About This Pub
Ah, The Rock Bar & Café, what a lovely find it is! I've got to say, it's one of those places that just gets it right for a relaxed get-together. The ales are brewed with real passion, offering up unique flavours that pair brilliantly with their indulgent pub snacks and hearty breakfasts – I hear the cakes are to die for, and from the feedback, they're spot on. The staff really go the extra mile, making everyone feel welcome, and it's fantastic that they embrace dogs as part of the gang, with treats and all. That laid-back atmosphere, focused on good old conversation without any distractions, is a breath of fresh air in today's world. On the flip side, it might not suit if you're in the mood for a lively night with screens or music, and being a bit off the beaten track means you have to plan ahead. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone after genuine hospitality and a pint that tells a story – I'd definitely recommend popping in for a visit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The selection of craft cask ales is absolutely spot on, especially their own brews which have a real character and flavour that'll keep you coming back for more.
-
The food's a real treat – think delicious breakfasts, scrumptious cakes, and traditional pub snacks that hit the spot without any fuss.
-
Staff are incredibly friendly and provide brilliant service, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
-
It's wonderfully dog-friendly, with water bowls and treats on offer, so you can bring your furry mate along for a pint and some fuss.
-
The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for a good chat, with comfy outside seating and a laid-back vibe that nods to local history.
Cons
-
It's all about conversation here, so if you're after TVs, loud music, or electronic entertainment, you might find it a bit too quiet for your taste.
-
The location's a tad tucked away, which could make it tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area.
-
The kitchen shuts a bit early on some days, so if you're planning a late bite, you might need to time your visit just right.

The sister pub to the amazing Blue Boar in Leicester city centre this is also a fantastic little place. Excellent selection of drinks, great food, excellent service and a fab owner! 😉 Not sure what more there is to say....other than get yourself across if you haven't been!
