Before Covid it wasn't a highly regarded pub in Porthcawl - say the current owners of the Rock Inn. But Rob and Mariah Leonhardt have completed something of a transformation of a bar many would have avoided in the past.
Since they took over in 2019, it has now become the place for foodies in the area, and beyond. With a pizza oven, popular steaks, a thriving open mic night and a chef who takes inspiration from food from the Philippines- they have turned the place around. Now, the pub has just been named the Regional Gastropub of the South East at Food Awards Wales. And married couple Rob and Mariah couldn’t be more delighted.
It is clear there are many different facets to the business when you walk inside the Rock Inn. When you first go through the door, you’re met with a cosy, traditional bar area with a lovely, local feel.
