    Dissapointed when we originally placed our food order we mentioned did we have to state if we wanted desert. We were advised no, someone will ask once we finished our mains. Our table was cleared not once were were asked if we wanted dessert or a hot drink. All other tables were asked but not ours.

    Despite being exceptionally busy in the weekend before Xmas, we were seated quickly, our waitress was extremely helpful, friendly and prompt with service. The festive menu had good choice although our group of 6 are from the Al l’carte as well. Food was excellent and piping hot, despite the restaurant being rammed. A pleasant buzzy, festive atmosphere.

    We have a get together with friends every Christnas and have our meal at the Rock and Fountain. The food is always excellent as is the service. Nothing is ever too much bother and we are always last to leave but the staff don't pressurise us into leaving even though I expect they want to go home. I woukd recommend this venue to everyone.
