Why do you like Rose and Crown?

[pinkerbell]

ok, so i relize i never commented on the food... I liked it, more than many other meals, lets face it, diz is BIG on salmon and I must have had it 7 different ways at that point... I don't do beef and this chicken was GREAT!, hubby liked his too, the desert was good as well. We also ate at the contemporary, coral reef and leCelier to name a few, now maybe it's because I don't eat beef, but how much red meat can any one person consume??.. I was pleasantly surprised..

I don't like it anymore.

I used to love it for the Cottage Pie and the Chicken Pasty, but they're both off the menu.

Cottage Pie was still on the lunch menu when we were ther in September. Did they take it off completely?

We ate there last spring break and didn't think the food was that great, we had a party of 8 and not one dish was anything to write home about. My fish n chips were extremely greasy!

Oh yes I am English .English Fish & chips are extremely greasy! The newspaper used to absorb some of that but the Health Dept put a stop to that ! In my oppinion ruining good ol' Fish & chipsI make my own shepherds pie and yorkshire puddings both of which DGKs love. I haven't tried the Rose & Crown in Epcot although I've visited many Rose & Crowns in England

Well, if it's ordinary and overpriced, why is always full of British people?

We noticed the same thing on our last trip. DD and I were the only Americans in our area. DH is English and loves to go there and particularly loved hearing all his countrymen sitting around him.

I enjoy going, as well. I'm especially fond of a nice plate of bangers and mash and a Harp.

It may seem ordinary to someone who lives in the UK but DH likes his little taste of home. He's lived here since the 70's and we go visit every couple of years.

DH and DS (now that he is 21!) love the beer and enjoy the food; I manage to find something tolerable to eat. We all enjoy the quiet location along the lagoon. Every trip DH specifically requests this restaurant and since he is not a Disney fan I willingly give in!

Actually, the restaurant is good, but I must agree... the fish & chips from the take-out window are GREAT!

Always a favorite in my family...

Cottage Pie is still on the menu. We just ate there last Sat., 12/1.

I'm an ex-pat. Lived in US for 11 years. While I enjoyed my meal at R&C it's actually quite amazing how much of this stuff I can get at chain restaurants in Maryland, no really!! It has become very Americanized. I think the UK pavilion has succeeded and joined the US pavilion. I think they could do a lot to make the menu more British, but as I guess they are catering for a predominantly US market it's been kind of skewered. However. I will say the sticky toffee pudding is amazing.

This is kind of my bug bear/bee in my bonnet. Any thread asking about R&C and I'll moan!!! Don't mind me. You can get a great meal there, I'm just dubious about the British tag. But then you could probably say that about most ethnic foods too.

The outdoor seating is the best thing about this restaurant. As you said, English food isn' t the tastiest. I usually have Shepards Pie and a beer. It has a beautiful view.

We love the Bangers and Mash . We've been to England and I really enjoy talking to the servers. With the exchange rate as bad as it is Rose and Crown is as close to England as I'm going to get!

It is one of my favorite places to eat in Epcot.

Now if they really were trying for authentic you would have to have roast beef boiled potaotoes, boiles cabbage and yorkshire puding as a meal for supper. For lunch pork pie and pickled onions,or a nice cornish pasty, then you could always have marmite sandwiches. Dessert should include sherry trifle, now I'm relly getting hungry
