We only discovered this fantastic restaurant thanks to a tradesman at the holiday complex we were staying at. Located on a side street in the village of Tideford, it is not well signposted. But now that the word is spreading, make sure you visit and sample the freshest and most delicious seafood you can imagine.
Upon arrival, my wife and I were warmly welcomed and shown to our table. The friendly bar staff quickly took our drink orders. The menu, offering seafood, meats, and vegetarian options, may not be extensive, but the quality of the dishes is superb based on our experience.
Following a recommendation from another guest, I tried the seafood gumbo. This smoky, soup-like dish was packed...
I've never had gumbo before so I thought I'd try it. It was supposed to be a seafood gumbo. The lumps of stuff in the sauce were like somebody had given a cat a piece of fish and then what was left was put into the sauce with a single prawn and a straggly, sinewy piece of squid. It was revolting! Needless to say I won't ever be having it again. Also, I asked for chips INSTEAD OF bread, and was charged for the chips, which I think they could have warned me about when I made the request.
I came across a hidden gem with charming, accommodating staff and friendly locals. The food was fantastic - my partner enjoyed the crab avocado salad while I indulged in the king prawns in white wine. Both dishes were incredibly delicious and fresh. It's a must-visit restaurant. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful sea food, I had the gumbo and the flavour was insanely good! Also I don’t eat prawns but my partner said they were incredible and I used my bread to mop up ALL the sauce from his plate. The pub is really cool too and friendly staff.

Superb. Dropped in on the way home on the spur of the moment. Very courteous staff, burgers were one of the best pub burgers I've ever had. My wife loved the seafood gumbo, although the spiciness surprised her, hehe. Loved it, will come again!
Stopped a few miles away to find somewhere for lunch and a local recommended the Rod Line for good fresh seafood. Wow, amazing seafood gumbo. Good local ales too. Lots of choice for fresh seafood. Really recommend this place. Really recommend
Extremely helpful bar staff, very accommodating. Food was very nice. We both had fish and chips and the fish was the best we have had for a long time. We will definitely return.
Thank goodness for our unplanned stop at The Rod and Line what a find, what a gem. A proper pub, a warm and friendly welcome, delicious food and great service. We’ll be back.

The staff couldn't have made us feel more welcome, food was fast and excellent. Nice atmosphere and plenty to talk about at the table.
This is the best restaurant we have been to this summer. There is no better place to go for seafood and great food.
