The Rocket Store in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

It’s not often in the Devon & Cornwall that you find such an exceptional culinary experience. We loved the intimacy and the vibe, communication with Chef & staff. Fabulous food, simply a great experience.

We were very lucky to have an outdoor table at this place for an impromptu lunch at Boscastle harbour. Service was relaxed, laidback but attentive. Everything on the menu looked delicious and we wished we could’ve tried it all! Alas, the prices are quite steep but it’s worth it. If you get the chance, this place is well worth visiting, especially given that Boscastle doesn’t have that many places to eat really good food.

Unfortunately vastly overpriced. The lobster was small and ridiculously expensive as well as each tapas being minuscule. Loud music which seemed to be more for the staff than the customers. Sorry but other reviews overstate the reality. Never again.

Ate here 3 nights of 7 and the food is delicious its seafood tapas style, you can get lamb if you want but the fish is too good, monkfish was amazing, seabass sashimi delicious, as were the hand dived scallops cooked in chicken fat, we literally had the whole menu over the 3 visit’s, hard to choose a favourite. Not cheap but wonderful

Great food, friendly staff. Innovative menu, a little pricier than other local competitors but food has wow factor for sure. Delish, highly recommend.

Absolutely superb. Fantastic freshly prepared tapas style seafood which is great for sharing. Genuinely one of the best meals in Cornwall we’ve ever had.

After seeing 'The Rockt Store' on TV we just had to visit while we were on holiday in Cornwall and boy were we pleased we did. We had the Chef's Choice - a selection of small plates across the whole menu. How the team (Ryan & James) achieve what they do in such a small kitchen is mindblowing, the food is outstanding, the service brilliant and this shed should be awarded a Michelin Star. Ryan's diary alternatives were wonderful and nothing was too much trouble.

If you want to tick off a celebrity chef try Padstow but if you want to experience a rising star of the culinary world visit The Rocket Store. Fresh local produce cooked well, expect to pay a little more but great value. We visited twice in a seven day holiday and were not disappointed on either occasion. Oysters were excellent !

What the… Was our thoughts as we sat down to have the menu explained to us. Looking at it outside we thought “oooh, sounds like nice seafood” and at upwards of £27 per plate we thought we might get decent portion! However… once we’d been given our drinks, we were told that these were in fact “small plates” - looking at the surrounding diners, small is not the word. Microscopic! Minuscule! Invisible to the naked eye is more the vibe. They have the nerve to charge £8… PER scallop. That’s right folks, ONE single, lonely scallop. With no sides. Just a scallop. You’re not alone if you’re thinking “wtf”. Now it might just be our midlands/Yorkshire sensibilities but we weren’t about to be paying through the nose for that. We’re both reasonably high earning professionals so it’s not that the money was an issue per se, but if I’m paying that much I’d expect a portion size larger than that intended for a hamster post-gastric surgery. When we said we were just going to have drinks instead, the waitress’ mask slipped and she crossly said “oh I wish I’d known, we are only licensed to serve drinks with food”. We’d only had an elderflower pop and a coke - no alcohol in sight! Anyway, that’s how we ended up being talked into having a £4 plate of bread. Which, while it was nice enough, worked at £1 per tiny slice. It was tasty though, and to give her her due, our waitress was very nice to us while we were there. We could just tell that they were very eager for us to leave Honestly, if you do want to eat here, you probably have more money than you do sense. However, we noticed that they didn’t charge us for the bread. Whether that was a nice gesture or an oversight we don’t know, but we weren’t about to question it!

We visited The Rocket Store for lunch. Fantastic food, exciting menu, great atmosphere and friendly service. Would recommend and we hope to visit again!

We went here on an evening in Aug. The place was pretty busy but it’s small and they had plenty of staff. The food was excellent. A lot of people on here are saying it’s expensive (ie London prices), but that’s what you get for high quality, perfectly cooked fish dishes. The food is delivered tapas style. Very relaxed and plenty of time to talk etc. The only problem (hence the ****) we had on the night was the service. Lovely staff, but seemed a bit more interested in talking and joking amongst themselves than looking after customers. It’s the annoying thing where you feel like the waiting staff are actually trying to avoid your eye. I had to call across the room and flap my arms around to get a glass of wine in the end. All is all very good though!

We knew this was going to be a real treat after seeing Rick Stein here on one of his programmes. My son's birthday is tomorrow so we headed here today to treat him as his favourite foods are fish and seafood. The waiter told us from the start it is smaller dish tapas style so we knew what to expect. We had the scallops and yes, one scallop was £8, so expensive, but you pay for the quality of sustainable hand caught scallops not trawled. The sea bass sashimi was a triumph and my son, aged 10, wolfed down his share, plus mine and could've eaten more, he loved it! The monkfish and mussels were sublime in a broth that I dipped the grilled bread in, and the grilled mackerel was perfect. The courgette dish and the grilled hispi cabbage were great accompaniments. We loved the rustic feel with the wooden benches, shared tables, and great atmosphere where we could hear the chefs singing along to the great soundtrack in the back, clearly enjoying their job. This is Michelin food that's comes at a higher price than you would normally look for on a coastal holiday visit, but yet at the same time was worth the cost by miles if you like fish and seafood. We are a pretty regular family and would never usually eat anywhere more upmarket like this, but we were made to feel very welcome.

Visited today with friends so my nephew could try muscles. Personally I am not a massive seafood fan but my mind has been changed after what I had today. A mixture of mackrole, monkfish, muscles, courgette fritters and potatoes. Absolutely delicious, Highly recommend.

Our fifth visit this year, this time we were a table of 6 and had an absolutely fabulous meal, the flavours were exquisite, service as always was brilliant, music was fab.. we will be back again soon. The D-T’s , May Cottage.

We discovered this fabulous restaurant on holiday last year and it was the first one we booked for our return trip this year. We had a table for 10 at 6pm . We sat outside on the patio under the cosy umbrellas and heaters. The service was friendly and immaculate. All of the waiting staff were eager to tell us about the amazing tapas fish dishes on offer. The food comes out as it is cooked so it’s always a lovely surprise as to what we are going to receive next. Exquisitely prepared dishes packed full of flavour and beautifully presented. The monkfish dish and the chickpea dish were firm favourites with our group. There is a lovely selection of wines and cocktails. You can tell these chefs know what they are doing. There is an abundance of culinary flair here. We follow them on Instagram and watch how they catch their fish and change the menus for the seasons. If you are in the Boscastle area on holiday, be sure to pay Rocket Store a visit. You won’t be disappointed ! Thank you for a lovely relaxed evening x

Another Cornish gem. We were recommended this small quirky restaurant by the owner of our Airbnb. So glad we took her advice. The young team delivered in spades ... fabulous and exciting dishes and excellent service.

Excellent meal followed chef recommendation John Dory delicious Staff excellent even know pollack now on the red lists so off the menu. Getting sustainable fish hard but these guys know how to it especially when it comes to the shellfish

We picked here for a special lunch for last day of our holiday. We were not disappointed and the food was amazing. We tried small plates of dishes we had never tried before and loved every mouthful. The staff were helpful explaining the dishes to...

Geschmacklich top! Beste Qualität der Zutaten! Raffinierte Zubereitung! Sehr zu empfehlen! „Foodie-Heaven in Boscastle“ Angemessenes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, ca 80 Eur pro Person inkl. Wein und Vorspeisen.

What stopped me rating this higher was the insane amount of money the 2 of us spent on such a small meal despite most of it tasting very nice. We ordered the grilled bread which had a burnt taste to it which was a bit...

Beautiful rustic location down by the harbour in an old boat store. Drinks were good, service great, food oustanding, credit to the chefs. James and the team looked after us well. Top class.

Exceptional cuisine. Wonderfully tasteful and creative dishes. We were so impressed. Second time there and I believe the best food in North Cornwall. Very good value. Very attentive service. Thank you.

Fab micro restaurant, lovely staff, yummy food and great atmosphere. So good we went back for a second meal!!

Arrived at the location, no signage from the road so had to rely on google maps walking mode to get there. After being seated by the door, opposite the open kitchen, we genuinely felt like we were intruding on a staff private party. We were...

The portions are ridiculously small, the table was at best rustic and despite booking some weeks before we were sat opposite the toilets. The cutlery was what I used to get at school and the service was a basic ok. I was dreadfully disappointed. The...

A great meal out. The food was amazing but yes a little on the expensive side but you couldn’t fault it and how it was presented. Watching how the kitchen works also adds to the evening. Would highly recommend for a treat meal out.
