Fabulous 90’s events evening with DJ and glow sticks too! Appealing to ages from 12-82! Wonderful party atmosphere; everyone had a great evening. Food was delicious; set menu of two courses, hot & beautifully cooked. I just love the coffee with cream afterwards too! Service was good. Venue is perfect with a little dance floor and room between tables; good job as everyone was up having a great time! Will certainly be back! I don’t know why but the ladies loos are clean, but have an awful sticky floor (was exactly the same in December) makes you feel a bit icky!

Went as a party for Chinese New Year. Have been many times for dinner and always been delighted, expected the same standards but it was not to be. Our food was delivered in dribs and drabs and by the time everything had come out for each course everything was stone cold. We were given luke warm plates which were also cold by the time the food came. The service was appalling and the quality of the food for £70 per person did not meet anyones expectations. In my opinion they tried to cater for too many people and neither the kitchen or serving staff could cope. To say we were very disappointed is an understatement and unfortunately we will not be returning.

We used to love coming here as a special treat over 25 years ago. I have to stay that really things are not as good as they used to be. Our waiter seemed very young and inexperienced and was unable to answer some of our queries. We were sat right at the back of the restaurant near the kitchen, not ideal. The gentleman who seated us was very friendly and told us a little of the history of the restaurant but it kind of petered out there. Food arrived quickly, we ordered the expensive duck pancakes. Everything was hot when it arrived but the side plates we were given were cold so the food as you tried to assemble it quickly went cold, not really enjoyable. The 2nd course was similar, arrived hot but once on cold plates was just ok. To be honest the food just wasn’t as good as it used to be, some of the flamboyance of the place was gone. No earth in the testaurant and no music so it wasn’t welcoming, not sure we will be rushing back .

I’ve been wanting to go to this place for ages and was really looking forward to forward to it. Had a table booked for 9pm. We were seated near the bar with menus and ordered our drinks at the bar. There were a few large parties also waiting. Decor/restaurant seemed very dated They took our order about 30 minutes later and soon after we went to our table. Starters arrived, chicken satay skewers, nothing special, okay. Then half a duck (they don’t do quarter?). We only had 6 pancakes that were overcooked and had a load of duck left over. Main arrived - chicken in sweet and sour sauce. It was tasty. No peppers or onions?Very small bowl of rice and noodles where you had to hunt for the bean sprouts and onions (just about found one). No one came over to ask how our meals were. We had to ask for a wet wipe at the end of our meal. When we paid at the end the waitress came over and asked if we wanted our change back? Maybe my expectations were too high. Won’t return. Thank you for the experience but a very disappointing one.

Food was really nice, is expensive for what it is however. Restaurant good for getting dressed up / having a special meal. Only downside, for me the service could be way better for the price you pay to eat here, nothing particularly bad happened, but a smile and a bit of enthusiasm from staff could go a long way, especially as most people go here for special occasions etc & are paying top price, should receive top service.

Yesterday was my second visit to China Rose. I have to say I do not understand the hype around this place at all. The restaurant itself now looks tired, dated, and in need of a refurb. There seemed to be a surplus of staff just standing about yet the service was not attentive at all. My quid started was nice, but nothing special. My monkfish main was gloopy and tasteless. The restaurant claims to be Cantonese yet the dessert menu consisted entirely of non-Cantonese, low-quality desserts, that I imagine come in frozen. A disappointing (but not completely awful) experience; will probably never go back.

Unfortunately we had to cancel our booking on Friday 20th October due to the flooding of roads caused by storm Babet. We live about 40 minutes from the restaurant and at the time it was considered unwise to travel especially as our friends are in their 70s and were afraid of getting stranded. We asked if it would be ok to move our booking to Sunday 22nd October and I was told that wouldn’t be a problem but we would lose our £60 deposit. We were told that we could have a take away but as we couldn’t travel it didn’t help. Not very customer friendly and very disappointing. We first ate there 30 years ago but unfortunately we won’t be returning!

We had the best time and although we was there over 2 hours , the night flew by . We had 3 courses including duck as a middle course and every dish was cooked to perfection . The food was very plentiful with very good size portions . This is a place that we will definitely be returning .

I have always wanted to go to China Rose and finally went as a Birthday treat from my husband. After reading some of the negative reviews & it being my first time I was a bit apprehensive. On arrival we had the option of being seated at our table or at the bar - we chose table & was seated immediately with drinks ordered as well. We had complementary prawn crackers while we waited for the starter which came around 5/10 mins.later. We were asked if we wanted the mains straight away or wait a while....the food was absolutely delicious, well cooked & flavoursome. Our waiter was excellent, gave us enough time in between courses & assisted our every need. All in all, would highly recommend & will definitely be returning.

Had the chicken and cashew nut main and it resembled prison food - slimy, pallid boiled chicken and unappetising veg without seasoning or sauce. We felt it was over-priced - sides are extra and expensive. Had to ask if I could order a drink while we waited - staff were too busy standing around in little huddles. On the whole, uninspiring, poorly cooked and not worth the money. Definitely won’t be coming back.

After finally getting through, I was told I needed to pay a £20 deposit for each person I was booking for, plus the restaurant is only open Thursday through Sunday and if we went into lockdown would only be given vouchers back. there’s a dress...

Don’t get me wrong the food here is very good, although as locals we find it’s better quality earlier in the week, opposed to the weekends. Surprisingly they decided to delay their opening until this week, instead of having the opportunity of reopening on July...

Visited last night for their opening night after lockdown, and was not disappointed. As usual the staff are so friendly, professional and helpful. The food was superb, had a set menu adding in crispy duck as an extra course. So pleased this Bawtry institution survives...

From my first visit to China Rose to now, I’ve always been impressed. Firstly, I love the cleanliness of the restaurant and the decorations, it really feels like a special place to eat! Secondly, the food is immaculate. While it is on the more expensive...

I have phoned this restaurant over 100 times this evening to try and book a table in a couple of weeks. There are two numbers listed so I kept phoning one while my husband phoned the other, only to either be disconnected or the user busy. How on earth in these unprecedented times is a person supposed to book a table. Needless to say it’s a joke and they don’t deserve my custom

The food at the china rose is as always wonderful. The staff are pleasant, and the atmosphere is always really good. The set menus offer a great selection of choices, and the staff are always extremely welcoming. The only negative is the price, it is very expensive, but whenever I visit I am always happy with the quality of the food that is given.

Just ordered and collected BBQ Spareribs (good) and beef with seasonal vegetables (very poor) Although the beef was tender and tasty, the "seasonal vegetables" consisted of just baby bok choy and a miniscule amount of carrot. The sauce was non-existent and what I could find was very thin and tasteless. The egg fried rice was OK and Free prawn crackers were very nice. I have eaten with friends and family at this wonderful restaurant many many times and found it to be absolutely exceptional but sadly this take-out experience nowhere near measured up to the usual very high standard. Extremely disappointing and I am looking forward to an explanation from the restaurant. Different chefs maybe? I would have emailed the restaurant directly with this complaint but could find no way of doing this on their website. (another complaint!)

I've been wanting to go here for ages and finally ate there last night. We had a great meal. All 4 meals were lovely. The staff were all really friendly. We had read some derogatory comments about the restaurant so we were a bit apprehensive but needn't have worried. So you cant wear ripped jeans? That's not really a problem

Beautiful food at this first class establishment. Always dine here when in the area and never leave disappointed. Plenty of delicious cuisine and swiftly served drinks from a well stocked bar. Always busy and rightly so, cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent food. Really good evening. Prices are a little high but I suppose to get what you pay for. We had a great time.

Visited here a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. I've been dying to go back ever since. Monday my partner and I visited again and were still just as impressed. The whole experience is enjoyable. The place is unique in its layout and decor and gives for a lovely atmosphere. It's very relaxed and the tables are well spread out giving privacy when dining. The staff are very attentive and polite, even offered a new table cloth when we moved onto deserts! The food is just delicious, weve enjoyed many Chineses, eat in and takeaway and this takes first place. Our favourite from both visits, as we had to have it again is the house mixed starter, it's a platter with spring rolls, seaweed, some incredible squid and some other bits. The prices here are quite expensive which is why it's taken so long for us to get back but it's definitely worth it for such quality food. Definitely recommend this place as a place to get dressed up and have a lovely evening with good food.

Everyone raves about this restaurant and too be honest we always went to the chinese in town but thats gone down hill so we went to China Rose for my son in laws birthday last night, 10 of us, it was quiet because it was a monday night, most of us have been before but i wont be going again, the food was nice but certainly over priced, we went for the £30 each set menu, we had to ask for some more pork for the lettuce we had left and were charged for it!, and not a prawn cracker in sight ! the staff need some customer relations training, no interaction with the customers from anyone, theres more life in a tramps vest, i thought they were verging on rude, no acknowledgement of my son in laws birthday or to the person on the next table to us who's birthday it was too.and as said in previous reviews no explanation of what the food was when it came out, just left on the table, we had to ask for some sauces to dip the starters in because they were dry. I wish we had ordered a chinese takeaway from our local and had that at home with a few beers and saved ourselves over £400!

Had a take away last night and as we haven't gone anywhere for the last 18 months we thought, lets have a Chinese take out. Had the meal delivered to our front door. We dished the meal up and sat down to eat it. OMG the sauce was horrible and tasted awful. The sauce it self was that thick and gloopy you could cut it with a knife and I'm not joking. For all the people that have given this take away a good review, you need to get your taste buds looked at. Do not recommend purchasing anything from here and we certainly won't be using them again.
