sea bass was awesome. Dish came with baby potatoes, asparagus and pesto sauce over the fish. Many of the other dishes looked just as good. Great selections of beer as well.I highly recommend this eatery, even if you have to take bus or rail from central London - it's only 15-20 minutes away.

We had booked a private area for a party. We had pre-ordered our food from the 2 or 3 course menu. From the moment we stepped in, the lady behind the bar looked like she didn't want to be there. She barely spoke when serving, and if she couldn't hear, she grunted. If she was asked a question, she would give a killer stare and walk off without giving an answer. I was waiting to be served next and she just walked off leaving me standing there. From the offset, it was all quite awkward and uncomfortable.

A sharing platter starter turned up and was demolished quickly but then had to wait over an hour for sea bass that was so dried up and hard it had turned brown and fibrous instead of being white and juicy and was mostly inedible. Meanwhile the restaurant had filled right up with diners equally twiddling their thumbs, desperately trying to keep their kids amused, or playing games on their mobile phones. My husband prevented me complaining because he didn't want a scene. The excuse was a 'large party' had arrived just before us 'round the other side' but we did not see them.

After some dramas with organising a fairly big 85th birthday event, we had a lovely afternoon. Sonia, the waitress, was so helpful and genuinely friendly - nothing was too much trouble. The food was hot and fresh and we appreciated all of the effort the staff went to make it a special afternoon

Filete de res y verduras cocinadas como a mí me gustan. Muy generosa y sabrosa porción de pescado y patatas fritas para mi otra mitad.

Primera visita a este pub, pequeña joya escondida. Personal realmente amable. Las dos señoras que nos atendieron en el bar y en la zona del restaurante eran geniales, hicieron que la visita fuera muy agradable. El chef nos preparó una excelente comida, excelente relación calidad-precio. No puedo culparlos para ser honestos. . . . . . Volveremos muy pronto; )

Fuimos a tomar unas copas el fin de semana pasado y nos hicieron sentir que nos estaban echando unos 30 minutos antes de su hora de cierre real. No se solicitó el último pedido, era básicamente: "necesitas beber y marcharte". El personal del bar apenas puede molestarse en servirte.

What a rip off ... went there for food and parked in The car park (bearing in mind it’s free parking on the street).

I usually go to the rosendale which we both love, this time I fancied a change so thought we would try this place. Sadly it will be the last visit. The food was poor, tasted very bland and as if it was a microwave meal. I ordered the buttermilk chicken burger and received a normal chicken fillet burger, not just no buttermilk but no flavour whatsoever. My partner ordered the toad in the hole and was so disappointed he left the majority of it and was left with a bad stomach afterwards. The place looks nice and the service was average, only problem being the food.

I am really sorry to write this bad review because when we visited the pub in May I wrote a good review the main complaint was my husband's meal he ordered half a roast chicken and chips the chicken was so small it was laughable my husband mentioned to the lady who collected our plates about how small the chicken was actually i am pretty sure you could not advertise it as half of a roast chicken we would love to know where the chickens are purchased from my husband did inform the bar lady about the tiny size of the chicken and she said that she would inform the chef i do hope he does take note it's such a shame because overall the pub is great i know it's a ember inn establishment and my husband is a shareholder .

Booked a table for 25 as a surprise birthday lunch for my partner and his twin brother. Things didn't go to plan, so we were not able to deliver the table decs. The staff were amazing, in particular Ayla, who rounded up all the decorations she could and put them up for us before we arrived. The manager was great, designated a separate area for us and made everything so easy.

Brilliant pub, amazing food and fantastic staff. A recent visit ended badly when my friend fell ill and collapsed in the restaurant while we was waiting for our food, the quick reaction of staff was amazing and thanks to their support, and care my friend made a quick recovery. We will be back again soon to enjoy the tasty food. Will add have been to this restaurant countless times and the food never fails to disappoint and they do the best brownies ever for dessert.

I held my late Mother’s wake here, and cannot thank Rob and his team enough. From the initial organising, to confirming details and set up for the day Rob made it stress free and a weight off my mind. Given his experience in dealing with this type of event, he had expertise and knowledge on the best set up and catering requirements... a massive help!

Came here with my family and was a nice atmosphere they get a variety of ages young ones just enjoying a few drinks with friends and older ones just reading the paper while having a drink food quality is reasonable for price and staff are very helpful as my grandad got a roast dinner and they forgot the Yorkshire pudding so the waitress brought it out straight away and was very apologetic but we was very happy with our visit we will visit again also we would refer others to visit

Mis amigos y yo visitamos el Alleyns Head para una cena de cumpleaños el sábado por la noche, después de haber estado muchas veces, no tenía ninguna expectativa con respecto a la comida, ya que nunca es excelente, pero como está en un lugar conveniente para todos, parece que siempre lo intentamos. Tal vez una vez al año para ver si hay alguna mejora. Sin embargo, el sábado por la noche fue espectacularmente malo incluso para los estándares habituales. Pedimos bebidas y un vaso de amigos olía y sabía a desinfectante, ella pidió que lo cambiaran y la camarera dijo que el vaso estaba limpio y que la limonada era el problema, así que Louise pidió una bebida diferente con coca cola como mezcladora. Sin embargo, otro miembro de nuestro grupo tenía un spritzer con limonada y eso estaba bien, así que ciertamente no era la limonada. Pedimos comida, llegó en un tiempo decente, pero la camarera se esforzó por identificar los platos que estaba sirviendo y no sabía qué era la mayoría. ! Los platos se dejaron en la mesa durante bastante tiempo después de que termináramos, a pesar de que el restaurante estaba vacío con solo nuestra mesa y 2 mujeres en otra mesa. Luego de que los platos se despejaron, esperamos pacientemente a que alguien nos preguntara si nos gustaría postres o algo más, después de 45 minutos de espera y no pudimos oírnos hablar ya que nos ahogó el sonido de 6 a 8 miembros de El personal charla en voz alta junto a la mesa a lo largo del área del bar. Finalmente, uno de nuestro grupo fue al bar para preguntar si podíamos pedir postres y una camarera muy hosca me dijo que alguien más estaba de guardia ahora que la otra persona había terminado. Finalmente pudimos terminar nuestra comida y luego nos dijeron que el área estaba cerrando y cuando queremos pagar para ir a la caja fuerte. Recibimos la cuenta y nos sentamos en otra parte del pub para terminar las bebidas y averiguar quién debía cada cosa y luego pagar individualmente nuestras tarjetas. Ese debería haber sido el final, ya que todos habíamos acordado que esta era la última vez que regresaríamos, sin embargo, la camarera se acercó a nuestra mesa varias veces diciéndonos que el pub cerraría pronto y podríamos terminar, pero aún no vamos. a cualquier otra mesa a pesar de que varios tenían personas sentadas en ellos. Es una pena, ya que es un edificio encantador en una excelente ubicación y con un buen personal y un menú decente bien cocinado, podría ser una gran ventaja para West Dulwich, pero desafortunadamente hemos tenido una o muchas malas experiencias aquí.

We recently celebrated our wedding at The Rosendale, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! Everything was absolutely spotless, and the entire day went off without a hitch. Our guests were so well looked after, and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The food was delicious and served right on time, making the experience even more memorable. A special shout-out to Krista for her incredible planning and support both before and during the event, as well as to Oscar, Holly, and the entire team for their dedication and professionalism. They made our day truly unforgettable, and we’re beyond grateful for everything they did. The Rosendale team is simply amazing, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

Went to get a drink at 10pm, Arthur told me wasn't serving because I opened the door wrong, but they were obviously cleaning and closing up. Just say that,say your closing, and don't act as I'm drunk for not pushing the door when it's a pull.

Best Sunday roast in Kennington - really great veggie options (2 of them) and good selection of meat options. Service was great and pub is lovely inside. Great place to bring dogs and they even do a small dog roast :) My new favourite pub.
