What do you like/dislike about Rose & Crown??

[Avery&Todd]

The last 2 trips to WDW I have avoided R&C....I didnt think that there would be something on the menu my boys would eat and frankly I was a little scared to try some of their dishes myself..

But...Im trying to grow as a person..and not just assume that my kids wont try something and maybe if they see me try something new they'll take the hint and try it as well..

I mean, my 9 year old just decided he likes cooked green peppers.... - even I still pick them out of my dishes...

Lets take for example...

"Bangers & Mash"...their menus lists it as..- traditional English sausages, with braised cabbage and bacon, mashed potatoes and shallot gravy $14.99

I can honestly say I like all those ingredients - but do I like them together on the same plate?

and what is a "traditional English sausage" taste like? I usually eat a Brat or a sweet italian sausage on a roll - just grilled onions, hold the green peppers please...

and what exactly is "Yorkshire Pudding" - and does it really contain meat???

Sunday Roast - with Yorkshire Pudding, Roasted Potatoes, seasonal Vegetable, and Shallot Gravy $17.99

For our trip next summer, I should be able to make a reservation and order something delicious, right?

What do you get and what's so tasty about it??

Hi I am English, so I'll try to help you out!!

A traditional English sausage is usually made with pork and beef and tastes much meatier than say a Brat. It is not as smooth a consistency.

A sunday roast is a roasted meat, say beef or chicken, a yorkshire pudding is sort of cake made from a batter mix then cooked in the oven. They are firm on the outside and soft inside. They do not contain meat, they are part of the traditional sunday roast here in the UK. There was a thread on here a couple of weeks back and someone posted a picture of what a yorkshire pudding looks like!

I hope I have helped you a little. Personally as an English person I don't think I would personally eat in "england", but then a chinese person would probably say the same about eating in China - it just wouldn't be the same as home!

I hope you enjoy whatever you choose

We ate here 2x on our last trip b/c we loved it SO much!

I had the vegetarian shepard's pie both times - OH MY GOODNESS! It was heavenly!

We also shared an order of bubble and squeak (fabulous! Cabbage, mashed potatoes..fried. YUM!).

DH had surf and turf one night and I think he had the Filet of Beef the other time. He loved both of them!

We were on the DDP so we had dessert, too. Sticky Toffee Pudding is unbelievable! And I had a lemon dessert the 2nd time.

My boys had FIsh adn Chips and I think pizza??

Anyway, we aren't picky by any means, but we all just LOVED this place! Expand your horizons...just do it

I saw your question and being from Liverpool, UK, I thought it might be nice to answer your question about English food.

First of all, after having eaten in the Rose and Crown in EPCOT, the food is questionably English at best, although they do have a good stab at doing it.

Your first question asks about a traditional English sausage. This unfortunately, could mean anything. Generally, an English sausage is minced (ground) pork, beef or a mixture of the two, squeezed into a round casing (usually intestine like most sausage skins). They are generally six inches or so long with a circumference at least equal to that of a quarter dollar. Compared to a bratwurst sausage, they are shorter and fatter in general.

Now, there are several different types of English sausage, which are defined by their shape and mixture of herb/spices. Having just had a look on Wikipedia, I suggest you look at the articles pertaining to "Lincolnshire Sausage" and "Cumberland Sausage," as I reckon on either of these being served at the Rose and Crown.

Your second question asks about Yorkshire Pudding. This contains no meat whatsoever and are traditionally eaten with beef. They may contain meat by-products depending upon how they are made, but are a simple batter mix made using egg, flour and milk which are mixed together and cooked at very high temperature on a cake tray (which gives a pudding with a hollow centre, that would have a similar size and shape to a ramekin.) These puddings do not really have a distinct taste at all, but depends on how they are made. If you want to know more about these, I would suggest the BBC food website, bbcgoodfood . com (sorry I can't post links yet)

With regard to your question about Sunday roast, Sunday roast is simply a meal that is traditionally eaten on a Sunday afternoon, consisting of a roast meat (usually turkey, beef or gammon.) This is served with any array of vegetables, usually carrots, brocolli, cauliflower, green beans, boiled potatoes, creamed potatoes...pretty much any vegetable. Also with this comes roast potatoes (potatoes cooked in very hot oil usually parboiled first, to give a fluffy texture inside with a crisp oustide,) and gravy (there are so many different variations and ways of doing this, I suggest looking a the BBC website I mentioned earlier.

I hope all this helps, any more questions, don.t hesitate to ask.

Honestly, you sound like too picky an eater to even try it.
Just stick with Liberty Inn counter service.

Just thought I'd open your mind to more than just the main dishes...

I was glad I tried the Scotch Egg appetizer - hard boiled egg caked in a sausage mixture - loved it!

And one of the best desserts - it doesn't look like much, especially since I ordered the sauce on the side... but try the sticky toffee pudding! MMMMM! Just go ahead and get it with the sauce on, as I ended up using my entire cup of it... sooooo tasty!

When I eventually make it back there, these are the two things I would most want to order!


But if you're hesitant with new and different things - and this is true wherever you go - have each person in your party order different things and agree from the start that you will all split what comes out.

DH and I go to Rose and Crown for the Fish & Chips. I know you can get this nextdoor at Yorkshire much cheaper but I prefer a guarenteed seat, since last time we got our fish at Yorkshire we ended up sitting on the wall near the water with the seagulls eyeing our food

 

[Boardwalk Tigger]

I like the view, I dislike the food

 

[brightonpratts]

well the beer is great - and very fun place. I like the fish and chips and so did the kids. I remember the pot pie was good too.

 

[quirty30]

I really wanted to like Rose & Crown, but I hated sitting outside on a really hot day with a badly swollen foot and ankle. I begged for an indoor table, but they said sit outside or leave. I couldn't bear to eat a heavy meal, so I ordered the salad with frisee, Stilton cheese and candied nuts and dried cranberries. And then the shrimp cocktail. Salad was good - shrimp, not so much (it was honestly not cold enough.) Kids both had fish & chips and enjoyed it. Kids had the Royal sundaes for dessert; I had the sticky toffee pudding. The desserts were very enjoyable.

I obviously didn't try the roast, however, I think I can help explain what Yorkshire pudding is. Not really a pudding at all - the closest thing we have in America is called a popover. It's an egg batter baked in a muffin type pan and it puffs up and is usually a bit hollow in the middle. I think they are quite tasty. My mom used to make popovers with Sunday roast and it's very much a comfort food for me. Do a Google image search for either and I think you'll get the idea.

 

[jimmytammy]

We had R&C ADRs on 3 different trips and all 3 times we canceled for fear we wouldnt find something we liked. Last Dec we finally went in and boy are we glad we did! It has become a family fave. DS ordered the Bangers and Mash and we all tasted and loved it. I ordered Sunday Roast and all loved it. Sheperds Pie DD got and we liked it. Only thing we got that was so so was a steak that DW got. She liked Sunday Roast better and would go for it next trip.

I say go, and enjoy!! Dont be like us and keep on missing out

Don't know where your from but it doesn't sound much like England!! The 4 meats traditionally eaten on sundays are beef, lamb, chicken or pork. And it will always be roast potatoes, never boiled or mashed!! (This is the traditional sunday roast, anyway...)

 

[Pugmalion1]

What do I like about Rose & Crown?

Three words: Boddingtons on tap.

 

[sixxmum]

Pugmalion - I can't remember ever having Boddingtons - which seems weird so I'm probably just forgetting. Is there something you might compare it to? I'm a huge Guinness fan, but gave it up after going vegan. Sad.

 

[TDC Nala]

I liked the mussels. I would like to have them again. And beer.

Yorkshire Pudding is neither meat nor pudding. It is a bread, like a popover, that is served as an accompaniment to meat.

Something to compare Boddingtons to... That's tough.

Well, it's kind of a cream ale, and you can taste it. It definitely has a silky mouthfeel. It is very smooth and easy to drink, kind of like Guinness, but it's significantly lighter in color and slightly lighter in gravity. It's pretty freaking delicious.

Oh, and I looked it up. It is indeed Vegan. You should be able to find it pretty much anywhere that has a halfway decent selection of beer, if you want to give it a go. It comes in cans, tall four-packs, and they are typically in a yellow, wrap-around cardboard carton. I'm of the opinion that if you like Guinness, you will like Boddingtons just as much, if not more. It is not to be missed on draft.

I love Rose and Crown - it will always hold a place dear to my heart because as a kid when we went to Disney we always stayed and ate off site. When I was in about 4th grade we went and actually at at Rose and Crown one day for dinner - my first WDE TS!!!

We ate there last summer and I got the Surf and Turf - it was fantastic. The rest of my group got the fish and chips and they loved it. DH especially loved all the different beers. FIL got a beer flight that he loved.

 

[disnutt]

My kids love the names of food. We got the cheese tray appetizer on our first trip to R&C. I was visiting the loo (just to stay in the theme) when it arrived. My 3 kids had picked it clean before I got back. I never got anything!!!

The atmosphere is so much fun. Just trying to keep your server talking to hear their accent is entertaining.
