I have enjoyed several visits to Rocksalt for food and drinks. My most recent visit was with friends for drinks in the bar. There is a wide range of cocktails available. We tried the bar managers special creation....The Lighthouse, the making process was very impressive and it was pretty tasty too. The bar has gorgeous outlooks over the harbour and... More

Came here for a family birthday. We were seated at a table in the middle of the restaurant which gave us nice views of the harbour. However, after about 10 mins the waitress came over and kindly allowed us to move to a window table as the other party had just cancelled. The food was excellent, as was the service,... More

I ate here over the weekend for my dad’s birthday, and certainly was not disappointed. The restaurant itself is lovely inside with great views of the harbour (even better when the sun eventually came out!) The food is simply done but with great ingredients and very little pretension. My starter of the deep-fried sprats was very nice, but my highlight... More

For those of you who are concerned with restaurants substituting expensive produce for cheap alternatives, have a look at the photographs and tell me what fish you see on the plate. In my opinion, as an experienced fly fisherman,the WILD ROTHER SEA TROUT, as stated on the special, was substituted with a piece of FARMED RAINBOW TROUT ! so I... More

I dont normally write reviews. Visited Rocksalt today with 3 friends having just returned from France. Fron the minute we walked through the door we were made very welcome. The food we all had was delicious, reasonably priced for one course with 2 bottles of wine at £150. Our waitress was Hannah and I can only give her 10 out... More

My wife took me 150 miles to this restaurant and given she aspires to Michelin venues, I was expecting and not really looking forward to high priced, minimal plates of food, with swirls of jus and culinary gimmick. I need not have worried..... this was well prepared and cooked, substantive plates of great cuisine, and at a great value for... More

After having an enjoyable evening of cocktails and nibbles here last summer, I decided to visit rocksalt with my partner for dinner. We try to visit a selection of restaurants every month and appreciate fresh food, attantive service and fine dining. Although nothing on the menu immediately caught my attention, I had the smoked salmon starter, followed by the lemon... More

We went for lunch, good value at around £20 isn, plus wine. From the moment we stepped inside the door everything was perfect. Lovely view of the harbour, great atmosphere, the Folkestone 'chattering class' were in for lunch! Starters were a chilled tomato soup and great pork pate, served superbly. Mains were equally excellent, my wife had fish (whole with... More
