    Initially we had to send our dinner plus side dish back as all our food was cold. We were given replacements but the over all presentation was poor and food lacked any real flavour. We assumed they have a new chief as on our last visit the food was superb.

    A fantastic evening and fabulous food and the night was made even better with Aaron (Manager), his Mum and partner and most other diners who just wanted to have a party and a sing-a-long! Just fabulous! ;-)

    Very warm friendly environment loved the decor wasnt told that the menu upstairs which we had booked only had certain menu which wasn’t much to offer and was told if wanted other food which my partner asked for a burger or something different as stated on the sites menu to be told we cant have anything from that menu unless u booked a table downstairs unfortunately when booking doesn’t tell u this so we had to order a couple of starters and leave and go somewhere else to get food such a shame as we love the rock lodge

    My friends and I were delighted with our visit to the Rock Lodge. Food was really great esp the Tomahawk. It took us about 20mins for the Tomahawk to get prepared but it was worth every bit. One of the crew or probably the manager went to check on us a couple of times to make sure we are doing great that evening.
