Turkey doesn’t always get the love it deserves—often labelled as dry and dull, it’s the underdog of festive feasting. But not at the Rose and Crown.
Back by popular demand, their spit-roasted turkey special is proving once again that turkey can (and should) be the star of the show.
This isn’t your average roast. Inspired by a Tudor-style banquet, it’s an absolute feast of a dish that’s available every day of the week—because why should Sunday have all the fun? Whether you’re spoiling someone special or simply treating yourself, this is a meal that’ll have you talking about it all season long.
The centrepiece is a spit-roasted turkey that’s been brined for a whopping 72 hours. Add to that a brandy and cranberry glaze and you’ve got a bird so juicy and flavourful, you’ll be wondering why turkey ever got a bad rep in the first place. Seriously, it’s that good.
But it doesn’t stop there. This is a full-on festive feast, and the sides are nothing short of sensational. Think honey roasted carrots and parsnips, perfectly crispy roast potatoes tossed in rosemary, Yorkshire puddings, and sage stuffing. Basically, all the good stuff you’d expect—but somehow even better.
And if you’re feeling indulgent (which, let’s face it, you should be), you’ll want to tack on a couple of extras. The pigs in blankets, coated in that same sticky brandy and cranberry glaze, are non-negotiable. Trust us, you’ll regret not doubling up. And if you’re lucky enough to be there on a Sunday, the cauliflower cheese is an absolute must. Topped with truffle and beef dripping breadcrumbs, it’s gloriously gooey and completely irresistible.
There’s something about this place that just screams Christmas. Maybe it’s the cosy atmosphere, the twinkling festive decorations, or the upgraded bar area that’s as charming as ever. Either way, it’s got the kind of vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer, mulled wine in hand. And speaking of mulled wine, theirs is a winter warmer in the truest sense—rich, fruity, and basically like a hug in a glass.
If last year was anything to go by, this turkey special is going to be popular. The Rose and Crown has nailed the festive feast again, and whether it’s for a midweek treat, a family gathering, or a festive date night, you won’t want to miss it.
Get your table booked and prepare to gobble ’til you wobble. This one’s a cracker.
