Four Boys

Estuary restaurant for seafood and fresh pasta

Ferry Point, Rock, Cornwall, PL27 6LD

Chef(s) Matt Wadsworth

This is a great spot for a group to gather over sharing plates

Overlooking the Camel Estuary in Rock, Four Boys is a family-run restaurant named after a quartet of brothers. Seasonal ingredients shape the evolving menu, where fresh handmade pasta and simply cooked seafood take centre stage in a selection of dishes designed for sharing.

The cooking is classic rather than complicated, allowing quality produce to speak for itself. Freshly baked focaccia with taramasalata makes a fitting start, alongside the restaurant’s classic fish soup. Pasta dishes might see tagliolini topped with crab, chilli and garlic, while whole grilled fish such as lemon sole is kept pleasingly simple. Tiramisu with a glass of brandy provides a suitably Italian-style finale.

The energetic team and beautiful waterside setting make Four Boys an easy choice for a long lunch or relaxed evening.
