Hide and Fox, Saltwood

After the closing of Saltwood on the Green in 2017, I will admit to worrying what the fate of the building would be; it had been so wonderfully renovated, the ornate wooden dresser beautifully restored. Over the three years it was open, the restaurant had been a beacon of brilliance; at once a place of discovery and of comfort — and all within 15 minutes from our house. I was devastated when it closed, but after a couple years gathering dust, new life has been breathed into Saltwood’s old general store. Enter Hide and Fox.

Allister Barsby and Alice Bussi have crafted a small, but mighty team of hospitality experts to bring relaxed modern fine dining to Kent’s south coast. This is the real deal: food, drinks, service, atmosphere, experience. Within a few minutes of coming in the door you will understand why there are so many Michelin stars, AA rosettes and industry awards behind these four talented people.
