Restaurant at The Rosevine Description
Do you feel like taking a break and still enjoying your home comforts? Imagine all the familiar delights without the responsibility and the drudgery of having to run it - if that is your idea of fun, particularly if you have small children, then you should check out what The Rosevine Hotel at Portscatho provides for its guests
Set in two acres, the predominantly Georgian building houses twelve suites complete with dining and kitchen facilities, including private terraces, most of which overlook Gerran's Bay. Outside, on a lower field by the lawns, they have a trampoline, climbing frames, swings and a wooden playhouse for children. When your family have had their share of fun on those, they could settle down and watch the large screen television and xbox or walk a short distance to the sandy beach of Porthcurnick.
Alongside the pleasant morning room is the bright and airy dining room, which is open from 9 am to 9 pm Monday to Saturday and 9 to noon on Sunday. You could have a luxuriously late breakfast made more enjoyable with home pressed apple and orange juice. Like breakfast, lunch and supper are also rustic and simple, featuring homemade breads and fresh seafood, all lovingly prepared. You could find coq au vin, sirloin steak with portobello mushrooms and chips or grilled fillet of hake on a pea and ham risotto with buttered greens. A short wine list completes the picture.
They take pride in their special children's menu consisting of homemade fare, which even includes making their own ketchup. Owners Tim and Hazel run the place more like a home than a hotel, and it provides a welcome change for harried mums and city folk alike.

The Rosevine has changed hands and has gone through a considerable refurbishment. A new team in the kitchen produce simple rustic food with strong flavours.

We found details of this hotel restaurant in an AA guide whilst staying at Le Talbooth in Essex and expectations for quality food were high as a result. What a disappointment!!
To start with, we were required to order our meal in the afternoon and received a phone call to that effect rather than leisurely perusing the menu over an aperitif. When we went down to the restaurant it felt a bit like sitting in an old folks home dining room with the polished tables and mats from the 60s. It is a family establishment and unfortunately in this case it meant the son was pulling faces at other diners, running outside between courses to jump on the tables outside and generally not adding to what we had hoped to be a fine dining experience.
The food was trying to be something it just wasn't. The dishes lacked any real flavour and the flower decoration hardly made up for the poor food. For starter I had the lobster and prawn bisque and my husband had the fish parfait which unfortunately was over powered by the flavour of pickled vegetables (that you might nibble on whilst eating a Thai starter not a fish terrine!) In fact in a blind tasting it would be quite difficult to identify that the starter was fish at all. To follow we had sea bream and duck. The duck was swimming in a watery rather insipid liquid and the fish tasted of nothing in particular. I do admit that my experience with fish is that you have to eat somewhere extremely good in order to be safe of a good result but as we ordered in advance I let my optimism get the better of me.
We were amazed that a restaurant supposedly good and recognised by the AA could be so altogether mediocre and dull. It was not that food was undercooked or overcooked so much as it had not required any flavour or seasoning at all. The plum flambé was much better although of course that was thanks to a French waitress rather than the acclaimed kitchen.
We intend contacting the AA about this restaurant as I fear they
