The Corner House 42 Station Road Minster CT12 4BZ 01843 823000 The Corner House is an independent restaurant with rooms located in the historic village of Minster in Kent. Matt Sworder, has worked at a number of London restaurants including Gordon Ramsay's La Noisette, but is now thrilled to be back in Kent running his own show. It only opened a year ago, but The Corner House has been listed in both the 2015 Michelin Guide and the 2015 Waitrose Good Food Guide, putting the historic little village firmly on the East Kent gastronomic map. www.thecornerhouseminster.co.uk Young chef and patron, Matt Sworder, is already making a name for his seasonally inspired British dishes. He is passionate about modern British cuisine and his aim is to bring London-inspired dishes to this corner of Kent, using the best ingredients. @cornerhousekent “I find Kent a really inspiring place to cook. There is so much delicious, fresh produce on our doorstep and I’m creating dishes which make the most of what is available seasonally and locally.” The restaurant is set within three former 18th-century farm workers’ cottages, on Station Road. The Michelin Guide says: “Pass the stone bar inset with a cart wheel, and the small lounge and terrace, to the characterful dining room with its low beamed ceiling and quarry tiled floor. Classic recipes use good quality produce; the dishes for two are a hit. Bedrooms have smart feature walls and modern facilities.” But you’ll be pleased to know that the focus on offering local diners real value for money won’t change; you can still get a two-course set lunch for £12.
