The Rose (1 Harwood Terrace, London, SW6 2AF)

We recently moved into the area and decided to give The Rose a try, although we were slightly apprehensive as it had once been a decidedly average local pub.

Very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is relaxed but bubbly and fun. The staff are excellent: wellinformed on the menu, friendly and enthusiastic. Cooking was of a good standard within the expectations of a local pub, with a fair selection that was good value for money. Wine list was not massive but well selected and again good value. Also a good selection of beers.

The Vineyard at Stockcross (Stockcross, Newbury, Berkshire, RG20 8JU)

The Stockcross was a big disappointment. The building itself looks and feels more like a Travelodge than a luxury resort. Service was well meaning but hopeless – it seemed mainly due to the manager who was constantly micro managing the staff but giving bad direction. The sommelier however seemed to be ignoring the manager and was excellent, we particularly enjoyed the totally blind tasting from a black wine glass.

The food was mixed. Classic dishes were executed perfectly and were absolutely faultless. However, it went wrong when the chef started experimenting as we found his selections to have poor combinations of flavours. A great shame as the effort and skill in preparation was excellent.
