Great atmosphere, enjoyable food, lovely welcoming staff, and the most dog-friendly place I have ever visited! Great gin menu - we had tapas starter - fresh and tasty - hubby had the burger which he said was 'perfect' and my roast cod loin was delicious. Our two pooches enjoyed their complimentary chicken dinners and even got doggie-bags to take home.
Called in last night hoping to have ribs but sadly they weren't on the menu. Chose the rock burger and sea bass instead and neither disappointed. Nice surroundings, fab food and helpful, friendly staff who looked after us very well. Can't believe its so dog friendly they can have their own dinners on a Sunday! Highly recommend and will be back to try the ribs soon :)
Place looks lovely and food is lovely, music is good and at the right volume but all this matters for nothing if you don’t staff it properly.
And you have, and having had our own customer based business we appreciate that these are the biggest asset of all.
Have a fantastic New Year
Did an amazing job hosting my daughters 18th party ,, they went above and beyond what I expected ,,, I can't thank them enough for everything they did ,, from the balloons to the nibbles to the friendly and fun bar staff ,,, this place is legit ,, visit it ,, book it for private functions ,, pop in for food as that's top notch too ,, start and finish your night out in Whitstable in this cosy ski resort lodge themed bar ,, 6/5 stars
Fantastic place .Very friendly and approachable staff , id recommend booking party's here they go above and beyond to making it a good night for all.
Here now having brunch, had lunch here yesterday, even the dog got her own breakfast, lovely accommodating people, great food, good GF options xx
First time visit and we were well impressed! The decor is great as was the atmosphere all night! Staff were very friendly and helpful and overall it had a really cool vibe! We were visiting as we are friends with the band playing on the night (Who are you) and they did not fail to entertain! We got there nice and early so ate and we were impressed with both the food and service, the menu is slightly limited but it's good value and again very tasty! Drinks prices reasonable and although the bar is a bit small especially when busy like last night they had the staff to handle it so getting served was not bad at all! We will definitely be visiting again!
Staff are very helpful & friendly and the food was amazing, portion sizes are generous and the atmosphere was relaxed, will definatly be returning �
It's the place too go lovely friendly staff and wicked atmosphere and if you like live bands and djs then pop in and give it a try and the food is nice and the beers and wines and cocktails are amazing
Just had a fantastic brunch at The Rock Lodge definitely recommend it. Will be back to taste the large selection of Gins great atmosphere
Stopped off here by chance last Sunday for a bite to eat. The food was fantastic (we had the Sunday roast) and at a really great price. It’s a shame we weren’t able to sit upstairs as it looked lovely but we will be back another time.
Amazing food and lovely atmosphere. I will definitely be back. It’s great that you even do a dog menu completely free.
Great pub, good music, friendly staff ....haven't tried the food yet but reviews are excellent.
Great place great theme . Amazing food very good roast dinner . The pudding shots were fantastic. Loved the fact my dog even was given his own roast dinner ���
We came across this place where we had a great Bloody Mary! The decor was nicely done, a good view out the front window for people watching. Super friendly staff and the menu looked good (unfortunately we had already eaten). We enjoyed all the music they played as well! There's also an outdoor terrace overlooking the high street if you're eating.
I had a blind date here. The girl didn’t turn up, but the staff made me feel very welcome. The food and drinks were top tier. The comfort i recieved due to the embarrassment of being stood up faded almost immediately as i was made to feel as if i had entered solely to dine alone. I was recommended the food as i wasn’t sure what i fancied; the Pancetta Mac and Cheese starter was DELICIOUS! Compliments to the chef, and the team!
Really nice restaurant, a lot bigger inside than it looks from the street. Made space to accommodate 3 babies and 3 prams. Staff were so friendly and the food was amazing. Defo recommend!
I went to the Rock Lodge to watch the Women’s World Cup final. The bartenders/staff clearly had to start earlier than usual for a Sunday and it was busier than I have seen before, but they were not fazed at all. They were friendly and helpful. Excellent service! Will definitely be back and recommend to others.
I booked a table upstairs for Sunday lunch over the bank holiday weekend for 5 ladies celebrating a birthday. The food was fantastic, it came out quickly, was beautifully cooked and the presentation was great. 4 of us had the roast beef and 1 had the roasted butternut squash and we shared side dishes of cauliflower cheese. All of the food was outstanding. The staff were lovely, really friendly and attentive. We also enjoyed the music playing, the decor and general atmosphere. We are not local and were staying in the area and had booked The Rock Lodge based on a Google and Trip Advisor search. We highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely visit again when in the area.
Lovely place and people ... and food.
I know the place from before, been here to fix their coffee machine but nothing more and today I decided to come for lunch.
We have been very well treated by the staff, the atmosphere is lovely and the food ... Have no words. My partner asked for something that they even don't have in the menu and the chef was able to adapt ( they have to include it in the menu); tasty food.
5 ✨ for everything, I would give more if possible.
Recommend the place for everyone who's in the area to give a try.
Cozy lovely place to have a drink or enjoy food. Enjoying the beer and cider here…
Incredible experience being hosted at the Rock Lodge for my 30th end of August. The space, the vibe and staff are just incredible. Will definitely be revisiting for food next time :)
If you're ever in Whitstable, make sure you drop on by.
Free parking can be found at the primary school three doors up at St Alphege at the weekend for a small donation or on -road parking on Nelson road
Superb little restaurant, felt like I was on a rest stop while on a ski holiday, the decor is well thought out and makes for a great theme.
The food really was fresh and delicious, I tried the duck burger but also tried the black and blue burger both excellent.
Highly recommend.
Absolutely worth the visit fab atmosphere, food was out of this world the salt & vinager chicken wings full of flavour and juicy, ribs cooked to perfection, smoked and very saucy meat fell of the bone. Hallomi very tasty side .
