We booked a table of 10 for a birthday celebration and were required to pay a £10 per person deposit to secure the reservation. Upon arrival, the staff were accommodating, especially with our birthday cake, and greeted us warmly. The drinks order was taken promptly, and since we had pre-ordered our meals, there was no need to wait to place our food order. However, the food took a considerable amount of time to arrive. While some of our group enjoyed their meals, others were less satisfied. The least enjoyed dish was the steak, which was unfortunately very tough and chewy. The couple who ordered the Moules Frites found it decent, but they both felt unwell the following day. While this could be coincidental, it’s worth noting. On a more positive note, the meat platter was excellent—delicious and generously portioned, easily enough to share between two people. It was definitely a highlight of the menu. After our main courses, the staff brought out the cake, and they made the moment enjoyable, continuing their excellent service in that regard. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by incredibly slow service. We spent over three hours at the table, with long waits between courses, which really affected the evening. When it came time to pay, the waitress insisted that tips should be given in cash, so we complied. The venue has a policy of not allowing re-entry after 11 pm, and as it was 10:35 pm, we barely had time to grab a drink elsewhere and return for the entertainment. The bouncers were rude, as has been the case in previous visits. When we returned at 10:55 pm, despite having spoken to them earlier, they demanded ID again and were unnecessarily unpleasant to our group. After we left, I realized the £100 deposit had not been deducted from our bill. When we returned the next morning to collect the remainder of our cake (which had mysteriously lost all its chocolate truffles from the top), I inquired about the deposit. The staff member was polite and assured me it had been accounted for, but I wasn’t convinced. After emailing the restaurant, I received a response a week later confirming that the deposit had, in fact, not been deducted and would be refunded to the person who booked. After missing the call back, the booker attempted to contact the restaurant several times over the next few weeks. They returned our call once, but it took multiple failed calls on our end before we finally reached them. Overall, our experience was soured by the slow service, unpleasant door staff and the mishandling of the deposit. £100 is a significant amount to overlook, and had I not rechecked the bill, it would have added to what was already an expensive meal.

So initially first impressions were good, nice decor etc good music. But like every business and service and product sale, things go wrong. That's life, stuff happens doesn't it.. The measure of any business is how it handles it. I've worked in hospitality, I've worked in loads of pubs, restaurants and my family have had pubs, restaurants and a hotel. When something goes wrong, surely it's pretty much known you" apologise." We had been told there were two tables ahead of us. Fine. We had been told there would be bit of a wait. I asked about bread because we didn't want the bread to be treated like a starter where we have to then wait longer for a main. She said there are two tables ahead of you so I said OK let's have the bread first. How long does a bit of a wait mean to anyone because we had to wait according to them, 47 mins. And that's OK. We got in at 18 30 and were fed at around 19.47 After about 40 mins I went to the waitress to ask how much longer a normal response is " I'm so sorry, let me go and check". Not here, I was treated to more information about chef and the two tables ahead of us as if I was a toddler. I've been to hundreds of restaurants in my life where either you apologise for clearly over booking, being greedy and taking bookings you can't forfill in a reasonable time line or you offer compensation,or just apologise profusely. Not here! They just want to tell you about chefs time management issues. Did she want me to buy poor chef a drink?? Or go and help him?? Meanwhile I've got two hungry children just sat waiting and waiting and moaning and moaning! We've not enjoyed our time in whitstable and we thought last night we had found somewhere really good to eat. At the end without any humility or apologies a new waitress comes with a cheery " is everything OK" when the bill comes. When I said again I'm not happy about the wait she "told me off" for not waiting to hear more about chefs issues with cooking management. Absolutely no care in the world as she took 120 pounds off us. She was argumentative and rude. And tried to waste more of my life talking about chef. No effort at all to apologise. No appreciation that we had our meal ruined. I wonder if I said I'm so sorry we can't pay you now we've had two meals out today already and my money isn't organised so you will have to wait???? Unbelievable folks.

Excellent food, Excellent service, would query the payment system . Surely the deposit should come off the bill, not refunded to your account, which could take 7 days. Would prefer the service charge to be a discretionary item not automatically included in bill.

BLOODY BRILLIANT!! We visited the rock lodge through a recommendation whilst staying in the area and my gosh it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was incredible. Fridays and Saturdays you’re treated to live music which really makes the evening! We had the pleasure of seeing ‘Phat Gandolf’ and what a band they were! What was going to be an early night turned into a great date night (we changed our taxi time twice because the music was so good). Will definitely be back for another stein when in town! Highly recommend!

It was a real mixed bag, both the staff and the atmosphere were pleasant but the food wasn’t up to scratch. The mac and cheese lacked cheese, although the texture was nice. The mussels and chips were below average, mussels where mostly dry and the ‘creamy’ sauce had no cream in it. The steak was also average and came medium instead of medium rare. The fish and chips where decent. Nice location, nice staff, if they get the food right it will be on the money.

Staff were lovely but we came during a Wednesday when it was empty (they were looking to close when we arrived). They stayed open for longer and we appreciated it. Music is reasonable and drinks were refreshing. Not the cheapest for Whitstable but ok for one night. The decor is lovely but as we were the only ones, it was as difficult to rate the atmosphere. We will come back on a busy weekend and see what it’s like.

What a lovely little restaurant/bar! The decor is brilliant and the menu has good choices. We were visiting from Essex and had a table book on a Sat night @ 7pm. The kitchen experienced a serious incident where their head chef has to be taken to a&e so they were left extremely short staffed in the kitchen. It meant we had a long wait for our food, but once this was (eventually) explained to us, of course we were understanding. The lady who served us (sorry I don’t know your name but she had brown hair in a bun) dealt with it all so well and was working so hard. The food was absolutely delicious when it came up and was very well presented. They compensated us for the issues that night (which was greatly appreciated) and we made our way downstairs to the bar area where there was a dj who was fantastic, playing songs to get us in the England Football mood for the final! We will definitely come back if visiting again as we appreciate this was a one off incident.

Hello, I am a self confessed roast snob and this roast is fantastic. My sister very much wants me to mention the generous portions. You get a LOT of gravy, and when we were there, there was a tequila rose cheesecake special. What more could a hun ask for? The staff are very friendly and it's a cozy, fun atmosphere. I've also tried the non-roast options another time and they were exquisite!

Don’t normally leave reviews but I cannot ignore this experience I had with Rocklodge for my Christmas do with my friends. I am a regular customer of this fine establishment when I am home and they did not disappoint when we had a large group of 16! To start with , just how organising a large group goes…. We had a few drop outs and change around (some near the last moments!) but how Rock Lodge dealt with this was so professional and friendly! I want to give a special shout out to two of the servers who dealt with our group for our meal - Teegan and Sarah you were absolutely amazing ! You paid so much attention to all of our needs and were so welcoming / polite. You were both so down to earth and I speak on behalf of our group that we all loved you ! Going on to the food…. Unreal! We were expecting good things but everyone’s socks were officially blown off! Considering we only paid 36ish per head we got really premium two courses ! Shout out to the chefs (you know ball ⚽️) Would highly recommend this to locals and travellers alike 🕺 Cannot wait to come again , keep up the amazing work!

Never been here before but it’s one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Atmosphere was lovely, staff friendly and generally happy to have us there. This is a very dog friendly restaurant. You do book for downstairs with a further upstairs dining area...

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.

Arrived to a very loud and noisy bar to find out our table was next to the door, across from the bar and next to noisy drinkers. We waited 15 mins for a drink although the drinkers at the bar where served ahead of our drinks order.....we knew then we had made a mistake! The food was excellent we both cleared our plate but atmosphere, service and attention to detail was lacking. Would not return in the immediate future.
