Rocky Bottoms started out as an 1800s brick kiln with a purpose to fire bricks. Eventually the brick kiln was unable to compete with larger competitors and closed down after WW2. Since this time the brick kiln has offered itself as agricultural storage until it collapsed and stood derelict.

In 2008 the brick kiln’s potential and need of restoration was spotted by local fishing family; The Matthews. After years of love and attention, Rocky Bottoms, as we know it today was born. Our doors opened in May 2015, just in time for the start of the crab season. We deliver local shellfish from pot to plate in a laid back environment. Rocky Bottoms believes in enjoying the simpler things in life!

    5* experience, Christmas Eve at Rocky Bottoms. Amazing food, fantastic friendly service. Doesn’t get any fresher when you can chat to the owner who has been out to sea to bring the catch to your plate that morning!

    We had a great time. Had the prawn parpadelle which was incredible. We were a party of 8 and the table was great along with service. Highly recommend.
