“The Rocket Store, Cornwall: A brilliant, unexpected little spot that’s totally worth the detour…

What People Are Saying…

“This compact restaurant sits within a 19C store which once housed the coastguard’s horse-drawn rocket firing equipment. The blackboard lists small plates and whole fish dishes; most of the produce is supplied by the owner’s father who, as well as being the harbourmaster, owns a boat and runs a small farm.”

— THE MICHELIN GUIDE

“The Rocket Store, Cornwall: A brilliant, unexpected little spot that’s totally worth the detour… The focus is on ingredients, but not in a “we won’t bother to cook them” way. They have a farm nearby, Trebiffen, and a fishing boat, and treat the produce with the right amount of respect….

In a lovely old village this is a haven of 21st-century hospitality, which takes the best ingredients Cornwall has to offer and elevates them with thought and care.”

“When you watch people who are untrained, original, and executing to industry-leading levels, you know the talent has come from somewhere deep within and from a place that breeds that creativity along with the ability to evolve an idea into something real. ”
