Breakfast-- Fresh peaches in the room!
Lunch--Rose & Crown
We have gone to R&C just about every trip since 1991. Mikey is a huge fish & chips fan, so we thought we would repeat.
It was hot as Hades again, so we arrived a bit early for our 1:25 lunch ADR. They had just started the street players, so we watched the show--"It was RUBBISH!!!!"
When we received our little pager, she asked if we were willing to sit inside. I asked for inside and she said it might take longer. Well, I should be careful what I ask for! We were seated JUST inside the door, right next to the pub swinging door entrance. Good location for people watching, but right beneath the HUGE A/C blower. We were shivering by the end.
This meal was going to be out of pocket because all I wanted was a bowl of potato and leek soup. The menu looked to be newish....
Mikey got what he was jonesin' for--Fish & Chips--
He said it was delicious, but I don't think he surfaced for any breath until the last of his peas were gone. I did sneak a chip (I'm allergic to fish, so I couldn't try that) and they were SO good!
My soup was delish. It was just as I remember it. It was creamy and hot, with crispy leeks and a drizzle of some infused oil on top. It also came with some rolls and butter which were divine.
My intention was to get a bowl, but when I saw a certain side dish, I really wanted to try it. So a cup it was!
I HAD to have the cauliflower au gratin. The first little dish came out and I dug into it. It was cold in the middle. Our server, Daniel, seemed surprised that it was cold since the outside of the ceramic dish was so hot. Well, he returned it to the kitchen and I finished my soup. Then the second helping of au gratin came out--
It was so full of flavor! The cauliflower wasn't frozen--it was fresh and just BARELY cooked. It still had a snap to it. The sauce was made with an Irish cheddar and had a boatload of dry mustard in it. The topping was simple bread crumbs and chives. It was SO good! I ate about half of it, but just eating a bowl of cheese and veg is hard to get through without a salad or something to break it up. Mikey was more than happy to help me out and he finished the other half.
Our meal was super cheap! $23.96 plus tip. It went on my room charge.
Snack--Can you believe it? I went to my precious Norway for my namesake, Schoolbread, and I didn't take a pic! Mikey got a sweet pretzel and I got the schoolbread. Total $7.99. Then we popped over to the Joy of Tea for our must-have-each-trip-peach iced tea (told you we were tea people!!!). That was a whopping $9.06. Last time, they didn't take snack credits here, but now they do. Unfortunately, I figured that out AFTER I put it on my room charge. At $9.06 for two, it would have been a good bang for the credit.
I would give Rose and Crown three Miss Piggy's
