Discover Folkestone's food & wine with its award-winning culinary scene

Folkestone has firmly established itself as an award-winning foodie destination. At its heart is Rocksalt, a celebrated waterfront restaurant showcasing seasonal, locally sourced seafood and modern British cuisine. Nearby, Marleys brings a cosy neighbourhood charm to the Old High Street, using the freshest local ingredients that regularly have locals queuing out of the door.

For steak and classic grill dishes, Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill Folkestone offers a refined dining experience, while wine lovers gravitate towards Pomus, known for its intimate setting, curated wine list and small plates. Both Little Rock and Shesells Seashells offer seaside dining experiences, delighting visitors with exquisite local sea food.

Independent cafés, bakeries and casual bars are scattered through the town and beach front with local favourites Steep Street Coffee House, Rachel's and Okay Coffee fuelling mornings in the town and the Creative Quarter. Beachfront spots such as The Pilot Beach Bar and Sailbox offer a relaxed, sociable atmosphere with panoramic views. Locally renowned, Dockers Bakery serves freshly baked bread and quality coffee from its welcoming bakery in Park Farm and is always worth getting up early for!

Just beyond the town, Terlingham Vineyard offers tours and tastings, reflecting Kent’s reputation as the Garden of England and as an award-winning English wine region.
