My family went there for dinner last night to celebrate my Mum's birthday, as we'd heard good things about it and were interested by the menu when we looked at it online, as it had plenty of options for my fussy younger brother (and for all of us), which were further extended by a selection of specials. We'd booked for six o'clock (to give us time to spare for a journey back which could in theory take up to 45 minutes), but actually arrived at about ten past five, and admittedly it was quite quiet, but they were happy to accommodate us then, even though we were so early. The staff were very friendly and efficient in general, and we had the same waitress for the whole time, who was great and very helpful (even in the face of my dad's silly questions). We ordered main meals, and these came so promptly (within half an hour, probably?) that my Dad and I were exploring the cave (literal one carved from the sandstone cliff) at the back of the pub when they came so my Mum had to come and fetch us. The portion sizes were very generous, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that this extended to the accompaniments as well, in that there was what my dad calls a 'proper' portion of vegetables (lots of places we've been to either don't have vegetables as an option at all, or just the obviously frozen-bagged selection of carrots, peas and broccoli), which is to say of a good size and variety. Also, I had the Chicken and Gammon BBQ stack (which was a grilled butterfly chicken breast and a 5oz gammon steak with BBQ sauce and melted cheese) and both this, and the 10oz gammon which my mum had, came with grilled mushrooms and tomatoes, a salad garnish and peas (a lot of peas), and we had ordered two portions of side salad because we weren't sure what the vegetables/salad with the meals would be like, which meant that, as they were as generous as they were, we ended up with almost too much, really, but we know now for the future, and as our waitress said, better too much than too little! My brother had scampi, which he said was very good, and my dad one of the specials, baked salmon with hollandaise sauce, which he said was perfectly done, as was the meat that my mum and I had. The pudding options also sounded very good, but we found that we were unfortunately too full after our main courses to be able to try any of them, which was a shame. However, we will definitely be returning, hopefully...

Read moreThis quaint Inn between Stourport on Severn and Hartlebury Common that was converted from 3 houses into this Inn. Has been serving the public since 1845. Just opposite is a car park and an entrance to this beautiful beer garden which requires going down some stairs. They also have a place they serve drinks from too and is nestled by a river and an old railway bridge. Behind the Rock Tavern are caves in which you can visit but are currently closed. I do recommend a visit here i do plan to go again. Its a tavern that has a touch of the past meets the present and well designed and they do on occasions...
