Sept 08	Rose Tavern Pub Sunday Lunch	38	8	4	4	3	4	4	One of the most disappointing Sunday lunches we ever had - the Mozarella was - so trh waiter said: "fDanish, from Cash and Carry". I asked for Turkey dinner specifically without the sausage and bacon wrap and it was on my plate along with port stuffing that i said I did notw ant. The "rut roast" did not seem to contain nuts and was mostly rice. Disappointing at £12.95 for 3 courses. Avoid this place.
