The chicken pie was lovely with a white wine tarragon sauce and creamy mash and the starter of smoked salmon and horseradish was well balanced and flavoursome.

It is very personal, and you can imagine the people who run it do it with a lot of passion and a lot of effort and thought goes into it all. It may well impress your other half indeed. It's very simple, you pay £33 half of which is for a 3 course meal and the other half covers the cost of the cruise. You needn't worry about the weather either the boat comes with central heating et al. Bottom line is it is not that far away yet not too close either for a short get away. Gotta mix it up a little bit haven't ya fellas? Take ya mrs here for a change of scenery. Book in advance and you're laughing. The cuisine is British as you'd expect with Roasts which are very popular. The desserts might take your fancy also with Sticky Toffee Pudding with Custard deserving a special mention.

Walking into the Rock after a snowy, windy walk through Sunnyhurst Woods was great - a warm…read morewelcome, a fire and a refreshing pint. After warming up a little we took in a bit more of our surroundings. Locals at the bar, and not a particularly wide selection of beers. The people remained friendly. Pub grub was just what was required. A review somewhere praised the food and the selection on the specials board looked decent so we went ahead. The pub grub classic that is potato skins was ordered for starters in two guises. Sadly, both were bought in catering affairs, the cheese separated when being heated, and it hadn't been heated enough to actually melt into one piece. Mains started off with a disappointing veg lasagne, with no discernible vegetables in between the pasta sheets, accompanied by distinctly average garlic bread and a simple salad garnish. The beef stroganoff was fine - at least the fillet was of good enough quality and cooked properly so that it wasn't at all tough or stringy. The sauce was fine and the rice perhaps a bit overdone. The service throughout was spot on - everything at the right pace and appropriately informal for a pub with food. Again, we were made to feel welcome during our visit. The reviews we'd seen mentioned the pies, which on the specials board were the only things labelled as homemade. Perhaps we should have given them a go, but I'm afraid it's unlikely we'll be heading back for food. A pint and a warm up in front of the cosy fire would be another matter, and we'd be more than happy to repeat that experience if we're in the area before moving on elsewhere to eat.

The afternoon tea was really tasty and I thought very reasonably priced, the setting of Mr Fred's is really light and airy with big tables. The sandwiches were fairly standard but I liked the addition of a samosa and a sausage roll and my friends veggie option I'm told was equally as good. The scone was really tasty and the other cakes were a really good mix and not too rich. The staff were friendly and attentive, my friend had a baby with her and they were really accommodating. I'd definitely like to go back and try the lunch menu and maybe treat myself to the spa. The only thing I would have liked were a few more exciting tea options.
