Eat Seafood in Poole
Our Rockfish seafood restaurant in Poole is set in the beautiful old pottery building on Poole Quay, a boat haven overlooking the water. Home to the impressive RNLI headquarters and just along the quay from the RNLI Lifeboat Museum. Our seafood restaurant in Poole has a spacious dining room with high, vaulted ceilings, a bar and an open kitchen from which we serve fresh, sustainably caught seafood. You can enjoy local fish landed that day cooked to order for you on the chargrill or crisp fried and served with unlimited chips or a salad. Your server will explain the day’s availability and the different ways in which our chefs can cook it to order for you. We have our own boat Rockfisher which catches fish for us every daily along the Devon and Dorset coast which we supplement with fish we select each morning from Brixham Fish Market. You can also enjoy The Chart room, our private dining room which is ideal for a special occasion or family celebration meal. We also have a few tables outside subject to availability and weather depending.
