Service was outstanding, friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend Rockfish!

I thought the Frito Misto was slightly overpriced, but I enjoyed what I had.... There was a £1 donation added to the bill for "Torbay Holiday Helpers Network", go here for more details: http://www.thhn.co.uk/about-us Note the restaurant was extremely busy, and closes at 22:00, and was turning away customers at that time. We were lucky to be squeezed in at the last moment for 08:45. The staff were extremely busy, but jus about coped. Well done them. Served by three people. A star dropped only based on the price and the quantity with regards to the Frito Misto.

Everything seems so easy, apart from choosing from a great menu.

All rounded off with homemade ice creams. The place seemed fairly new when I was here a couple of years ago but now seems settled into it's niche by the old mill and doing very nicely thank you. Excellent friendly service and unbelievably good value for money. Nothing more need be said. Enjoy and sue me if you don't agree!

My companions had a seafood appetizer and as I didn't see anything left on the plates, know if was good. I had the haddock and chips as a main which was fantastic. Probably the best fish and chips I've had. My boyfriend had the hake and chips, which was a more local fish. He preferred its texture which was a little larger chunk to my haddock, and I was a fan of both and would have happily eaten either again. That is to say I'm also not a big seafood person, so if I'm able and wiling to eat an entire plate of fish you know it's great. My only complaint was that they didn't have their tree up quite yet. Awesome location on a sunny day! In times of Covid, it's important to be patient with businesses and while there was a bit of a wait for drink refills and ketchup, overall our service was great. The manager came out as we were walking out after our meal and apologized for the wait, which was unnecessary but really nice. Can't wait to return next year when we visit.

They are dog friendly and all the dogs were very well behaved. We had the seafood linguine (probably one of the best things we've ever eaten), the fish and chips and the crabby fries. The haddock was really nice and the crabby fries were delicious, but the fries do get pretty soggy so that was the only downfall. The sticky toffee pudding was really good and the toffee sauce was yummy. They had a few dessert option including creme brûlée and ice cream too. I absolutely can't recommend this place enough. My mum and sister are going again later in the week and I'm jealous I have to go back up north!

We were late (don't trust your SatNav system to find it) so missed the tractor ride down but they promptly collected us in the car park. Started with an apple brandy aperitif and that let us know it would be a great night. I am not a big brandy fan but this was great (ended up buying two bottles), easy to drink and refreshing. Followed by two canapés. We were then given some time to walk the premises. I particularly liked the garden, where they grow different veg and herbs. And the views are beautiful Seated for dinner and two more canapés. Also had a chance to order from the bar. As I was driving, had to pass on most of the options but still wanted to try something so went with their local Cranberry drink. I am not usually a fan of fizzy soft drinks but ended up drinking two of these, it was very tasty and refreshing. First proper course was a fattoush salad, with goat cheese, tomato, cucumber and herbs. Very flavorful, it almost came to life with the herbs. Second course was a smoked hake and mashed potato dish. Very interesting, like the way the hake came through. Main course was pork loin from the farm and it was incredible. Smoked flavor but not too smokey, very tender. Accompanied by multiple vegetables. Finally, had a meringue with various fruits and sauces for dessert. Great, much better than I expected. Normally meringue is too sweet but with all the ingredients this one was complex and tasty. With coffee, they also gave us honeycomb (tasted a little burnt to me) and and a sweet made out of beetroot (very interesting). My wife can't stop raving about the experience, as she is a fan of the show and it was an experience. I can't stop raving about the food, every course was so vibrant and complex. You have to go, make a weekend out of it.

We thought we'd treat my parents to a lunch as we were staying in the area and everyone was pretty excited that we were actually going to a 'famous restaurant' for lunch. The place is lovely, decor is fantastic, the shelves are full of local (if a little over priced) produce and it took us a while to see that there was actually a big warehouse-style room out back. When we walked in, nobody was there to acknowledge us and had no idea who to talk to or where to go if we wanted a table. After milling around for a bit I just walked straight through past the kitchen and out back and called over a waitress to ask how this worked...she just sat us down. It smelled good, is a great open space...and, uh, where is the waitress? She was quite incompetent throughout unfortunately, she stayed professionally disingenuous and uninterested in anything we had to say. She forgot we had asked for a high-chair, she forgot one of our drinks, she took forever to take our order and the place wasn't even half full. The food was decent, not as amazing as I'd hoped it would be but good nonetheless. The service here really did let down the whole experience, we even had to wipe clean the high chair ourselves (when it finally arrived at the second time of asking) as it was covered in left-overs from the previous nipper. In short, I am glad I can tick this one off as 'done'. I will not be making an effort to come back to the restaurant, but I will most definitely come back for some of that local cheddar from the deli counter out front, that stuff was?is amazing!
