The Rose & Crown in Bromsgrove

Food is supposed to run to 21.00. But we’re closed for food at 20.40. Disappointing as wings are really good here. Maybe next time.

We booked a table for last night at 8pm and arrived on time to sit at a nice 4 seater table and our drinks order was taken. We then had another couple sit on the table next to us and there food and drinks order was taken. We then were sat there half an hour later with the menus still in front of us and the table next to us had received there mains. We finally ordered our food just after half 8 and our starters came quickly and our mains shortly after, nobody came and asked if the food was ok or if we required anything else and when we had finished our mains sat at the table with our finished plates for around 20 minutes before being collected. If the service had been better we would have ordered more drinks and also dessert, however instead we left unimpressed due to the service.

The restaurant was fully booked, but we ate from the same menu in the bar, which was very quiet. The food came quite quickly, and was attractively served. The pie was very tasty, but the salmon fishcakes were a bit light on salmon. Would certainly eat there again.

Went to Ye Old Black Cross last night. Decided to go as we wanted to try their food and we were not disappointed at all. Really well cooked food, hot and fresh and lovely presentation, steak and chips, mixed grill and ham egg and chips. Nice one chef, keep up the good work 😄 The staff are really welcoming and the pub has a great atmosphere. We have been to the pub before but last night felt different, people playing darts, families eating, well done to all of you who have made this happen. There's a band fortnightly and last night was Vehicle, quality gig, 80s music. We will definitely be back for more. Oh and the food cost £35 for 3 of us, which for the standard of food I thought was very reasonable. Thanks everyone

Great beer and value. Friendly staff.
