    The Black Rock Grill is a unique, delicious, healthy interactive dining experience that allows your meal to be presented cooking on the volcanic rocks at your table. You can enjoy a meal freshly prepared and cook it to your personal taste whether it’s rare, medium or well done. The Black Rock Grill method of dining uses super heated rock that sears in all the natural juices, flavours and nutrients. This guarantees a taste that is unique to Black Rock Grill dining. For the perfect Black Rock Grill experience, simply cut one or two bite size portions off your chosen meal and lay them on the rock to sear and cook to your liking. All served with rustic chips or jacket potato and a fresh dressed salad.

    Seated quickly, time given to study the menu was ample. The coffee was really tasty, and the food was flavourful. I had the large breakfast, sausages were big, fat and tasty, bacon had a lovely flavour, perfectly poached eggs, and black pudding was delicious. Toast was thick sliced but my only slight criticism is having toast and fried bread, maybe better to make an option. My wife had the spicy eggs which was also fab although a little too much sauce drowned the flavour of the avocado and bacon, but would definitely return to have breakfast again 👍

    Excellent meal at The Quay, although a little disappointed that we ran out of time to be able to enjoy a pudding due to slightly slower service than normal.

    Our meal was very nice. The steaks were lovely, and beautifully tender. The staff were pleasant and helpful. My only adverse comment would be that it was not very warm in the pub. The fire was not lit in our side, and I was cold ( it was quite a cold day though).
