Current Red Wine of the Month:
Susumaniello ‘Avoglia’, 2022 from
Great summer red here with fresh raspberries and blackberries, violets and soft, smooth tannins. Really nuanced and interesting and can be described as akin to Puglia’s Beaujolais - also can be served chilled 😎 🍷

Susumaniello has a tiny footprint in Puglia (only a few hectares officially registered) but is gaining popularity and deserved excitement 😝 🍷

Come and check out our wine list here at The Rock - it’s concise but always evolving and we stock some really interesting stuff from both well-known and under-the-radar producers all at sensible prices. Also we love it and know our stuff 🤘🏼🍷

Today marks 80 years since the D-Day landings, remembering the service and sacrifice of all those involved in turning the tide in the Second World War.

D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in history, marking the beginning of the liberation of France and Western Europe. A truly international effort, it saw British troops fighting alongside the United States, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and Poland.

Lest we forget! 🇬🇧

The Rock Inn at Haytor Just inside the boundaries of the Dartmoor National Park lies the rural hamlet of Haytor Vale.
Nestling below the majestic Haytor Rocks, The Rock Inn has been offering travellers a warm welcome, good food and shelter since its foundations as a coaching inn in the mid-eighteenth century.
As a family-owned traditional country inn, we at the Rock Inn pride ourselves on providing a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and service with a personal touch to ensure a fulfilling a memorable experience to both diners and hotel guests alike.

The Inn has long been renowned for the standard if its food, holding one AA rosette for the last 20 years and recently being awarded 2 Rosettes for culinary excellence. We are fortunate that Devon’s rich supply of top-quality produce is right on our doorstep (including the South-West’s wonderful choice of cheese, and wine from local vineyards). Delivered daily to our chefs, food is skilfully prepared with emphasis placed on freshness, taste and seasonality.

Nine very comfortable and well-appointed guests bedrooms await the weary traveller, each with bath or shower room en-suite, colour TV, direct-dial telephone, free wifi and beverage tray. Some are equipped with an interesting historical curio ‘mini bar’. All bedrooms are named after past Grand National winners – a tradition started in 1920.
