Highlighting Peak Kentish Produce
Our culinary showcases frequently place a spotlight on elusive, hyper-seasonal favourites, such as locally foraged Kentish wild garlic. Hand-picked during its brief seasonal window, this fragrant ingredient exemplifies our commitment to regional splendour. Previous standout dishes have included premium heritage beef sourced from specialist regional estates, featuring the exceptional picanha cut beautifully accompanied by luxurious Périgord truffle. Every meticulously plated dish is paired with matching vintages curated by our trusted in-house sommelier team.
