About This Pub

Ah, The Rose – it's one of those classic London pubs that just draws you in with its welcoming feel and lively buzz. I love how the staff go the extra mile to make sure you're looked after, chatting away and keeping things running smoothly, which really adds to the homely atmosphere. The food's a highlight too; you've got to try their burgers or fish and chips if you're after something hearty and flavoursome, and it's clear from the chatter that the vegan options are a winner for those wanting something different. Plus, with its riverside spot, you can soak in views of Big Ben and then step inside for a relaxed drink – it's ideal for a casual catch-up with mates. On the downside, though, I've heard a few grumbles about the Sunday roast; it sounds like it can be a bit dry or not worth the coin, so maybe steer clear if that's your main draw. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time in the city, as long as you keep expectations balanced and focus on what they do best.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly kind and attentive, always making you feel right at home with their warm service.
  • The food hits the mark with delicious options like the vegan burger, fish and chips, and the burger of the day – proper tasty treats.
  • It's got a lovely atmosphere, with beautiful music, a fun crowd, and a welcoming vibe that makes for a great night out.
  • The location is spot on, right near Big Ben and other London sights, perfect for a stroll and then popping in for a pint.
Cons
  • Some dishes, like the Sunday roast, can be disappointing – think dry lamb or overpriced portions that don't quite live up to the hype.
  • There might be inconsistencies in food quality, as a few folks have mentioned it's hit or miss depending on what you order.

Foods are good, i like the burger of the day, fish and chips is good. A waitress is really beautiful and elegant. They have Sunday roast but only serve on Sunday(of course). Nice view can see Big Ben.

I had a fantastic experience at this pub! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a great mix of locals and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The service was quick and attentive, and the team really went out of their way to ensure everyone was happy. The drinks selection was impressive, especially the craft beers and signature cocktails. I also tried some of the food, and it was delicious—fresh, well-presented, and reasonably priced. Whether you’re popping in for a quiet pint or a fun evening with friends, this place has it all. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back!

Sunday roast not good. Over priced. 5 of us went. Good service I had lamb. It was soft dry I had to send it back. The next lamb came out and wasn't,t much better . Was changed to the pork which was better but for money not good. The chicken friends has was apparently good. Yorkshire pudding was stodgy, could have been more veg. Cauliflower chese exta tasted very processed. Wouldn't return.
