The Rock Inn, Waterrow
Dating back more than 450 years, The Rock Inn is tucked away in the picturesque village of Waterrow in Somerset; just outside the River Tone babbles along under the bridge and past centuries old cottages set comfortably among the leafy lanes.
Not many places can rightfully claim that essential mix of country pub and high quality restaurant, but The Rock Inn does exactly that, serving the local community and visitors well. The menu has something for all tastes – there are British favourites like Cumberland sausages & mash, Mac & cheese and a choice of burgers, and culinary creations to tempt you by way of Roasted sea bass fillet with beluga lentils, leeks and saffron lobster bisque, Seafood risotto, and Penne Pomodoro. If you like curries you’ll love the choice – Black chicken, Ceylon lamb, Aubergine & lentil, Monkfish & tiger prawns. They are big on supporting local suppliers and only use fresh seasonal ingredients, so in the summer you can expect salads to appear on the menu – Chicken garden salad, Halloumi salad, Calamari salad, Greek salad – just what you need on a hot sunshiny day, even better with an ice cold glass of wine and enjoyed on the garden terrace.
Inside is the kind of charm you’d expect in a country pub – ceiling beams, thick stone walls, inglenook fireplaces and a very friendly ambience. It’s a good place to be, The Rock, and when your belly is full and you feel sated all you have to do is wander at your own pace back up the hill to Hurstone.
The Rock Inn is part of the 3 Flavours Kitchen group, brought to Waterrow by world-renowned chef Chanaka Fernando, who has worked for Buddha Bar in London and with celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsey and Marcis Wareing.
