The Rose And Castle in Rugby

We have visited the Rose & Castle on many occasions and always had a great experiece both food and with customer service . The gentleman that is normally front of house and the reason I am sure you get repeat custom was not in this evening . The visit today also a birthday celebration was totally the reverse, the lady front of house, we felt was quite rude and couldn’t wait for us to leave . At 9:45pm we were told that they were shutting even though we still had drinks to finish. Such a shame to have had such a poor experience

The Rose and Crown looks and feels like a pub but describes itself as an 'eatery'. Atmosphere is very much that of a pub and the food, selected from wipe-clean menus, is that of a pub. Menu was simple but food was good. Service was friendly but not particularly attentive. Our bottle of wine was plonked on the table for us to open and serve ourselves, dirty plates were left quite a while on the table and we were never asked how the was. It wasn't particularly busy. We thought the prices were reasonable and we certainly didn't feel rushed.

Excellent service the staff were so friendly . The service was so well organised best I had been to. And the food was beautiful. Plenty on the plate without being to much. Roast potatoes with garlic also rosemary were outstanding . When we walked in the staff were excellent

Went 29 th June Myself and wife and dog Sat outside as no dogs allowed in pub Everything good Staff helpful and attentive price’s excellent for the quality of food and service varied menu Would rate this as one of the best meals had in a long while food perfect service same prices very reasonable Every time we pass in the narrowboat this will be a definite call I would rate the best I have stopped at on the Oxford canal

Cannot cook a steak - don’t ask how i would like a steak if Chef only capable of cooking medium-well rather than rare. 3 steaks ordered - none cooked as requested. Disappointing considering the cost of a Fillet.

In my opinion, a little dowdy looking from the outside, I stay nearby on business quite often and kept passing by ,it is immaculate inside, well finished with a great menu ,food is great quality and the hosts are welcoming and professional, the pub is also toasty warm, keep up the good work 👏

Around 24 of us ate here and everything was perfect, food is amazing and staff were so well organised as some of our group have very specific dietary requests … Great restaurant…

The food here is amazing.The staff are really helpful and friendly.Lovely atmosphere.Highly recommend this place.

Not a great situation here as right on the main road, but we had a good meal. Menu is extensive, and the service very good.

We cruised down the canal and found this pub/restaurant on Google Maps. We moored and took a short walk not knowing what kind of establishment we would find. What an absolute GEM. Be aware Mon to Fri restaurant only opens 6 till 8pm. The menu selection is vast with numerous 'home made' items. We had 4 different main courses all of which were cooked perfectly. On to the Desserts - again four different and all to die for. As cocktails were on offer we sampled maybe six. Delicious. Final bill was well within expectations of a restaurant this good. The staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. Wait time - well we had time to blink a bit 😁. Highly Recommended.

Came here on a Wednesday evening to meet some work colleagues. It was very busy for a week day so definitely recommend booking a table. The staff were all very chatty and friendly. The food was great and there was so much choice. I ordered the fish and chips and it was huge!!! I couldn't finish it but still ordered a pudding. The honeycomb cheesecake was amazing. It was my first time here, would definitely go back and recommend to others.

Family meal out to celebrate my birthday with husband, 2 sons and daughter in laws, what an amazing pub. Lots to choose from on the menu, we all had something different and all meals were excellent, hot and plentiful. Desserts were exceptional and if you were too full you could take it home. The waitress who served us was so lovely, very polite, respectful and attentive. Would recommend 100%, love the pictures on the wall too. Many thanks and can't wait to return😊

Excellent lunch, food good quality, nicely presented and tasted delicious. Pub garden unfortunately not in use if you want to eat outside. However, would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely meal here with our friends. Service was excellent and food was piping hot and very tasty. We all had the Stilton chicken which was so tasty. Plenty of parking available. Very quiet yesterday evening which surprised us as the restaurant is normally very busy. There is so much choice on the menu. Would have liked dessert but too full after main course.

Staying nearby for one night on business, the hotel menu looked limited and expensive, so I wandered down to the village and found this gem. The food was very tasty, a good menu with lots of choice, and the service couldn't have been nicer to a last minute single lady who arrived very close to the kitchen closing.

Lovely night out for a birthday meal. Booked ahead and were seated promptly on arrival. All the food was fantastic home cooked and no particular wait for food. All staff were helpful friendly and ready to serve. Good COVID guidelines and signage clear throughout. Of course we will be back!

It’s really hard to find good quality food nowadays with so many restaurants about but wow just wow is the main review of the food! It’s nice to see when it says homemade it comes out looking homemade, we came as a party of 8 with a high chair and all the food came out at the same time, hot, and looking great, special mention to Alfie our waiter who bless him has to repeat things 3 times because we couldn’t remember what we ordered. My husband said the Beef Wellington Pie was the best pie he had ever eaten! Thank you and we will be back again

Visited this pub on our boating holiday and can not fault the experience. This was our first time eating out in 4 months and it was fab! The staff were so diligent in keeping social distances and the cleaning procedures were faultless. It says they are operating a reduced menu but it looked very comprehensive to us. If you want a good meal when in the Coventry Canal, this is the place. Could not fault it and lovely staff....... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It is unusual to find such consistency in the standard of food and service. We have been regular visitors here for at least twenty years and I would rate every visit as 5 out of 5. Keep up the great work.

We are so used to amazingly welcoming canal side pubs that we never thought to check the reviews for this one! We had travelled in our canal boat for several hours in the rain and fancied an impromptu pub lunch. We have 2 well behaved dogs with us, on Sunday we ate in the Samuel Barlow up the canal near Alvecote and it was full of dog owning customers. We walked up to the solid pub door at 12.30 to see a large sign stating no dogs other than assistance dogs. So we left. The end. Reading previous reviews he probably did us a favour...

Tried to eat here but after we sat down we were told we couldn't stay as we had a pram. We asked if we could put it in a corner or something (we were not trying to be difficult or leave it blocking everyone) but were told no, and had to leave. There are no signs or anything saying no children or we would have avoided it.Luckily other patrons, who were also very surprised at how we were being treated, advised us of somewhere else that we could go.

It has been years since I last came to this pub, Thursday evening and very busy witha very good ambiance. Food was lovely my husband and I shared whitebait for a starter followed by steak and Stilton pie for me and Liver and onions for my husband, both meals were excellent the liver was lovely and moist not over cooked. We will definitely be back.

This pub is NOT for the weary hungry family! Arrived by Narrowboat lovely sunny day but sadly no lunch was eaten. Poor customer service man in particular has a chip on his shoulder put us in a bad mood to begin with. Pub not dog friendly but we could sit in the unkempt beer garden full off dirty glasses. After clearing a table we found out that they don’t serve food outside?! What’s the point in having the garden then??If you want friendly country pub suitable for a family then “steer” well clear (boat pun intended!) The Rose and Castle is not for you. If you are after over priced gastro food in a stuffy unwelcome environment then by all means eat here.

Starter & main + a nice beer for about £20 - good value, very tasty and as always was made to feel welcome - never disappoints.

Friendly polite staff. The menu is varied and there is a wide range of dishes to suit all tastes. Very good meal at a reasonable price.

We came off the canal to have dinner here the boat described it to be a lovely pub with garden on the canalThe books a bit old the pub has changed hmmmm!Took a look at the menu food looked ok pub looked ok Ask to eat in the garden as it was a lovely day answer no because of health and safety!What!So just had a beer in the garden which was fenced off from the river and mobbed by stingers What a waste of a nice location

Above average price and the quality of the food doesn't support that. Lambs liver was tough, gravy was gloopy. Salmon ok but new new potatoes disappointing. Overall just average food. Not once were we asked if everything was ok. Would not come back.

Popped in for a couple of drinks as soon as the head barman/landlord knew i wasnt eating i was ushered in to a table at the back of the pub. Premium prices for drinks not a place for the weary traveller

We arrived by narrowboat on the Ashby Canal and had previously booked our table some weeks in advance as I know how busy pubs near canals can be. The pub is about 300m from the canal by bridge 14 if your reading a canal map. We were shown straight to our table and the staff very extremely polite, professional and pleasant. Our food was served quickly (even though the pub was full of diners). It was hot, fresh and delicious. The ales were nicely kept too!! Thank you to everyone at the Rose & Castle for a lovely meal. We are back again tonight!! Highly recommended.

We use to go to this pub for food regularly a few years back. We thought we would give it a go again and it was busy. The food came shortly after ordering and was fine. The female member of staff was polite but the younger male could do with brushing up on his customer service skills. It costs nothing to be pleasant and have manners and goes along way to give the paying customer an enjoyable time, it also helps for repeat trade. I think the food was very reasonable and was cooked well, the rump steak was alittle tough but apart from that the chef did a good job. Would recommend and hope the young man reads this and thinks more about the customer than being on the phone...yes the side of the bar out of view has a mirror where there is no hiding.

Never been here before always go down the road. It was lovely. Food was excellent, staff friendly and attentive. Would recommend and will definitely be going back. Great night with girls

Food looked good and two of the three dishes were fine, but the battered cod had a strong smell and taste of ammonia. Naturally the cod meal was taken off the bill. Shame the stomach ache took longer to go.

This was our second visit to the restaurant and we were not disappointed. We popped in earlier in the day for a couple of drinks and the staff were very friendly and attentive and we sorted our table ready for our meal later on. The meal was excellent and the service was professional. We will be visiting again.

We always choose here rather than our hotel restaurants. Why? the service is always polite, friendly and swift. The food is fresh and good quality and all reasonably priced . Superb place

This is the second year myself and friends have visited this pub. We were working in the North Coventry area and didn’t want to eat in a high street chain. It’s not too far to drive. The pub has plenty of parking, a wide and varied menu and the food is spot on. The landlord was also very accommodating when we made a last minute request for a table for 11 people.

excellent food, service and value for money, visited with group of friends all 8 of us ordered something different and all meals were lovely and plenty. Not one of us finished our meals as we were all too full. It is best to book for large groups, but mostly call off speck and maybe short wait occassionally if they are busy.

We feared the worst when we walked in as there was just one person behind the bar and one serving and the place was packed. We needn't have worried though as these 2 people did the work of 5 people and kept everyone happy and contented.

I have visited 6 or 7 times in the last couple of years and found the food, service and drinks exceptional. I have always chosen something different from the menu and never been disappointed. The food is always hot and served with a smile. I am now looking forward to my next visit. The food is probably a little more expensive than most pub food but it's delicious.

One not to miss out on. We stumbled upon this lovely little pub, we went in and the decor is lovely, staff very friendly and helpful. I had the beef and Stilton pie, my partner had a beef roast, everything was so lovely, all beef nice and juicy and the portions were big, not over priced. Had a really nice time Thankyou

Staying at nearby Anstey Hall we were looking for a local pub and walked down to The Rose and Castle. Although it was more restaurant than pub we were welcomed to sit down and enjoy a drink. The place had a nice atmosphere and great aromas were coming from the kitchen so we decided to try a baked camembert to go with our drinks. It was very nice indeed so we then booked a table for the following evening when we enjoyed a lovely meal and probably the best thai green curry I have ever had... couldnt recommend highly enough

Have been before and the food never disappoints . I had the sea bass with tomatoes.Utterly delicious ! My husband had the liver and bacon which he said was very good . Service was very good and we will definitely be coming back.

This is our ‘go to’ restaurant for great pub fare. Extensive menu and helpful staff. The food is of a consistently high standard and we have never been disappointed. Family friendly too. You need to book to ensure a table. Would highly recommend

We went to the Rose and Castle for our xmas get together and we all agreed that the food was of good quality and the service was very good. We had the Christmas menu and by selecting our choices a few weeks in advance it mean't that we had our food not long after we sat down. The staff were very helpful and we all agreed to have our xmas meal again next year.

The warm welcome we received was second to non, you can tell that this pub is in such professional hands the owners and staff seem to have such a rapport. We were attended to but it was not over bearing, just right. The landlady, I think was wonderful her banter and kindness sold us more alcohol! Our glasses were never empty for long, she was very attentive. It’s like she knew “these guys are in for a god drink” I hate it when there is table service and you have to ask for more drinks. This lady was awesome!

I have frequented the Rise & Castle on several occasions. Always a very good meal. Besides the various steaks and pies (Steak & Stilton, Steak & Mushroom and for a change Seafood - all very good), the menu includes a nice mix of other dishes. Pasta, curry, and others. Good selection of beers as well.

Very nice very tasty but sadly to large a portion so therefore could not manage a sweet. The fish hung over the plate beautiful.

I’m happy to report that the food here is so very delicious. The menu has a varied and interesting content. Always full of flavour and has never failed to disappoint.

Had a great meal here with my wife, relaxed atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food was well cooked, tasty and well presented. Will definitely return.

Thought this was a pub but set up as a restaurant. Nicely done and good food - steak and ale pie v good. Warning though to boaters in particular - it’s not dog friendly ( as a restaurant) and not sure it could just call for a drink

We called into the Rose and Castle by chance on Sunday around 2:00pm expecting a queue out of the door and were very pleasantly surprise that there was a table available .. we both order a Sunday lunch … one lamb and one turkey … both were excellent … the Sunday lunch is offered in three different sizes … we both had medium and there was plenty of fresh meat and vegetables on the plate … genuine real meat … not the wafer thin version you are served at some places … served piping hot and with roast and boiled potatoes and three different vegetables. Genuinely enjoyed the full experience … staff were excellent … highly recommended

Have visited this pub numerous times, the food is gorgeous, service wonderful, and the surroundings very good. Love this place, extensive menu all cooked to perfection

This fabulous pub always delivers. The service is great, the staff attentive, the food cooked beautifully. A great pint or cocktail and of course soft drink options. The only pity is I really can't fit a desert in! Thank you all. Keep up the fabulous work team!

Dined here on business, very nice and well kept place, decent drink selection and a really good and varied food menu a bit different from your normal pub menu, much more choice and variation. The quality of the food was great and the service excellent, and it was all reasonably priced. Couldn’t fault it really, well recommended and will return when next in the area.

Visited on a Saturday evening whilst staying at a nearby hotel. There were already several people dining and we were advised that the restaurant was already fully booked but that they could fit us in for 6pm if that was convenient for us. Going with that table time we ordered a round of drinks and went outside to peruse the menu. The menu offers an excellent choice. There are a couple of tables at the front side of the building but was right on the side of a busy main road and it soon became apparent that this was “smokers corner “ . We were about to retreat back inside when we observed a couple disappear with their drinks round the back of the pub into the car park. On enquiry we were advised that there was a ‘beer garden’ at the bottom of the car and adjacent to a canal.

Con dos colegas tuvimos dos comidas consecutivas de la noche aquí, mientras se aloja en Ansty Hall.

Phoned on a Saturday teatime to see if there was space that evening. Was offered a booking at 7pm and arrived to find the place nearly full. Attentive and smiling service of an attractive menu offering. Food was well prepared and presented and the wine was at an appropriate temperature.

Cuatro de nosotros nos llama a la hora del almuerzo aquí para un bocado rápido.

Staff were friendly and welcoming, ordered the roast dinner (large) x 2 which by the way comes with a warning about the amount of 3 different types of meat that you'll get, or not in our case. Only got 2 meats which was a average amount, oh was supposed to get two types of potatoes as well, roast and boiled, only got two roast. Gravy was tasted like powdered.

We were a large party on a Saturday night and the food and service was faultless. The waiting staff were very attentive and helpful. I would recommend.

Superb menu - something for everyone and reasonably priced. Service excellent, food matched the service.

On a business trip and needed evening meal near our hotel. Went to the Rose and Castle. Made to feel very welcome by barman and ordered food - despite a big Christmas party it was pretty quick and was excellent food which we would highly...

As usual the food was excellent. We all had the chicken with the Stilton and cream sauce . This is so tasty and a great meal choice. Staff were friendly and our meals were served quickly. Love the glasses that are used for the drinks....

We have just left after having a starter to share and a main each.. No room for desert, full up. Excellent service by the tall young man, beautiful food.. We asked to be moved from our original seating, no problem was the reply.. Not cheap...

Fuimos con unos amigos a cenar, la comida es fantástica, pero la guarnición de ensalada obviamente prepárate porque horas antes, era redonda marrón del borde de la lechuga. La calidad de la comida era estupenda, porciones de buen tamaño y a gestionar un flan.

8 of us visited loveky little pub nice atmosphere friendly staff starters huge I had Brie my mum had the pate all lovely roast dinners all fresh warm and big portions and good as u can order 3 different sizes children's meals were good size to will defo come back when I come back to Coventry

we went here for my sons birthday. We ordered steak that was covered in mushrooms, onions and cheese served with chips, goats cheese pancake served with salad and chips, and goats cheese, bacon and red chutney burger served with chips and salad. All the food came piping hot, the food was gorgeous would go there again.

No ha sido aquí una comida durante años. Satisfecho al decir que teníamos tres comidas buenas. El servicio era muy bueno. El único aspecto negativo fue que no había mucha gente en el lugar. No dejar tanto tiempo hasta que vamos de nuevo.

Pequeño restaurante en las afueras en las. Entorno encantador junto al canal con un jardín. Fantástica comida a precios razonables de un delicioso menú. Servicio amable en un ambiente cálido y acogedor. Se adapta a las personas de todas las edades para cualquier ocasiones especiales.

The staff were so miserable, especially supposingly the manager. I bought mother a birthday cocktail (piña colado) and of course myself, and behold to my surprise it was half full.complained but the manager just said was the correct measurement. No way,had cocktails before if any think always some over in the shaker. The food was ok, definitely not homemade chips. Would I go back NEVER. shame because I am a catering manageress myself and business is wird to mouth. get your act together rose& castle!!!!!!!!!!

Dropped in here for the first time in years and was warmly greeted. It wasn't busy at all and I was made to feel very welcome.I was eating on my own but was meeting a few friends for a drink later. I ordered mushrooms to start and the faggots for main. Both were very good and good value. There were a few real ales on tap. Old Hooky was my choice and was very good indeed!Come 10pm the place was empty - as in, we were the only people in there. The one remaining barman, a young lad told us he was shutting up after our drinks. Official closing time is 11pm.My friends and I were enjoying our last round when we saw the barman clearly agitated that we were still there. He was tapping his fingers on the bar, huffing and puffing loudly clearly making the point that he wanted us out.We felt very, very uncomfortable and unwelcome!A real shame to end what otherwise a good evening!

Been to this pub many times! It's a cosy pub with a country pub feel dotted with black and white pictures of famous singers! The menu is vast and the food is good with decent sized portions. It's warm welcoming and friendly staff make the experience enjoyable and the prices are reasonable. We love going there on our own mid week or with friends on a Friday night.

We went today for Sunday lunch. The service was excellent. Four of the group had the Sunday roast which was delicious and the fifth member of the group had the steak and Stilton pie. The portions were very generous and everything was cooked perfectly. Will certainly be returning.

We Visit 3-4 times a year. Food and service consistently good. Last visit early July 2017 did not disappoint. Neither cheap nor overly expensive- but good overall - you get exactly what you pay for.Menu variety is huge...never had a bad Meal

this is shared with the Shilton Arms just down the road. Excellent food.Gets quite busy but the staff try there best. No waiting over someone to finish.

Visited for lunch and the main ingredients had been over cooked making the gammon very dry and tasteless ( a steak type knife may have increased the chances of cutting it) the chicken breast was also very dry. Chips, onion rings appeared to have been over cooked too. In the past we've had very good food which we have enjoyed but after our last visit it will be awhile before we go again

We visited here for lunch a few weeks ago, choosing it for its comprehensive allergen menu. We had a delicious 3 course meal, everything was fresh and tasty. However a day later it was apparent my daughter had been served something with soya as she had an allergic reaction. I phoned and spoke to Steve the manager who traced that she had been served soya ice cream incorrectly with a gluten free dessert. He was very apologetic and I was very impressed that they had traced the source and admitted their error. He invited us back for a complimentary meal as compensation. We visited again yesterday and again all enjoyed our food. What I wasn't impressed about was being chased into the car park by the bar man as apparently the offer of a free meal was only for one dish and I had to go back in and pay for the rest. Maybe I misinterpreted the original offer but that certainly put a bit of a dampener on our return visit

Booked a table here for a Father's Day treat, and I can honestly say it is one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Lots to choose from on menu and food is cooked beautifully. You don't get your food instantly but it's worth the wait and I would rather wait that get a microwaved dish! Would highly recommend.

We have visited this restaurant this evening. Spent just under £50.00, I do not understand how a chef can send food out to our table having been cooked in a microwave. Never going back.

Pub/restaurant with traditional decoration next to the Oxford Canal. It has a pleasant garden where you can watch the barges go by. We had a meal in side, menu is typical pub fare. Well cooked and served. Staff were friendly , would go here again.

Visited here on Monday evening with family. We had such a fantastic evening from start to finish. The food was of a high standard as was the service. Will definitely be returning soon!

We turned up on a busy Saturday night without a booking. The place was packed but Staff were very helpful and found us a table. The food was good pub grub without fads, but with excellent ingredients that's were well cooked. I had a fish pie that was full with mixed fish (some pies are all sauce and spuds) and my husband had a mixed grill, with a lovely selection of sausages, liver and steak etc. The prices were very reasonable. We would definitely eat here again.

Went here todsy for sunday lunch with my daughter and grandson, we both had the beef my grandson the turkey when asked if the child could have mashed potatoes instead of the roast we were told thats not possible so we had to purchase mashed potatoes extra we also ordered coliflower cheese extra, when are meals arrived the beef was so tough you couldn't even cut it with a knife the extra mash was hard as if left in the microwave for too long the coliflower cheese was packet cheese sauce the Yorkshire pudding was frozen and the complete dinner had been pre cooked and reheated that in my books is not freshly cooked as the advertise, all in all a very disappointing meal. To be fair when we complained they did give us another dinner this time lamb although this was still dry and tough.

Party of 12 had a lovely meal at the Rose and Castle, the evening before wedding at The Ansty Hall Hotel, the food and service were excellent

First time we have been to the Rose and Castle in a number of years. A Saturday afternoon starter and mains with soft drinks (driving unfortunately!) - The welcome was excellent and the food was really good ... we both had whitebait for the starter with one steak and one fish dish for the mains. Not the cheapest ... just over £43 but it was well worth it ....

This little pub has all the qualities to be a very good bistro experience, just one or two things let it down.It didn't start well that as we were seated the table next to us were complaining about their food, but hey ho!The menu was extensive and I do like to try something different sometimes so I opted for the chicken and ham skewers with some sort of hot sauce as a starter. Pretty average to be honest, chunks of ham that was not great quality thrown on a skewer with a sauce that was a bit too hot really, can't remember what my wife had but it was ok. For the main she had sea bass which she said was lovely and I must say it looked good to. My wife hates liver, so sometimes its a treat for me to have it now an again, so that's what I ordered, well, I have never been presented with a bowl of food so hot, the food had been nuked to death. By the time I had used all my puff up to actually put it in my mouth any flavours in the meal had been truly dissolved.We ate on a Sunday night after the kitchen had been serving Sunday dinners all day, but that really shouldn't be used as an excuse. There was a good range of beer and wine. The wine we chose was of decent quality.Overall an average experience for us, but the potential is definitely there!

I went on a friday with my girlfriend.The food was bland and horrible. Neither of us enjoyed it, i basically paid £15 for some well cooked under seasoned cod with crushed tomato on top. It just wasn't good. the staff were nice but i wouldn't ever go again or recommend this place. it used to be brilliant but it seems now to be empty and an awful standard.

Visited this restaurant yesterday evening and had a great meal. Service was excellent and we received our meals very quickly. I had the chicken with Stilton which was delicious. Drinks were served at our table which was great. Not busy as is usually very busy,suspect this is because it is post Christmas. Will definitely revisit. Good value meals and what a menu selection. So much to choose from.

Went for birthday Sunday lunch but very disappointed. Beef was so tough it couldn't be cut with knife -fatty and grisly and nearly all left on plate. Lamb was also tough -not as bad as beef but still very poor. Turkey was better but,again, nowhere near as tender as should be. Veg etc all okay but overall meal a bitter disappointment, especially considering the price and having to pay extra for veg such as cauliflower cheese. Definitely not going again.

Been before about 18 months ago and the menu was the same extensive one but never changes. Had prawn cocktail n the batch was solid and you couldn't even cut it. Partner had pigs pudding and it was dry. Service was good and the place was brilliant. Prawn n sea bass was really good I would recommend this.

We visited on a very busy saturday night without booking but were able to make a booking due to the efficient and pleasant staff. It has a nice atmosphere and very quick service both at the bar and at the table despite being so busy. The menu is varied with plenty of choice and the prices are reasonable. The portions are large so visit with an appetite !

Called in here on a Saturday afternoon. Myself and husband had a meal and it was lovely, really good tasty food, large portions. Excellent choice of food, catering for all. The pub/restaurant is very nice too, old style pub with beams etc but feels fresh and modern. Enjoyed the music playing too. Lovely friendly staff.

Was staying in nearby hotel but decided to give here a try. Beautiful old pub with great food. The menu was MASSIVE!! It catered for every taste. I had tacos for starters and burger for main and both very enjoyable.Definately worth a visit if in area.

We have been here a couple of times and were always impressed so booked again for a family meal on Sunday tea time. 23/10/2016 Food is absolutely amazing, couldn't fault it. We had 2 children's chicken strip meals which went down well and then 3 adult meals, lasagne, chicken and steak in a pepper sauce and a chicken burger meal, all were fantastic, we also had starters too which were lovely. Such a delightful little place with attentive staff. Thank you and well done to the chef for the amazing food. Would defiantly go back again soon.

This is a great little pub, very close to the M6 and M69 junction (so good for meeting people from a distance). The menu is creative and extensive. The ale is excellent and the wine good (according to my wife). It is a little crowded and currently being decorated. However, the three-meat Sunday lunch was more than even my ample appetite could cope with. We left full of food and good cheer - and thought that it was excellent value too.

Allergy friendly menu with all the dishes ingredients fully listed. Big choice of food. Staff very friendly. The food is freshly cooked and very tasty. There were 6 in our party and we were all served together. The portions are very big. We have all very good appetites and couldn't manage it all. Highly recommend.

There were ten of us all received our food at the same time, staff very helpful. food was good with decent portions. The atmosphere felt quite warm and friendly I think I would enjoy having a nice meal there just for two. Overall I enjoyed my experience and will probably go there in the near future.

Had dinner in the hotel on Monday, very disappointingWent to this restaurant on Tuesday and the food was fantastic, service great and a fish dish that can only be described as a whale of a mealTry this place it's great

We'd had a busy day on the Oxford canal so we moored just by the Rose and Castle and had a good evening. We weren't sure how they managed to present such an extensive menu which was as wide in choice as we'd seen in a local pub. We all had a good meal with good beers and friendly service.

An amazing menu to choose from, from burgers to chicken with smoked salmon, prawns and Brie! Food was good quality and plenty of it, we had main course and dessert and we were full! The atmosphere is really friendly and the staff were all great, with good humour. Desserts were lovely, quite rich and just a bit too much cream!

Stayed at local Hotel in Ansty but did'nt want to eat there all the time. This was the closest pub and was a perfect local pub serving good food and ale. Very comparable to my local pub in Wrightington -The white Lion. Meal and drinks cost about £50 for 4 - two adults and two children, As before, they just about sq ooze us in, which I find is a good indication.
