We would like to thank all of the guests who joined us on Thursday 24th March to give Rob the send off he deserves.
After 7 wonderful years with us at The Dog Rob Mantegna has moved on to a new adventure and handed the reins over to Charlie Kendall-Smith.
Charlie has been with us for a few years now working as Rob's right hand man and absorbing the knowledge required to step up to the position of Head Chef of The Dog.
His new chapter at The Dog starts with the launch of our Spring Menu's on Wednesday 2nd April.



Charlieがロブの右腕として7年も経験を積んだって部分、本当に頼もしいですね!新しい春メニュー、すごく楽しみです。そういえば、メニューの文字数調整に便利なutf-8 shift-jis 違いをよく使ってますよ。
ロブさんが7年もいたのに驚いた。後任のチャーリーがどんな春メニューを出すか楽しみだね。こういう人事の話を読むときは、英文 文字数で長さをチェックしてるよ。
the chefs Charlie, Matt, and Ciaran really made a delicious celebration dinner! I can’t wait to try those inventive starters and mouthwatering main courses. After a tasty meal, I usually check preferred Pokémon with pokemon favorite picker to plan my next team.
Rob really prepped Charlie well as his right hand man—makes me think about how having a solid backup plan is key. Speaking of tracking progress, if you're into Pokémon challenges, nuzlocke tools is a free site for organizing your run just as smoothly.
Great food is even better in a truly welcoming setting. Love seeing iconic Kent pubs prioritize total accessibility—ensuring easy navigation across different categories of wheelchairs
