Feedback
Reviews praise The Rockpool's stunning coastal views, seafood and dog-friendly vibe, but note inconsistent service, occasional poor dish execution and surprise parking charges.
This is a lovely spot to grab a meal or enjoy a drink after a pleasant stroll along the beach.
I paid for parking but forgot to register my vehicle, so I received a ticket. I appealed the ticket, but my parking fee ended up going to a local business. It seems like a scam. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't advise others to park at Rockpool if they value their money. Jose.
Lula at The Rockpool, over priced, poor quality, forgot to bring our mains but I wish they hadn’t bothered. Was really looking forward to ribs and seafood, what a disappointment!! I could genuinely do 10 times better myself at home, and I’m an average cook. Really annoys me when you pay good money and get **** food.
Issued with a £100 fine for overstaying a paid parking session in the Rockpool's car park by a few minutes. Our toddler was having a meltdown. Car park was 3/4 empty at the time. Appeal rejected. Disgraceful. Avoid these profiteers!

FAQ
More information
The Rockpool often leans into a relaxed, beach-canteen presentation—some dishes are served tray-style or with casual plating to reflect the coastal vibe; if you prefer a more formal presentation, a polite request typically helps the kitchen adapt.
