Our first visit to The Little Rose was for Christmas Day lunch with family and friends. We could not have enjoyed a better experience. We received a warm welcome and the service was perfect. The food was perfectly cooked and delicous. The smoked fish and potato chowderwith cheddar scone was outstanding. The chocolate marquisewas stunning . Generous serving of meat for Christmas lunch. My personal preference is for more vegetables but more are available as side orders. I thoroughly recommend the Little Rose and I verymuch look forward to a return visit .

Family meal after seeing the Panto and it was perfect! We all lived what we ate. The only thing that made it tricky for us is we had to go up a lot stairs with my very old, disabled mum. But we managed. A lovely evening out!
