After the reviews I’m still in shock, upon entering we were greeted very nice and taken to our table and all the staff were very friendly hence 5 stars on the service.We ordered half crispy duck which was ok pancakes had sat a while and had dried together so tore quite a bit but was okWe were very excited about main I was torn between three dishes and asked the waiter he said the staff like the pork one so I said go for that, my GF had crispy chicken in sweet sauceI couldn’t stomach mine it was like oil engine oil with a lump of pork no veg of any description I had to leave it, I had to eat some of my GF’s and that was over sweet sickly batter with no chicken I could taste but that I could stomach.The egg fried rice was actually boiled rice which someone had put some bits of scrabbled egg in, it had never been fried and had no taste2cokes and £75 lolMy local takeaway is ten times better and a fraction of that cost

I have been raving about going to china roses for age to my partner. Went many years ago. Silver serves. Smart shirt and trouser's shoes no trainers . Made you feel really special. So sorry for the review I’m leaving. But was very disappointed . Reception and shown to are table great . However , two blond hairs on the table, 1 in my nicely folded napkin. It was rowdy .cold , no welcoming atmosphere ,some waiter using table brunch pan before we had paid, maybe a good idea if he did that before paying guests sat down. Expensive disappointing experience won’t be going backParking: Ok

Enjoyable evening. Went with the set meal for 4. Hit the mark. Good atmosphere and staff suitably attentive. Highly recommendWheelchair accessibility: Advised when booking that we had a wheelchair member in our party. Provided us with a table on the upper level so where able navigate around other guests/tables.

Fantastic party atmosphere at the 90’s event with DJ, complete with glow-sticks! The food was hot, beautifully cooked and delicious. It was served efficiently and in a timely manner. Highly recommend the events if you’re looking for a great night out.

Salt and pepper chicken and the chicken in lime sauce is worth buying. Great time great memories all thanks to Carol for helping us with the booking.
Went to china rose on Sunday which was a celebration of Chinese new year. The atmosphere was really good and had a good vibe to the evening. It’s a shame the food didn’t live upto the hype. Once seated we were given two small baskets of prawn crackers between 9 people. Starter one piece of spare rib , a pancake roll and some mince with lettuce leaves which wasn’t too bad . Main course was two small bowls of rice and three plates full of main meals ( between 9 ) no noodles , vegetables or prawn crackers. You would also think that if you have paid £70 per head that desert would be included , oh no we will charge you another 6 or 7 pound for that ! So needless to say we did not partake, Tea and coffee included but we will forget tea requires milk ,not cream. Plus point, the waiting staff etc were really good ,and the entertainment was outstanding . First time coming out of a Chinese restaurant then having to have a sandwich when home. Will not be returning, not value for money, what a disappointment!

Everything tasted like a soya sauce...Texture was OK, but to be honest... Not much better than a takeaway.Worst thing for me was the staff.... No helping hand at all... Wasn't sure what I wanted so asked for a recommendation... Literally got nothing out of em... Also didn't hear one of the staff very well, so asked 4 times, could you repeat, each time I had same very quiet answer that I didn't hear anyway.... So yea.... Takeaway it is from now on?

Whilst it is nice to have standards and I would discourage men in tank tops and gold chains... it is however Bawtry.Most people know how to be presentable. I advise removal or dress code with exception of no caps and to not take phone calls unless good reason. The emphasis should be on conduct, maybe a sign that loud parties, crude conversations are not tolerated, this then helps give staff confidence to address the yobbish shaved side haired boys who were talking about their sexual conquests near us.Chinese food is Chinese food, its not the clean haute cuisine we've had in London, the thick illuminous glaze is still reminiscent of your local Chinese so having people dress up seems a psychological trick into thinking it's worthy of extra £££
