I've never been to England before, but I've been to a few English pubs and one (1) English Pub styled restaurant, and Rose and Crown is exactly what I envisioned. It was 24 NOV 2021, and we were looking for a very light (late) lunch, as it was already after 3:00 PM and we didn't want to ruin our appetites for dinner. Compared to most of the other sit-down restaurants in Disney, this Epcot restaurant's wait list was actually less than 30 minutes, which in Disney, is not that long at all. We were initially hesitant upon waiting but after looking at all of the positive Yelp reviews, including New Orleans' own "John L. H.", we decided to give it a try.
I decided to keep it light and tried the Scotch Egg appetizer, which is a golden-fried hard boiled cage-free egg wrapped in sausage with a mustard sauce. This was a perfect snack/light lunch to get me through to dinner. I would have preferred it served a little warmer, but all in all this was a good appetizer. My wife wasn't that hungry, so she got a bowl of butternut squash soup, which I can personally say was quite good. My son opted for the kid's grilled chicken with peas, rice & gravy and mashed potatoes. This was very solid for a kid's meal and we were really impressed. His meal even came with a dessert. The English Trifle was delicious and consisted of layers of strawberries, vanilla custard, graham crackers and whipped cream. I highly recommend it.
Although we did not opt to imbibe on a few pints, I can see myself enjoying a pint of ale here and being "magically" transported to England. The restaurant and pub look authentic and the décor seems to be spot on; even though I've never been to England.
Rose and Crown is solid and I would definitely say it rates 4-stars. However, our server Andreina is who made this a 5-star review. If I remember correctly, her nametag stated she was from Venezuela and she was very nice. She was very engaging in conversation with me and my family, but never seemed to neglect any of her many tables. She was always checking on us (and her tables) and was a true pleasure. Not only was she the absolute best server we experienced in Disney, she was the best server we have experienced in a long long time. For someone as young as she is, she has mastered her craft and is a huge asset to not only Rose and Crown, but to all of Disney! If you opt to eat here, and I recommend that you do, ask to be seated in Andreina's section!
