Rose and Crown - Le Lude

Now in new property, but with the same superb management! Welcome is always warm and bilingual, so everyone feels at home. Food has reached a new high excellence. The new owner finances both the renovation and the expansion that the existing... Dining area significantly enlarged and bar room for typical barracks added. I like the fish and chips that are undoubtedly the best in the area and are best available in British coastal areas. My wife had the excellent ribs but needed a bag to bring half of the home I enjoyed the next day. My son went for the burger with onion rings and there was a lot of choice for my daughter who is vegan. Menu for all pallets, good Cornish caught beer, Guinness and a large wine list. If you live within 50K, it is a must and if you are worth a distraction on holiday.

Finally real fish carvings, ie fish cooked in dough at a very reasonable price, also knickerbocker fame as dessert and do not treat surprisingly as in the possession of English people. English beer too. Efficient service (the waitress is bilingual). Clean. You can eat. Open for lunch and dinner. Easy to park. Better to book.

Had a great meal with friend food was excellent, can not thank the staff enough because I don't speak any work of French. Next time in the area, I'll make time to visit the pub.

The Rose and Crown comes as a surprise in the heart of the small town of La Lude. The food here is excellent. We were there for lunch. The English hostess, Lulu, is charming and very welcoming. She speaks fluent French. Some nice beers on...tap and wines to accompany your food followed by really hot coffee. This is a highly recommended place to eat with indoor and outside seating. The Lude Château is nearby which is well worth visiting.

This tonight was my second visit to The Rose and Crown, but with different friends. The menu had changed and included more wonderful dishes to choose from, and there was still the fish and chips in glorious beer batter. it's important to add that the fish is quay side fresh and you can tell, not frozen. I had the lambs liver this time, which was perfectly cooked with bacon and first class gravy. If only our ever first experience of liver was this Good! The mashed potato was fluffy and light and not puréed.. Everything is so reasonably priced and the Bombadier beer was excellent and at a good price too. The ambience was so friendly, we even started talking to a French couple near us as we discussed how good the food was and the excellent service. We're so glad we live only 30 Kms away, but would make the trip from much further.
