Seahorse and Rockfish Restaurants across the West Country
Mitch Tonks
Mitch’s Rockfish restaurants celebrate seafood with a menu of freshly
fried or grilled local fish and a cornucopia of seafood pleasures from
cracked crab to grilled lobster depending on the season, unlimited
fresh cut chips, salads, slaws, garlic bread, sundaes, whipped ice
creams and great wines, beers, ciders, gin, coffees, teas & juices.
Enjoy views across the water, watch the boat activity and fishermen
landing the daily catch, some of which will be on their menu that day.
Behind the theatre and chic styling is an ethos grounded in
sustainability and understanding the importance of safe-guarding fish
for future generations & promoting a positive awareness of
community & resources; they have ‘Ocean Protector’ Kids packs
uniquely designed by them as well as taps for water outside their
buildings for anyone to use helping reduce plastic waste.
Not only is their fish is from sustainable sources, like
the local hake, but Mitch is also UK ambassador for
the MSC.
Mitch celebrates ten years since opening his
Seahorse restaurant in Dartmouth this year too
with a whole host of guest chefs hosting including
Rick Stein, Angela Hartnett and more.

Head Chef, The Seafood Ristorante, St Andrews, Scotland
Davey Aspin
The glass cubed Seafood Ristorante overlooks the iconic Old
Course, the home of Golf in St Andrews, and out across the North
Sea. The changing tide and the natural beauty of the surrounding
area gives an ever - changing view, and offer diners the perfect
environment to enjoy their meal.
The restaurant uses locally sourced and sustainable produce and
takes 2 deliveries of fresh seafood every day to ensure the freshest
produce. Combined with an Italian twist, synonymous with the
Pieraccini family restaurants, The Seafood Ristorante changes
their menu on a regular basis so to ensure a unique experience
at every visit.
Davey Aspin is a master at work having worked under culinary
giants Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay. He also spent
time in France and was later awarded a Michelin star as head chef
of Paul Heathcote’s Longridge Restaurant. Chef Aspin has a very
close relationship with the Pieraccini family, having in the past
headed up their kitchen at the award winning 3 AA Rosette
restaurant ‘Rocca’, at The Rusacks Hotel in St Andrews.
Loved by those who live in the area and the large number of
visitors every year, The Seafood Ristorante has established itself
as a must visit destination for food lovers everywhere.
