Originally launched in our pub some 15 years ago the concept was there but it's only now having relaunched in late 2025 after a 6 year absence that we have the quality local produce & custom made presentation to match.
What is the Hot Rock? The Hot Rock is a unique steakhouse dining experience & different way of enjoying a steak, as far as we can tell we are the only venue in or near Staffordshire that offers something like this.
Your chosen cut of meat is simply seared by our chef (quickly charred on the outside to add colour whilst ensuring there is no cooking on the inside). The steak is then presented on a 400°c volcanic stone along with a full array of steak accompaniments including a home made steak sauce of your choice... this immediately transforms your table into a stage where smoke, hisses & crackles & the smell of premium grade charring steak can be found, each slice can be cooked to your own spec & the flavour the volcanic stone injects into the steak is something no grill or pan can match. Believe us when we say this does turn heads, food theatre at its finest but the quality in the produce is there to back it up.
"Steak is a luxury item in 2026, so with the new Hot Rock we have decided to give the ultimate luxury dish the ultimate presentation. Unique & exciting, this is what steak lovers deserve"
- [Edward, Landlord]
All our Steaks come from our Peak District butcher & all their meat come from Peak District farms. Consistency is key.
To enjoy a premium cut of steak, is to enjoy a premium dish & therefore the presentation has to match, this creates a complete dining experience from start to finish
Consistency is key, our Hot Rocks have already proved their worth with repeat customers on a weekly basis coming back to enjoy the experience. Given the temperatures involved they are not suitable for children, for up to date steak options & pricing please read our weekday menu.
Launching on Tuesday 29th of September
Experience the Hot Rock but with smaller steak offerings at a more affordable price should you be on a budget.
Aside from our regular Hot Rock options we will be adding; 8oz Rumps, 6oz Sirloin & 5oz Fillet on Tuesday evenings only

We shall be back open as usual on Thursday the 24th of September at 12pm. Same food & same team
