The Rocket Store
Nestled in a historic building originally used to store life-saving rocket equipment, The Rocket Store is an intimate and highly acclaimed restaurant located right by the harbour in Boscastle.
Since opening, it has quickly become a “must-visit” for food enthusiasts, focusing on a farm-to-table and sea-to-plate philosophy. The atmosphere is small, buzzy, and unpretentious, reflecting the rugged beauty of the surrounding North Cornwall coast.
Dining & Cuisine
The culinary focus at The Rocket Store is on hyper-fresh, seasonal ingredients. With a menu that changes daily based on what is available from the local boats and their own farm, diners can expect an authentic taste of Cornwall.
- The Menu: Specialises in small and large sharing plates featuring fresh Cornish seafood, shellfish, and organic meat from their nearby farm.
- Sourcing: They take pride in their “soil to plate” ethos, ensuring every ingredient is sustainably and locally sourced.
- The Bar: Offers a curated selection of natural wines, local beers, and spirits that pair perfectly with the bold flavours of the kitchen.
- Seating: The restaurant is small and intimate, with some outdoor seating available during the warmer months to soak in the harbour atmosphere.
Our Top Picks
Because the menu changes so frequently, we recommend going with an open mind and ordering several small plates to share; it’s the best way to experience the chef’s creativity. Booking is absolutely essential here, especially during the summer months, as the limited tables fill up weeks in advance. If the weather is fine, try to snag an outdoor table to watch the tide come in while you eat.

Accessibility
The Rocket Store is located on the ground floor with level access from the harbour side, which is beneficial for those with limited mobility. However, please be aware that the interior is quite compact with limited space between tables. The toilet facilities are also small due to the historic nature of the building. We recommend contacting the restaurant in advance if you have specific accessibility needs so they can best accommodate your party.
