The Rock Inn

About

The Rock Inn, affectionately known as the "Wet Rock", has been a cornerstone of Yelverton since the 19th century. Boasting a rich history as a coaching house and a longstanding family‑owned free house, it offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere for both locals and visitors. Guests can explore three distinct bars – the spacious Lounge, the cosy Farmers Bar, and the lively Back Bar – each with its own character, catering to a range of tastes from hearty pub grub and fresh pies to locally‑sourced curries and Sunday roasts. The pub’s celebrated selection of Westcountry real ales and wines, particularly the renowned Jail Ale, showcases the region’s best brews, while the open‑air patio and parking are praised for convenience. Beyond its culinary delights, The Rock Inn is a cultural hub hosting the annual Rockfest each July, drawing music fans from across Devon for a weekend of live performances. The venue’s historic charm is amplified by photographs of its evolution, and its free‑wifi and full‑bar service make it a popular gathering point for families, history enthusiasts, and beer connoisseurs alike. Whether you’re stopping in for a pint, a meal or a live music night, the pub’s friendly staff and relaxed policy – including dog‑friendly corners and a family‑friendly environment – ensure a memorable stay for all ages. The pub welcomes visitors on a wide variety of days and times: it opens early on weekdays and stays open late on weekends, providing ample opportunity for a weekend getaway or a quick daytime visit. Overall, The Rock Inn seamlessly blends historic ambiance, excellent local brews, and vibrant community events in a comfortable setting.
