While out on an adventure to visit Hope For Wildlife, my wife and I did what we always try to do…read morewhile visiting an area we don't get too very often - find some delicious local eats! Rose & Rooster quickly rose (sorry, not sorry) to the top of my list, with glowing reviews and a menu that was approachable but also putting more effort in than many rural cafes tend to. We arrived for a late lunch and were able to easily snag a table out front and one blessedly in the shade. Ordering at the counter inside, it was a tough call for me between their seafood chowder and the fishcakes, but I eventually went for the latter. Some brunchy options were still available, and my wife opted for their croque monsieur. Sipping on some iced Americanos, we soon had our food in front of us. I was immediately impressed with the fish cakes as they looked like they had an incredible crust on them, and looks did not deceive! They were wonderfully crisp, and the interior was smooth, but still had a little texture from the small chunks of potato. Salt cod gave a pleasant flavour, and the green tomato chow/jam was a star in its own right, striking a great balance between sweet and tart. Some yellow flower petals fancied things up further. My side salad was fresh and crisp, with a mix of greens, cucumber, carrots and more, and a delicious, creamy dressing that had a flavour that I couldn't quite place, but quite enjoyed. My wife's croque monsieur was served open-faced, and the cheese and ham had gotten some great colour under the broiler, while a thick slice of fresh bread held up well under the rich, hot mess on top. Not to be outdone by the savoury foods, the desserts at Rose & Rooster will put you in a state of sugar-induced choice paralysis, but we were lured in by the colourful layers of the strawberry rhubarb and matcha layer cake! It's a mouthful to say, and eat, with alternating layers of airy cake, a summery strawberry and rhubarb spread, and a lovely matcha cream. Topped off with more cream and a dusting of matcha powder, it was a flavour-packed treat that did not disappoint. It wouldn't be accurate to call Rose & Rooster a diamond in the rough, since the Eastern Shore is much too pretty for that, but we can stick to the jewelry theme and call them gold.

My boyfriend had a burger and thought it was delicious. The place is kind of run down inside, it's a little dirty, the bathroom isn't very clean. They are short staffed so it was slow, but while they only have 3 tables (plus counter space), they get a lot of to-go orders at lunch time. They did the best they could and the food was worth waiting for.

The interior is a cute space - the nooks and crannies of a converted old home with lots of British memorabilia and kitsch. There was a decent-sized crowd for mid-afternoon, mid-week, but we were seen to quickly and our food came out in good time as well. My wife is a big fan of sausage rolls, so when we saw that GBC has one, it was an easy choice for her. It was impressively meaty, and had a light and flaky wrap. My steak and Guinness meat pie came out scorching hot and I endured some mild mouth burns in my hunger, but it was worth it. The rich and hearty sauce, tender chunks of beef and a crisp crust made for a great lunch. We also shared a decent, by-the-numbers Greek salad to get some veg content. There's plenty of parking in behind the cafe, so don't let its location worry you, drivers. Great British Cafe is definitely worth a visit for the hot food or their selection of British pantry goods if you're in the area.

Cost: super affordable for homemade food. Cleanliness: the food looks clean. No nasty black bits from a dirty grill in your eggs or anywhere else on your plate. While there's nothing really fancy here, it's a much better option than a frozen food chain drive thru. Food comes out quick, it's simple, lots of vegetarian options and really reasonably priced. The place is small so it fills up fast. No street parking. Use their driveway to access parking in the back. There is also a back entrance off the back deck. Door is clearly marked 'entrance'. The staff was friendly and while it's an old converted house, it does look like they try to keep it maintained. The only one complaint would be the washroom. It's obvious one of the staff use it to smoke in because it smells of cigarillos even with the door open and the fan running.
