    The Black Rock Grill is a unique, delicious, healthy interactive dining experience that allows your meal to be presented cooking on the volcanic rocks at your table. 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.

    Friendly staff snd good service. Lovely food and not a long wait for food to arrive once ordered. Outside bands as a Sunday so quite loud but nice to hear live music and a great atmosphere. We were a family party ranging from 10 months old to 60 years old and we all enjoyed our afternoon and food. Will definitely go again.

    Made a last minute booking, staff were great to accommodate us (2 adults and 3 children) late on a Friday evening. Food was fab and staff very attentive in following up, making sure we were happy. Keep up the good work!

    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.
