The Rose Inn - South Kesteven

The food was plentiful but being the only diners in such a large dining room was a biut of a strange feeling on a saturday night. The food was very good though and the service friendly.

Went to the rose inn for a family meal , waited two hours before getting served,(EVEN THOUGH WE BOOKED when the food eventually arrived it was inedible steaks were cremated to the point you could not put a knife through them! Staff unhelpfull and to top it all they ran out of beer including bottled , only thing that was good was the band !! This is definitely one to miss

On saturday we decided to give the rose a try so booked a table for sunday lunch at 4pm for four of us. We arrived at 3.30pm and shown straight to the table there was only one other table occupied. We were then told that there were no sunday roasts left and would have to order from the normal menu. we were asked what we wanted to drink my wife ordered a chardonnay and was told they didnt have any so she settled for a Pinot. We were then told that there were three roasts left but one of us would have to order from the normal menu. Our friend ordered sausage and mash and was told there was no mash left. We then said that in that case we would have our drinks and leave. Nobody offered any apoligy for the lack of food and we were made to feel very unwelcome. We paid for the drinks and left to go up the road to The Goat where we had a good meal. We all live in Deeping but will not be going to The Rose agiain.

This was probably our 3rd or 4th visit to the Rose for sunday lunch.The lunch was superb and you can choose a regular or large plate,depending on your appetite. The large plate lunch is priced at £7.50 which is good value. We had the roast beef which was plentiful and very tender and cooked just right.You then help yourself to vegetables,a good variety was available and again were cooked just right.Starters and sweets are also available,along with other non-sunday lunch pub food and vegetarian alternatives.The only problem we had is that the drinks available were not too good. Two beers I asked for were not available and my wife's wine was pretty awful.I gather that the pub is up for sale/lease and that they are only ordering supplies as required.All in all,a worthwhile visit with a great lunch.

What a wonderful experience !!!! I thought I'd try the Rose Inn again as I'd heard it was under new management goodness me what a change !!! The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble and the food is obviously fresh and very tasty !!!! I will certainly be going back and I will be asking for the pavlova recipe as it is the best I have ever tasted !!! WELL done to the new team and keep up the good work !!!! THANK YOU !!!
