The Rose Pub & Kitchen in Lewisham

Nice pub and garden. However, the roast has become so disappointing. It used to be very good, we have given it several chances as it is local to us, we like the vibe of the pub and really wanted it to be our go to for a Sunday roast. However, the food and the service lets it down immeasurably, and given that it is not the cheapest, we wont be having a roast here again. Beef is always very overdone and flavourless (have had to send it back previously as it was very tough), potatoes large and solid undercooked flavourless, yorkshire burnt and just tasted oily. Portions small. Sauces served in disposable paper ramekins. Service is always quite lazy, no check backs, no cutlery/have to go to the bar to get a drink as you'll wait for ages etc. The staff don't seem to care, no real hospitality. A real shame as this used to be a gem.

Good place, excellent for the area worth a visit!

Elliott was fantastic!! Best pub food I’ve had in a while… and I’ve been to many pubs in my time! Aram was also so lovely and it’s so great to come to place where you feel like the servers are your friends!!

Sat at the beer garden while writing this. Atmosphere is good but unfortunately after deciding to order some chips, i received probably around 8 chips in total; big on potato, small on chips. Extremely disappointed with this since I payed £5.5 for a "portion". To add about service, it was a bit slow at the bar, and at the garden a member of staff took my glass away without even asking, while I still the last sips of my glass - which for me is probably one of the most enjoyables. Needless to say I won't be ordering food again.

Roast was as good as ever, glad the kept up high standards on a busy mother's day. Jessica was attentive and polite. All the orders were spot on (even after our amendments). Thank you for helping us celebrate mother's day to two of the best mums in the world! 😁

Elliott served us and he was lovely!

Sometimes I think Holly J is a wizard. That’s all.

We came to this place around 3 pm on a weekday. FYI, they dont do any hot drinks, also it’s very cold inside. We have ordered starters and had to wait 30 minutes for them to come. We have ordered buratta salad and chicken, the portion of chicken is very small even for a starter. Had to go to the bar and ask where our food is the guy said five minutes nothing else, no apology. When the food arrived to our table, we asked why food took so long he said the kitchen are getting used to things, those were exact words While I was still talking, the guy just walked away. Very bad customer service. We were still hungry and would’ve ordered more food but after delays and attitude didn’t want to stay there, won’t go back and don’t recommend coming there.

Elliott was great, lovely service and great food.

Jessica was FANTASTIC. Her lovely smile made our night!

Elliott was an amazing server. Promote him

came back again after a few months… love this place sm. spike was amazing and is such a good chat. bringing the review up higher 12/10

Had a brilliant night with my mates at the Rose Pub & Kitchen. I was treated so nicely by the brilliant Spike. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to give me table service.

Fantastic Atmosphere, but what really stood out was the amazing service from Spike making myself at my friends feel welcome We had an absolute blast

Oliver has been so welcoming and helpful, great night!

Elliot was absolutely wonderful and looked after us really well.

Elliot was a good lad, give him a raise

Spike was very nice and gave great service. Great to talk to and quick brining drinks

Some staff so rude to me even though she doesn’t work,didn’t service just stand in front of tv for watching football match every important time at the moment Even though she doesn’t apologize she doent want it? Kinda racism ? Huh

Aram was amazing! 5/5 service!!

Amazing dining experience - food was exquisite and the service was immaculate. Our server Aaron was an absolute delight and made the night that much better.

Isla and Spike were the highlight of our visit. Great pub, would visit again just for them.

Great local pub, lovely atmosphere and great quiz on a Sunday

great food, great vibes. staff are all friendly and super helpful! would definitely recommend the pork belly roast.

Been here twice now and it’s quickly becoming my fave in the area! Bar team are great and always having a laugh, which I love. Came with my wife for a roast, the food was good, football was on & the atmosphere was great, can’t ask for much more. Elliot did a great job serving us. Thanks guys!

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE ROAST. Raw, dry and undercooked vegetables; potatoes that seem like they were cooked last week, No sauce on the £6.50 cauliflower cheese which was more like mushy baby food. Meat had a decent texture but was bland. Overpriced, badly cooked; ordered the lamb for 4 half the veg came out once the rest was cold. contender for worst roast ever. Gordon Ramsay would have a field day they have to invent new swear words

It’s Sunday, I just asked for a table to enjoy a Sunday roast. I’ve been just served with the sparkling water she suggested me to drink with. She didn’t even come to say sorry when I asked to another waiter for my Sunday roast that was never ordered…unacceptable!

I have been to this pub several times I ordered two stick toffee puddings it had not been cooked it was a load of slush will not be returning. How can they serve this to customers I wish I took some photos I did complain and got a refund.

Great food and service! We greatly appreciated Jessica's patience of serving such a large group! We will definitely come back and highly recommend! :)

Great place for a Sunday roast. Our waiter George took great care of us

George is the best server ever and made our visit a real 10/10

George was great in recommending great food paired with Brixton Reliance! Excellent combo

Thanks for a lovely night, place is large, with a good atmosphere, thanks to sam behind the bar Well done to a good team

Really nice place, a proper pub with decent food. Good selection of keg craft and welcoming for families. Loved the vegan main.

oliver is a nice guy and very friendly

George - amazing Atmosphere - stunning Food - one star for every potato in the roast potato side

George was especially wonderful

Good food, lovely service - thanks George!

The roast was fabulous. Astrid & Jess were very attentive.

A real pleasant surprise as we were passing the pub and saw it did Sunday roast so popped in and great roast had with excellent service first from George who found a table that was quieter for me being a hearing aids wearer so did not want too much back ground noise and from Jess who took our orders and served us excellent Sunday lunch thanks

George was great! Fantastic service!

George was a lovely waiter! Desserts very average, sticky toffee topping was like jelly and not much ice cream on the side. Decent prices.

I visited for the first time after work today and being a contractor I was in (clean) site clothing. The ladies who served me couldn't have been more standoffish although I was my usual polite self yet welcomed those in contemporary fashion with open arms. Even when I returned my glass to the bar before leaving and thanking them I was met with silence. Am I to understand that those of us who wear work clothes are not welcome in your pub? Regards Just a guy wanting to chill for 30.

Very good cocktails. Surprising selection of high quality spirits. It is a little noisy, but loooove the garden at the rear where you can smoke!!!! Genius

Elliot was amazing. So helpful and accomodating xx

Always come to the rose, brilliant pub, brilliant pints, brilliant vibes, brilliant food. Elliot looked after us this time he was brilliant 🤩

Elliot was fantastic! Employee of the month!

Fab place, great food. Elliot provided awesome service. Looked after us from start to finish with a smile. V professional. Give him a promotion / bonus / wage rise / hug.

Holly J, was attentive and friendly, a pleasure.to be look after by.thanks

This is my local but I will never be returning after I realised they add service charge when taking drinks orders from the outdoor seating area. When you are already charging over £7 a pint this is an absolute liberty and not disclosed when ordering.

Holly J. Has been so good to us, very attentive and looking after us. Thank you

Was served by a really lovely person called Aram. He was super helpful and attentive.

Elliot was great! Had a good time

Thank you for the excellent service George

Excellent Sunday lunch. Great work by George! Will be returning!!

I would like to give our server george 5 stars

Very nice meal, great staff. Elliott was fantastic, thanks

Fast service lovely server Elliot was on top of everything great experience I would recommend lovely vegan roast too

This is usually my favourite place to take all my hinge dates, but not anymore! Went there during summer, and ordered potatoes to the table. But what did I encounter? Three unseasoned potatoes for £6? What a joke. Anyways. I went a couple nights ago and asked for gluten free options for beer, and when the bartender asked which one I wanted, I asked for her opinion, into which she turned around to her manager or supervisor and asked. I work in hospitality and can understand that some nights are tiring, however, I felt such a cold and heartless response: “Well a lager is different from an IPA isn’t it”. Question mark? I am a very spiritual person and can pick up on people’s energy very quickly and today I am feeling extremely eerie, which I can only assume came from picking up on this supervisor’s energy. Me personally, I would recommend using incenses to cleanse her and her space. I do regret not saying anything about the service when I was there, but next time I will just ask if she is okay and needs to book a tarot reading, because the energy was not giving. You may not take this review too seriously, fair enough, but please fix the attitude before serving me and my dates again, as I will be back x

Incredible Sunday roast. Get the chefs roast with a bit of every, it's worth it. Best bloody Mary in town and the perfect sticky toffee pud to finish

Beautiful pub in New Cross, and the largest I've been to in the area. As we arrived there was a quiz on (Monday night). Very large bar area so lots of different drinks to choose from. I had an Amstel but my friends had a beer called Sunshine, which was a bit too meadowy for my taste, but if you like an IPA it would be up your street. A very large garden area out the back which had heaters and even little booths you could sit in! Seems like a really good place to socialise

Thankyou mark for the amazing table service !!

Mark was a lovely, attentive, good natured bartender

Ordered 2 fish and chips and the fish tasted awful, like they were out of date or badly refrigerated. Felt queasy all evening. Never going back. Someone should have a look at their hygiene practices.

We had a fantastic meal ! Elliott provided top notch service throughout !

Great service, good vibes, good football. Spike was great! Thanks!

The best pub in New Cross, great service from Holly J

Holly J was an amazing server! Made the evening

Great pub, and Holly J was lovely!

Great pub! Holly J is an amazing staff member.

Elliott again provided brilliant service. Very welcoming and informative of the menu.

Give Elliott a pay rise!! Such a nice guy Will come again!!!

George made me a Cesar Bloody Mary (a regular one with more stuff in iykyk) on a busy Saturday night even tho it’s a total barsteward of a drink. In George we trust. Stay curious! 11/10

The service was amazing, thank you Elliott!

Food was amazing and the service was splendid, thank you Aram!!

aram was great, such a good laugh! thank you for tolerating us :) will defo be coming back for aram alone

Elliott made my experience of this pub tenfold.

Elliot was brilliant. He was especially helpful assisting my friend Craig who has special needs.

Thank you so much to the staff at the rose who made my night so great. Shout out to our servers Aram Isla and Spike. Shepards pie was super tasty! Thank you again. We will be back.

Huge beer garden with heaters and nice indoors too. Staff aren’t particularly friendly though so it doesn’t have a local vibe.

There was a Christmas menu on the website. I booked a table for Christmas lunch, and asked specifically for Christmas lunch at the note. When I arrived I was told they don't have a Christmas menu, even though it is on their website

Excellent pub, good food, nice atmosphere and setting

I had a spectacular Sunday roast with the family here. We were served by George, who was incredibly attentive.

Lovely atmosphere, really nicely put together pub. Good range of beer on offer, and the roast was great - Elliott, my server, could not have been more helpful.

Excelente lugar para una noche con amigos. Tiendo a organizar una fiesta anual de fin de año de Navidad y cumpleaños para todos y esta vez decidí probar The Rose Pub & Kitchen. Recientemente nos habíamos mudado cerca, así que fue una puñalada en la oscuridad para nosotros! Nuestras expectativas fueron superadas. Tuvimos la sala Rose para el evento que era tan acogedor, combinado con el menú de Navidad que era a) gran relación calidad-precio, ser) sabroso como cualquier cosa y c) la cantidad justa de comida para marearnos durante la noche. El personal era increíblemente atento, comunicativo y nos hizo sentir tan bienvenidos durante toda la noche. En general, cero faltas y volvería el 100%. ¡Volveremos en el año nuevo, estoy seguro! Sophie

Really nice roast dinner, Elliott was really accommodating to fit us in as a walk-in and gave great service

The Rose is always a great place for us and we especially enjoyed the Sunday roast (great value). Shout out to Elliott for looking after us 👌

Great roast dinner, with a pleasant service from Elliott!

Service was excellent - Jessica was great. Was a bit disappointed by the cheese board - just 2 cheeses :(

Jessica 5 stars, cheese board 0 star. Food was lovely but having to pay a premium for a cheese board that contained cheddar, blue cheese and a bunch of grapes was a liberty!

Isla was a great host, very friendly and very helpful

Jessica was fab! We had a big Christmas group and she was as patient and lovely as everything. Thank you Jessica

Always like the food and the real kitchen. Isla was helpful and a delight.

Honestly had such a great time here for a roast dinner. The vibes were immaculate , food was great and the service was terrific. A particular highlight was our heroic waitress, Jessica :), who bent over backwards to make our day the best it could be. Thank you so much to Jessica and the whole team at the Rose !!

Fiesta festiva en el Rose Pub y la cocina nos deja encantados Por segundo año consecutivo, The Rose Pub and Kitchen ha demostrado ser un destino destacado para cenas festivas. Organizando la fiesta de Navidad de nuestra organización, el lugar volvió a ofrecer una magnífica experiencia culinaria que dejó a los invitados ya anticipando la celebración del próximo año. La comida comenzó con una generosa porción de parfait de hígado de pollo, acompañado de mermelada de cebolla roja, mantequilla de trufa y masa madre tostada. El parfait era tan abundante que requería algún uso estratégico de la masa madre para garantizar que nada de ella se desperdiciara, un "problema" raro y bienvenido para empezar. Si bien hubo una breve pausa antes de la llegada del plato principal, valió la pena esperar. La pechuga de pavo asado, relleno de arándanos, cerdos en mantas, arce - verduras de raíz asadas, patatas asadas crujientes y vibrantes verduras de invierno hechas para una imagen - plato festivo perfecto. Cada elemento fue cocinado a la perfección, con el pavo tierno y jugoso, y los lados ricos en sabor estacional. Un brindis de celebración con champán Veuve Clicquot se sumó a la sensación de alegría y reflexión de la ocasión, con un breve discurso del propietario destacando la calidez y el espíritu comunitario de la noche. Ninguna comida festiva estaría completa sin pudín de Navidad, y La Rosa no decepcionó. Combinado con crema de brandy sedoso, fue la máxima indulgencia invernal. En este punto, sin embargo, incluso los comensales más entusiastas admitieron la derrota ya que el gran volumen de comida deliciosa pasó factura. Una vez más, The Rose Pub and Kitchen ha puesto el listón alto para las cenas festivas. Comida excepcional, un ambiente acogedor y toques reflexivos en todo lo hicieron una noche inolvidable. ¡Continúa el año que viene!

Jess & George were amazing!! 10 out of 10 experience

George was a lovely gentleman, roast was chefs kiss
