Seafood restaurant in Poole

On the quay, in the old pottery warehouse, with the harbour out the window.

Book a table View Menu

Set in a beautiful old pottery warehouse right on Poole Quay, our restaurant looks out across one of the largest natural harbours in the world, a busy haven for fishing boats, ferries bound for Brownsea Island, and the RNLI, whose historic headquarters sit just along the water.

Inside, the space is open and full of light, with high vaulted ceilings, a buzzing open kitchen and a view straight onto the water. From the chargrill to the fryer, our chefs cook fish landed in Brixham that very morning. Always fresh, and always simply.

Poole has made things by the water for centuries, pottery from this very building among them, and the quay is still the liveliest place in town to eat, drink and watch the boats. Whether you're here for lunch, a celebration in our private Chart Room, or just a dinner with a view, this is seafood in its element.

A collage of the communities Rockfish support

Rooted in Community

We believe a restaurant should be part of its community, not just a place in it. Thanks to the generosity of our guests, who can choose to add an optional £1 to their bill, Rockfish supports local charities, community projects and inspirational people doing brilliant things close to home, in every harbour and seaside town we call home across Devon and Dorset. From youth clubs and sailing trusts to beach cleans and seaside festivals, discover what guest generosity is doing in your town.

Dog friendly dining in Poole

The quay is a fine place to be a dog, and four-legged crew are very welcome at Rockfish Poole. Water bowls are always at the ready, so after a harbourside wander or a sandy morning at the beach, there's no better spot for you both to refuel.

Dining outside in Poole

We have a handful of tables outside on the quay, where you can enjoy the finest fresh seafood, grilled or fried, overlooking the water when the weather allows. Nothing beats this style of casual coastal dining: sustainably caught seafood, eaten outside by the harbour. Outdoor tables are subject to availability and weather, with full table service from the restaurant menu.
