    I am rather fed up of answering all the questionnaires each time I have been to On The Rocks and I believe that in itself say it all

    I obviously wouldn't keep going back if it wasn't good ..... it's standard is consistent in every way ... food, service and atmosphere..
    Hence we keep on going!

    A very enjoyable meal

  • (((** 16 July 2017 by Jenny from Petworth

    Pleasant, responsive staff. Meals (paella and monkfish) were tasty, but too large, which can be off-putting; especially one serving of monkfish which appeared to have had a double portion of pasta. Good value house wine. Nice position on the front, though very hot at tables near the window.

    Unfortunately this was not an enjoyable experience...chicken was dry, pork belly was undercooked and the seafood paella was actually a risotto. On the plus side the service was attentive.
