BUT MAKE IT KENTISH GOURMET

STEP INTO 2026 WITH POSITIVE PLATES THAT NOURISH AND FLAVOURS THAT EXCITE WITH KENT’ S EVER-IMPRESSIVE LARDER LEADING THE WAY.

As soon as the last of the Christmas treats have been devoured, we find ourselves met once again with the familiar chorus of‘ new year, new me’, often accompanied by the instant overwhelm of new healthy eating rules and joyless dieting. While recent years have thankfully seen a shift away from such drastic and unnecessary measures, that lingering pressure to completely overhaul our eating habits overnight can often creep its way back in.

Ensuring we are fuelling our bodies and minds with the good, however, doesn’ t need to be restrictive or complicated. In fact, nourishment often comes from making those small but consistently conscious steps in the right direction- choosing vibrant plates that echo the seasons for both freshness and flavour, leaning into the mindful roots of Kentish provenance and seeking out quality ingredients that are naturally rich in antioxidants.
Luckily for us, this is where Kent’ s unrivalled bounty really thrives, and where our county’ s wealth of chefs, creators and culinary extraordinaires are brilliantly redefining the healthy eating scene, sharing their true love of food through produce-led plates and thoughtful cooking.
From flourishing eateries championing all things plant power and nutrient-packed dishes to dazzling dining establishments with sustainable sourcing and seasonal glory at the fore, here’ s some of the very finest foodie destinations to help you kickstart a refreshed, nourished and incredibly tasty year ahead.
