The Rose, London

This pub has just reopened. It used to be a really rank, beery, football pub but it's totally changed.

The new propretiors have really turned it around and focused more on the food & ambience than lager & crisps - thank goodness!

I went with the family on Sunday and we had a great time. I love my Sunday roasts and the beef was exquisit. Even my 2 girls who are really fussy eaters enjoyed it, although the kids food was a little expensive at �6. Still they cleaned their plates which is better than they do at home so i can't complain.

The pub was quite quiet when we were there, but that's because people are yet to discover it, but that played into our hands and the kids were able to play in on the floor and in the walled-pub garden without bothering the other guests.

The staff were really friendly and looked after us.

All round a great pub and would thoroughly recommend a visit to anyone.
