THE GARDEN OF TASTELAND

DISCOVER A VIBRANT JOURNEY OF FEARLESS FLAVOURS, AMBITIOUS MAKERS AND TASTE-BUD TRIUMPHS- A TRUE TESTAMENT TO THE BOLD FOODIE IDENTITY THAT KENT HAS MADE ITS OWN.

In a county where difference is well and truly celebrated and rule-reinventing innovation is placing it firmly on the global stage, flavour magic can be found in abundance. Not one to do things by halves, Kent’ s food and beverage scene has never been so exciting. Bridging the gap between sustainable strides and modern technique, fusing global cultures with long-loved Garden of England tastes and weaving heritage with all things fresh and forward-thinking, the county’ s wealth of chefs, creators and crafters are redefining taste rather brilliantly.

From boundary-pushing kitchens bringing never-before-seen creativity to the culinary landscape, to groundbreaking confectioners turning chocolate into edible artistry and distillers telling stories in every crafted concoction- not to mention those transforming not just dishes but entire settings into immersive foodie destinations- join us in a flavour feast for the senses. This is a rightful celebration of Kent’ s most imaginative chefs, restaurants, brewers and winemakers, who are all swapping out the norm and, in doing so, are creating some of the most thrilling food and drink experiences around.
