Originally a Victorian coaching inn, The Rosendale today is a magnificent public house serving simple, seasonal and sustainable food. Our meat is from the highest quality suppliers. Our vegan and vegetarian dishes could convince the staunchest of carnivores and our stone-baked pizzas made with artisan British charcuterie and cheeses are not to be missed.
We are also very proud of our excellent range of local ales, award-winning wines and innovative cocktails. Located in leafy West Dulwich, we have extensive gardens featuring a climbing frame for children and table tennis and boules for adults, as well as a handsome bar, elegant dining room and two beautiful private rooms ideal for parties.

Booked a table at very short notice, so accommodated in the Back Garden. Seat coverings and heaters provided to mitigate against the bitter temperatures.
Absolutely first Class waiting from Beth - who remained friendly, efficient and attentive throughout - in spite of having to attend to a large pool of tables.
Food was good - excellent sharing dish of baked Camembert - certainly more than enough for two! The roasts were greatly appreciated. Fish and chips better than a lot (but had possibly spent a minute or two too long in the deep fryer).
Finished with Irish coffee - which was a little weak

Thank you Alex, Curtis and the whole team at The Rosendale! We had a great time yesterday at the combined adult and children's birthday we were hosting upstairs in the West Room. (As did all our guests). We really appreciate all your help in the lead up to the day, and of course at the event itself. The staff helping on the day were all so friendly, professional and welcoming to both the adults and kids. And, the food, drinks and all the service were fantastic (as usual, as we've come many times before for lunch and drinks). Thank you all so much, we look forward to coming back again!

We had a wonderful wedding reception at The Rosendale. Curtis and the team were amazing! Everything ran incredibly smoothly, so we were able to just relax and enjoy the day and we felt very looked after. In the lead up to the wedding, Sue and Curtis answered all of our questions and nothing felt like it was too much for them to arrange. Holly was very helpful with our wedding food tasting.
On the day, the team decorated the rooms upstairs beautifully, even suggesting the use of the fairy lights, which looked stunning with the bunting! The venue itself looks wonderful. Our guests have said that

We are travelers from the U.S. and this was our first destination after our 10-day quarantine. We had a nice family time. The menu was great (I’m sure not the pre-COVID full menu). I had fish and chips; the rest of our group had the burriata and chicken salads and the risotto primavera. All selections were very good. I’d certainly recommend this for an afternoon out at a pub that is kid friendly, a good wine and cocktail selection, and enjoyable food.

I took my friend to the Rosedale for a proper English Sunday roast for Easter. They change their menu slightly each week, which means it is fresh. The pub is spacious and family friendly, but a more classy experience. His roast was generous and he seemed to enjoy it tremendously. My fish and chips was decent, but I think I would have been better off being more adventurous in hind sight. Its on a quiet residential street so has a lovely feel to it.

They have great outdoor space with the back area being very family friendly with a play area. The front section wraps around outside of the building (so if you don't want to hear screaming kids, sit here!)
We only had a few drinks but I really liked the pub. Clean, modern, welcoming.
They had a French style rotisserie chicken oven going out front which smelled amazing.

We booked this place for our annual Christmas dinner because of the 3 course set menu deal for £21.
However when we arrived we were told that was excluding Sunday's - although we'd double checked this with the manager on making the reservation. They said there wasn't anything they could do about this - even though it was their fault - but after much bartering they offered us £25 for a 3 course from the normal menu. So we accepted this.
For starter I chose the chicken liver terrine... The toast was stone cold despite the chargrilled affect and the terrine was pretty much tasteless

I would sum up today's Sunday roast experience as 'pleasantly surprised'. We have been meaning to try the roast here for months but I was always out off by the mixed reviews on various sites, but my partner convinced me we should at least try it. Service to begin was less than good - 5 staff standing around while we stood waiting to be shown to a table. However the girl who was looking after us was really lovely. Beat of all the roast beef was one of the best I've had locally in recent memory. Generous portions, lots of vegetables which weren't over-cooked, beef was delicious

We've just moved to the area and the Rosendale is our new local. And on the whole, it's a pretty good place to have as your local we sometimes go there for Sunday lunch, the service is pretty good, the food is good too although I do wish they wouldn't smother the pasta in olive oil ('drizzle' is the word, guys, not 'flood').
But in fact the best thing about the Rosendale is that it's just a really nice place to go for a drink, it's very comfortable and spacious with a choice of big sofas or traditional tables and chairs. It tends not to get too crowded
