Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It really is impossible to find the adequate and appropriate words to describe this venue to really give her the justice it so rightly deserves. We visited last Sunday for the first time with the hope that the glamour and the hype wouldn't be an...over exaggeration as so many venues are when it comes to Sunday lunch. WOW we were not disappointed! From the moment we walked in, we were instantly greeted by a joyous barrage of "hello's" and "good morning!" from the bartenders to the general manager. The welcome resembled a homecoming to your favorite crazy aunty from the past; Warm, genuine & in a noticeable, way... safe. We opted to sit at the bar as we were 15 minutes early for our 12:30 reservation. This was by far the best mistake we could make. Having drank several Bloody Mary's, Moira's & Maria's the mixologists were engaging, fun, and extremely knowledgably. We were also served water in iced champagne flutes from a vintage teapot drenched in intoxicating glitter. No surprise that a venue this glamourous would serve water that looks like its been blessed by a convent of drag queens. Alas, now an hour late for our reservation (at no point were we rushed to the table) we felt it time to ingest some food and soak up the several rounds at the bar. Now, to point out that as a restaurant General Manager myself, I am often so disappointed with roasts. I was genuinely impressed with how good this was! My friend had the beef and I the Lamb. The meat was tender, the veg hot and the Yorkshire fluffy! You can really taste the pride from the chef and it was appreciated by us both. Sunday roast suddenly and for the first time in a long time, didn't feel like a wild inconvenient for this brigade. We further indulged in Sticky Toffee Pudding and washed it down with a dessert wine. Yum Yum Yum!!! Now bursting at the seems and under the threat of having to undo my top jeans button we retreated back to the bar for infused cognac over ice (bar tenders choice - delicious) and several espresso martini's. All in all, I find in todays climate its either good food or good service in restaurants and you really have to make a choice. The Rock & Rose not only does both but they excel! They really should feel incredibly proud of everything they do! I worry this hidden gem wont stay hidden for long and we may have to fight for our spot at the bar. This restaurant is an absolute must for any one with a thirst for delicious well crafted drinks, a hunger for mouthwatering food and a heart for hospitality displayed at its best!!! We will be back! Love, Tom & CharlieMore

Well I’ve always loved this place I had a special request which amazingly agreed…. I wanted to cut my arm off from the elbow with a carving knife and I wanted the chef to cook it on the griddle and then serve it up with...chips and Mac and cheese I only wanted it cooked medium rare.. it was delicious and so flavoursome I wouldn’t recommend this but trying it once is worth it. In a nut shell the Rock and Rose is a lovely high quality food and drink restaurant and will be returning soon possibly to do my leg from the knee down…… love to allMore

My fiancée took me for dinner here after he proposed last year. They made the evening so lovely and we had a delicious meal and some cocktails. Was all a whirlwind. We thought we’d go back last night as a ‘2 week before we get...married’ date. I said this to the lovely gent in a jazzy shirt when we booked and asked for the table in the window. He sat us on the night actually and was amazing. We indeed sat by the window and kindly got 2 glasses of bubbly! So kind and thoughtful. They really know how to give you a fabulous night and make you feel special. The food was also stunning. Really decent portions too! Thank you Rock and RoseMore

Won’t be going again. We booked this to celebrate our friends recent engagement which I noted to the restaurant when I made the booking. When we arrival a staff member told me they were doing something as a gesture to say congratulations. We had 2...glasses of Prosecco with sparklers come out which was lovely. However it wasn’t so lovely when we realised we had been charged £9 per glass after we had paid. Also the waitress who took our bill charged each couple £5 more than what half the bill was (again we didn’t realise until after we had left) so we were charged an extra £10 on top of the £32 service charge we had already paid. The drinks are good but the food is very average & not worth the price.More

I hadn't been for a couple of years. Rock & Rose has lost its ambience and become very tired looking. The glass tables have food underneath the glass. The whole place needs a refresh. Cocktails are still amazing, as is the food. Service isn't what...it used to be, no smiles, removing plates while others haven't finished. No more glamour.More

This place is beautifully decorated and the food had mixed reviews over our table but mostly on the average side, my biggest issue was that I informed the waiting staff straight from the start of my lactose intolerance. I picked a meal that didn’t have...anything dairy related in its description, nor do they have any symbols on the menu to help. So when given my dinner I was slightly suspicious of what looked like a creamy sauce and mash potato. I had a small taste as I would like to think I could trust the staff to essentially not poison me but the taste was clear it was. It took quite an amount of time to get attention from the staff in which time I had eaten the meat and chips I ordered on the side (as no mention of mash) I asked the waitress was this dairy, her face immediately answered the question and she went for her manager. The woman who came over I found quite blase to the situation she stood at the end of the table saying nothing for at least a minute then asked “was everything ok”, when I asked did my meal infact have dairy she informed me it did. I was offered another meal but at this point everyone had finished their dinners so I didn’t want to be left eating alone and I was pretty full on chips at this point. I was also offered pudding of which they don’t offer a dairy free one other than sorbet (which dosent really count) when I sed no to this also she sed ok and just left. I don’t leave bad reviews but after then suffering for the next few days from the small amount I had and this woman not taking it seriously I feel like I need to warn others who’s allergies could have far more serious consequences than my own.More

The food and drinks were only excellent at this place.. we did not experience excellent Service by the serving food staff.. the staff at the bar were at least better and polite! The place was stuffed with too many tables that people were bumping other...tables while walking and of course the big vase in the middle was a little too much for a cramped place! Overall would like to visit again but only seat at the bar!More
