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!

    Rocky Bottoms was recommended by a friend and it didn't disappoint. The food was very good, my first time eating lobster and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and professional, I'll definitely be back in the summer.

    This restaurant was recommended so we travelled the 40 minutes to get to it. The staff on arrival were really smiley and welcoming. The service was prompt and again all the staff were smiley. They were able to give good recommendations as to the different sauces with the lobster. The food was delicious including the salad that came with it. We sat in the conservatory which was comfortable and warm. Price wise we were surprised that it wasn’t as expensive as I would have imagined especially as we both had lobster. Altogether a great experience. We will be back

    All 4 of us had lobster, in different ways, and it was all delicious. Plus apparently the bread and butter pudding was excellent.
