About

Rocksalt House on the Folkestone pier has long been a culinary landmark, and its new Wine Bar takes that reputation to new heights. Located on the first floor, the Wine Bar offers uninterrupted sea‑view terraces, a sun‑deck for summer days, and direct access to the harbour viaduct, creating an inviting atmosphere for both casual drinks and a relaxed tasting experience. The bar’s curated selection focuses on the finest local and continental wines, with an extensive glass list that changes regularly alongside seasonal cocktails. Innovative, low‑ and no‑alcohol options are also featured, and the menu is complemented by a lighter food offering that pairs perfectly with a crisp glass of wine. Classic bar dishes – from oysters to games of charcuterie – are presented with a fresh, contemporary twist. Whether you arrive for a pre‑dinner cocktail, a weekend brunch, or a late‑night celebration, the Rocksalt Wine Bar welcomes guests with warm, knowledgeable service and a sophisticated ambience that captures the essence of the South Coast Coastline. The space is especially popular for couples looking for a romantic evening, food lovers seeking sophisticated pairings, and families interested in a relaxed yet refined dining experience on the water. Reservations are recommended, particularly during peak tourist periods and the festive season, but the bar is open to walk‑ins, and guests are encouraged to enjoy the remarkable views without prior booking for a spontaneous stopover on the harbour.
