Quick info
About The Rock Cross Inn
Food at The Rock Cross Inn arrives just once a week, with Sunday lunch the only service and a Sunday roast at the centre of it. Tables for that meal can be booked ahead. Desserts run to Sticky Toffee Pudding alongside cheesecake and warm chocolate cake. The rest of the week the pub, on Rock Cross in Kidderminster, works as a drinking room, with a selection of real ales and beers plus a local gin, and seating at the bar. A pool table, dartboard and jukebox fill out the space. Dogs are welcome inside, so walkers can bring them along. The doors open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday lunch is what draws nearly every visitor, described as the one day food is served and repeatedly called tasty, substantial and reasonably priced, with one reviewer likening it to a good home cooked meal that gives you a hug. Puddings come up close behind, with separate diners singling out the cheesecake and a warm chocolate cake. Beyond the roast, several point to the good selection of ales and beer plus local gin, and one lists the pool table, jukebox, dartboard and a nice bar to sit at as ticking all the boxes. Friendliness runs through almost every account, from the bar staff to the landlord, and reviewers describe it as a traditional village local that is welcoming rather than grand, with the dog friendly policy drawing its own mentions. Some booked a table ahead and one expressly advises booking. A recurring note is how easily people are accommodated, including one group welcomed in at short notice for a roast after a morning of things going wrong.

“Very friendly and welcomed us in at short notice for a Sunday Roast. It made our day as we'd had a few things go wrong that morning. The food was like a good home cooked meal that gives you a hug. Would definitely go back. Good value too.”
