The Garden Room
Coming to Kent this autumn, 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 will be open to guests not visiting the park or staying in its award winning accommodation.
The Garden Room’s carefully curated menu will feature only the freshest and best local seasonal ingredients that the autumn harvest has to offer. The menu will ensure 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 drink’s 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 will initially be open for dinner reservations 7 days per week and will also introduce a traditional Sunday lunch menu. Diners who book a table for Sunday lunch 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 lunch later in the day.
