We go to the rock rose a lot and the staff are amazing and always friendly. If it’s free they know which table we like and always seat us there. The food is lovely and always well cooked. We have even booked for for Christmas Day. Keep up the good work.

Easy location to get to, plenty of parking, comfortable surroundings & a warm welcome from all the friendly staff at a special event arranged and hosted by the Rock Rose managers to honour the community’s Service Veterans during Remembrance weekend. A stylish day to remember with something for everyone, sharing memories, enjoying the entertainment and raising funds for good causes, yet business as usual too, amazing! This place has become a real flagship asset to Dover. Hats off to all the crew onboard. Well done!

came in for Sunday roast, it was quite busy, we were waiting to be seated for a while and weren’t acknowledged by the staff. the girl on the bar finished serving other customers then she seated us, we were then waiting at the bar for a further few minutes again blanked by staff who were stood at the end of the bar. the same girl then came and took our order, she looked quite flustered but was friendly and attentive. once we were done with our food, we ordered desserts which came out before our plates were taken away. the same girl who seated and served us brought the desserts over, she was very apologetic that the table hadn’t been cleared. the food itself was lovely but overall I’d say the staff didn’t seem interested at all in serving us, however, the girl who did serve us was lovely even though she looked stressed throughout the whole meal!

Absolute disgrace. I had a voucher by email that I had saved to use and was told that it wasn’t valid as a later email had been sent saying they had made a mistake! A woman staff member in black came out and showed me that she had the email saying it was a mistake, irrelevant! It should have been honoured! When I questioned this she said ‘I tell you what, go to the Duke of York instead! and walked off! Absolutely disgusting, so rude! We come here every 2 weeks but never again!

Is Ryan Britain's top barman!?🤔🤔🤔🤔 Only Judging by tonights service of me and my friends I would have to say Ryan is the king 👑 of barmen. Stopped in with a friend from Canada who was curious about UK ales, Ryan presented tasters for what was on offer and filled our glasses, like Lionel Ritchie "all night long". Between Ryan, the maitre du Maison, the chef and bar staff and table servers made for a very well oiled and smooth running machine. I was surprised at how many people were in on a Tuesday night, but there was a smile on every face and ALL the food was tasty and served at perfect temperature. The drinks were spot on for taste and temperature too. I'm really, really happy with the service here and will for sure be coming back again.

Easy to book online, met at the door and seated quickly. Process to order was clear, staff were really friendly. Food arrived promptly for those who didnt have a carvery, and we were given a heads up to get the carvery so everything was on the table at the same time which was great. My only minor complaint was that the meats had been there all day and were a little dry, and some of the veg had also been sitting out for some time. It was a Wednesday, so I appreciate that it probably wasn't a particularly busy day and so the food wasn't replenished as often, but it did just take the edge of what was on the whole, a really tasty and good value meal.

We came here as a party of 2 on Sunday 22nd, greeted nicely and showed to our table, after the table had been cleaned we requested to move as we had been put on a large circled table which was laid up for 3. This was no issue for the server who moved us. We then had our drinks and loaded fries to start which were very good (definitely recommend) we then proceeded to get our carvery which was unfortunately not as good as previous weeks, beef was tough and all the veg was running low (understand this was being sorted quickly as it was clearly a busy time of day so looked past this) the chef cutting our meat was great, very chatty and friendly. But then come back to our table and it had been cleaned completely with another table sat there, we then stood there with 2 carvery’s with no table, no drinks and 2 plates of food. After the same server came over to question the matter, we were sat on another table no worries but that was it, unfortunately we still had half a pint of san Miguel and a gin and lemonade that weren’t finished. No less than 20 seconds later another waitress appeared asked how our roasts were, clearly unaware of what had happened at this point we just wanted to eat our roasts and go.

I have been going to Rock rose previously The Kittywake for the past 6/7years and have always been extremely pleased with the food presented to us but unfortunately for the last few visits the portion sizes have been drastically reduced, main meals looking nothing more than a child’s portion and prices increased, unfortunately myself and family will not be going again which is unfortunate as the staff are great.

The food was very good, we all had a carvery, problem was I had the last few pieces of the beef which I don't mind but when I got back to my table it was full of gristle, everyone else had good cuts I could have had some more beef but I'm not much of a beef eater anyway so I let it go, the rest of the meal was fab.

As soon as we walked in, someone was there to greet us which was brilliant. We were early for our booking by about 10-15 mins but this was no trouble at all. We were seated at the end of the restaurant (not realising it was the family area and we were a couple). We were told it would be a half an hour wait for food, but we wanted the carvery anyway. The person who showed us to our seats was very knowledgable and helpful when I asked about my 30% off code. We ordered at the till and that was a smooth experience too. We got our tickets for the carvery and the chef who served us was very welcoming and friendly too. The meat was delicious and melt in your mouth. Some of the vegetables had gotten a little dry because they had been out for a while and were coming to the end of the containers. We enjoyed our meal, but we would definitely ask to sit somewhere different next time because it was our one child free night and ended up sitting next to a very loud table who let their children run around screaming and even threatening to do someone in (though it was clear they meant it as a joke). As a mother, I do love that there is a child friendly zone and play area, but please ask your customers whether they mind being seated near there (especially as we were dining as a couple). We left without dessert (even though I really wanted to try one of the cakes!) because of the noise and the children running around. Otherwise though, a lovely experience.

Dined here with friends on a Saturday evening. Very helpful and attentive service in a lovely location in Sandwich. Food fairly good. This is no fine dining but decent food, nicely prepared and relatively tasty. I had a pork chop with Wardolf salad which was fine but my bugbear is the chips were not homemade but were likely bought in as frozen. Wife’s cuise de confit de canard was tasty with fresh vegetables. Pleasant evening and enjoyable enough so worth a score of four.
