Over the past eight years i have submitted two previous excellent reviews for this remarkably good gastro pub and hotel. I recently enjoyed a first rate sunday roast in the delightful restaurant and bar. The high standards of both home cooking and friendly service never decline and it all made for a great day out. A big welcoming log fire awaited me after a good walk in the pretty valley that the rock inn occupies. Owners Darren the chef and RUth who manages front of house gave me their usual warm greeting and i rapidly felt at ease and at home. This is a superb eatery that is simple to find, not far out of taunton. Suffice to say you will never be disappointed and are sure to return. Excellent in every regard. Do go and enjoy it !!

My brother in law was staying as a guest while over from Africa and invited his brother and myself for dinner. As a vegetarian I noted that the aubergine parmigiana had Parmesan which is Not suitable for vegetarians as contains rennet. I called to query this and they were very helpful and on arrival said that they could prepare it with cheddar cheese which was vegetarian. It was delicious as were the accompanying potatoes the steak was the best partner had eaten. Staff and atmosphere warm and welcoming felt like a family. Will be back and highly recommend thank you

We booked Sunday lunch for a joint birthday celebration. We were staying in a house locally and this was perfect location. We could not fault the service and the food was absolutely incredible. Would highly recommend!

My fiancé and I booked a table for our last date night before we wed and I can honestly say, that we could not have had a better experience to remember it!We were met at the bar by a lovely lady, full of smiles and so friendly. Such a warm welcome is rare these days!We were sat on a lovely table next to a roaring log fire and placed our orders. For starters we both had a creation of the chefs which was divine! A taleggio cheese fondant. Main course, I had a 12oz Ribeye steak, bone marrow topped with truffle, spinach topped with half a caramelised shallot (I believe) and potato dauphinoise. Hands down the best steak I have ever had in my life!! (and I've eaten many). My fiancé had Feather blade of Aberdeen Angus glazed in black garlic and treacle cooked for 14hrs & served with Cheesy garlic mash.The chef surprised us with some incredible homemade ice-cream after our meal! And we took a portion of their Peanut cheesecake with caramel cream home with us too!Everything was incredible and worth every penny!Food & drinks: I had a local light ale to drink and my fiancé had a gin & lemonade. The ale was refreshing and zesty.The food was absolutely divine!Noteworthy details: You place your order when the chef & the team are ready to prepare your meal. This is not only magnificent for the price of the food, but it also shows an incredible attention to detail.

As always , we enjoyed a very warm welcome from landlady Ruth and her staff, followed by an excellent meal cooked by talented chef, Darren. The feather blade of beef was really good as ever, and the wild sea bass was beautiful. As a local, why go anywhere else?

Had planned lunch here,but unfortunately was unable to make it due to one of our party being sick, rang in good time to let Restaurant know, only to be questioned over the by some very rude woman, I've never been spoken to so badly by anyone in hospitally.. Give it a miss, they don't deserve the money.

This was our second visit in three years whilst staying at the nearby caravan park and the food and service was just as good as it was before, in fact we went back for a second time the next night. The blade of beef was sublime and the homemade ice cream was to die for. Well done the hosts for offering such a lovely menu and the evening was finished off by an England rugby World Cup win, result all round.

What a fantastic eating experience. Visited on 3 occasions in one week including Sunday lunch. Midweek meal choice was taken from chefs specials?some of the best food I have eaten for a long time. Sardines as a starter were great and chefs special Monk fish an prawn curry was the best yet. Ruby red meat was also high quality. Sunday lunch again excellent in flavour and portion size. A definitely must try f you are in the area?you will not be disappointed!

Such a lovely place to meet for a family dinner, we had booked in advance for 12 people on the 19th August. Being a large group we were asked by Ruth to send in our group orders, it was perfect, the food was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meals, it was a lovely atmosphere, Ruth & her staff were so friendly. Thank you!
