"after we had visited the fish eels for a lunch week during the summer and a nice time we had thrilled to take friends again. how disappointed we were. we went on a Saturday night, expected it really busy and were surprised to find the place quite empty. we sat very fast and drinks brought by and that was the fastest service we had all night. do not misunderstand me, the serving staff were really friendly and tried their best, but I think they always forget about us how to go and ask for objects a few times. we ordered the mezze of the Sharing plates and asked for mezze for 4. When this arrived, it was a Sharing plate for 2, which the waitress thought we would share between 4! so another one was ordered quickly, but this took at least 10 minutes to get out, ok this shows it is fresh made, so can not really complain that, but the warm pittas and objects on the other plate ran cold while we waited for the other. Once we finished our ancestors, the waitress arrived to delete the tellers that told us our nets were ready and asked if we wanted to stop them. not to desire food that must be kept more than likely warm, we said to bring it out directly. the chips were cold and had to be returned. the sweet thing that came with him was just about warm. I ordered king linguine from the special menu and when this arrived the portion size was tiny, I asked if it was an initial size that should be said that this was the normal size. the waitress said she would ask if something could be done, and my partner offered to pay for each extra if that was the problem. to be fair, they have the part above and no additional fees. when our desserts finally arrived (we had to remind them that we were still there) the eton mess was exactly what a chaos no fruits as indicated in the menu! we received free coffee as an excuse for the bad meal. unfortunately we will not return."

"we had not visited the rose and the krone in one because, so decided to go on Easter Sunday at midday. this pub has always given a good service, but this time we were very disappointed! first they brought us two meal times that we had not ordered, for a few who sat on the other side of the restaurant. we ordered truthahnbrust without carrots and a part of the cauliflower cheese, and pork without extras. it came and we found that they had put carrots on the truthahn and not on the vernacular. then I realized that I had no filling with the truthahn. there were no waiting staff on the floor and after a few minutes you came out of the kitchen, so I asked him about the filling and also the flower cabbage I had ordered. he went to the kitchen to get the missing items. after a few minutes he returned with both. at this time I was halfway through my lunch. I found that my brokkoli was so hard, it was impossible ro cut. the waiter came and asked if everything was in order with our meals. we explained the problems we had, and he answered that he would go and sort what we found strange, how we had already eaten! They could not say that they were busy. we booked for 12.00 clock, so there were only a few people we arrived. they seemed to have only 2 waiters, there were no one on the floor to treat problems with food or drink, they should arise. we never have a statement or an apology from someone. the rose and the crown were always something very special to us. we always had a good service and good eating in the time we were before. this was so disappointing, especially as we booked it a few weeks ago and we look forward to it. I think we need to look for another special restaurant for the future. that is really upsetting me!"
