Excellent food in a beautiful location, and service was spot on - staff were clear around timescales for food (longer than usual due to holiday season), but when it arrived, it was obviously fresh and cooked expertly. There is plentiful parking (paid for - download the Justpark app), very dog friendly with lots of space inside and outside.

Wonderful position with sea views from certain positions of the restaurant. The menu is small but well cooked and very tasty, we have eaten at this venue a few times and will be returning. Staff are genuinely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu, also great local cider, crisp and refreshing. We have a Rottweiler who is always welcomed by the staff. Well worth walking on the 5 mile long beach and to return to a fantastic meal. Try for yourselves to see the quality.

Thank you very much for your review, we're very happy to hear you enjoyed your meal. Four legged friends of all shapes and sizes are always welcome at The Rockpool and it's great for us to know that your Rottweiler always enjoys their visit too! Ending a walk with a crisp, local cider and a bite to eat is a great way to do so in our opinion! See you again soon.
