UPDATED 03.11.2021


If you do book a table of x2 6’s they will be treated completely separately… and may not be allocated next to each other… depending on the other bookings and government guidelines for social distancing.

 
All new reservations confirmed will be monitored in relation to the on-going situation and will be given flexibility around the cancellation policy.
We look forward to welcoming you at Hooked on the Rocks site! 
Once you have made your booking in your selected area you are unable to move once you arrive as your booking will have been made based on allocation/ priority given to advance bookings and also in line with the government guidelines for safe dining for our customers and staff alike.
Please note that the availability outside area as follow:
X6 tables in our heated awning area
X6 tables in our sea view terrace area, which are open to the elements. No cover or heating I am afraid so please dress appropriately as I will get chilly out there as the day progresses.
X4 tables in our beach view terrace area, which are again open to the elements. No cover or heating I am afraid so please dress appropriately as it does get chilly as the day progresses.

We will have our Seahorse bar & bubbles area available also from drinks, bubbles and food but this area is not bookable and operates through our online ordering system.
