We offer a discreet Chef's Table experience in our luxurious open plan restaurant at Rhoden Green near Paddock Wood, Kent. You can see what's going on at the stoves and chat with the team if you like. Top quality produce but not tweezered or fussy.

Intimate & private full service restaurant plus occasional supper clubs. Booking only please. 14 maximum usually, unless it's summery so we can open the tables in the Japanese garden and spectacular BBQ kitchen with a XXL Big Green Egg & Summit.

Menu changes weekly: the best seasonal & usually local produce. Super fresh and prepared here in the restaurant. Chef may amend on the day depending on what's good in our kitchen garden or market. Menu page has examples. Some things sell out quickly.

Fine and unusual bone china, silverware, stemware & crystal that enhances your experience in a beautiful room with a view.

Sustainable Our large garden grows much of our produce 50 yards from the restaurant. No waste, on-site compost, no landfill.

For full room bookings we can design a menu tailor made for you - call us and discuss with the chef exactly what you would like.

Close to West Malling, Brenchley, Matfield, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Tonbridge & Paddock Wood & villages around. Parking is easy, free & safe in our private car park.
