...I know its not strictly in ED (or is it?) but we've just had an awesome Sunday lunch in there and wondered why its so quiet when the food is fab and its got a lovely outdoor area (not to mention very nice staff)?


Usually go to The Herne, Clockhouse and The Rye but all were too full.


Had anyone ever heard of The Rose or been there? Just curious as to why so quiet on a lovely Sunday...

great that someone else has been too! Both my husband and I were scratching our heads as to why it was so quiet despite nice surroundings, food and staff. Perhaps although in ED, a little out of the way from the main thorough fare. Will definately be going back.
It was lovely Ken, I had the lamb which was stuffed with spinach and mushrooms. Hubbie had one of their speciality pies with mash and little one had chicken goujons with chips. all flavoursome. with drin ks inc a couple of beers all came to ?30 - very reasonable indeed. Not a big menu on a sunday (basically 3 roasts and seleciton of pies/bar snack) but enough to do it well...

We went for Mother's Day as everywhere else was booked and we had left it late.... everywhere else was booked and this wasnt with good reason!


It was absolutely awful. We waited what seemed like forever, they kept running backward and forward to the shop for ingredients and then when finally serving us our food said they had run out of yorkshire puddings.... Food was grim, lamb was very very fatty, all luke warm. Just generally really bad service and food. They also asked us for matches as the oven had gone out and they couldn't fire it up again.


It felt like an episode of Fawlty Towers!!


The pie was however, pretty good. That said, they are pieminster pies and all they had to do was heat it up, and even that was only luke warm too.

Pies fine with me. They were doing burgers last night that looked ok and apparently the Sunday roast is very good. Bearing in mind most people who use The Herne moan about the food it might be worth a quick stroll up the hill.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
