Great Food and Drink in Torquay
Food and Drink
Self-Catering doesn't always mean that you want to go on holiday to cook meals; sometimes we want to go out and treat ourselves! Torquay is home to some fantastic local food and drink. Just because we're right next to the sea, doesn't mean it's all ice cream and picnics - there are fabulous places to eat, drink and relax too!
Rockfish
When you're sitting by the sea, there's only one food that offers the true taste of the bay - fish and chips! Rockfish offers locally-sourced, daily caught fish and chips, as well as a variety of other seafood dishes, all on Torquay's harbourside. A sit-in seafood restaurant that's sure to please. As they say - tomorrow's fish are still in the sea!
Saltwater
If you'd prefer to takeaway, then Saltwater Fish and Chips are the way to go. One of Torquay's newest Fish and Chip shops, their friendly team prepare delicious fresh cod, hake, sole and other fish, as well as hot and fluffy chips to eat in or take away.
