Rocksalt On Sea in Rother

Tried there Sunday roast 😡😡😡tiny portion, salty gravy all in all couldn’t eat it ,totally disgusting won’t be returning avoid

Rudest staff that need serious retraining or attitude transplants. Ordered two drinks, coming to £9.10 and paid with a £10 note. Male bartender took note and said something sly to their colleague while taking ages to get the change. Wondered what was taking so long, only to be handed back a 50p and 40p in pennies, so many they wouldn’t fit in our hand. My mum asked if it was a joke, to which his colleague replied “it’s money isn’t it”. Made another comment that we could just pay on card, like it was an inconvenience to them accepting cash? We had 10p, so said just give us a £1 coin. The rude woman said 'let's just leave it at that' to try and shut down any conversation. Proceeded to slam the drink down and throw a spoon across the counter. Weirdly angry staff. Won't be back. After leaving a google review initially, the owner replied saying we lied and not to return. The final insult to injury, we have no reason to falsify a review.

My friend and I popped into here today (27 March 2024) for lunch - met by Phoebe who provided friendly, knowledgeable and exemplary service. The Malbec was excellent, and our chicken gyros was superb; ended up having desserts too which were delicious. Good atmosphere and an all round lovely lunch - would definitely return and recommend to others. Particular shout out to Phoebe - a credit to the bar!

Great place! I stopped off for a coffee and lunch, but was very tempted to have a pint and more! Really well done, staff were excellent.

Avoid. Rude & unhelpful bar staff. Obviously very unhappy in their jobs. Paid for wrong drinks order. Wouldn’t have minded but the two women behind the bar were just so unpleasant. So many other much more friendly places to eat and drink in Bexhill, definitely won’t be returning to Calvers.

Went for dinner and a catch up with friends. Booked well in advance but a last minute music event was put on. Great music but so loud you cannot hear each other and end up shouting all evening (I am under 40 and it was far too loud) so if you want to talk through dinner, Id go when there is no music. We werent the only table saying this too. Food was ok, quite expensive for what it was and compared to other places. Service was quite slow, had to ask twice to order. Waitress told us the wrong prices for cocktails when we ordered them, when the bill came the cocktails were more but they wouldnt honour what they had told us - just got told she got it wrong. Overall the venue is nice but would opt for elsewhere in future.

I love this oasis in the town centre! The staff are fabulous, always welcoming and helpful. The food is superb and the selection of wine, ales/lagers and spirits is excellent. The venue is warm and close to the beach and the De La Warr pavilion. Calvers is dog friendly, child friendly and just a great space to chill! BM

Great accommodation, friendly staff and lovely fresh breakfast. The rooms were clean and had all amenities. Check in proccess was easy

Great evening out in Bexhill, good selection of drinks and an excellent uncomplicated menu Some fine tunes all added up to a nice chilled night out Highly recommended

Today we had a wonderful lunch with some very good friends and our decision to visit Calvers Neighbourhood Bar again made it even more perfect. We were greeted by a very friendly member of the team who looked after us for the whole time we were there and was very attentive throughout. All 4 of us enjoyed our food which included their delicious homemade burgers, Mexican dirty fries and moreish chicken wings, all followed up with homemade puddings which were to die for! The sticky toffee sauce - I could have drunk it! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon, and once again, you didn’t disappoint us. Love coming to visit you and only wish we could have stayed for longer, especially as you have one of my favourite bands playing this evening! Alas the school run beckoned 😂 but we will be back soon! Keep up the hard work as love having you in Bexhill. We will see you soon 🙌.

Met today for the first time at this bar and we all had a great meal with fantastic service! Could not fault anything and we would all most certainly be back! Tuba was lovely and very attentive, nice friendly place with great food and great service. Location would be even better once the summer is here too!

Unexpectedly dissapointed! It was highy reccomded and the food is a complete let down. Unattentive staff. We did not enjoy the experienced at all. We won’t be back!

Terrible - took over an hour for an overpriced meal to come - it was just 2 chicken souvlakis but despite chasing 3 or 4 times it took 1 hour and 10 minutes to come from 3.10 pm on a sunday. £40 for two small souvlakis and a soft drink each. Staff offish and uninterested. We won't be back!

I visited this busy bar on a Thursday night to see a live band and liaise with family later. Although they did manage to squeeze me in for a pre "show" supper I was told I would have to vacate the table at 19.15 which gave me 22 minutes.... The menu states they have normal cider and Guinness but sadly not anymore. I had an Irish Stout which was passable. At 19.14 I duly vacated my table and watched in amusement as several other non "bookees" tried to take my place to no avail. I observed the comedy scenario of loads of frustrated people looking at empty tables which were unusable due to bookings later. Having worked in the industry for many years you may wish to consider keeping some tables free when you have live music for the people that come to see it - just a thought? P.S. The pie and mash was delicious once I had cracked open the pastry case - a little less time in the oven perhaps....?

The drinks were wonderful and cheap - the staff were amazing and friendly. The place was interesting and quirky. We didn’t eat there but the food sounded lovely and every table was booked up for food

Had previously had a bad experience here but that was last year so decided to give it another try. Popped in today for breakfast and had to wait a while to place our order. It wasnt particularly busy.. there was a table of 8, another table of a 4 and us. We finally ordered and then waited 45 minutes before I asked a member of staff if we could be given an idea of how much longer we would be waiting for our food and was met with quite a rude response of ‘you ordered last after everyone else in here’. I would fully understand that if they were rushed off there feet and the place was packed, but 3 tables doesnt warrant that kind of wait. When the food did arrive, there was an item missing off each plate. The food itself was good quality, but half of it was lovely and hot, and half cold!

Great quirky place with really friendly staff and great food. Lunch time visit on a Saturday sitting g outside in the sun. Busy, buzzing and ultra attentive staff. Food was really nice

This is a great spot for a night out....music and food! and great serve (tuba you were/are a star!). 4 of us had a meal , loads of drinks and listen to the house band rock the night away. really good night..thats to all - Well done Sam

Just had a superb Lunch of mussels sitting outside in the sun and I try to have mussels where I go but these were superb 19 out of 10 fab place

Very poor. This restaurant/bar has definitely gone downhill. Used to be our favourite place in Bexhill, not anymore. We won’t be returning. Waited ages to order, had to go and ask to give our order, should’ve known then what was in store. Mediocre food, no...

Very small calamari starter and chips were just a handful Not worth the money It seems portions have been reduced but prices have gone up

Stopped here for dinner wanting somewhere we could sit outside in the sun and with vegan options. It was lively with everyone indoors enjoying the live band. Service was quick and friendly in spite of it being busy. We had a bit of a nightmare...

This bar used to be our favourite place to go when visiting our friends in Bexhill. It has gone downhill this past year or so. We used to be greeted by the lovely ladies behind the bar and the food was great. It was tasty...

We booked a table for 4 a few weeks ago, after waiting 15min we were informed our table is being used by drinkers. We were taken downstairs to an unprepared table and given one menu to share. After another wait, our drinks order was taken,...

4 of us went Saturday evening for a quick meal and were lucky to get a table. The Hungarian goulash with hot crispy bread was delicious. 4 mains and 4 beers £82. Excellent 👍 thank you 🙏 guys and gals. X

I visited Rocksalt yesterday for a Brunch with my husband and a couple of friends. We all ordered the big breakfast brunch for £11.50 per person. I told the waiter of my intolerance, so unable to have 2 sausages, hash brown and sourdough bread. I...

Where do I start? There was 6 adults and a baby. The tables were all different heights and we were cramped in by the toilets. We ordered our meals and whe they arrived 3 out of the 6 were cold. No one came to check...

I've tried to get into this restaurant twice before, but they were fully booked. I managed to get a table for 5 for my parents (who I was down visiting), husband, daughter and a little dog. We were warmly greeted. Order taken promptly. I was...

I am a Bexhill local and have visited Rocksalt many times and have not once been impressed and left feeling anything other than annoyed. I visited last night at their 'Bingo' evening with friends and once again, was unimpressed with the service and the food....

We had been to Bexhill's Santa Dash, & had a little while left on the parking, so my partner (the barefoot Santa!) & I popped in, in the hope we could get a table. I was elated to be offered a two seater near the...

Went for a meal with friends, not been there before. Service was excellent. Had a pizza, that was ok, just a pizza. Had cheese cake for dessert. £6.50 for the smallest portion I've ever purchased. The music was really load struggled to hear ourselves speak....

Rocksalt is the go to bar and restaurant in Bexhill. It has a great atmosphere - welcoming, relaxed, friendly, fun. The staff are great. Service is excellent. And good fabulous. Last night we were served by Molly and Chloe. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

Very wet and windy night in Bexhill Salt Rock was just across the road from car park Went not expecting to much had to ask staff if they done food as no menu posted outside Staff where very polite yes they did food but not...

Sadly, a long awaited family reunion was spoiled by the inedible food we were served at Rocksalt, Bexhill-on -Sea. Whilst the manner of the staff was friendly and they explained we might have a 20 minute delay in getting our food, we waited for nearly...

We go to Rocksalt on Sea from time to time. We always feel welcome by the lovely and friendly staff. Today we went there for lunch. One if your waitresses called Molly served us. She was so lovely and friendly. So easy to communicate with...

Called in for lunch on their first day of official opening. Lovely food, service, decor - good luck on your new venture. Thanks for a lovely lunch.

We visited Rocksalt today for a family lunch - 6 of us altogether. The atmosphere is good and the place looks great, but unfortunately the food was disappointing. Two of us had the burger which was overcooked and dry and, really, just a bit basic....

Roast dinners were cold. We couldn't cut through the meat, roast potatoes or broccoli - knives blunt!

We had a party at Rocksalt for my husbands 60th and it was amazing! The staff were super attentive to us and all our guests, and the food was delicious and plentiful. Everyone had such a fantastic, fun time it made it so special -...

We went to Bexhill for a friends big birthday celebration and stayed three nights at Rocksalt , really enjoyed it Very good rooms , food and drinks were of an excellent standard All the staff were really friendly and helpful , couldnt fault the service...

Can't rate this place enough, so welcoming, family friendly and amazing atmosphere. Incredible menu, best roast dinner and if you fancy a night with the girls they have the best cocktails in town, fresh ingredients ❤️

Great food and fabulous service. My wife and I just stopped for lunch while in the area and wow what a great find. We were surrounded by great food and Happy customers.

We went as a group of 6 ppl for lunch. Starters were below average for the price, and mains were far worse. The king prawn linguine tasted like boiled pasta with canned tomato sauce. No flavours! The burger was nothing special, the meat didn’t seem...

after 5.30pm so isn't well enough known but you can't take dogs then as can't reserve outside, they also put the phone down on me twice as I tried to make the reservation

First time visit today. Fantastic lunch , innovative, imaginative and well cooked. Excellent staff and service. We will be back.

First time visit to the Rocksalt, great atmosphere, lively place to eat, great bar, looks like The Hard Rock Cafe!! Took the family there for dinner, great table at the front of the restaurant, nice breeze from side widow, wonderful selection of food. It's not...

There's a demographic feel here. It feels right - music and friendly waitress. But if they offer hand-pulled house beer, they should love it and make sure it's PERFECT. And not pull a face when asked for a replacement. Food is pricey but well presented.

We booked a table for dinner here about a week ago and only received a phone call on the day to day that we can’t bring our dog. Very disappointing that we’ve now got no notice to arrange an alternative. No wonder we holiday abroad.

We loved this dog friendly and super people friendly place. The two course lunch is not only extremely good value at £15 but also really imaginative (cauliflower saté, beetroot humus) and beautifully executed. The portions were huge! These people really care about their customers and...

Walked in on a Monday night, and lucky to get a table. I would suggest booking in advance. Excellent vibe to the restaurant the service was good, especially from the Chinese waitress. Really enjoyed the bones beer, whilst the monkfish, burgers and pork chop were...

Ok overall, but very very average. The portion sizes for some dishes are tiny, barely enough for a child portion. The chips were so salty so beware of you don't like that. Overpriced when considering what you get for your money, particularly the starters and...

Had a lovely night meal and great breakfast at the rockstar lovely staff. Only gripe is no drinks menu. Stayed at the sea spray rooms which were excellent

Relaxing atmosphere, friendly cheerful staff and owner. Good lunch menu (2 or 3 courses £15 or £20). Good selection for a Ceiiac member of our group. All our meals were excellent, not a crumb left on any of our plates!

Place has a nice atmosphere, good for drinks but food menu is limited and some items are well overpriced. Ordered the cod and crab salad, for £18 I thought it's got to be a good salad! Sadly I was left very disappointed. There was hardly...

Beautiful place, nice view, friendly staff, good seafood, music is lovely. I love to go there with my friends and have a nice evening.

This was our second lunch time visit. The first one was pretty much the same as well but I thought that I would give them a 2nd chance after seeing some of my friends on Facebook had had such great food. There were three adults...

Socks need pulling up I’m afraid, too much competition to be this complacent where the food is concerned!

Attended Rocksalt recently. It's a good little bar that seems to suffer from bad staffing. The food quality is good albeit slightly pricey for the area, the drinks are definitely on the high side. The venue itself has that quirky vintage shabby chic feel. I...

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Visited while going to a session at the de le warr pavilion, directly opposite, with parking.

Have been many times but wanted to leave a review after a fantastic lunch today. Great service and the cod loin special was amazing.

Visited on a Thursday, for a meal, but wouldn’t recommend this as once the ‘pub’ goers arrived it became very noisy and cramped, with numerous people hovering around and behind us whilst we tried to eat. Ordered what used to be called a Rocksalt burger...

My friend and I popped in here for a drink. Bagged a decent window table. Prices a little higher than average, but they have a good range on tap. Love the gamma ray

We had the most delicious lunch at Rocksalt, we are both vegetarian and had the choice of at least 2 starters and 3 mains. The whipped marmite aoli was incredible! The staff were friendly and welcoming and we will definitely be back.

Stayed from Friday till Sunday. Straightforward checking.clean room modern bathroom, nice white towels.tea coffee biscuits water.breakfast was freshly prepared. Good quality products .very nice staff friendly & welcoming.

We are pretty regular to this place and cannot recommend it enough! (Throughout the pandemic Rocksalt are our go to place to order!) The food and service has always been good but tonight (feb 11) it was outstanding! They have really stepped up their game...

We have just returned from a brilliant weekend at Bexhill visiting our daughter's show at the De La Warr Pavilion. We had a very comfortable stay at Rocksalt B and B and delicous meals in the restaurant attached/downstairs. The breakfasts were superb. I was really...

Second time visiting this bar/hotel and this time we stayed. The rooms are exceptionally spacious and one of the cleanest rooms and hotel I have experienced in a long while. The meal we had was so tasty the prawns were unbelievable all fresh from local...

A new chef in town! Heard about the new menu at this bistro/bar. Something quite different. I tried the scallops, which were so tasty and delicious, followed by white chocolate parfait, so, so good. The staff are so friendly and aim to please. Can’t wait...

We recently attended one of the 12 nights of Xmas live music nights, discovered they have the best cocktails in town and it was absolutely incredible atmosphere... great fun! Honestly can't recommend this place enough whether you are having a couples date night, family meal...

We had a fantastic time here. Party of 35 very well catered for. Food was really good. Service was immense, considering the size of us. Particular thanks to Chloe, who processed the many orders all through the night. Fabulous place.

Fist time around, being new to Bexhill we really liked the decor and general vibe. Lots of people had bookings so it seems to be very popular with locals. Service was super nice and attentive but the food was a little bit on the bland...

Had a lovely lunch with family. Waitress was really welcoming and super helpful. Will definitely return . Recommend the sharing platter

Really friendly, welcoming atmosphere - great place for drinks and a burger. Sadly main meals were disappointing, in taste, portion size and price😕

Advertised as bottomless brunch between 12-3pm £40 with a 2 course meal, we booked. We arrived at 12 to be informed the bottomless brunch actually only lasted 90 minutes! For £40, we ended up with maybe 5 small preseccos and a starter and a meal....

Stayed in the hotel rooms upstairs. Nice clean room, with a sea view. reasonable price. Had a couple of drinks in the 'rustic' bar downstairs which had really friendly staff and a good vibe but we couldn't hear any bar noise in the bedroom. Inclusive...

Best gluten free fish and chips I’ve eaten for a while. Seasoned perfectly, great chips and side salad. Good atmosphere and location to sea front and De La Warr Pavilion

Get there early and go for the breakfast, all cooked fresh and a choice on how you want your eggs, not only that, REAL sausages

Firstly staff are excellent . Food tho is dire. Really small portions, expensive and tasted microwavedand the mushrooms with blue cheese were like rubber. The tables they say are trendy, yes if u like dirty rusty metal tables. Will not be returning

Cannot fault this venue, great food, great service and a fantastic addition to Bexhill. Music nights are very good. No. I am not the manager posting my good review. I am a local who loves this place.

Always love Rocksalt, moved away 4 years ago but so pleased that it hasn’t changed. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere.

The staff here are excellent, and the outside terrace is overlooking the De La Warr Pavillion. The music played compliments the sociable atmosphere . A great people watching spot and a chance for lovely brasserie food and drinks.

We didn’t eat here as we had a coffee and I have to say it was the worst ever! Absolutely undrinkable . When we came to pay the bill I said we have not drunk the coffee as it’s got such a terrible taste and...

Rocksalt On Sea was recommended by friends, we tried walking in to get a table on a Friday Lunchtime but it was fully booked (Always a good sign) so I made a reservation for the next day. When we arrived they put us on a...

Had a lovely time with my friend here the other day. Really enjoyed the food lovely welcome from the staff and service with a smile. Good classic food and drink perfect place to meet and chill with a friend.

Went to Taco Tuesday! Fabulous! Really great (blue corn mmm!) chips and salsa…the guacamole was brill, salsa verde packed a lovely punch. Also had the tacos, yummo! Lovely place to just chill after work. Sam really runs the place well. Tuba is the best server…so...

Visited on Friday afternoon for a late lunch, lovely Family vibe of a pub/ restaurant. Food was delicious and the staff really attentive to us from the moment we walked in. Dogs allowed also and really nice vibe with families, couples and friends all mixing....

We were in Bexhill visiting from Bromley (Kent), a day out at the seaside. We walked past Rock Salt and just popped in for some food! We was greeted by the lovely owner Sam who made us feel extremely welcome! We was initially taken back...

We booked a table at Rocksalt for my birthday we were looking forward to it, but…. We asked twice for a menu waited ages for someone to come and take the order there were no prices on the menu for main meals that should have...

Ordered a Mediterranean sharing platter, which wasn’t enough food for one, let alone two. About 1 tablespoon each of hummus, Guacamole, beetroot dip etc all tasted brought in & not fresh. 3 slices of courgette, some onion & a clove of garlic for the roasted...

Had a long journey into Bexhill, so just looked for the closest place to eat once we'd parked up. Nice, friendly staff, good service and reasonable prices. We had the calamari and the halloumi starters, both of which were absolutely gorgeous. My wife had the...

If you want to experience something different, then Rocksalt-on-Sea is the place to be! It was buzzing at Sunday lunchtime. We chose the Sunday roast, which were great! For dessert, one chose the banoffee sundae, coffee sundae and I had the sticky toffee pudding with...

Went here for my birthday, it didn’t disappoint! Four in the party had roasts - absolutely amazing food! And the ribs were great too. Sam was an amazing host and the staff are very accommodating Try this place - you will not be disappointed- we...

This was our 2nd time here & is a fantastic bar. Friendly staff great beer and a lovely vibe. It’s dog friendly too which is a plus. The only minus for me was the food I had seafood linguine which had chewy octopus & squid...

Pre ordered, got the food on time and it was tasty! The fries were superb, and the burger felt healthy-the meat was good quality and not oozing with fat.

A very friendly, dog friendly cafe. My partner enjoyed the daily special of hash browns with poached egg and Inhad ham, egg and chips. Both meals were very tasty and good value for money. We would definitely visit again.

Had dinner here tonight. Luckily we booked a table as it was busy. Food was delicious - and hot. Mushrooms in garlic and blue cheese sauce were really good. Hubby had fish and chips - huge bit of fish with amazing light batter. Two starters,...

My wife and I came here for the first time the other night and was not disappointed. There was plenty to choose from off a lovely menu, the quality of the food was great, and the staff were very friendly. Can’t wait to go again.

We ate here a few weeks ago when you had to sit outside and it was really good! Atmosphere great! Staff friendly and helpful and prompt to take orders! Food excellent - I chose the burger as a change and so glad I did as...

The best beef short rib I’ve ever had, no knife required in this one ! FANTASTIC!! Shame it was a special get it on the menu permanent.oh and the staff were amazing, love this place!!

First time coming here, we ordered 2 burgers with special requests and we got exactly what we wanted! The staff where very nice. Despite the weather it was a lovely place and we defiantly shall be going again!
