A famous largely unspoilt old Melbourne house opened in 1842. There is a blue plaque for Archbishop John Potter who grew up here when it was a draper's shop. An arched, tiled façade leads into this compact city centre local, where there is a warm welcome and comfy interior with many photographs of old Wakefield adding to the proper pub feel. The Rock has been a bastion of comfort for the ale drinkers of Wakefield and now offers up to four guest beers. Drinkers are encouraged to suggest beers they would like to try. Branch Pub of the Year 2016. Christmas decorations here are legendary!

The pub has an entrance on two different streets, Cross Square and

Bread Street, which is unusual. Camra award winning pub consecutive years 2021/2022
