Customer Review Summary
Diners single out the Camembert sharer and slow cooked pork belly with baked apple as standout dishes, with several also praising the honey and truffle Camembert and Sunday lunch. The pub earns consistent acclaim for its welcoming atmosphere, stylish interior, and valley views, while many highlight the wide drink selection and dog-friendly policy. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and professional, with multiple reviewers noting staff went the extra mile for special occasions. A recurring negative centers on portion size and quality, with one reviewer reporting mediocre salmon, undercooked prawns, and a poor apple crumble that was replaced, alongside complaints of overpriced lasagne and tea with an off taste.

“Lovely, dog-friendly pub :) My partner and I have been in a few times now, once for lunch and twice for breakfast. The service is always great, especially as a coeliac they always make sure I’m looked after. Great selection of gluten free food and always delicious!”
- Bobby Lane
“Amazing location overlooking the valley. Inside is stylish and elegant dining area and a walkers style dog friendly main bar. Excellent wide choice of drinks and reasonable prices. The food looked and smelt delicious but we didn't eat there. Would love to return and try the food. Large easy car park”

“We were recommended here for the food, which was fantastic. It has a great view opposite the pub and inside is welcoming. The staff are amazing, thank you Owen and Adam , who looked after us so well at a birthday lunch out and went the extra mile to make it special and memorable. I highly recommend this place, delicious food, wonderful staff and lovely surroundings. You could not ask for more, it was also very reasonablely priced for the great food we thoroughly enjoyed. This place wins on all counts I can't wait to go again”

“We have not been to the Rodney for a couple of years as the food wasn’t good on two occasions, I hoped that things would have improved- unfortunately they haven’t which is a shame as it’s a lovely pub with friendly staff. I ordered the salmon which was mediocre at best, it came with a lukewarm sauce with prawns that didn’t look like they were cooked and semi hard boiled potatoes. My friend had the lasagne- I very small portion she said it was just ok but very overpriced for what it was. We then both ordered the apple crumble - we were suprised at how small the portions were and thought we maybe had ordered the mini version by mistake - we hadn’t. The apple crumble was so bad we had to send it back, we did have replacement desserts and they were much better. We both had a small pot of tea, this had a background taste of sterilising tablets. Such a disappointment and waste of money, we will not visit again.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
