The Rose Pub & Kitchen in Lewisham

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

Excellent place for a drink or pizza if you are in the New Cross area. Highly recommend the vegan pizza 🌱 lovely staff too. Check it out!

Great speedy bar service. Nice beer garden out back. Could do with more foliage!

I moved to the area a few months ago, and I can honestly say this place is by far the best amongst the other pubs nearby. The staff are always friendly and welcoming which is always appreciated. I just want to pass my particular thanks to Mark, whom I have come across on a few occasions. Always been friendly and helpful from a genuine place; it's been good to have little chats with him. Solid spirit selection behind the bar, and great food too. The best around for sure.

Had a great Sunday lunch, and looked after really kindly and patiently by Elliott.

Holly J has always provided excellent service. We always feel welcome. Thank you to all the staff at the Rose

Holly J is friendly and helpful, always smiling and gives 5* service. Thank you Holly

Holly J, an excellent human in all respects. Honestly we've been misusing the term "beer wench" for at least 300 years, property excellent.

I was in here the other day, Ben was a wonderful server, extremely attentive to my many needs and made sure I was serviced well. I enjoyed my time here a lot, I think that Ben is truly wonderful, he has a glimpse of mischief in his eyes, but his heart is pure gold! I hope to return soon and admire his many talents, his architecture career fascinates me and I was glad to hear all about it. I wish him all the best that life has to offer. he is one of life's true gems :)

Ben made my week, my month, my year, maybe my life. His girthy persona resonated with my mind’s eye and enlightened my spirits that had been fizzling like a sparkler on a New Year’s Eve night. Please give him to me next time, exactly like last time. Just like that. Please.

Great food. Very accommodating with gluten free options. Lovely service x

Elliott was a fantastic server, very polite and accommodating. The food was amazing, had a great family Sunday lunch.

Elliott is a great server, very kind and always checking everything's OK, I hope to have him again one day when I come back ☺️ I loved the food and highly recommend the pineapple margarita

Unfortunately have to agree with other reviewers about the massive drop in quality of the Sunday roast recently. This used to be one of my favourite roasts in London, I dont know if the kitchen staff or owners have changed but the food is much lower quality now than it was 6 months ago. Potatoes and beef have been overcooked the last few times, carrots raw and the cauliflower cheese has gone from bone dry a few weeks ago to a completely different recipe now that has nothing on their previous one. Disappointing as it’s no longer worth the price and I probably won’t be returning

Great service (Tabitha), family friendly. Excellent food

Keru is really friendly and always ready to serve us as customers, he’s a great addition to the team

Great server, super friendly & helpful & fun. So refreshing. Thanks Elliott!

Had a lovely Sunday roast the other week! Great to have a veggie option and service was fast and friendly. We were served by Meg who was lovely and looked after us really well!!

Great service from Elliot, thank you!

I ordered the chicken roast dinner. The roast potatoes were luke warm but overcooked which is a clever trick. So im guessing they were cooked earlier and kept under heat or reheated. If it was £10 in a Weatherspoons i would have been disappointed but at around £17 it was not good at all.I wouldn't recommend roasts there. two roast meals and a pint of cider was £40

We brought our Belgian friends to the Rose for their first roast experience- they were impressed! Thanks George for looking after us.

Served by a lovely girl Meg who was so caring to my family and myself. She also recommended us the margaritas which went down a treat!

Had a wonderful afternoon out, made particularly special by our lovely server. Scottish girl, I believe her name was Isla.

Favourite pub in SE London! Servers are always a good time and have a laugh! Spike was great. Thanks!!

Recently discovered this place, the atmosphere and service is probably the best we have found in this part of London. One particular member of staff stood out from the others, very friendly, knowledgeable and such great service with a smile. We didn’t catch her name (but we think it was Tabby?) but certainly will return and recommend this place to our friends.

I love the rose !! It’s a local spot for me and my friends and every time we’re guaranteed a fab night ! What’s more, it’s always brilliant service from Meg :)

Literally best vibes ! Had a few drinks and was served by the ginger girl think her name was Meg. She was unreal and gave exceptional service, defo coming back :)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Aram was amazing! 5/5 service!!

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

George was great! Fantastic service!

Good food, lovely service - thanks George!

George was especially wonderful

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

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

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

I would like to give our server george 5 stars

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

Thank you for the excellent service George

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

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

Mark was a lovely, attentive, good natured bartender

Thankyou mark for the amazing table service !!

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 pub! Holly J is an amazing staff member.

Holly J was an amazing server! Made the evening

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

Great pub, and Holly J was lovely!

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!

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