I booked a table at The Rock Inn last minute on Saturday for Sunday lunchtime and as a party of 5 we opted for the whole chicken and crispy pork and we were not disappointed. There was plenty of meat, potatoes and vegetable. We did pay extra for the cauliflower cheese which was very tasty too.

The Spotted Dog is everything you would want a an old pub to be. Tucked in the side of a hill overlooking beautiful woods. As you approach you can smell the open fire burning. When you walk in it gives you a big hug.Food was lovely as were the staff. We are already planning our return!
