Home Grown
We use the very best seasonal and locally sourced ingredients wherever we can in our Restaurants. We grow some of our own food at Walmestone Growers, a major supplier to many top restaurants within Kent and London.
Our team also work with Kentish suppliers and farmers who are as passionate about growing, as our chefs are about cooking.
