It’s November, and the festive season is fast approaching. In less than three weeks, from Monday 24th November, we’ll be officially launching our festive celebrations across The Rocksalt Group and we plan to make it the most magical yet.

Tables are already filling quickly across all of our venues, so if your’e still not booked in then now is the perfect time to plan your festive get-together. Whether it’s a Christmas party, a family meal, or a cosy evening with friends, we’ll make sure it’s one to remember.

We’ve got a full programme of events and entertainment to see you through the season, so keep reading to see what’s in store including a special invitation to our most celebrated news this month...

The festive season officially launches at Rocksalt from Monday 24th November, and we’re kicking things off in true Rocksalt style. Join us for Four Festive Fridays – a sparkling series of Christmas party nights filled with live music, flavour, and celebration.

Whether you’re gathering friends, colleagues or family, these evenings promise incredible food, vibrant atmosphere and plenty of festive spirit — all overlooking Folkestone’s stunning harbour.

It’s been quite a month for us, with not one but two reasons to celebrate. We’re proud to share that The Radnor Arms has been voted 5th Best Pub in Britain by The Good Food Guide, alongside our inclusion in the 2025 Guide.

To mark the occasion, we’re offering a limited-edition set lunch menu from this week until 21st November. Quote “Good Food” when dining Wednesday–Friday and enjoy a complimentary glass of fizz on us to celebrate.

We’ll also be hosting a celebration evening on Friday 14th November from 6pm at The Radnor Arms. Join us for samples of our signature flatbreads and a few drinks on the house – available for a limited time only so come early!

We can’t wait to raise a glass and celebrate with you all.

As the days grow shorter and the evenings turn crisp, there’s no better time to enjoy a little midweek escape. Our Midweek Retreat is the perfect excuse to slow down, unwind, and make the most of those quieter moments between seasons.

Enjoy an overnight stay for two, complete with a three-course dinner and breakfast the following morning, all for just £189. Settle in by the fire, savour comforting seasonal dishes, and wake up refreshed to a hearty breakfast — the perfect midweek reset.

This exclusive offer is available for low-season midweek stays in November 2025, January, and February 2026, subject to pub opening times.

Spaces are limited, so book your stay now and make your next midweek getaway one to remember.

We’re delighted to be teaming up with Louise from the East Kent Flower Company, an expert local florist, to host four fabulous wreath-making workshops across our Pickled Egg pubs this festive season.

Bookings can be made directly via the link here. Spaces are limited and must be reserved by 14th November, so don’t miss your chance to get creative and kick off the season in style.

6th December traditionally marks Sinterklaas, the much-loved Dutch festive tradition where the kind and generous Saint Nicholas arrives bearing gifts and sweet treats for children. We’re bringing some of that seasonal magic to The Duke William with our very own Christmas Market.

Join us for a fabulous festive afternoon in the heart of Ickham between 11am-4pm for the opportunity to support our local traders, pick up some festive treats and enjoy live music and our winter BBQ.
