SUNDAY LUNCH AT

BRIDGE ARMS

FOOD IMAGERY: ADAM READY, insideKENT

THERE’ S A PARTICULAR ALCHEMY REQUIRED TO CREATE A NEW INCARNATION OF A MUCH- LOVED AND ACCLAIMED GASTRO PUB, WHERE YOU ARE TRYING TO MAINTAIN AWARD- WINNING STANDARDS AND A STAUNCH COMMITMENT TO INGREDIENT PROVENANCE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY PROVIDING AN OFFERING THAT FEELS LIKE THE SORT OF PLACE YOU DROP IN FOR A WEDNESDAY NIGHT PINT AND SOME EXCELLENT TRIPLE-COOKED CHIPS. THE BRIDGE ARMS, A 16TH-CENTURY COACHING INN IN THE VILLAGE OF BRIDGE IN THE RURAL OUTSKIRTS OF CANTERBURY THAT’ S NOW UNDER THE CAPABLE STEWARDSHIP OF ELLIOT HEWITT, HAS, QUITE CLEVERLY, MASTERED PRECISELY THAT BALANCE.
