Rockfish transforms its Budleigh Beach cafe

A seafood cafe on Budleigh Beach in Devon is set to enter a new chapter, as the seafront site is transformed into a full boat-to-plate restaurant by owners Rockfish.

The site will continue to serve takeaway breakfast, while from lunchtime onwards, a menu will showcase a seasonal selection of fish, landed and prepared fresh each day.

As like other Rockfish restaurants, the menus at Rockfish Budleigh Beach will change daily, shaped by that morning’s catch and delivered straight from the quayside at Brixham Market.

Rockfish Budleigh Beach has been redesigned to reflect the full dining-in experience at Rockfish restaurants, featuring interiors led by Lisa Helmanis, the same designer as recent new openings in Sidmouth and Salcombe. 

"This is a space we’ve come to really cherish over time, and gradually shape it into a beachside spot loved by locals, so this next step feels like a natural evolution," says Mitch Tonks, founder and CEO of Rockfish. 

"It will still be a community spot where people can come down, have a morning swim, coffee and bacon roll. But we’re excited at the opportunity to now bring it in line with what Rockfish does best - a dedicated seafood restaurant by the sea, serving the freshest catch of the day.

"Budleigh has a strong sense of community, and this has been front of mind throughout. It was important to us that it still feels like a welcoming and relaxed place people know and return to, to enjoy great seafood, time and again."
