The Rock Inn is pub dining at its very best - the best in terms of ingredients, cooking and atmosphere. It all adds up to consistency so not only can you be sure of enjoying your next visit to the Rock Inn - you can entertain guests, or recommend, with complete confidence.
The bar at the Rock Inn holds the secret of the pub’s name and you will also find the best kept local beers, superb wines from around the globe and the comfort to enjoy them while you consider your meal. Our ever-changing blackboard menus feature the best and most succulent cuts of Westcountry meat, locally caught fish and scrumptious puddings. Everything served at the Rock Inn is fresh: freshly supplied, prepared and cooked to individual order.
You can eat in the bar, where dogs are welcome, or you can try our non-smoking bistro-style restaurant. The menus are the same for both in terms of standards and choice, it’s just a question of what atmosphere you choose. In the bar there is a big log fire in winter, pretty candles and, of course, The Rock ... the very stuff the building is made of makes a striking feature.
And it’s a proper bar at the Rock Inn so we have a dartboard which doesn’t interfere with the tables and a pool room; the latter is an attractively decorated room at the back of the house with its own jukebox - ideal for fractious kids when all parents want to do is enjoy their meal.
Restaurant
The restaurant at the Rock Inn is very country chic - in the bistro style with tables and chairs in wood, linen napkins, salt and peppercorn grinders and the sort of Riedel glasses that people who enjoy good wines always prefer to encounter. There is an attractive spiral staircase in the corner that goes nowhere in particular and a very warm, intimate atmosphere.
You can eat supremely well at The Rock whatever you choose – and you do have choice. You can eat fresh fillets of lemon sole, haddock and salmon; lamb or beef, outdoor reared pork; free-range chicken and guinea fowl. And you can start with the lightest cheese souffl�, pigeon breasts with green salad or the best, most flavoursome soups for many miles around. But leave room for the pudding – Joanna makes here own and they are … fabulous ! But if you want a less costly but equally special party, you can also choose succulent pies, including local Exmoor venison, goats’ cheese and red onion tart
We have something for everyone
Service is pleasant and courteous in both the bar and the restaurant but the latter affords a degree of formality that is not readily achievable in a bar that’s worth the name. Whether you are seeking a degree of intimacy for yourself and family or are entertaining guests, the restaurant here is an ideal fusion of space and ambience.
