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, overseen by Head Chef Chris Davis, 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. General Manager, Hugh Rowberry, who is responsible for both The Woolpack Inn plus it's sister pub at The Duke William has a wealth of experience is often welcoming locals into the pub for community get togethers as well as popular Live Music and Quiz Nights which are loved by all.
