A rare 5* awarded from me. A little out of town (from Notts or Derby), situated in Sandiacre, with ample public parking directly opposite the restaurant. Staff were well presented, friendly and helpful. We sat downstairs, in a rustic but smart diving room, just the right level of lighting, and soft music in the background. The food was very very good considering the value (£100 per head, including a few drinks, tip, and 3 courses, with little extras in-between courses).
The food is modern and creative, a nice small menu to choose from, and catered well for a few allergies. Totally unpretentious, yet stylish and creative.

Impromptu lunch.
Now, if you want the true definition of a hidden gem, this is it.
Located down a side street in Sandiacre.
That's Nottingham or maybe Derby, depending on which side you say, "Ay up me duck."
We must confess that we have not dined here for some years. Shall we say the 'slate days'.
The Lunch Menu
2 courses 45.00 3 courses 58.00
With a choice of four dishes per course.
First up are two different little snacks.
'Fish & Chip'.
Yes, it's a mouthful of a delicious chippy tee in one bite.
Forget the lunch. Just bring a bowl of them.
Can't remember what the other was.
After that, you are served a nice slice of sourdough bread with butter that's been on the table since being seated. Which is a bit strange,but hey, ho.
Starters
Hand dived Orkney scallop,macadamia, quinoa, lime.
*big and succulent.
Pork belly, piccalilli, cauliflower.
*served just right.
Mains
Beef & Oysters', dashi,mustard thermidor.
*Now, this was a dish to remember.
It's topped with the tastiest oyster ever.
Halibut, trout, shrimp,bouillabaisse, saffron.
*Two pieces of excellent fish.
With the generous portions, we skipped desserts and had coffees.
Which are served with a choice of choccies.
The service was very good.

Really special anniversary celebration for myself and my husband who has Parkinson’s. Very attentive staff took any stress out of the situation and helped us to and from our table with great sensitivity and thoughtfulness. Superb quality food with attention to fine detail In presentation and taste. Knowledgeable staff, friendly and efficient. Couldn’t do enough for us without being overpowering. Lovely calm atmosphere.Fantastic venue for a special occasion. The staff made it special , with particular thanks to Diva who even escorted my husband in his wheelchair to the carpark across the road. The perfect end to a perfect celebration. Thanks to everyone involved in tonight’s experience for us.
Wow, what a fantastic night, food was absolutely excellent, the flavour combinations were just out of this world, the amuse bouche of fish and chips was culinary genius, and it just got better. The wine pairings were a treat, this was my wife's and mines first time here and we will definitely be going again. Everything about this place is brilliant , the service was second to none the atmosphere was brilliant, the restaurant is a gem
Was taken here for lunch meeting and was amazed by the quality of the food and cooking along side great service. Will be back !!
Had a most lovely lunch here today - excellent food and service. It's fine dining but not at all pretentious - I particularly liked that vegetables and potato gratin are served alongside the main courses (at no additional charge!) Thank you and we look forward to returning very soon. 💚
Amazing and intimate experience! Great food. Will definitely visit again many times. Chef is very friendly.
Great dinner with La Rock. Excellent food and great service. Who knew soy sauce and blackberries made such s great pairing? Had the best cut of venison ever, and will now be disappointed at all future restaurants.
Absolutely wonderful evening at La Rock .... food was out of this world .... the fish and chip amuse-bouche was stunning ... we were served by Gracie who was brilliant throughout although all the team we met were amazing.
All the courses we had were of just the best quality ... highly recommended a visit !!
Thank you for making our evening so wonderful!!
