New opening!
Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve near Hythe is delighted to announce the opening of its new restaurant and bar: The Garden Room, nestled within Sir Philip Sassoon’s original stableyard.
For the first time a restaurant within the main reserve is open to guests not visiting the park or staying in its award winning accommodation.
The Garden Room’s carefully curated menu features only the freshest and best local seasonal ingredients that the seasonal harvest has to offer. The menu ensures there is something to suit all tastes & occasions. Designed by Port Lympne’s Executive Head Chef Lee Edney. The food is complemented by an extensive drinks menu, which includes a unique botanical themed cocktail that provides a nod to the garden-inspired surroundings, locally produced fine wines, and a range of Kent ales.
The Garden Room is open to the public for lunch*, Sunday roast and dinner. Overnight guests can join us for breakfast, lunch, Sunday roast and dinner reservations. Diners who book a table for Sunday roast will also have complimentary access to the Reserve and can use the opportunity as a way to work up an appetite or walk off their meal later in the day.
*Please note lunch is only served Friday and Saturday, and a delicious roast is served on Sundays until 1st December 2021, however we are open daily during half term 18th - 28th October 2021.
