    Popped into Rocksalt for a girls lunch. We arrived at 1.45 for a 2.15 reservation. We were sorted promptly and ordered in a timely fashion. Our lime and sodas were lime and lemonade, we forgave that. We all ordered from the set menu which was good value. The food was very nice, but the service was extremely slow. But I still love Rocksalt

    Went to the wine bar on the first floor which was very nice, staff were very friendly and helpful and the drink prices were reasonable. In the restaurant, the service from the staff was great. Food was of a very good standard. The reason I dropped a star is we had a sharing plate for main course which was the beer battered Folkestone cod loin for two @ £50.00. The food was lovely however, although the batter was wonderful there was too much of it and not enough cod for two people. At £50 also seemed a little overpriced.

    First time we went, it was to celebrate a anniversary. About 3 weeks ago. I won't go into detail, but it was bad. The scallop starter arrived and i've add larger peas on my plate. Then we waited and we waited and we waited for our mains 😟 over an hour and when asked, they said, oh, it's just coming, but it was too late, had to go. But then they invited us back so they could make up for us so we did. On a beautiful Thursday's lunch time we turned up for 1.30 booking. We got our drinks and sat down and ordered our lunch. This time we didn't even get our starters. Over 1 hour just to be told was so sorry, but the order hadn't been in.! I can't say anymore. Well I came go somewhere else. 🤔🙄😤😡 We won't forget this anniversary. 🙄
