The Idle Rocks Restaurant

Take a front row seat on our blissful waters edge dining spot in the much-loved Cornish seaside village of St Mawes.

Head Chef Matt Haggath and his team have designed a menu around stories brought to fruition through carefully developed relationships with local suppliers, fishermen and farmers.
