About Us

Shorehouse Restaurant

The Shorehouse Seafood Restaurant was established in 1977 by Essie Pearce, and has remained a family run business ever since. It is now managed by Jackie and Julian, Essies son, and their daughters Rebecca and Lucy, and their son Adam. We specialise in serving the shellfish we catch on our own boat, simply done, with freshness always the priority. Most of the shellfish is caught even within sight of your table at the restaurant. We are very proud of what we have established, and are keen to share our passion for fresh produce with you.

Shorehouse Restaurant

Straight from the sea...

As close as you can get to eating by the sea. You can smell the salt air, hear the oystercatchers, and spot seals all while enjoying a freshly prepared hand dressed crab salad with a chilled glass of white wine. Rebecca is enthuasiastic about the local area and wildlife, so can hopefully answer any questions you might have!

We were featured in Rick Steins Seafood Lovers Guide television program in 1999 and he later remembered us in his memoirs 'Under a Mackerel Sky'... "The highlights were often the simplest....we sat outside at our almost secret find. These unbelievable delicious prawns were almost unknown."

Beautiful location and amazing seafood

Shorehouse Seafood

Due to our produce being so fresh and dependent on season and weather, our menu can change. We offer Daily Specials according to what is being landed by the boat: examples include Hand Dived Scallops cooked in garlic, Sea Trout in almond and Whole Lobsters available by pre-order.
