The Reef Knot Restaurant at The Idle Rocks serves the best of Cornish sea-to-table cuisine.
Led by Executive Chef, Guy Owen, he brings a passion for Cornwall’s seafood and seasonal produce, focusing on sustainability and the honest, bold flavours of the coast. His menus celebrate the region’s finest produce and trusted local suppliers – most notably the daily fresh catch from in-house fisherman Gareth Austin, landed just metres from the restaurant kitchen.
Enjoy the sea views from the restaurant, or weather permitting dine on the south-facing waterside terrace.
