A place where bold flavours, honest cooking and vibrant hospitality come together. Founded by Rosie Furnival, The Fig is a reflection of her love for food and her drive to always evolve.
Rosie’s journey has been about pushing boundaries. The Fig has developed hugely over the last 10 years — starting out as a tea room serving coffee, sandwiches and cakes to the much loved restaurant it is today.
About The Fig
Welcome to The Fig, Rye
“It’s almost like I want to make things a bit difficult for myself. If things are settled and easy, I get bored.”
MasterChef The Professionals
For Rosie, it was never about winning. She wanted to push herself, learn new skills and stand alongside some of the best in the industry. To prepare, she trained with her mentor Jamie Wickens, worked closely with local suppliers such as Rye Fish Market and spent time in Michelin starred kitchens where discipline and detail are everything.
Her experience on MasterChef The Professionals was both intense and inspiring. She faced pressure, moments of doubt and the thrill of seeing her food judged on a national stage. The journey confirmed what she had hoped — her cooking and her restaurant belong among those delivering serious flavour first food.
