Rose & Crown has been a tradition since 1983 for me and my family. Now that there is no longer lunch at R&C, we gave Raglan Road a try and I have to say I could kick myself for not booking it years ago. I always do the Bangers and Mash at R&C if they are available but the ones at Raglan Road were better and as much as I like the Sticky Toffee Pudding it's a much smaller portion than it used to be. Much, much smaller! I also have to say the Bread & Butter Pudding at Raglan makes up for the R&C dessert. It's pretty big and absolutely amazing!
Another thing about Ragland Road is the menu which to me is an issue now at R&C. It's much bigger with lots of choices. So much so that just sticking to one entree may be an issue, but IMO that's a good problem to have.
Plus there's the entertainment to consider!
