The Rose
Kent, Deal - Modern British - Pub with rooms - ££
‘From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, you feel relaxed and happy, the decor is fantastic, and the service is perfect: attentive but not over-bearing.’ Welcome to the Rose – a great dining pub pursuing smart technique and quality ingredients in an atmosphere of scuffed wood floors, vintage furniture, modern art and fashionable colours. Rivitalised by Christopher Hicks and Alex Bagner, it’s relaxed enough to cater for those who just want a drink in the bar or fancy taking advantage of the alfresco tables in the courtyard. This impressively skilful balancing act also comes with the bonus of splendid bedrooms and terrific breakfasts too. Nuno Mendes (Lisboeta et al) is a friend of the owners and helped to kick-start the menu, although chefs David Gadd and Luke Green have put their own stamp on proceedings, belting out a regularly changing line-up of sharply executed snacks and bigger plates all defined by a flavour-first approach to seasonal ...

There’s sheer enjoyment to be had from simple assemblies such as flatbread with fresh cheese and pickled wild garlic or razor clams with courgette and beach herbs. For something more substantial, consider roast rack of lamb with radishes and sorrel or a take on skate with brown butter also involving cockles and samphire. Round off with an ice-cream sandwich or rhubarb and frangipane tart. Inventive cocktails vie for attention with the concise, good-value wine list.
