On the Rocks

About On the Rocks

Cooking your own steak on a searing lava stone at the table turns dinner into something children actually watch rather than fidget through, and the staff take the time to explain how it works before anyone touches anything. Meat quality is the draw — the fillet gets rave mentions, the sauces too — but there's imaginative veggie and vegan cooking alongside it, so a mixed family isn't stuck. High chairs, a kids' menu and free parking are all sorted, and the mood is informal and sociable rather than hushed. Two things to know: the restaurant sits upstairs above a drinks-only bar, so don't be put off at the door, and the hot stones make it smoky — one visitor warns you'll "smell like a smoke house" afterwards. Two courses and wine ran roughly £120 for two, though mains are 15% off Monday to Wednesday after 6pm.
