At Rockfish, our mission is to change the way people experience seafood through our waterside restaurants in Devon and Dorset, along with our online seafood market and tinned seafood range. Founded by Mitch Tonks, we invite you to enjoy stunning views at Rockfish Dartmouth, where your server will highlight the fresh market fish of the day on your tablecloth, or you can choose from our seasonal menu featuring classics including our seafood tacos.

Rockfish
In 1996, Mitch Tonks - the Rockfish founder - opened his first fishmongers, driven by a simple idea: to do seafood better in the UK. A restaurant followed, then another. That same idea still guides Rockfish today.
Mitch is now one of the country’s leading voices in seafood; an acclaimed chef, author and ambassador for sustainable fishing. But at the heart of it all is that same mission: to connect people to great seafood, caught in our waters, served with real care, and enjoyed by the sea.

“Dartmouth Food Festival has become a real highlight of our calendar. We've been fortunate enough to exhibit there for the last four years and it's genuinely our favourite event of the year. It's brilliantly curated, bringing together some of the very best food and drink producers from across the South West, alongside inspiring chef demonstrations, workshops and an atmosphere that's hard to beat. There's a real sense of community and celebration throughout the whole weekend, and we're already looking forward to returning in 2026.”Tim Ball, Co-founder, Bar Buoy

Flint & Flame
Flint and Flame is a rapidly expanding kitchenware brand, supplying tens of thousands of customers with high quality kitchen products helping those who love to cook (and those who don’t) have the ultimate cooking experience.
The brand has been developed over the last few years at large shows, such as the BBC Good Food show through to smaller county shows, where we meet and talk with our customers daily and get valuable feedback.
This feedback has been invaluable to help develop what we believe is not just the best looking knife on the market, but also (based on what our customers say) the most balanced and comfortable product they have ever used.
Our knives are world renowned and are crafted and designed with you in mind.
“The Flint and Flame team love the Dartmouth Food Festival!!! Friendly and fun, we look forward to it every year”
