We are open from 12pm Wednesday to Sunday serving food till 8.30pm (7pm on Sundays)
Yes, we do take reservations. You can either call us directly on 01538 300324 or make a reservation through our website, just click the 'BOOKINGS' button at the top. Friday evening & weekend booking is strongly advised
Yes, we have two bar areas, both of these areas as well as the separate Hikers Snug room are dog friendly.
Yes we are, simply turn up and park on our front carpark, across the road from the pub, staying here is free, we only ask that you use the pub for drinks and or food for each day you plan on staying. You don't have to book your motorhome in but we do advise booking a table for food especially if you plan on staying a Friday night or weekend. Toilet access is strictly during our opening hours. We don't currently offer electrical hook-up
So the Roaches are a popular walking, hiking & climbing destination. If you walk from our pub then you are roughly 20-25 minutes away from the foot of the Roaches depending on how fast you walk. You can park nearer but parking is restricted, don't whatever you do park on the grass verge or block access to any farms, many people have been fined by the council for doing this.
So as of 2026 it is our understanding that the tearooms is permanently closed, naturally that is subject to change & we will update this as and when we hear differently. The Rock Inn is the closest public venue to the Roaches
Feel free to park in our carpark, we don't charge, we do however politely ask that you come in and buy a drink to show your support, this helps us keep the carpark free
We are a free house, meaning we are free of tie to any brewery. We offer home made food with table service as standard. Of course you can go to the bar and order a drink but food orders are strictly taken at the table
We accept all Visa & Mastercard Credit & Debit cards, American Express as well as cash payments. We do however ask that you be sensible with cash, i.e. don't use a £20 note to buy a bag of crisps as change is increasingly harder to come by.
Yes we have a dedicated DOC-M compliant disabled washroom with a baby changing unit. For disabled people in wheelchairs we advise parking on our rear carpark in the dedicated disabled bays, this gives straightforward easy access to the pub via the rear entrance which is on one level. We do advise phoning or submitting a note with any online booking if you require a table with wheelchair access just so we know to expect you.
Certainly, drinkers are always welcome, if you see a table with just beer mats on that usually means we have kept it free for drinkers, these are usually around the bar areas of the pub. You can also sit at the bar. Please don't sit at a table pre-set for dining without speaking with a member of staff first.
While we have a very good team of people we are limited in number so our ability to do larger tables is reduced. When we can do bigger tables mid week, say up to 12, potentially more, these would require a preorder & potentially a reduced menu offered. As of 2026 onwards the most we do at weekends is tables of 6 without exception, if for example there are 8 of you wanting a table on a Saturday night then you will be offered 2 tables of 4, we will try to seat you near each other but your food order will be taken separately.
