?100 for a meal for two in a pub ?

Its a joke and the laugh is on the punters.

No actually the laugh has been on most of the so called foodies of ED who have been paying prices equivelant and beyond that of some top drawer west end venues. I mean ?100 is ?30each on food ?25 on drinks + vat and tip surely ? I have just walked past one DulwichGastro with main courses at 18.50 and it certainly has not won Gastro pub of london, or even come close.

as the article said about the wine list

"The list could bitch slap most of what's on offer in central London not merely on range but on price"

so hey the starters may be a bit rich, but I am smashed on great wine at a good price, so yes I will have cheese board !

Can someone please help me get that chip off AllForNun's shoulder? It must be awfully heavy.

[dulwichmum]

We had a meal there a couple of weekends ago with friends, and the food and wine list was really outstanding. It is definitely more on a parr with fine dining than gastropub, and if you consider The Rosendale in those terms, it is a bargain. The service was amazing.

We have booked to go soon as we are celebrating a special occasion and thought it would be a nice treat. I am really looking forward to it as we don't get the chance to leave the children behind and enjoy a good meal that often.

No, I mean 'chip on your shoulder' as in the actual meaning of the phrase, not a load of meaningless cobblers. Pay attention now..

"The phrase chip on one's shoulder means having a harboured grievance or sense of inferiority and being quick to take offence"

[AllforNun]

Yes just checked that Bob and you appear to be right. I have also checked about cobblers and apparently they are not meaningless and infact provide a good service to people with shoe problems.

Ps Tillietrotter appears to be narcoleptic, tell her not to fall asleep near the Rosendale or her trotters could end up on the menu.

I promise to work on my chips though

[TillieTrotter]

Just awoke to find myself sans feet. Points finger at Allfornun. Have you sold my trotters to the Rosendale?

[AllforNun]

Thanks Tillie at least someone thinks I can construct a joke x

The Rosendale's mains menu this week:

Minced peacock beak served on a bed of tripe with entrail fricasee

Glazed 'mystery' eyeballs in a hoof sauce, with seasonal vegetables.

Hairy paw pie with giblets, easy over.

Bon appetit!

[dulwichmum]

Mmm I fancy the Hairy paw pie with giblets!

I can cook up a great peacock beak here at home...
