FOOD+DRINK WHERE WORKING FARM MEETS FINE DINING, insideKENT DISCOVERS A TRADITIONAL FAMILY FRIENDLY SUNDAY LUNCH AT FRASERS, EGERTON IN THE HEART OF RURAL KENTISH COUNTRYSIDE, THROUGH WINDING COUNTRY LANES, AND BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ASHFORD AND MAIDSTONE, LIES THE TINY ENCLAVE OF EGERTON, AND THE SOME, 300 ACRE, COLDHARBOUR FARM HOME OF FRASERS. BY SAMANTHA READY With genuine passion and relentless drive, namesake wife and husband team Lisa-Jane and Adam Fraser, demonstrate how, seemingly effortlessly, a unique working farm can become a fine dining restaurant with rooms concept. An award winning concept in fact; offering intricate 2AA Rosette 7 course taster menus within the contemporary yet traditional barn-converted vaulted ceiling restaurant, a unique and secluded 5* wedding and events venue; complete with a beautiful countryside marquee in the summer months; and bespoke contemporary and secluded rooms with the added addition of a soon to open beautifully created addition of the converted barn space which will offer an additional four country- 76 contemporary bedrooms, private dining space and corporate team working space, all with panoramic countryside views and stunning copper, wood and natural stone finishes. But this was Sunday, and on Sundays Frasers not only offers its justifiably popular afternoon teas (with some of the largest and tastiest homemade scones known to man) but, and in my opinion, more importantly, their sharing Sunday Roasts which on the first Sunday of the month includes the added side-dish of live music from jazz to our own afternoon of acoustic movie soundtracks.
