The food here is to die for. The friendly and knowledgeable waiting staff are a credit to their craft and the wines are superb... and all the while, you are looking out over the sandy beach of Porthminster, gazing over the bay toward Godrevy Lighthouse in the sunset... does it get any better than this?

About the restaurant

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.

We had an excellent meal. I had the steamed Newlyn cod and my partner had the whole plaice. Both were beautifully cooked. The setting of the restaurant is great and helped by the wonderful weather. We will return.

We made a last minute reservation here with our toddler and dog. We loved it. Liked the look of the menu before we booked and wasn’t disappointed. The ethos on the staff T-shirts is great food, great beer and great staff. And tick, tick, tick from us. We had a good table and enough room for the dog to lie down next to us on his mat. Our toddler loved the fish and chips. And we had fish tacos which were sublime. Thank you Sharksfin!

About the restaurant

Porthminster Kitchen serves up a refreshing, playful take on Cornish cuisine, introducing a menu of smaller plates and lighter options which combine global flavours, fresh local ingredients and creative cooking.

We have stripped out much of what is unnecessary; dairy and gluten take a backseat in favour of fresh and exciting textures and flavours.

Porthminster Kitchen enjoys awe-inspiring panoramic views from its location in the heart of St Ives. From your vantage point above the harbour, escape the hustle and bustle and relax on our sun-drenched terrace, or gaze out from huge windows and take in the 180° view.
