    My husband said it was the best steak he has ever had. It was beautifully presented and good portion size. As his vegetarian wife, my Halloumi wrap was delicious as were the chips but apart from a salad my options are very limited. Even offering a halloumi burger along side your other burgers would allow me a different option. In saying that, I know we will definitely return and if you like steak it's not a place to be missed.

    We usually love going to Black Rock as it does serve the best steak. However last night it was so hot in there neither of us could finish our meal and didn't get dessert as we needed fresh air. Waiter Kieran was excellent, other members of staff looked as though they didn't want to be there. We will go again but probably midweek when it's quieter.

    Honestly from the outside I wasn’t going to go in because it didn’t look very nice but husband said let’s just have a look and I’m so glad we did. The food was the best steak I’ve ever had, cooked to perfection. The atmosphere, service, food was 10/10

    Excellent food and service. Steak on the stone. Despite being very busy we were served quite quickly. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Just a bit noisy with the number of kids in the restaurant.

    Been here on a good few occassions, Food is great, amazing value, lovely professional staff. Great location, access problems for those with wheeled mobility as stairs down to venue. If you can walk you can get down there and staff are on hand.
