Sunday strikes 4pm, and I eagerly approach The Rose & Crown (I’m actually Roasting here for a first date *eek*!). A charming gentleman is standing out the front of the bay windows of the pub, after an awkward first hello, we quickly head inside.
The Rose & Crown is a perfect family and friends pub on the corner edge of Stoke Newington. A buzzing atmosphere, a simple North London crowd, with matching dogs of course, the pub certainly is the epitome of a Sunday Roast.
A bottle of red was ordered, and of course… THE ROAST. I went for the Pork, with my date taking the Beef. Now, everyone seems to have a different demand when it comes to a roast, I am little less is more, while others most certainly resonate with portion sizes to the fullest! If you are option B, this is absolutely the place for you! Veggies and meat piling high and spiling over the sides. This is definitely boarding onto classic British roast, rather than Gastropub, which is absolutely fine! All round deliciousness.
And just a final little catch, the pub has a gorgeous boutique guest house (oh and no I didn’t find this out from my date! geez). But a lovely thought if you are heading in from out of town, or looking for a staycation!
Until next Sunday x
