Logan Rock Inn - Treen United Kingdom

In Winter when you find a pub opened in this area of the UK, you feel very lucky! It was a cute little pub to get ourself warmed and something to eat. They serve classic, cheap comfort food which was what we were looking for in this cold weather. Both pies were very good, especially the fish pie, onions rings were ok. The best dish was for sure their homemade brownie served warm with some ice cream on top.

The Logan Rock Inn is very popular, so you must have a reservation however our experienced was pretty poor and we are, quite frankly, surprised at some of the reviews! We had very mixed service and distinctly average food; one of us had the veggie bean burger allegedly with salad) which was absolutely awful it looked like it was a frozen burger straight out of a packet : There wasn't any fresh salad with it at all it was some limp lettuce and a slice of tomato in the burger bun. This is pretty poor in this day and age as a vegetarian offering! The fish and chips were slightly better but nothing special. We assume the popularity is more to do with location than the quality of the food, attention to detail, presentation or the service. To make matters worse, we had asked the lady behind the bar when she took our dinner order if they still had sticky toffee pudding as it was on the specials board) and she said yes, there was lots of it left so we wouldn't have a problem. By 7pm when we had finished dinner and tried to order dessert she looked blankly at us and said they didn't have any left. We thought she was joking as she had known we would be ordering it. Anywhere else would likely have asked us earlier if we still wanted it once she knew it was running low bearing in mind we were sitting at the tiny table directly next to the bar)....or even better she might have reserved a piece each for us as all 3 of us had said we would like it). To be honest, with the awful veggie burger and frozen packet chips it might have been a godsend that they had run out of sticky toffee pudding. It would probably would have been just as disappointing! We would definitely not recommend and would not return.

Rock me baby, the Logan Rock Inn is steeped in local folk law and legend, named after the 'logan rock ' or rocking rock that the cad Lieutenant Hugh Goldsmith, R.N. (nephew of the famous poet Oliver Goldsmith) levered off the Logan Rock headland cliff top in 1824 he got BANNED. (He did replace it at great personal expense but was never given a tab after that). The pub is a cosy local, with reasonable food good selection of local drinks and perfect for a thirst quencher after a day being baked and salted on the local beaches. A garden at the rear and a couple of tables at the front allow room for open air conviviality and there is a small dining hall for families not wanting to share the pub atmosphere with little kids. Excellent all round then.
