It was our second visit in this pub and again, food was amazing! Pretty busy and we were waiting a bit for someone to pick up our order but it’s nothing to complain about taking under consideration time of the day and amount of people that staff had to serve. Overall, great visit.

Got seated early which was a plus. Where we were seating was bizarre, asked to move but got told fully booked. Waited 20 minutes for drinks and 40 minutes for starter both of which we had to ask for. Another family asked to be moved and got moved. We asked again to be moved and we’re finally moved. Got served our mains over a hour after we arrived. Then at the end got charged £10+ surcharge which I refused to pay. Not a great dining experience this time unfortunately!!

We have been going to the Rosendale for many years and we love it! During that time it's changed chefs a fair few times. Recently the pizzas have been disappointing. Also the portion size for the pasta was rather small. The staff are always lovely but there are not enough of them and so the service is rather slow. There was a table in the pub area with drunk and noisy people playing a game and shouting loudly. It wasn't until we complained to the staff that the manager asked them to please quieten down. Sure, it's a pub, but the restaurant area is right by the pub area!

I had a nice lunch but my friend’s fish was off and the replacement ravioli was very meagre for £15.50

The roasts we wanted weren't available but we were there late in the day so understandable. We had our second choices (me: fish and chips, partner: pork) and they were lovely. And filling!

The staff in particular the female staff very rude, frosty no understanding consideration for children. They are totally unreasonable expecting my young children to walk all the way around the building to access the garden then what is the purpose of the side doors. This is my local pub and more often i experience the same frosty unwelcoming behaviour from the staff.

We visited Rosendale on 22nd Dec so it was in a good atmosphere. We wanted vegan Wellington but it wasn't available at 1.30pm so that was a disappointing, however we didn't know we needed to book for the Christmas party menu. It took some time for the main to be served but it was good in all.

Absolutely amazing Christmas dinner although the creme brulee lacked pistachio and wasn't that deep but the real issue was the service. Confusion over the booking when we arrived and then sat us at the wrong table. But worse was the waiting between each course or even to be given a drinks menu. It was just too long. We were out for 2 hours, we only get an hour for lunch!! And what makes that worse is that we pre-ordered the lunch menu so why did it take so long? Needless to say, we won't be coming again.

Rude front of house staff when we were trying to get our family organised, very stressed waitresses, rushed us to leave just as soon as people were eating, food absolutely mediocre, turkey dry, potatoes not fresh and dry also, only good thing about this place was the gravy. Would never return. Such rude staff.

The food is really nice at the average price for London. However, despite the fact that there were lots of waiting staff, it was very difficult to get anyone's attention whenever we need to ask for something.

Good great, service great, children continually running up and down. Spoilt the evening. We left after food and only had one drink. Not anti kids but running around? How about no children after 7pm? Noise level was ridiculous. May be worth investing in acoustic buffers ( I work in construction) Unlikely to visit again I'm afraid. Shame as the food was great
