After a couple of critical reviews for hotels I’ve stayed at recently, given our evening at rose and crown I felt compelled to write a more positive review. We booked the rather pricey fireworks dinner package which I think was over 250 quid for my family of 3 (step daughter age 10). We are English so always funny going to English themed restaurants abroad to see how they compare - the sparking duchess bubbly was delightful. To be honest the service was 5 star. I hope I’ve remembered this correctly but I’m sure it was Katie looking after us. She was wonderful - not OTT cheesy happy service, just did an excellent job and was so lovely. We had scotch egg and fish and chips and wasn’t half bad! The fish in particular was great. An apocalyptic storm hit at 850pm and the show was actually cancelled but even with all that I still give this 4 star as hardly their fault! And they looked after everyone so well. Several of the children and adults screamed at the loudest bang of thunder I’ve ever heard and the staff were wonderful, checking in on everyone and keeping the drinks flowing. A great night that didn’t end up how we thought it would but good food, great service and a storm to remember!
Family visit to watch the fireworks ,thought it was a bit expensive but was advised these were prime seats for the fireworks with a set meal with drinks at $90 pp. The choice was limited scotch egg or soup to start. I had the soup which was in fact quite nice but when it was delivered in a small plastic bowl with the cutlery wrap in serviette no bread just a plastic bowl I knew there was no airs and graces with this meal.I had shepherds pie for main course which came in stainless steel curry bowl was disappointing sloppy mash on the top of a mixture of mince and veg.Other members of the family had the fish and chips the batter on the fish was dark and crunchy when cutting into it there was hardly no fish and soo over done. My granddaughter had the chicken masala, a dry piece of chicken sitting on rice ,so dry. We were thinking what have we done $90 per person unbelievable.The service was terrible she was totally out of her depth when she did return to see the food left on the plates she asked if we wanted a box!!! We complained She asked if we wanted something else when telling her no she left the table not taking anything away returning 10 minutes later with the trio of small deserts( which is the only choice.)She tried then to find some place to squeeze in the plates around the full dinner plates abandoned on the table. That was the final straw and we went to the management to complain. We left the restaurant totally disappointed yes we had good seats for the fireworks but we spent that time deliberately what we were going to do with this meal. They wiped the bill and apologised,worst pub grub ever.
Being from England, I felt like we had to give this a go just to see what it was like. It was themed reasonably well, almost a bit like a Wetherspoons and it was a nice touch to have British Barman through the exchange program. I will however say that if you did order a Bud Light back home in a place like this, you wouldn't last five minutes! The beer choice is not very authentic but I can imagine licensing issues and shipping costs play a factor. Nonetheless a fun bar/eatery.
Wonderful people , awesome cast members.
The service in general was really bad. The waitress that attended us, Layota, had a both systematic and problematic way of picking up the order. Also, me and my party faced many unconfortable moments when dealing with her, what I think is extremely unacceptable specialy coming from a Disney employee. Besides, the two fish n’ chips we ordered were really greasy and were not value for the money we paid.
During our trips to visit family in Ireland, we enjoy visits to the pubs for the relaxed fun atmosphere. Although we (over the years on family trips) have enjoyed all of Disney and many of the restaurants, when we have a chance we like to stop by the Rose and Crown for a pint (or two) followed by dinner. For this visit we were at Disney for a week with our grandchildren. One night while the kids were with their mom and dad, we headed over for some drinks and dinner at the Rose and Crown. It was clear there were staffing challenges, things were not as normal. Notwithstanding that, our server Yani made it a very nice dinner. If you want a pint and some good food at Disney, give it a try.
This local was awesome. The food options felt authentic to Great Britain, the Welsh Burger was phenomenal!! Best chips I have ever had too, and that is saying something! The theme and mood felt like a traditional British pub, all around will go back for sure.
The Strongbow was nectar...not my chosen poison but really hit the mark but we ordered a fish and chips between us. Park price was just under $14 and frankly worth every cent!!! Not many tables and it is a noisy British pub. It's pretty authentic. Chips were very decent, the fish was 2 pieces and beautiful. Crisp batter, tasty fish and hot!! Is pretty cold in there, also very British and considering it's 30c+ outside it's very nice. Very much recommend!!
Super delicious food! We haven't the best platter of fish and chips until today! They were so hot, crispy and had a delicious beer batter flavor. The cheese plate was good too. We loved the caramelized onions in jam, and the fruit jam that was with the blu cheese. We have been wanting to come to the Rose and Crown since 2019 and I'm glad we finally came. Really worth it.
The food was amazing and all three of us loved it, I had the bangers and mash and the sticky toffee pudding and I'd say it was the best meal we had in Disney World. We had a lovely Scottish server who was very friendly and checked in on us frequently, always trying to make us laugh. The only downsides were that it was incredibly noisy from the pub section, as a bunch of people had come in wanting to have a drink from every part of Epcot who were incredibly loud, and that we couldn't use our dining credit due to a system error. In fairness, our server and the manager both tried their hardest to make it work. We'd definitely love to come back. The building looked beautiful and the location around it was stunning.
