Rose ‘N’ Bowl

The carvery here is to die for — huge portion size, high quality and super tasty food, all for a reasonable (actually quite cheap) price, served by smiling friendly staff — northern charm is in full flow here. In addition to the carvery, a full menu is available, wide variety and all very tasty (the rag pudding in particular is to die for).
Great friendly atmosphere typical of a northern pub, with many events occurring throughout the week.

This place has everything. Really. I mean, if I told you that this year it held the World Gravy Wrestling Championships you might be surprised, given that Stacksteads isn’t normally associated with World Champion anything. But that doesn’t even begin to describe what this place is like.
You can people watch all night in here. You will see peroxide mullets that you last saw in the eighties. The people in here may not always be the most fashion conscious, but they know how to have a good time. They have had some great acts on in the evening and they always go down well.
It’s quite a big place with a combined restaurant. They boast a mean carvery on a Sunday, but the bar food is worth a go too.
I’ve never seen any roses here, but ther is a bowling green at the back. Perfect if you happen to catch a match on in the summer.
