You can enjoy a meal freshly prepared and cook it to your personal taste whether it’s rare, medium or well done. The Black Rock Grill method of dining uses super heated rock that sears in all the natural juices, flavours and nutrients. This guarantees a taste that is unique to Black Rock Grill dining. For the perfect Black Rock Grill experience, simply cut one or two bite size portions off your chosen meal and lay them on the rock to sear and cook to your liking. All served with rustic chips or jacket potato and a fresh dressed salad.

    I chose this pub as it had good reviews and they were quite right. The pub had made a good effort in decorating for Father’s Day with balloons. Pleasant ambience with excellent food. Good service and we didn’t feel rushed at all. Would thoroughly recommend.

    The locals know about their famous Tuesday Steak Night and keep coming back regularly. After experiencing this I can confirm it’s just fantastic. The warmest of Welcomes, polite and attentive service and the first class steaks and sides. Amazing value and a real must if you are staying in Wareham.
