We ate at the Rose and Crown two weeks ago. We had a 7:50PM reservation, and we got there early, ordered the first of what would be many pints of Bass, and told the hostess that we were willing to wait for an outdoor patio table. In about 10 minutes we got a beautiful lakefront table and stayed there for the show, culminating in dessert after the show and a stroll to the exit in a virtually empty park.
Best night of our trip.
