The Rock Inn in North Devon

Always great food and great service. Highly recommend this place. We will be returning.

Really friendly staff but no atmosphere to speak of, it was a sunny lunchtime during half term but we seemed to be one of only two tables eating, Food was expensive and sadly not great, some of the chunky chips were hard, had the wild boar and venison burger which was ok but would’ve expected more for the price. The staff were lovely but wouldn’t come again because of the food.

Great Sunday roast, really good value compared to many roasts. Great service, very friendly and helpful with our awkward combo of allergies.

Made our day ! My wife & I had caught the bus from Croyde , to stunningly well kept & picturesque Georgeham , to walk to Putsborough & back to Croyde on the coast path. We enjoyed some time at the beautiful Church & paid our Respects to local People lost in war , as we always do . Finding our way to The Rock , Staff were super polite & friendly , finding a table for us , even though we hadn`t booked ( We felt that the 2 Lads who served us , were a huge asset to the establishment - Thank you for your wonderful customer service skills ) . We enjoyed a delicious lunch of Rock Monsieur & Burger , exceptional quality & superbly presented. I could have stayed & quaffed the wonderfully kept Otter Ale , all day , but my Wife had other plans ! Locals were very friendly , too . A lovely holiday experience. Highly recommended. Tip for other walkers planning a similar excursion - get off the bus at Davids Hill & walk N.N.E. through the car park adjacent to Chapel Street , exiting opposite St George`s Church . This will limit your time on roads , with just a short road walk to The Rock .

Great local in Georgeham. Friendly staff and 5 real ales (I only had one of them but it was very well kept). Would certainly return. Food rating refers to quality of beer.

The service and atmosphere where great but the food was a little underwhelming. The menu sounded great but didn’t quite live up to expectations. Staff were super friendly, and it’s a lovely pub for a drink but wouldn’t bother with the food next time!

Good food, the room kept on going! Gorgeous vine setting

A lovely pub with delicious food and friendly staff! Well worth a visit, we had the mussels special and the wild boar and venison burger and both were perfect, dog friendly too! Would recommend!

Fish pie is amazing and steak is cooked fab . Everyone is friendly

I would thoroughly recommend trying The Rock Inn. We ate a lovely meal (roast, pie and scampi meals and they were all great). Good atmosphere as well. What you would call a great village pub.

A great find on a Saturday evening. Friendly welcome from the bar staff. It was quite busy but we managed to find a table. We had a steak and Otter ale pie and a venison burger with blue cheese and garlic aoli. Both dishes were a decent size and truly delicious. They serve a good range of drinks, and there is seating indoors and outside. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. We were made to feel very welcome, and all the food we had was delicious.

Great pub staff very friendly highly recommended

Friendly, attentive staff. The food was delicious. Can definitely recommend the mussels and sticky toffee pudding. Our whole party said how brilliant the restaurant was.

It's the best pub in England in my opinion,and I've been to a few hundred or so all over the country.Dan and his team run a good ship.Very highly recommend

Excellent Sunday lunch in a lovely country pub very good service and very dog friendly

Always a great service, food and drinks are always top notch 👌

Amazing!! Best service and as a coeliac I am always looked after. Dan, Harry and the team are brilliant. We go every time we visit Croyde. My husband had the steak and chips and I had the fish pie. Such a treat to find a gluten free fish pie- and it’s amazing!

Warm welcome Booked our table, the pub was full, great atmosphere. Lovely bottle of red for £23 Both meals were great, we shared a starter of muscles with bread, they were so sweet. For mains my wife had Hake off the specials board, she said it was so nice, it came with crushed spuds and samphire. I also chose of the specials board and has low cooked belly pork, it was just super with nice crackling. Service was first class Nice chat with the manager 10 out of 10 experience With the voluntary tip it came to £100. ( including my pint of larger

There was a family group of 13 of us and they fitted us in at very short notice, we had a room to ourselves on the side of the pub, with table football which the kids loved. The staff were friendly and helpful and we all enjoyed a great roast and yummy desserts.

Just been to North Devon for a long weekend and visited the Rock Inn twice. Excellent food and wish I could have tried more on the menu to be honest. Young chap at the bar was great and recognised us coming back. Had the Ravioli, Venison Burger, Seafood Linguine and Roast. All delicious and highly recommend. Nice outdoor seating area and inside was really cosy as well. Will be coming back 100% when next in the area!

Great pub with delicious food and very friendly staff

Absolutely fantastic food, great little find. Family and puppy friendly. We loved it here!!!!

The hospitality was great when we popped in for a drink in the afternoon so we returned later in the evening for a family dinner. My steak and chips was excellent with a lovely creamy peppercorn sauce. My partners steak & ale pie was also top class, one of the best she has ever had. Lovely pub, lovely setting, I can highly recommend it. And our puppy made most welcome with treats available at the bar.

Great bowl chunky Chips and a pint of timmy Taylors ale 👌🍟😎

Great pub , lovely food and outstanding service. Harry is a great asset to your business . Lovely funny guy providing great service to customers. The waitress was also very attentive and I’d definitely recommend this for Sunday lunch.

Lovely place, very quaint, lovely food and great it was dog friendly

Great pub, great food and brilliant service.

Brill place for traditional and gastro meals, good service, and have nice rooms overlooking the sea

Was 40+ family friends.....awww fantastic the day

Gorgeous pub, delicious food and warm, friendly service. A delight.

Lovely location country pub tucked away in small village, very welcoming and friendly staff, food was superb, nice log fire

Yet another great Sunday lunch with superb service. Thanks Dan

Incredibly old pub full of character. Staff especially welcoming and helpful. Food was generous and delicious especially the salad bowl full of many things. House merlot and beers really good. Lovely evening thank you the team at the Rock Inn x

Really disappointed with the food but the service was great… I had the steak pie with chips, the pie was far too watery (more like a stew) this meant that the sauce didn’t stick to the steak making it bland, it was also served in a cast iron pot making it difficult to eat with anything else. The chips were under cooked and also bland. Honestly disappointed as the service was great, really friendly and attentive, maybe just made the wrong choice of food..

Lovely village pub, great ambience, low beamed ceilings and old floorboards. The staff were very welcoming and on the ball. My husband chose a burger because he'd read a review which said it was the best gluten free burger they'd eaten and he agreed. My bouillabaise was delicious and it was too much for me to finish, very satisfying!

22 of us went for a friend's 40th birthday all the food came out at the same time and was incredible. The staff were extremely friendly and everyone had a great time.

Visited twice during the New Year break, with husband, son and dog. We found the Rock Inn to be warm, welcoming and serving lovely pub grub!! We ate burgers, steak pie, Sunday lunch and fish & chips - all exactly as described and very tasty. My son has coeliac disease and staff were very knowledgeable about both the disease and their menu. All in all a happy and relaxed experience - thank you!!

First time there and very impressed. Food was delicious and plenty of it. Venison burger to die for. 😃

Fantastic village pub with a brilliant menu. Great selection of beers.

Lovely pub. Excellent food. Fantastic service. Dog friendly. Owner or manager served us and was a delight. Very well kept 👏🏼

Visited here a couple of times during our break between Christmas and New Year 24/25. The welcome/service was excellent at the bar and at table: friendly, witty, and efficient. Our New Year's Eve late lunch was excellent - I highly recommend the beef and ale pie. GF fish and chips also very good. Equally welcoming for a few drinks too. Highly recommended.

We turned up on the off chance and we were extremely lucky for them to make a space for us. Food was fantastic for all 6 adults, kids menu really varied and good. Service was fantastic from all the staff. Would highly recommend and would definitely come back if we were local

Reviewing 2024, I came across a photo of the most delicious bouillabaisse I had the pleasure of tasting. It was at The Rock Inn, Georgeham, and I do not lie when I say that I did a little dance of delight as I ate it. Service was impeccable and very good atmosphere. Parking is limited in front of the pub but we luckily managed to get a spot.

Excellent service and a first class meal

Seven out for a birthday meal on cold wet Monday night. Staff couldn't have been more welcoming. Great tasty food, generous portions and attentive service with nothing too much trouble. Strongly recommend. They even welcomed our four dogs!

A lovely country inn that is warm and inviting. I ordered the large portion of mussels and they were to die for.

Lovely roast. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful old English pub and the best Gluten Free burger I’ve ever had! Staff were really lovely and service was swift.

Great food reasonably priced. Good selection of beers and friendly staff.

Called in at 3pm on a Thursday afternoon to be greeted by the friendliest landlord I’ve ever met. It was a bit of a nostalgia trip as the last time we were there was 1976! We ordered off the sandwich menu & none of us were disappointed, they were all delicious. Wine was good & the boys all agreed the beer was excellent. We will definitely make a detour to vist this hostilary again.

Great boozer! Beer was fantastic and the landlord friendly, welcoming and attentive. Top notch!

Great lunch. Very welcoming staff

Great food friendly service and a happy atmosphere . Lovely place to be.

Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The food was good. Especially the mussels & seafood pie.

Very welcoming and food was very good and plenty of it! I had the local mussels in a white wine and cream sauce and my husband had the beef and otter ale pie both absolutely delicious.

Excellent food and service. Really nice atmosphere. We will be calling again when we're next in Devon. We can thoroughly recommend this pub.

Fab meal. Took our friends as we have eaten there regularly for years and it never dissappoints. Service was attentive and friendly. food was excellent and atmosphere was spot on.

Have previously booked when visited but decided to chance it being a Monday night and in October. Grabbed a table in the bar, fire was going. Plenty of choice on both the specials and normal menu ! Great food, very tasty. Plenty of choice for drinks as well. Def visit again !!

Came for roast yesterday and it was delicious, will definitely be coming back! Our waiter (I think his name was harry!!) provided the best service I’ve had in a long time- so special thanks to him!!!!

Been here loads of times but this one trip was sadly disappointing. Roast was tasteless and bland. Was also quite chilly. Dessert was incredible though!

Fantastic. Great burger. Great friendly landlord. Full marks! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Amazing food, very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely return, highly recommend! Huge portions, all meals were really tasty!

A real pub in the heart of Devon.

Rock solid pub! Can't think of anything negatives. Staff were exceptional!

A Great place for a meal.Enjoyed Sunday Roasts. Used previously. On way to Another area .Park in village car park.

Stunning fish cookery; speedy and attentive service.

Mussels and whitebait were very fresh, rock Monsieur was good too. Amazing atmosphere too, great pub!

Popped in for lunch while on holiday. Beer is excellent, the food to die for. Highly recommend this place.

For a tucked-away seemingly small village pub, this place does some of the best food in the area in my view. The choice was extensive but also to amazing quality. I had the Venison burger and it was delicious and cooked to perfection. For dessert I had the creme brûlée and it was equally as tasty. Service was great here and the atmosphere was lovely and extremely oldie-worldie (my favourite kind of pub!) I would highly recommend to try if you’re staying in the area of Georgeham or you live nearby, you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely welcoming staff. Clean, simple, traditional interior. Fabulous sea food inspired menu. Wish we’d found it at the beginning of our stay instead of the end!

Popped in on August bank holiday Monday. Landlady had been somewhat screwed over by staff not showing up. Still served quickly and with a lovely attitude. Cracking pint of bitter and Guinness. Worth stopping off.

The food was absolutely delicious - we had the halloumi burger, Spanish burger and the banofre cheesecake. The servers were all also very polite, cheery and friendly, the best pub food & pub service we have had in a long time !!

Excellent quality food and super service. Highly recommended for a meal. Best cauliflower buffalo wings I've had.

Magnificent discovery of a typical pub. Impeccable service with friendly staff and quality ingredients. Very good dishes at reasonable prices. Definitely a must go ...

Generally good food and service Rock salad was disappointing Sticky toffee pudding wasn't very warm but taste was good

Just had our second visit here. Food was amazing as was the service. Not often you find both. We'll definitely be back.

Up there with one of the best pubs I've been to. Friendly staff, clean & the food is very good. Very well priced for the amount you get. Kid & dog friendly. The only thing is, there's not a lot of parking outside. But there's a car park just round the corner if you need it. Will absolutely be back when I'm in the area.

Fabulous food but had booked months ahead for a booking for 12 and when we arrived they were trying to squeeze us on to a table for 9. Then added another table but told they needed it back at 8. Just let it down as we were made to feel awkward when we had done nothing wrong. Would have been 5 * otherwise.

Such a great team of people looking after us at The Rock Inn. We were a large group and all dietary needs accommodated (3 x Coeliacs in our group). Super food. We enjoyed watching the Olympics athletics final events on the large screen too - everyone in the room clapping together when Team GB won a medal. All in all a super evening. Would certainly return.

I’ve frequented the Rock Inn for many years when on holiday but was very disappointed at the quality which seems to have slipped. Fish Pie was average and a lot of mush and the some of the veg had gone over!. Pointed out to staff but no feedback or anything. Sad to say but probably the last time I’ll visit 😔

Holidaying locally and really fancied a Sunday roast. After reading a few reviews we thought "OK, can't be that nice, but will give it a go. How wrong we were! Lovely little pub with very welcoming staff. Sat out back of the restaurant in a gorgeous room with grape vines dotted around. The lady who serves us was extremely accommodating providing us with kid sizes portions of main menu meals. Steak and ale pie was amazing says my 10 year old. Other offerings included the curry, and kids spaghetti bol that my 5 year old demolished and promptly fell asleep! We plumped for the roast beef, roast pork and my friend had a mixture of both (also not on menu). Pork was gorgeous as was the cranberry and apricot stuffing,and the beef was cooked to perfection (mooing!) there was a slight mix up with the vegetables being a bit late, but we didn't care. When the sharing board turned up we were greeted with cheesy cauliflower cheese, tasty red cabbage and greens and the most vibrant carrot and Swede puree (my favourite). We couldn't manage a desert as we were totally stuffed. Would highly recommend!

Very good food and plenty of choice for gluten-free. Very friendly service, very hospitable.

Amazing meal and service, despite peak summer holiday period. I would definitely recommend.

Not a lot of parking but inside of pub is spacious and well planned. We found the food a bit pricey but enjoyable and staff were very pleasant. Dogs are allowed which I don't mind but one was insist on barking and growling at other dogs which did ruin the ambience for diners as no one wants to hear a dog barking constantly, particularly inside where it can echo.

A lovely traditional country pub which offered a menu which made choice difficult so appealing was each offering- white bait and bouillabaisse were my choices and I was not disappointed.

Love food, lovely staff is definitely a favourite

Consistently brilliant. Limited inn menu, but all served to an excellent standard. Staff are attentive and happy. Ales are an excellent tour of the great breweries in the southwest. Limited parking but dint drive as the beer and wine choices are top class. Well worth a visit but book as very popular during holiday season.

The food was delicious, served at lightning speed and the staff were lovely. The pork belly bites special was especially nice, perfectly cooked. It was rather hot in the dining area even without anyone else in there, so probably should have chose to sit outside!

Lovely food brilliant staff highly recommend but don't forget to book a table as it does get busy.

We discovered the Rock Inn about two years ago when we first tried camping in Croyde. We’ve been back to this part of the World several times since then and we always go to the Rock Inn at least once! The staff are great, it’s nice to come across a landlord that actually wants to be at work (people wonder why so many pubs are failing!) and the food is lovely! My wife is Gluten intolerant and they cater so well for this which is an amazing breath of fresh air. If you’re ever in the area then please visit the Rock Inn, you won’t regret it!

Just had a lovely tasteful meal. Squid start, local venison, and one of the loveliest sticky toffees. Definately on our must do's on croyde trips.

A really great country pub. Excellent food and a very good choice of beers and wines. Service was very professional and friendly and the pub is doing everything to welcome a wide range of customers. And the loos spotless!

Lovely Sunday lunch in this tardis of a pub. Dogs welcome too

Great little pub with excellent host and food. Beware of the little carpark and roads leading up to it. We took a cab and booked a return journey

Top notch. You need to bounce over to this crib. Excellent food and service as always. Absolutely brilliant. Super friendly atmosphere. Food is always top notch. Love it here

Great food, really fresh and well executed with very large portions. Friendly service in a charming pub. And very dog friendly (dog biscuits in the pub too).

Lovely village pub staff were very polite and helpful. Popped in for lunch today on way back from Woolacombe and was delighted with what i had. Will probably arrange to go for an evening meal next time im in the area

Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Welcoming Landlord 👍

Very nice pub with excellent food and service, would definitely go back.

Excellent in all respects. Dream Host nothing too much trouble. HAve been before and will Continue to do so when ever I can get a ride.
