The Rose Inn Great Wakering - not great at all
We booked an evrning meal at The Rose Inn Great Wakering. We arrived for our meal on time. Upon arrival there were plenty of tables available and the pub did not appear to be under pressure. Notably the pub had run out of some draught beers which appears to happen fairly often at this pub. Thereafter we were virtually forgotten. No menu was brought to our table and after 40 minutes I went to the bar to place our Order. After another 40 minutes I went back to the bar to ask where our order was. Another couple, who arrived after us had eaten their meal and left by this time. After eating our main meal - which was lacking the advertised 'range of seasonal veg' apart from 2 pieces of broccoli- we waited a further 40 minutes before I asked where our sweet was. The 'Eton Mess' consisted of a small sundae glass with two strawberries at the bottom, pink ice cream on top, squishy cream and a tiny piece of broken meringue on top. No sign of the advertised scoops of clotted cream anywhere. In all a deeply disappointing experience from start to finish.
