Rocksalt Sitting on the harbour-front overlooking the fishermen’s day-boats, Rocksalt’s glass walled dining room and terrace hang right over the water, giving diners unrivalled views out across the Kent coast, and even the chance to see the day’s catch being delivered direct to the kitchen. The menu pays homage to the abundance of quality local produce from Kent and the surrounding area, with local farms supplying meat, vegetables and cheese. Enjoy the simple but expertly prepared dishes on chef patron Mark Sargeant’s and head chef Simon Oakley’s menus that allow ingredients to shine through; with dishes including Lemon Sole with Potted Shrimp Butter, Folkestone Hot Shells cooked in the kitchens Josper Grill and Cold Chocolate and Sea Buckthorn Fondant. The main dining room includes a curved terrace for al fresco dining with the sweeping vista offering the perfect setting to complement the food. Upstairs is the bar and heated outdoor terrace where local beers, delicious cocktails and food from our bar menu can be enjoyed. GB Pizza Co Cited as the “best pizza I’ve ever had,” by The Sunday Telegraph’s food critic Zoe Williams, and recommended by The Guardian, Observer Food Monthly, The Sunday Times, The Good Food Guide, Square Meal and Harden’s, GB Pizza Co has been wowing critics, visitors and locals alike since 2012. With a secret dough recipe, slow-cooked tomato sauce and topped with highest quality ingredients from the very best of British producers, the pizzas sing with flavour. Toppings range from the classic (ham & mushroom or the famous Margate-rita) to the more unusual and creative (pear and buffalo blue cheese or even a homemade nutella and banana). There are also weekly specials, using local and seasonal ingredients. Help yourself to wine from the bespoke wooden barrels or a glass of Prosecco from the tap. Choose from a well-considered selection of local lagers, ales and cider. Coffee is from Climpson & Sons and tea hails from Tregothnan, Britain’s only tea plantation. Located on Margate’s historic seafront, with stunning views out to sea and spectacular sunsets, GB Pizza Co’s setting is perfect for a quick lunch with friends, a special evening with family or a warming hot chocolate after a windy walk on the beach with your dog – four-legged friends and children are warmly welcomed. Rocksalt also has four boutique bolt hole rooms above the sister restaurant The Smokehouse, perfect for a nights stay after enjoying the restaurant. 4-5 Fishmarket Folkestone, CT19 6AA 01303 212070 /rocksaltfolkestone @Rocksalt_Kent info@rocksaltfolkestone.co.uk www.rocksaltfolkestone.co.uk 14 Marine Drive Margate, CT9 1DH 01843 297700 /greatbritishpizza @gbpizzaco www.greatbritishpizza.com 29
