Showcasing the best that Kent has to offer , head chef Shane and his team strive to delight and inspire with fresh , local and seasonal produce celebrating the very best of Kent . Much of Boys Hall ’ s menu is cooked over fire and their menu changes with the seasons . Brad and Richie have curated a wine cellar that is brimming with Kentish and international vintages along with expertly crafted cocktails to enjoy at any time of the day . Beautifully reimagined , the restaurant is accessed at the rear of the grand house , passing the flourishing kitchen garden ( which was hand planted by the family last spring ) to enter an alluring L-shaped space framed with floor-to-ceiling windows that , come summer , offer views out across the gardens and beyond .
