The Rose Crown - Kirklees

This is our second visit. The first time Jackie had a very poor Thai curry. Today we decided to give the Rose and Crown a second chance. Jackie had asparagus warped in palma ham. Very nice. When the chap on the next table received his, it had a cheese sauce over it. NOT ours!!! Main course...... I had gammon. Tough as old boots!!!! How on earth do you overcook gammon? Jackie had chicken something. The chicken was inedible. (Cooked some days ago I suspect) The bar staff were wonderful. When I told them that our food was well below standard, they accepted this. It was as though negative comments were not uncommon. Sorry Rose and Crown. That's our last visit.

Food still Ok here. I don't know why they are trying to charge an energy surcharge when beer and food prices have increased substantially and energy is on the way down?

We were in Thurstonland to visit friends for the weekend and we had breakfast evening meals a total of 4 times over the weekend. The food was excellent. The staff are all friendly and organised and the service is second to none. A fine traditional pub with a proper landlord who knows how to treat his staff and customers. If I could rate it higher, I would.

This is our fifth stay over the past three months and the food continues to excell. Fabulous steak,chips mushrooms onion rings and with 5 beautifully cooked vegetables at the side.Liver and onions with fab mash and gravy wonderful cooking. This pub is the very best for food and selection of drinks and service. A joy to visit Richard his staff and family such a warm welcome.

Chef: You know what you did. Shame on you. The nice dogs and people helped but really, being surrounded by farms raising the finest beef and you served that.
