We visited this place after a recommendation from The Castle Inn as their kitchen was closed already. We were greeted at the door, and we knew straight away the whole experience in this pub would be fantastic.
As it was already late Sunday afternoon hours, their roast selection was limited, but we managed to get the last whole chicken roast with all the trimmings. It was a very good choice, and our family of 2 adults and 1 child had very generous portions. The food was delicious, however not enough green vegetables for me (mangetout, cabbage or something else). Gravy was full of flavour and came in a big pot, so it was plenty.
As mentioned before, staff was very attentive and checked on us from time to time, so high five to them!
The whole experience was great and will definitely be back when in the area. See you soon.
What a fantastic little pub that we randomly stumbled across whilst going to chartwell house. There are a lot of beautiful old Tudor looking pubs in this area so there is a lot to chose from but I'd highly recommend the rock. Sadly we didn't eat but the menu and food we saw looked mint so will have to try it out soon. Also need to add the staff were super friendly and welcoming as well.
We came to this wonderful pub by accident but was so glad we did. Extremly friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. We had a roast platter for two which is a brilliant idea and it was so good. The staff were very friendly and we will certainly visit again. Its a dog friendly pub with a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend it. Thank you so much to the staff
Stopped off here for drinks during a circular walk from Cowden station.
Lovely old pub, hasn't changed much since I last visited 40 year's ago and still maintains it character.
Staff were very welcoming and we enjoyed our drinks outside in the garden.
We visited The Rock on a short circular walk from Chiddingstone. We had a great welcome to start with! The food here is as Gordon Ramsey would like it. A small menu, but with a very high quality. We have been here before, and i wanted to return to saviour the excellent pint of cooled prawns. I have a warning though. This pub being small gets very busy, and as such the bar staff do get somewhat flustered. Unfortunately for me I experienced a rather sharp response, when making the food order. Despite this the pub, garden, beer on offer, and the good food deserves a 5 star rating. Because yes I will be returning.
This quintessential English Country pub has delicious food, a particularly friendly service and a very welcoming atmosphere. The roast chicken to share is of amazing free range quality and the roast potatoes are to die for. It easily feeds a family of 4 with all the trimmings. Bloody Brilliant !
Lovely unspoilt village pub. Staff were friendly and helpful, as were the locals. Good selection of beers, including some local breweries. Would recommend the sausage roll bar snacks, delicious! Dog friendly and there is a good selection of games.
Been here a few times, earn yr lunch by reuniting the bull with his ring! The couple who own/run this beautiful quaint pub are amazingly friendly. Food and service equally great, sorry no pix, couldn't wait to scoff the bacon burger and chips with a beautifully mixed orange juice and lemonade (amazing how many venues can mess up when mixing the latter!)
What a wonderful afternoon - fabulous food, very reasonably priced and very attentive chatty staff - will definitely be returning very soon 😊
An amazing little pub tucked away. Staff were amazing, food delicious and the added bonus of quite a few dogs to pat at the bar! Being in quite an old building, take care if you are tall, low ceilings and doors!
We will be back!
