A stunning Cornish restaurant has been snapped up by a couple who say they 'fell in love with this epic location'. Tamara Costin and William Speed are known as the owners of Flushing’s Harbour House. But now, they have purchased the highly popular Hooked on the Rocks at Swanpool in , Cornwall.
The couple plans to work closely with Hooked’s head chef, Jack Frame, and general manager Katie Hemmings to continue to build the success of the iconic seaside restaurant. Hooked on the Rocks is built into the cliffside that overlooks the picturesque Swanpool Beach and nature reserve, on the outskirts of Falmouth. The menu centres around local, sustainably sourced seafood and features crab and lobster caught just eight miles down the coast, Falmouth Bay scallops, and daily fish specials from Newlyn market.
William and Tamara already had a key connection to the Hooked on the Rocks building given that William’s grandmother - Wendy Shepherd - worked there in the 1960s when it was called Swanpool Beach Café and was owned by the local council. William’s aunt - Jenny Shepherd - also worked there in the ‘90s when it was called Café Mozambique. Now, the couple are excited to continue the legacy of this special place with their own unique vision.
Tamara Costin says: "We fell in love with this epic location and we’re so pleased to join Jack, Katie and the team in pushing Hooked onto the next chapter. For the moment everything is business as usual and we’re looking forward to mee.
