I took my boyfriend here for our Sunday lunch, and it was absolutely fantastic. Even he said that it was his favourite Sunday lunch that he had had. It was a most enjoyable experience and we would definitely be back. The only thing that let it down was the bathroom, we are both disabled with limited mobility and after he went he told me not to go, as it was up some stairs. However, we had such an enjoyable experience that we will be going again really soon. Thanks for such an enjoyable experience. Xx

This was our second visit to On The Rocks, last visit was in November '19. Exceptional food both times. They have a really varied menu so there is something special for everybody. My smoked pollock starter was out of this world, the lobster bisque it came in was just superb. And the pork belly main was I'm sure the best pork belly I've ever eaten out. Not the usual fatty, greasy lump here, I can tell you! Well done to the chef and staff at On The Rocks, we will be back!!

Only quibble is I wish I had ordered fish of the day, which was sole, which my wife ordered. It was sublime. The tempura veg, crispy squid, red mullet etc. was just plain very good. Decent wine list and friendly host. This was my second visit and it will be a "go to" destination on any and every future visit.
