The burrp! Review of the Month goes to Legend’s review of Le Rock Pub Café. Legend writes:“Firstly the 9 of 10 stars is cause there is always room for improvement. Having said that we had a wonderful time once we settled down. The ambiance is simply awesome well lit (may not be an attraction to cosy couples) the women in our group were dressed up for the evening and were happy with the lighting arrangements as it meant that their outfits were noticeable (unlike other dark and dingy rock pubs).”
