Rockfish Weymouth in Weymouth and Portland

Great coffee and food highly recommend.

Lovely people, great coffee and delicious food on the seafront. Cocktails and beer selection is amazing, wish it was later in the day for me to sample!

I was with my fiance and 2 friends, when one of my friends bought everyone a drink (2 ciders, a beer and a coffee). The bar employee brought the drinks and we all started drinking. A couple minutes later, she came back and IDed my friend (the one who bought the drinks), who did not have ID with him. 3 of us are 27 and 1 of us is 32. She then proceeded to say my friend couldn't drink his beer and then the system for card refunds didnt even work, so she refunded my friend in cash. Additionally, they didn't serve any food. Just appalling service. We are not against ID-ing. It is just that the employee did not ask prior to us buying the drinks: she poored them, brought them over and then she IDed my friend. Just brought such a bad mood to our lovely day.

We came across this place on our first night in Weymouth and I’m pleased we did. The food was great and so was the service, the team couldn’t have been any more accommodating for our family of four plus dog. The seafood was excellent and based on this experience we’d definitely come back here, or visit any of the others in the group

Amazing place to eat if you're visiting weymouth- don't miss out! Food is fantastic- the new menu is absolutely perfect. Good coffee and choice of different bean which is great. Couldn't recommend this place more.

Fantastic dinner. Great service, very reasonably priced food. Two of our group had Monkfish- they were fantastic! One had the ray wing- it was lovely. Child had from the kids menu -grilled cod with chips - was amazing. Another adult had Vegetarian Tacos- Absolutely Lush. We come here often and have quite literally never gad a bad meal. Love it!

You must try out the new menu!! The food is amazing and different to anything else in weymouth. Coffee is lovely (I prefer the single origin to the house blend) and cocktails even better. If you are visiting weymouth do not miss out.

A bar great to have a drink in with a nice atmosphere but they need to change their chef. We paid a pricey £17 for a pot of tea for two and 2 bagels with bacon chicken and avocado. . The bagels were virtually inedible. The small few bits of chicken were tough and the bacon was very over cooked and was like cardboard. I had to leave half of it. It had obviously been badly cooked in a microwave.

What an amazing Restaurant, excellent menu choice, very friendly staff, Lots to chose from, also dog friendly, Some quite different dishes on the menu, not the usual from a fish restaurant. Would recommend a visit for dinner anytime.

Thank you for a great evening. Delicious seafood, great wine, but perfect customer service. Our waitress was Kayleigh, she was very informative and attentive.

From the moment we walked in the door we were overwhelmed by the friendly serice and efficiency of the staff team. And then the food came, wonderful, fresh - great daily fresh dishes and solid favourites on the menu

We were struggling to get food in Weymouth for our coeliac daughter and Rockfish were fully booked so didn’t have any tables when we told them the problem we were having getting her lunch they performed magic and got us a table, the staff were so friendly, so knowledgeable about coeliac, it was a fantastic experience and the food was great too! Thank you so much to you all

Had a great experience at Rockfish. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I orderef one of their daily caught fish dishes, paired with unlimited chips, and it was fantastic. Generous portions and excellent value for money. Highly recommend!

Overpriced, tiny portions. Poor service. Update on reply, after seeing other people's reviews they left , some have only given 1 star. I have left an honest review, I have left many 5 star reviews that are deserving.

Just perfect. Great team. Lovely food. A really slick operation. The Negroni's were excellent. Thanks and well done!!

First time here and didn’t disappoint. Staff all super friendly and efficient. Great offering of fish dishes. We opted for the market fish. Well cooked and tasty. I actually enjoyed the scallops too! You need to be savvy when ordering the sides but I don’t blame the place for trying to upsell…it’s tough times running a restaurant. All in all, we had a great evening, atmosphere is spot on, seafront location fabulous and we enjoyed both courses. We will revisit.

New menu is amazing. Kat was so friendly and makes a great cocktail. Credit to the business. Thank you.

Thought this would be amazing , sadly not , scallops not even going to comment on , tacos , fish strips in in taco bread , sorta like fried fish , chips were ok tho , calamari small , again deep fried , tasteless

You could say we came back to Weymouth purely for this place! We love it , food and drinks are amazing!!

We had a fantastic time in this dog friendly restaurant. Food and service were excellent! Plenty of choice on the menu, we loved the curry sauce and mushy peas!

We visited to grab a quick meal before seeing a show. We wished we had had time to stay for a full meal because we were served a first class main course. The staff were friendly and efficient, explaining exactly which fish they had available that day, what it tasted like and how it would be cooked. My wife chose Megrim and I had Gurnard. Both were cooked perfectly; dare I say a la Rick Stein ? Next time we are in Weymouth an evening at Rockfish is most definitely on the menu.

Delicious Mother’s Day meal! Which started with a Very friendly welcome. Once seated, we were given water & the waitress (Lottie) explained the days catch. We then had appetisers and most of had scallops to start, which were delicious. I then had Lobster as it was Mother’s Day 😃which was so tasty. Throughout the whole experience we were looked after and Lottie kept a check to see if we needed anything else! I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great location and knowledgeable friendly staff. Food was delicious and had great selection of sides. Very tasty. Lovely to have staff who know lots about the different dishes.

Good coffee, friendly service and, above all, the rare trick of combining cafe and bar vibe which can carry from daytime to evening and feel just right for both. Thank you !

We were looking for something a bit special which suited all of us for a family valentine’s lunch whilst holidaying in the area. We had a quick flick through Tripadvisor and spotted Rockfish which looked right up our street. We received a warm welcome, were seated at a lovely cosy table under the heater (needed as it was cold and rainy outside) and were brought menus and water for the table. Loved the impressive array of fresh fish and tasty sides, as well as a lovely children’s menu. We went for the Hake from the menu, the fresh lobster special, two children’s chicken and chips and sides of bottomless chips (they really are bottomless!), curry sauce and an epic anchovy mayo (you have to try it!). The service was fantastic, the decor classy and nautical and you must visit the toilets for a continuation of the lovely decor and a funny take on the shipping forecast. Thoroughly pleased with our choice and will be back!

Super fresh fish which was cooked spot on. Friendly and professional staff. I haven’t had fish that good for a long time.

Had breakfast here and it was amazing, bonus to be able to take your dog kn as well.

lovely place to take family & friends

Popped in for an 'emergency brunch' - our first time here. We ordered the Caffeine Breakfast, a Cheese Toastie, coffee, and a smoothie - shared between two adults and our 7yr old. The food was good quality, the portions just right (not too much, not too little), and the service was great - friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend, and look forward to visiting again soon.

I really enjoyed the food at Rockfish (prawn cocktail followed by gurnard, both very good) but the stand-out from the evening was how friendly the staff were. They were all smiles all evening, and very attentive. The restaurant itself has a good feeling about it, a happy buzz, so my book and I had a lovely evening. Thank you.

I first came across the Rockfish brand in 2021, when myself and a group of friends visited Brixham for New Year, I remember I was blown away by the location on the harbour and the freshness of the fish being landed from sea to shore. I was working away in Weymouth early last year and after a couple of subordinary evening meals I decided I needed a lift, that lift came in the way of the Rockfish. I spent all of a minute scrolling through Tripadvisor, before the Rockfish restaurant caught my eye, I immediately recognised the unmistakable blue and white branding and I was immediately filled with elation and exhilaration. Throughout 2023 I visited the Rockfish Weymouth four times, the first time I visited was April, I dined on my own that evening as it was a last minute find. I didn’t feel alone, the atmosphere of good spirited fellow diners combined with friendly, attentive and polite staff made me feel very at ease as I settled down to peruse the menu. The one thing that really shouts ‘fresh’ are the options that you are presented with when the server circles (in the shape of a fish) the fresh fish of the day on the placemats that sit in front of you on the table. The staff at the Rockfish are notably passionate and knowledgeable about the menu and service that they offer. My following visits have all been with colleagues from work, who I have invited to dine with me whilst working away with business, some of which have advised me that they are not seafood connoisseurs and the thought of going to such an establishment was met with apprehension. Rest assured however, if you, like many, enjoy traditional fish and chips, you’re in safe hands, as the Large line caught Icelandic Haddock does not disappoint, accompanied by bottomless chips and curried mushy peas you are in very safe hands. Im pleased to say I’m a little more adventurous and always make my selection from the special of the day menu. I’m never disappointed with my choice and always leave feeling very satisfied. The drink of choice for me is always the Rockfishes own Seacider, it offers a full-bodied, medium dry taste, it's the perfect way to end the day, or start the night. The Rockfish offers value, location and best of all fresh produce. It’s an absolute must visit if in Weymouth. I’m already conveniently planning my next business trip to Weymouth.

We love going here. Great place to relax in both the day and evening. Delicious food and top quality coffee and cocktails. Dog friendly.

Excellent as it always is. Great choice of fresh fish, well priced. This time I had the brill and it was cooked to perfection. Services always great here , relaxed yet professional. We look forward to coming back again.

Fantastic lunch here today. Food was high quality and well cooked. Portion sizes perfect. We were served by Emilia who we found to be extremely knowledgeable about the food and very friendly. Will definitely return to Rockfish and recommend to friends.

Good coffee, shame about the service. Visited a few times previously, but unfortunately todays experience fell very short in terms of communication/service. Despite several empty tables inside and completely empty seating outside, told too busy to take bookings and turned away. Only to walk past less than 20 minutes later to find the unreserved outside seating full and being served. Hopefully service will improve again outside of winter season, in the meantime plenty of great options further along towards the clock tower

Went for bottomless brunch: 2 hours of bottomless prosecco plus food for £30 per person, or add bottomless draught beer and classic house cocktails for an extra £10 per person. Food was nice but strangely you could not actually order from the brunch menu..at a brunch?? Service was strange, seemed like a lot of new or inexperienced staff, but the Manager was friendly and helpful. There was a good atmosphere and we were even offered a free bottle of Prosecco to celebrate our recent engagement! Would go back, but I think the bottomless offer needs some refining, ie what food is included, prices for people just having beer etc.

Popped in for a quick coffee... It was not very busy, sent drinks back twice as drinks were cold. It appears the staff don't communicate. Maybe due to visiting in winter, looking at other reviews this place is generally good... But unfortunately today was not so good!

Rockfish Weymouth is our number 1 place to eat. The ray wing, mussel, prawns, sticky toffee pudding and tarte tatin were all FABULOUS. As always. We love it here. It’s both low key/homely with incredible food! Order the curry sauce. Special thanks go to Luke our waiter this time who was brilliant. Including when our little one was upset by hiccups!!

Visited with my wife on a late summer break a couple of months ago and had to revie. Food fantastic, a great spot in town and we had a very enjoyable experience. Our waiter was extremely friendly, unfortunately I can not remember his name. But a very pleasant young man. Will definitely return if and when we are back in the area!

Excellent set meal and friendly professional staff. Recommended without reservation! They are dog friendly too.

A very busy restaurant, I was glad I had booked a table. The waitress was very friendly and advised us on all the fresh fish dishes available. Our son chose the monkfish tail which he thoroughly enjoyed, my husband had the squid which was OK, albeit a bit rubbery. My hake and chips was very good, the batter was extremely light and crispy. The shipping forecast in the toilets is an amusing listen.

Popped in here for coffee and a breakfast muffin. All very good, will be going back soon 😁

We made a very last minute booking during a staycation and were fortunate they managed to fit us in. First time at any Rockfish and it was a great experience. We sat outside and luckily it wasn't cold, but the decor inside was quite funky and unique. We ordered a range of dishes including kids meals and everything was very tasty. Unlimited chips and wow, they were sooooo good - much better than expected!! Everything was so fresh. Would recommend and would return if we were in the area again.

We had a good meal when we ate here, however we were not at all happy with the table that we were given. It is at the front of the restaurant on the right and the table is behind a large pillar. As we'd been looking forward to eating here this was disappointing , as we were not able to enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant and we felt hemmed in. It was a Saturday night, the restaurant was full and so there was no alternative. When asked to review our experience I rated the food with four stars but mentioned this disappointment. The reply I received did not address this issue , why ask for feedback if it isn't addressed?

Amazing food for lunch and the hot chocolate was delicious too

Final meal following an excellent week in Weymouth. Lots of fossil hunting. Beautiful beaches & only one real soaking - not bad for October half term. And so to the meal - staff team were excellent throughout. Our waitress Tiana particularly so. Food was good all the way through. 2 starters we had were excellent - calamari fresh and crispy. Nice light batter. Chickpea fritters a little ball of flavour - particularly with chilli dip. Then to the mains - i had brill for the first time - nicely cooked a v tasty. Wife went for plaice - very light on the palate. Son and I tried to eat as many of the bottomless chips as we could. Managed 4 buckets between us. Oh and some bread for chip butties. One pud was consumed after - a generous chocolate brownie and ice cream. Beers good with the food - a rockfish pale ale. Possibly a tad over priced. But a great meal out for the 3 of us.

If I could give more stars I would. This is the best cafe ever. Seren aged 10

A lovely little coffee shop right next to and overlooking the beach, also doing food, beer, cocktails and service with a smile. Great coffee, glad I stopped by!

We discovered the restaurant by chance while walking along the promenade. It was so good we ate there both nights. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked, the staff were exceptionally helpful and the restaurant was fresh and clean. They’re very dog friendly too. Highly recommended.

Toby explained the fish and cider, Great meal and dessert, Would receive Rockfish as eaten in Brixham and Torquay, Was a pleasure to stay and eat !!!!

Spur of the moment decision and one we didn’t regret. Was surprised to get a walk-in reservation without any restrictions over times and bonus dog friendly too. Great food - we chose from the fresh fish selection and served by the excellent Amelia. The toilets...

Caffeine is one to go to if you are a resident or a visitor. Honestly the best service you will get and they allow dogs and offer a pupcup every time so mine loves this place as much as I do. Food is excellent, never had a bad dish and just a lovely atmosphere. Can sit inside or outside and price is very good for the menu.

We decided to eat here last minute on Monday. The food was ok but not outstanding for the price. The service terrible two young ladies mure interested in chatting at the food service area than working. I needed to get up twice to ask for...

Sunday dinner after watching motocross. Fantastic food, anchovy, prawns, & scallops for starters, Gurnard, monkfish & mussels for mains All were delicious with the Monkfish close to outstanding, good size portions, no-one left hungry. Service started off well but became a bit more haphazard as...

We visited Rockfish last Easter so it was definitely on our list this trip. The meal was very tasty but it’s increased considerably in price, totally understandable of course. We had the Rockfish and Haddock this time, very good. Did want to try something from...

After reading the customer reviews we were disappointed with our evening visit. The portions were small for the price charged and this was reflected by the use of tiny dinner plates. There wasn't an option to choose your particular piece of fish and have it...

I’m on a mini break in Weymouth and Rockfish was recommended by my host . Absolutely fantastic food! I chose the Dover Sole with unlimited chips, both cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. If I visit Weymouth again I...

We arrived as booked at 3.45pm and, as expected at that time, the restaurant was quiet, but we were made to feel very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our special treat meal (for me). We took our time (2 hours in total) to devour prawns, calamari...

Excellent food and brilliant staff. Amazing plaice and haddock. Really exceptional quality. The staff were really attentive and not overly intrusive. All helped to make a fantastic evening. Ella was really amazing. Made a real fuss of hour two dogs too.

Sadly the Trout was not available, but Mackerel had swum in and was excellent. preceded by prawns and whitebait. The haddock was plentiful and the batter divine, and we mixed and matched our sides to take advantage of unlimited chips. The atmosphere is standard across...

Stopped in for an Irish coffee, lovely staff and nice vibe. Will go back later.

Fabulous food and very friendly staff. We asked for the haddock to be grilled rather than deep fried with batter and that was no problem. The dog was made welcome too

We decided to visit here after seeing all of the good reviews and we were definitely not disappointed! Everything was cooked fresh, to a high standard with lots of flavour! This was hands down the best fish & chips I’ve ever had! Trust me, I’ve...

It's OK but a bit overpriced for what you get. The location and decor are nice but we prefer independent restaurants, as a rule.

We came to dine here after our day in Poole and on Brownsea island, a nice restaurant and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Most of us ordered fish and chips of one sort or another, I ordered the hake and very much enjoyed...

First visit to Rockfish, starters (calamari and veg tempura) good, Hake & Haddock excellent and good service. Slightly let down by the price of wine, cheapest Rose £34 I know they have to mark it up but that’s too much for what is a fish...

Excellent night again for us two returning customers. This time inside the venue. Interesting to see my last review of this place, prices have increased since June 2021 by around £10 for mains. That's a substantial increase in these hard times .... but I have...

Excellent seafood restaurant with knowledgeable staff. Fish was cooked to perfection and limitless chips a bonus if you could find room for them. Extremely busy, so you are unlikely to get a table without booking. It's popularity does mean tables are as close together as...

Fantastic atmosphere, the staff couldn't be more friendly and welcoming. The food was out of this world!

It’s always a hit with us Rockfish, but this visit, the food was stunning. In fact, the best fish and chips we’d ever had in our life! Fish and chips doesn’t have to be basic on the pallet and these guys prove that. Mushy peas,...

By far the best fish and chips shop anywhere so good we had to book both our tables the food is amazing and i am ceoliac and they cater brilliant for all gluten free people. The staff are all very friendly and helpful couldn't ask...

As with the Poole branch, great simple seafood, cooked well, and waited on by knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff. Excellent.

Lovely restaurant with great service, we had the tacos and mackerel and both were excellent. The staff were all wonderful, such a delight to meet staff who speak well, are informed of their products and aren't brandishing tattoo's down your throat.

Really lovely, friendly staff. Beautifully decorated cafe and the biscoff frappe was AMAZING. We will be back when we’re in the area.

Just had a stunning meal, first time at a Rockfish and we just booked for later in the week in Torquay Spot on decor and superb service. We were really looked after with a big thank you to Orla for making it special with friendly...

The food was delicious, I had the Rockfish Tacos, and my husband and friends had the Mackerel. Everything was eaten and I would definitely go again. Strongly recommend.

We have eaten at Rockfish in its various locations around the South West over the years. The food is always delicious and the service is excellent. Last night we ate at Rockfish Weymouth. For pre-dinner drinks, two starters, two mains and a bottle of wine...

Fresh haddock(delicious, flakey and not over battered) with unlimited fries (A few steak size but too many scraggly bits) . We also had a side of mushie peas which were a strange shade of green and a bit gloopy) The dish was £22 and the...

Wow! What a place! Fantastic staff, delicious food & wine, could not fault a thing! We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Great atmosphere in the evening for cocktails in a relaxed space. Often has great live music.

Absolutely lovely staff, quick service and nice chic clean venue. We had the French Toast and it was absolutely delicious as was the iced tea. Even got given some tips on how to make it myself when I was paying. Will definitely come back and recommend it to other locals!

Excellent food, decent prices on main courses (except the crab, which we didn't have so may have been gigantic for that price) and booze. Did think the starters were a little expensive for what you got.

Lovely staff, really friendly and lovely food and drinks. Try the tacos on a Thursday they are like none I've ever had, amazing! Will definitely be back next year!

My Wife had the mussels which were OK. I had what they called "Silver Mullet" It was more like an old fillet of Red Mullet. Said to be caught the day before, I would think it was caught last Christmas. It was awful.

Great location on the esplanade serving incredibly fresh fish according to what is landed in the harbour that day.

Superb atmosphere and service on a Saturday evening. We visited for a celebration and had complimentary drinks on arrival. Our waiter was very informative and helpful. Olives a great aperitif. Unfortunately one of the dishes wasn’t quite cooked but the problem was soon remedied. Fish...

I was passing this attractive restaurant and decided to go in to see if I could potentially eat in there because I have allergies and intolerances. I discovered that they're very considerate of allergies here and I was given an allergen leaflet. It's recommended that...

Love this place. Bonus it's dog friendly

Thanks for a dog ice cream Great !!!!

Another superb evening at our favourite fish restaurant. Thank you Katie and team for such warm hospitality and incredible food. We shared crevettes to start and followed with mackerel, trout, new potatoes, chips and tomato salad. The fish was just superb, super fresh and expertly...

Great restaurant overlooking the sea front. Amazing grilled sandwiches with a cheesy crust along with homemade slaw. Yum yum. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

Stopped for a coffee with my children whilst we waited for the fair rides to open. Lovely coffee and pleasant staff. My daughter was treated to a mocktail, which even at 11am was made and presented with attention to detail.

We had a lovely dinner. Great atmosphere, relaxed friendly service and lovely food. We will be back. Thank you

Come here regularly when i’m not away working. No fault for rockfish , my favourite place in Weymouth the oysters are spot on! If you are looking for good quality fish this is the place to go !

Awful, terrible service ruined what could’ve been a nice meal out whilst on holiday. A young girl with orangey yellow brown hair I believe her name was saffron was extremely rude and sarcastic towards me and my family, making snide comments which made us feel...

Enjoying a Prime location on Weymouth Seafront, this upmarket fish restaurant combines great, fresh seafood with a casual atmosphere. Our haddock and chips were great being freshly cooked and tasty. It was busy on Friday evening but we never felt overcrowded. We really appreciated our...

Booked in advance and requested a table by the window, glad we did as it was full with a relaxing atmosphere. Great choice of fresh local fish, cooked to perfection. Wine is particularly good here, we went for the Pinot, great value. Weymouth has a...
