The Rose Crown Pub Dining Room

The Rose Crown is a great restaurant and it's one that we will definitely return to on our next visit. We had been to the pub side before just for drinks, but we were able to snag a late dinner here on our most recent trip last month and we really enjoyed ourselves. We had a nice beer flight and Indigo Hibiscus cocktail and our drinks were very tasty. My wife had the Shepherd's pie and I had the fish and chips and both of these were cooked perfectly and were very filling; we love seeing places that have a small menu since that usually means they make those items well and that is definitely the case here. The best part of the meal though was getting to talk to our waiter, David. He was a blast and we loved getting to know him. We would definitely recommend that people try to sit in his section as he's very personable, provides excellent service, and was just a great guy. The Rose Crown is a wonderful restaurant at Epcot and we'll definitely be back!

I have been to Epcot thousands of times but never had eaten at the UK Pavillion. They say is at their terrace facing the lagoon. Their menu is not that elaborate. They only have you to choose from 4 main courses. For starters we ordered the Scottish Egg, hard boiled egg coated with sausage and friend. It was pretty good. For main entree I ordered the Bangers and Smash, which is mashed potatoes with two traditional sausages on top with mushrooms, onions and browns gravy. This was my favorite dish. Lots of good flavors. We also ordered the traditional fish and chips. Three big pieces of fish (I believe it was cod) friend fries and tartar sauce. The fish taste good but felt it had too much beet battered. You could barely see the fish. We did not order dessert as I wanted to try other places in the park. Not sure if I will return again but only for the sausage dish. You can also order the fish and chips on the counter and not sit in the dining room.

This is a great choice for dinner at the United Kingdom Pavilion. We were in the mood for British pub food, and they totally delivered. It was easy to make a reservation through the My Disney Experience App. Checking in online was also a breeze. They'll text you when your table is ready. The restaurant closes after lunch, but reopens again at 4 pm for dinner. Our table was ready in no time. We were seated inside. They do have outdoor seating if desired. Jack was very welcoming, and offered some great suggestions. We were definitely there for the fish chips. There was malt vinegar on the table ready to be splashed onto the fish. I thought about getting the Snake Bite Imperial Pint, but I was more thirsty than anything. I just needed some water. Maybe next time. The fried fish here is amazing. We were told that the fish served was Hake. There are 3 pieces to a dinner portion. They are huge and tender pieces of fish. I love that they are beer-battered and crispy. They give you plenty of lemon wedges, and a cup of tartar sauce and ketchup for the chips. The tartar sauce was also delicious. I just wish they had a smaller plate option with just 2 pieces of fish. I couldn't eat the 3rd one. The couple next to us was smart by sharing one order. We should have done that. The chips were just okay. It was thick like steak fries. I prefer them to be thinner. Is it authentic? Yes, very close. The only difference is that they don't have the skin on them (which I like). Maybe because I like the plaice chips better than the cod chips. My husband said the fish chips at Rose Crown were better than the ones in England. They were pretty darn good. I'd totally get it again, but we'll split it next time. We didn't stay for the Sticky Toffee Pudding. We'd already had a flight of caramels earlier that day. I definitely want to try it next time. The service was great! The restaurant was clean. Everything was really good. I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner.

I've become vegetarian since my last review and was happily surprised to discover a version of the shepherd's pie made with Impossible meat which can be easily made vegan by omitting cheese, as our server so helpfully pointed out. I wasn't too sure what to expect but the flavor was excellent!

On the first few times I came to EPCOT, I did not realize how much of a dining destination it was. Had to rectify that on this trip, one restaurant at a time! Had to start with the Rose Crown Dining Room, since I loved Yorkshire County Fish Shop's fish and chips. Of course, I had to get the Fish Chips here! I was actually impressed with the fish. It was like the perfect amount of batter, but still with a healthy serving of cod that came with it. Batter wasn't too overwhelming and was flavored well. Plus the fries were actually true British-style chips, very thick with plenty of potato. My girlfriend got the Shepherd's Pie and it was quite delicious as well! Service was great! I love how all the country pavilions here are staffed by people that are actually from that country. So cool to be served by actual English folk. I had high hopes for Rose Crown Dining Room and it did not disappoint! Very glad to have finally had the opportunity to dine here.
