Restaurants in Kent

Kent is the Garden of England which means that the county's best restaurants have access to an abundance of fresh local produce.

Look out for oysters from Whitstable, lamb from the Romney Marshes, Dover Sole and wine from the vineyards of Tenterden.

Although close to the capital, Kent retains much of its rural charm and a visit to this region would not be complete without sampling the food in one of the delightful, age old country dining pubs.
