Cornwall LivingIssue #123

A buzzing atmosphere

Fresh seafood, shellfish and a buzzing atmosphere at hooked on the rocks.

Perched on the rugged Cornish coastline overlooking the crystalline waters of Swanpool beach, Falmouth, at Hooked On The Rocks, you couldn’t be closer to the sea! The venue is predominantly a seafood bar and restaurant specialising in the freshest, locally sourced produce that Cornwall has to offer, from land and sea. The bar is also stocked to bursting with local beers, cocktails and specialist wines. Unsurprisingly, it gets incredibly busy, so booking is essential!

For those who don’t want the whole experience, or just want to enjoy some drinks, be sure to head to Hooked On The Rocks’ sister venue located just next door, Seahorse Bar & Bubbles. Open from 9am serving the freshest pastries and artisan coffee, a stripped back menu is available throughout the day. Simply turn up, order drinks from the bar and take a seat as you enjoy the sea views. With a DJ playing on selected dates, there’s a great atmosphere for simply kicking back and enjoying summer holiday vibes.
