Wanted to share a great (in a weird way) experience my family had at Rocca at the weekend, and had to wait til I'd had my 12 week scan to out myself as pregnant!!


We've always had great family meals at Rocca in the village, food is good and staff are lovely with children. We decided to go along at the weekend on a very hot day. Despite having thought I'd kept my nausea-filled self cool all day, I clearly wasn't feeling my best as I managed to semi-pass out in the corridor en route to the loo. A very kind customer led me back to my table outside and then the Rocca staff kicked in: cold flannels, ice buckets and even the manager fanning me. It was all very embarrassing but I felt so rotten (had forgotten fainting feels like you're dying!) that I couldn't have been more grateful for their care. My waitress Lucia was so lovely to us and to my slightly bewildered 2 year old. And in fact the team kindly took him inside to a cooler area to eat his dinner and sat with him while I perked up with my husband at my side. Thanks to their lovely service I managed to recover well enough to eat all my lasagne (big deal for me at the moment as can hardly stomach anything) and we left with smiles on our faces!


All too often you read a bad review or a negative experience with staff so I thought it was definitely important to mention how superb all at Rocca were to us. Family-friendly all round, thank you Lucia and everyone at Rocca!! Email to manager on way too.

Another recommendation for Rocca from me! Went there for first time last month after I got sick of my Mum raving about it. Staff really friendly and they didn't make me leave pram in particular area when we sat down to eat or fold it down. They are also are much better than Pizza Express at toddler meals, really cheap for a freshly made pizza (think it was about ?4) for my 2 year old - and they went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable despite it being busy and super hot. It's really nicely done inside and the food is great value for money - think most expensive main is about ?14 (fresh fish), they have nice wines and free chilled bottles of filtered water for the table. My mother in law who is half Sicilian insists she eat there everytime she comes down so I imagine the food is very authentic too. Defo recommend for family meal...


Sorry to hear about your semi-blackout BST that happened to me last time but at the DKH Sainsburys who were equally nice and got me a chair to sit in the queue at the checkout and also offered to buy me a coffee at Starbucks! Think in general society is very helpful ;-)

    • My last paragraph was relevant. I was in central London having a meal with family on the same day as the recent large right wing march. The date of the  meal was arranged before it was known about the march, and the venue was convenient for one of my brothers and his partner, who had travelled down from the midlands and had a hotel and theatre tickets booked near the venue. It was just up the road from Trafalgar Square, and my partner and I were seriously concerned on the way there and the way back that we would encounter violent people from the march. Luckily we were able to avoid this, but as I expect you will have read, several police officers were injured, and a friend of mine was amongst a group of counter protesters who were hemmed in by marchers for hours, which was obviously very frightening. The group had to be protected by police before they were finally able to get a safe passage out. Therefore, I don't think my last paragraph was unnecessary at all in the context of when I personally feel unsafe in London. I am not "going through a bad patch", beansprout, not am I "having a bad day ". Nor do I need to "get things off my chest". I am interested to know how you think I have "totally changed my tune"? Could you give some examples from before and after I "changed my tune"? Perhaps you would like to come and discuss your opinion of me face to face? I am very easy to find. I run gigs and Singarounds locally with my lovely partner, and we have organised two Forum Drinks, with a break over the summer.  We will be organising an October meet up soon, so perhaps you would like to come to that, if music isn't your thing? You could take the opportunity to meet some other forum posters as well 
    • You know what? Interesting how memories are triggered.. And what memories.. what I love about this forum, are several things.. support, advice,  buy and sell, free stuff.. Glad as well, that one each one  looks after each other..in their own way… Thank you so much, new admin person for wha you do, and taking up the helm, when, this forum was possibly going to close…
    • Funny you should say that, Sephiroth.   I somewhat oddly still remember passing though Gloucester at the tail end of a cycling holiday decades ago, and getting the feel just from the street activity, cycling through the centre, that I didn't even want to stop and look around.  Tewkesbury, otoh, just up the road, I'd had plenty of time for.   How 'justified' my Gloucester vibes then, who knows?  Chalk and cheese, of course.  Horses for courses. ...
