Just sensational restaurant on Folkestone's bustling harbour arm. An absolute MUST VISIT both for the food and the view over the sea, but worth booking in advance as it's very popular. Wonderful at all times of the day! About 20 mins drive. https://www.rocksaltfolkestone.co.uk/.
There is also the Rocksalt bar overlooking the beach and harbour this is the only place to be when the sun is shining! The cocktails are out of this world. Some outdoor tables with a fab view in both the restaurant and bar, but defo book!

Expect sensational food at the Pig at Bridge Place. Whether you're eating in the main restaurant, on the terrace or down in the Kitchen Garden you won't be disappointed. It's imperative to book well in advance for the main restaurant but you can just turn up on the day to eat from the pizza oven in the Kitchen Garden, there's only a few tables there though and you can't book so there can be a wait. Not that that's too much of a problem with the beautiful grounds to enjoy. Or pop inside and enjoy a delicious cocktail from the incredible bar. Another MUST VISIT. About 30 mins drive away.
An intriguing old building with a rock-n-roll vibe, which over the past four decades has been home to some renowned parties and gigs playing host in the ‘70s to Led Zeppelin and the like.
It houses lots of period features, including large fireplaces, secret stairways, panelled rooms and endless nooks and crannies. https://www.thepighotel.com/at-bridge-place/
