    Been to the Rock and Fountain a few times now, every time has been fabulous. Lovely food, good value for money, great atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean and tidy. This visit we had the opportunity to sit outside in the terrace which is a fantastic space. Would highly recommend.

    We had a really enjoyable evening- the staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty to choose from on the menu, the 3 courses for £25 very good value and the food lovely. Would definitely recommend.

    Excellent meal. Great service from a clearly dedicated team. As expected the quality of the meal was superb and always good to see a busy pub.

    Disappointing salad. Supposed to be smoked salmon. Was tiny pieces of poached salmon. A ton of raw onions. Lots of oily dressing and a hot watery. Not great for £13.95
    The Rock and Fountain InnResponded on April 9, 2025
    Hi Elda, We are sorry you didn't like your Salad, it is a Oak Smoked Salad which is a Smoked Side of Salmon and not the thin smoked Salmon slices, it is served with a Red Pepper Salad and a Chilli and Lime Dressing, it is a very popular dish which is why we have had it on the Menu for over 12 months, as for the Price we think a Salmon Salad for £13.95 is very good value for money.

    Had another great meal today, 4 x Sunday lunch, plenty of choice, great atmosphere and staff made you feel welcome at all times. Great deal being offered for 2 or 3 meal and well worth the price.
