Exquisite Al Fresco Dining at Chapter One
Chapter One presents an award-winning five-course tasting menu on our all-weather terrace in Locksbottom, offering a premier modern European fine dining experience in the heart of Kent. Guided by Chef Patron Andrew McLeish, our culinary team curates seasonal dishes sourced from trusted regional suppliers to showcase the area’s rich culinary heritage. Please note that the selections below are a sample menu; view our current menus for today’s specific seasonal offerings.
Available exclusively on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, this culinary journey invites guests to relax under the retractable roof of our terrace. The evening commences with a complimentary glass of Bernard Remy Champagne and concludes gracefully with freshly brewed artisan coffee or loose-leaf tea, accompanied by our kitchen’s handcrafted petits fours.
To elevate your meal, our resident sommelier can provide a bespoke wine flight selected from our extensive AA Notable Wine List, ensuring each pour perfectly complements the complex flavours of your seasonal tasting journey.
