Got to Experience

Kick back at Hooked on the Rocks this summer

Nothing captures the spirit of a Cornish summer better than a dip in its azure waters followed by fresh local seafood. At Hooked on the Rocks, just yards from Swanpool beach near Falmouth, you can enjoy this experience daily. Open every day, it offers a perfect spot for al-fresco dining. Enjoy local, sustainable seafood like lobsters, crabs, scallops, and daily fish. Try the hot shellfish platter for two, wild prawns with nduja butter, or classic battered haddock and chips. The simple wine list features selections from sustainable producers. If you prefer, indulge in some of Falmouth’s own Loveday gin, Twin Fin rum and High Point’s non-alcoholic spirits. Visit the Seahorse Outdoor Bar for drinks, snacks, and live music. The friendly, high-end service makes for an unforgettable experience.
