The Rock Inn

Had lunch here with some friends - ages ranging from 5 to 80. The service was some of the unfriendliest we have encountered from some of the staff; disinterest to the point of rudeness. The younger staff members were attentive and much friendlier, but overall the service did not enhance our experience. It's a shame as the location is lovely. The food was good, but expensive for what we had.

Summer trip to Dartmoor Great location. Sunset picnic on Haytor was perfect after a drink or two in the garden. Staff were so friendly. The light menu offered on the days when the restaurant wasn’t fully open was great. Will definitely be back. Perfect for summer or winter.

What a wonderful evening , we enjoyed some of the best food we have ever had , simple food ,good produce ,clearly cooked with skill and knowledge , I have to say there is normally something I have a moan about, but not this time .We arrived to the welcome of a candlelight entrance inviting us in with the comforting smell of log fires ,the staff were friendly and attentive we were seated at our table by the bar in front of the log fire which was perfect , the staff were very attuned noticing when a candle had turned out and that we needed more water the attention was great but not stifling , just right . The service was efficient we didn’t seem to be waiting very long between courses . The food was second to none with amazing flavours , the lamb on a sourdough crumpet starter was to die for , so succulent with immense flavour absolutely 5star , my husband had the chicken supreme with fondant potato which I soon wished I had ordered it was melt in the mouth delicious and the flavour balance was on point , I had the gnocchi with blue cheese and butternut squash which was also on another level . We don’t normally have puddings but as the other courses were so good we couldn’t resist and we were not disappointed the banana tart with home made icecream was truly delicious and the parfait with pear sorbet was so good . The price was reflective of the quality and fair we didn’t think twice about paying the service charge which we normally begrudge due to there always being some little niggles . The ambiance was relaxed but professional , the pub retained all its character and charm without feeling dated or musty and stuck in the past . There’s no doubt we will return soon and we will be recommending to all our friends and family . Absolutely 5 Star experience Thank you to all the staff that make it happen What a great team it clearly shows .
