"A simple but yet fantastic gastro pub The rose and crown is located in the centre of ulverston. The staff. Polite, helpful and friendly they contribute to a very warming atmosphere and engage well with the locals and tourists The food. I had the king prawn starter with chilli and garlic. Great portion, extremely tasty and great value for the price. My only problem was that I couldn’t get enough of it. My main was the panko chicken burger, the chicken was moist the panko batter was perfect, it came with skin on fries and onion rings which accompanied it perfectly (I declined the slaw and veg). The venue The Rose Crown is what a small town pub should be quiet and unassuming from the outside with a very quaint look to friendly and full of atmosphere on the inside. I can understand why the locals enjoy it Overall I will definitely be coming back and wouldn’t just recommend it to friends but I will be suggesting a visit next time I am here with friends."

"This is not a review of the food, as I didn't eat. Nor is it the accomodation, as I didn't stay. It is a review of a pint of Guinness I had there today. Tuesday afternoon, nice and quiet.. popped in for a pint. £5.10p. Very reasonable. Unfortunately downhill from there. I'll bullet point the problems.. to avoid a drawn out affair.. 1. The glass wasn't dry. You can tell this from the creeping mottled effect visible. 2. The head is about 5mm 3. There is Guinness spilt down the outside of the glass. 4. It tasted utterly awful. The first three problems on this list are forgivable.. but the last isn't. I've had many pints of Guinness, in many places.. but this was in the bottom 3. Very disappointed. Given that you can buy a four pack from the supermarket for roughly the same outlay.. people bemoan pubs going out of business... but do we ask why? Bartenders being able to pour/keep a decent pint helps.."

"On reading the reviews I decided it was best to book a table and this proved to be advisable as it was very busy. On entering it was very hot and busy. I had asked for a quiet table and this was provided, however it was Table 11 which meant waitresses going behind you to get crockery etc and diners using the facilities. The chairs were a bit low for me and seemed to skid quite easily, however they were comfortable enough. The service and food was excellent. We were looked after by a couple of waiting staff, all very polite and helpful. The drinks order was taken first, hubby had a non-alcholic beer, our friend had an Appletizer and I asked for a GLASS of dry white wine, unfortunately however as it was so noisy that waitress must have misheard and a bottle with three glasses arrived. However when we pointed this out, no problem, the waiter was very apologetic and just took them away and came back with the correct order. We were there for a celebratory meal. We decided to have starters and opted for the sharing platter of what was really a sort of charcuterie platter. All very nice, but quite large for a starter. For our main courses my husband had the Homemade Lasagne and I opted for the Milano Betulla's (a chicken, mushroom, onion and pasta dish). Both were delicious. I don't usually opt for anything with onion in it, but this was good, just enough onion to give it crunch and flavour but not too much. My only comment is that the portions were HUGE. Personally I would have preferred to have had half the portion with a small salad to accompany them. I had to leave half of mine. Our friend opted for one of their pizzas. This was a good size and he said it was one of the best pizzas he had ever had. Hubby and friend decided to go for a dessert, of the cheesecake of the day. They said it was nice but way to chocolatey for them. I was too full but needed something to cool me so had a dish that had ice cream where you poured espresso coffee over it and that did help with the digestion. All in all a very pleasant experience and I would recommend, but would advise booking, especially during the holiday seasons."

"Pre booked a table online as I wanted the table for a family retirement meal for my Mum, added into the comments a request to have a couple of bottles of fizz and sharing dessert for our party (which nobody acknowledged), I called a couple of days before to arrange this and pay upfront, I was told we would have two bottles of fizz and 6 glasses ready for us on the table on arrival we didn 't why? Awkward as then the waitress is coming over asking what we want to order to drink I was planning on surprising my Mum with the fizz. Sharing dessert I 'm not sure if there was a miscommunication between us as when it arrived after the meal I 'd question how many people were sharing the dessert. I 've been to the Farmers plenty over the years for food and it 's always been pretty decent, it 's always a good atmosphere etc. Unfortunately on this occasion the food was pretty poor. Two of us ordered the 'tandoori ' chicken kebabs so bland, I 'd question whether the chicken had ever seen any sort of marinade/spice mix. Rice was tasteless and there was a pitiful number of chips for a 'half half ' portion. Mussels again commented on the portion of chips served on the side tight. Fish dish was small but aren 't they always and the Cajun chicken and brisket meals were fine. A shame overall as like I said it 's always a good atmosphere and it is a nice place interior wise. I wouldn 't rush back unfortunately."

"I paid $4.70 for a small portion of very yellow chips and a warm Holland's pie that was not hot. It wasn't the best value for the price. Both the pie and chips tasted bland. The service was okay but not very inviting. I understand that you can't expect much for under five dollars, but I might consider trying somewhere else next time. It seems like they don't have much competition since Bar Conti down the street appears to be closed."
