    We’ve eaten at Rocksalt, Folkestone, now five times and each time we have not been disappointed with either the service, food or staff. Today’s lunchtime service was the busiest we’ve ever seen it, due to it being half term, which we’d forgotten about when we booked last night! Nonetheless, it was a delicious meal from start to finish, and the wine was lovely too. We will be back.

    Initially greeted brilliantly by front of house, warm and welcoming, particularly to our toddler son. Then the service issues started, took 20mins to get a drinks order then a further 20 minutes for them to arrive and take our food order. Wait between courses was over an hour, we were in the restaurant for over 3 hours. When the mains arrived, 1 of the 3 meals was cold and had to be sent back. Two further drinks orders were missed and we had to chase them. When I asked for the discretionary service charge to be removed I wasn’t even asked why, or what the issue was. An heir of pretension unfortunately. The food is fantastic, and the location being right on the harbour is beautiful, it’s such a shame the service was so lacking and not reflective of the fine dining experience it should be.

    We come here two or three times per year and the superb food, warm reception, friendly but professional service and harbour views combine to make it the perfect venue.
