🍽️ A Journey of a Dish… 👨‍🍳

Ever wondered what goes into creating one of our Summer Menu favourites?

Join Chef Michael behind the scenes as he takes you through the making of our delicious Ham & Cheese Croquettes — from the first step in the kitchen to the finished dish. 🤌✨

Crispy, golden and packed with flavour, these little beauties are the perfect way to start your meal at The Rose & Crown.

Because great food doesn’t just happen… it starts with great ingredients, a little creativity and plenty of care. ❤️
