Nothing quite captures the spirit of a Cornish summer than following a summertime dip in its azure waters with a plate of lusciously fresh local seafood. Happily, that's just the experience to be found here at Hooked on the Rocks, which is just yards from the shore of Swanpool beach near Falmouth.

Visit to experience local, sustainable seafood such as Falmouth Bay scallops, Falmouth Bay lobster or crab, whole fish from Newlyn Fish Market or a Shellfish Platter to share, all designed to satiate the appetite of any sandy‑toed gourmet.

Dogs are welcome in our heated awning area or on our sea view terrace.

Head Chef: Jack Frame

    Superb meal, pre Christmas lunch for 2, prawn crudo, lobster thermidor, skinny fries and chestnut sprouts. Poached pear with ginger was a delight too. If you really enjoy a place, it automatically has value. Wine list takes a great alternate path, loved the chilled Pinot from Languedoc We’ll be back

    Excellent food and look forward to returning. Lovely location with excellent views. The waitress could have given better customer service with more understanding of our circumstances of our niece having a new born baby and therefore delayed in arriving.

    Excellent all round - staff in particular are very good and attentive. Food is very high quality, save perhaps for the excess of butter in a couple of dishes (the whole plaice could have done with less so that the fish could shine through, though it was a superb piece of fish)

    We felt very rushed. Didn't have enough time to read drinks menu before waiter came, same with food. Plates weren't cleared from snacks to starters. For the prices charged the food should be outstanding.

    Great location,great food. Just a shame they decided to charge a 12. 5% service charge. They should pay their staff more and not expect the clientele to subsidise the wages. Let's not get into a USA culture. Spoilt the evening.

    A nice place to go for a special birthday. Staff were really friendly and a good range of dishes to choose from. The scallop starter was amazing and the lobster main course was a good size and very tasty.

    I felt the food was pretty average. My husband had scallops and fried fish. He said both were good. I had fish curry which was just ok. The dessert we both had was pavlova and was poor. Tasted too sweet and shop bought. The service was good but overall it was an expensive meal.
