We had the 4 course short lunch menu with, bread, olives, and nibbles. As always, everything, service, food and drink was perfect. Every course was both a visual and culinary work of art, different and very tasty too!

A real gourmet experience. A real gem in the heart of the Weald of Kent. A small intimate restaurant in the middle of Biddenden has been a favourite of mine for many years. The food is exquisitely presented and the tasting menu never fails to present fantastic flavours and interesting combinations of local produce. And if you love trying new wines, the wine pairing options from around the world are always brilliant. Always allow a few hours for the meal to get to get the full value from the dining experience.
