It's not Chefs de France, but it is still very good. The desserts are actually pretty incredible.
I believe Rose & Crown puts Chefs de France to shame. IMHO!
I have to give Rose and Crown an exceptionally large round of kudos for exceptional service and great authentic British fare.
I was amazed by the presentation of the cheese plate at Rose and Crown; each cheese was presented as a miniature work of art on a platter of three cheeses (great taste, authentic to England and artisan quality) and seasonal fruit, flatbreads were also served on the side.
As a comparison/contrast:
Chefs de France was such a disappointment; as a comparison, the cheese plate offered five cheeses (poor quality, average flavor and seemed to be mass produced) with a few grapes. Presentation of the French cheeses was poor also; five wedges put on a plate with little thought given to arrangement or eye appeal.
Service was also superior at Rose and Crown. We had a very attentive server who seemed glad to have us as her customer a 8:45pm. At Chefs de France, we were ignored and treated like carriers of some strain of infectious disease. When we voiced our concerns to the server, he informed us of how hard his day had been......excuse me, but I am a customer and that should never be mentioned to me. I digress!
As for dessert, I would be remiss if I neglected to recommend the toffee pudding......Yum Yum Yum. And the Guiness Chocolate Cake.....Yum Yum Yum. And the apple crisp..... Yum Yum Yum.
I think you get the picture!!!!
Go to Rose and Crown and enjoy a taste of the English countryside!
