Just back from our first visit to The Rock. On day 5 of our annual family holiday to North Devon....not sure whether we'd wished we'd found this lovely place sooner or glad we didn't as it may have cost us a fortune as we would've wanted to visit every day!! Had the most amazing meal with our 8 year old son, food outstanding with service to match. As a bit of a fitness/health freak, I'm always very choosy about what meals I treat myself too when we eat out and I'm either always disappointed or feel I've over indulged on rubbish....until today! This was by far the best and most enjoyable meal I've had out for a very long time!! Veggie deli board to start (was delicious and actually a meal in itself, even with sharing between 2!). I had the Thai crab cakes (starter but staff very accommodating and made it a main with extra salad and some gorgeous chunky chips!), hubby had thai green vegetable curry and junior had a burger with an extra of cheese from the child's menu. For pudding (which we had to squeeeeze in!) I had the pancakes, my husband had the sticky toffee pudding and our son had the warm chocolate brownie....yum!!! Because we were piggies and the food so amazing we finished off with coffee and truffles! Honestly can't recommend this place for its food and service enough, will DEFINITELY be back next year, although sooner if perhaps we can squeeze another visit in before we go home on Saturday! 😊
Amazing local pub, we came after a recommend, however didn't book and on a lunchtime bank holiday Monday, but they happily accommodated our party of 9 at short notice, we would without doubt return when we are in the area again, food, drinks and service was top class! All our party including kids left very happy! The Seafood was amazing too!
What a fantastic little gem of a pub. Came in last Tuesday with a party of sixteen. The staff we very friendly and service was excellent but the best part had to be the food it was amazing and well worth the money. Would recommend the pork belly it was scrumptious. Will definitely be returning when next in Devon. Thank you the rock Inn for a fab night xxx
Walked up here for lunch on a recommendation. Was with my 16 year old daughter. The food was absolutely out of this world and the service fantastic - really attentive but not in the slightest bit intrusive. We sat outside in the (unseasonable) sunshine and everything was glorious. Very busy inside so should imagine in the summer months booking would be essential. Inside is all low beams and real fires - which actually made me long for winter and a place there by the coals. Totally recommend this lovely, tucked away place in the hills above Croyde.
A real hidden gem! Food was amazing, I had the Venison Wellington & I couldn’t fault it. Staff really friendly & efficient. Would recommend 100%
Lovely pub , been many times over the years. Friendly staff. Great food. Good selection of beers and wine well alcohol in general :) what more do you need.
Lovely food and for the quality I felt it was reasonably priced.
Our three and four year olds were made very welcome too. Clean toilets, glasses and cutlery. We would be very happy to recommend The Rock and will return.
Great food and atmosphere last night with the football being on, would recommend.
Really good service, good choice of wines and the obligatory list of gins. Glass of Pimms for me and the barman had a knack with the mint, I could have drunk a pint!! Crab cakes for starters, plenty and tasty. Big roast pork dinner will loads of veg and a giant Yorkshire pudding! Extra speedily delivered on request. Can't fault anything and really looking forward to coming again!
Fabulous food amazing staff we loved our three visits this week. Our little dog was made so welcome
What a fabulous place accommodated four of us plus seven dogs. Really warm welcome, fantastic food, if you’re in the area pop in!
Had a fantastic lunch here today, superb food, friendly staff and very welcoming to our four legged companions too!
Great food and great service highly recommend it
One of the consistently good restaurants in North Devon. Probably the best. Excellent staff, and a natural pub ambience.
Awesome place. Fantastic staff. Great food. Made to feel so welcome even with our dog.
Not been for a couple of years but even better than we remembered. The welcome and service are first class. The food is amazing.The kids are made to feel so welcome. We will be returning more often. Stunning pub. Thank you for a great sunday lunch xx
Having popped into the Rock Inn a few times for a pint and even just to sample the deserts, which I have to say are amazing and worth every penny of the £7.50, we decided to have a meal here, and we are so very glad we did.
Buffalo Cauliflower wings were very tasty with the sriracha mayo, great starter. I'd spotted the Rock Inn Fish Pie on the menu earlier in the week and was salivating at the thought, I checked with the staff to see if it was any good, they said it was one of their most popular dishes - I can now testify that it is truly amazing and gorgeous: lovely cheesy mash on top of creamy haddock, salmon and prawn. It is no wonder they serve it with a chunk of bread as you'll want to eat up every last morsel, it is one of those dishes you never want to end.
My wife had the burger which was expertly cooked and chips that were lovely and crispy.
Our bellies were very happy, thank goodness we'd popped in earlier in the week to try their deserts, I don't think we could manage another thing.
So amazing that one village has two excellent pubs, I'd be hard pushed to tell you which was my favourite!
The best cheesecake we have ever tasted!
Generous portion sizes for all courses!
Wonderful garden room table for me and Liss.
Could not complain about a thing!
Vegan options… we were just so content!
Thanks all!
What an amazing place. Booked a table for my birthday tonight and we were not disappointed.
Plenty of gluten free options for my wife... Happy wife=Happy life.
Homemade burgers were delicious.
Service was fantastic.
We will definitely be returning.
Visited here on a Saturday night. Quiet in the restaurant with only 5 tables. We all ordered mains. All were good minus the beef burgers which we were told we’re served well done and came rare which is not how the burger was wanted. This was rectified by staff when brought to their attention. Our waitress was great. Worth a visit.
Lovely Village foody pub , good food and service and
Lovely Sunday lunch, we were staying at a local holiday park and called for a table decent portions also well worth a visit.
Stumbled across the fantastic place by accident so glad we did!! Dog friendly too! Definitely recommended to book as it so popular and we can see why excellent service from the min we walked in to when we left by all staff! We hadn’t booked and they squeezed us in but nothing was too much trouble and it’s such a hidden gem the back room is gorgeous. The food was delicious the salted chocolate brownie was the best I’ve ever eaten!
If we’re ever down south again I’d definitely return and I’d definitely recommend it! Thanks guys
A very a good Sunday Roast. Good portion sizes and tasty food. I had a “junior portion” and it was more than enough for me! Will go again.
Just wanted to say a big thank you to the pub owner/manager who managed to accommodate 4 adults and 4 kids on a busy gloomy evening by juggling some tables around.
Amazing place with great food and a modern surf vibe. Not your average grand dad style pub with piss-like local bitters (no no disrespect to all of them).
Great selection of nice beers, great food and good people around.
Parking is a bit small, so people get creative and park as tight as they can.
Just want to remember this place and get back here again after another day nearby.
Booked in for lunch around 9:30 on the day of the booking for a 12pm Sunday lunch. We both went for pork which was really tasty with a generous helping of sides including cauliflower cheese fresh greens, carrot and swede mash. Service was really friendly and the coffees were not bad either. Good recommendation from the guide in our holiday cottage.
