Went with a crowd of walkers and the food was excellent. Service was a little slow, probably due to the number in our party, but was friendly and efficient. Good atmosphere.Also advertised live music/acts on certain evenings. Plenty of free parking.

Beautiful food and the waiting staff were so friendly. Loved it!
Chris
Nice surroundings and friendly staff. Unfortunately no sandwiches just main meals so a couple of us ordered pate which was OK but didn't come with any salad to speak of, just a bit of lettuce (a bit of tomato would have been nice)One of the party had fish and chips which he said was lovely.All in all a pleasant visit. 4/5.

We had an amazing meal. I had the lamb shank. It was beautiful! My partner had a burger that was massive! It was all excellent. We will most definitely be back.

Tried calling up and numerous times now turned up as it says open and never is!!

Only tried the chips because I wasn't there to have a meal and they were cooked to perfection. The relationship between the staff and the owners is a lot better than most other places you'll see. The staff and owners are all friendly and welcoming which helps make the atmosphere as nice as it is. I would definitely recommend going to the Roaches Lock if you're looking for a 10/10 experience by yourself or with others.

Spot on !Ps: Guilty dog still begged in hope for some Roaches Roast beef ?

I’ve been coming here for years after walking locally and always recommended this place. After today I won’t be again.I ordered the fish and chips and the fish was extremely tough and foul tasting so I didn’t eat it. The young girl asked If it was ok to which I explained it was not and asked for the bill. I ended up having to walk to the bar to pay and asked again with the same reply. “oh I’m sorry about that” she said while taking the money, very casually.I would not return nor recommend this place again. Definitely a new chef but usually the staff are great too? Disappointed and felt robbed when leaving. Solo diner.
What a great pub the roach and lockGreat atmosphere fabulous foodExcellent staff will definitely be going

Tried here after being disappointed by Sunday menu available at another local pub. Although we hadn't booked we were seated and served quickly. Food was delicious and service excellent - will definitely return.

I just wanted to send a quick email to say how much we enjoyed our Christmas day dinner with the Roaches Lock.We have had a mixed experience with other venues over that last few years and I was worried that as the person organising it that things may not have worked out.From all my family who attended I can say that this was the best Christmas day experience that we have had in 8 years of eating out on Christmas day.The staff were fantastic, food was perfect and the experience was genuinely what we wanted Christmas day to be.Thank you for everything.Please let me know when the book is open for next year as we would love to book again.Jonny
