Very nice small restaurant. Was previously a cafe? Incredible variety of amazing flavours in the food and drink. Quite a youthful team, but service is great too. Some of the homemade drinks are fantastic. And care is taken with vegetarian options. Overall the team deliver an outstanding experience. It’s expensive yes. But it’s special.

Loved everything about our time in Emilia, the food was exceptional as were the two front of house staff who managed the restaurant so competently throughout service. Highlights in no particular order: vermouth, ragu, pumpkin. Thank you so much

The Rock Inn is a friendly 17th Century Inn in Georgeham, and boasts five cask marque real ales, and an extensive wine list. Our fantastically fresh food is cooked with passion and flair, and is served either beside our cosy fireside bars or in our bright and airy conservatory.

We had a lovely family meal in the restaurant. The specials menu was great, my husband and I had fish, which was delicious. Our children had bolognaise and a chicken burger. All extremely tasty, thanks for a great night.

Good food at a reasonable price with acceptable service. One thing detracted from the night though. We ordered 4 desserts, after a delay we were told that the 4 items we ordered weren't available. Unusual, but that's what happens sometimes, there was nothing else on the menu that we wanted and so we asked for the bill. When it came, we had been charged for the desserts. No doubt this was an honest mistake, but it was a careless mistake and one which just took the edge off the evening.

What a top spot. We went for brunch & took our dog. We were all greeted with such warmth & friendliness. The setting is quirky & interesting, the ambience was laid back & cosy. My scrambled egg was cooked perfectly & my husband’s full English was (in his words) the best he’s had in ages! Great Bloody Mary’s too. We will definitely be returning, next time to try their lunchtime menu, which sounds delicious.

Plymouth

About the restaurant

In 2017 Holly and Ali moved down to Plymouth for a new life away from London. Passion for all things pizza and years of hospitality life brought about Knead pizza.

Starting in Plymouth market and honing our skills to try and work out our perfect pizza. We moved into The LHA garden in 2019 due to that thing we wont mention and started cooking with flame. We got ever closer to cracking and adapting the truest of neopolitan style dough into a perfectly soft, neo neapolitan light and flavoursome crust.

Now after a stroke of luck we’ve moved to the amazing Prysten House 1498. It’s one of the oldest buildings in Plymouth built by Thomas Yogge, with a real Tuscan villa vibe and courtyard, Grade 1 listed and also the inspiration for Yogge our new pizza pal.
