CDP Chef

The Woolpack

Established in 2011, The Rocksalt Group is an independently owned and award winning group of restaurants and pubs located across the South Coast of Kent. The operation includes flagship restaurant Rocksalt, which has held 2 AA rosettes for 12 consecutive years running, plus it’s sister fish restaurant Little Rock and Pilot beach bar located just a short walk away in Folkestone Harbour. The Rocksalt Group also owns a group of highly regarded pubs under The Pickled Egg Pub Company. Executive Group Chef Marcin Szelag who has worked for the group since Rocksalt first opened it’s doors over 12 years ago, now leads a strong team of talented chefs across all venues and oversees the operation and delivery of all menus across the group. With a key focus on locally sourced, seasonal produce from highly regarded local suppliers, Marcin plays a pivotal role in the success of all venues.
The Woolpack is possibly one of Kent’s most attractive pub destinations, nestled in the heart of the countryside just above Romney Marsh, in the village of Warehorne, while still only being a 15 minute drive from Ashford or Tenterden. The menu focuses on the best locally sourced and seasonal produce from the surrounding fields and coastline, built around a core menu plus daily specials.
Situated directly in front of Warehorne Church, The Woolpack also boasts 5 stunning guest rooms and a large garden terrace that looks out across the surrounding fields.

Working at The Woolpack

Along with The Woolpack, The Pickled Egg Pub Company own and operate 3 other sites across Kent. These include The Duke William, a quintessential Kentish Pub located in the heart of the Garden of England, The Five Bells, a stunning 16th century inn overlooking the rolling hills of the North Downs in East Brabourne and The Radnor Arms, a recently-renovated victorian pub in the Old Bouverie district of Folkestone.
