“I’m so excited about heading up the kitchen team at The Idle Rocks. We’ve got an abundance of amazing local, sustainable produce on our doorstep, from both land & sea. Quality begins with ingredients, and I can’t wait to work with our local suppliers to bring our guests the most delicious dishes, created from the freshest, seasonal produce”
Carla’s menu has a strong focus on fish and seafood, working with our dedicated fisherman Gareth Austin who delivers the freshest seafood from local waters to the restaurant daily.
