Many thanks to all our guests for voting us Restaurant of the Year and Andrew McLeish Chef of the Year. Winning one major award is a privilege, but to receive two in a single evening is an exceptional honour.
Paula Almond, Restaurant Manager
We are delighted to celebrate an unprecedented double victory at the Kent Life Food and Drink Awards—marking the very first time in the event’s history that a single establishment has secured both flagship titles. Standing out amongst formidable regional competition from across the county, Chapter One was named Restaurant of the Year, while Chef Patron Andrew McLeish was proudly crowned Chef of the Year.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every guest who voted for us. From the kitchen brigade carefully sourcing ingredients from trusted local growers, to our dedicated front-of-house team ensuring flawless service, everyone at Chapter One works tirelessly to deliver a memorable modern European fine dining experience. It is deeply rewarding to have our passion for exceptional Locksbottom hospitality recognised on such a prestigious stage.
