Saltwood on the Green
It’s the question we all ask ourselves when we sit down at any restaurant...
What do I fancy? What things on the menu really grab my attention?
When you realise that the answer is ‘everything’, you know you’re somewhere
pretty special.

Now longer the “new kid on the block”, Saltwood on the Green is hitting its
stride garnering critical accolades from professionals and customers alike. It sits
comfortably in the heart of the village that gave it its name. The large picture
windows and warm and friendly atmosphere of a casual but intimate dining
room is the perfect backdrop for food that is both inspiring and comforting.
Don’t be fooled by the apparent simplicity of an understated menu: This is high
quality cooking rarely found outside of London’s superstar restaurants. Locally
sourced ingredients take centre stage as owner and chef Jeff Kipp introduces
just enough culinary fireworks to serve up mouthwatering new takes on old
favourites. The regularly changing menu reflects the opportunities seasonal
ingredients provide so regulars are given new choices to experience. (Check our
website for the most up to date menus.)

Even the cocktails, not to mention an extensive G&T menu, are refreshingly
different (they make their own tonic) and they are served, as is the food, with a
genuine smile and unfussy efficiency.
While soft pretzels with rarebit spread from the ‘Nibbles’ section or dark
chocolate cherry and tonka bean from the desserts list, show there are inventive
minds at work, the kitchen never strays into flashiness or overindulgence.
This is real food for real people, with the focus firmly on superb produce and
outstanding flavours and taste combinations.
The menu is structured to fit around you – light bites offer great value from only
£7, whilst you can take advantage of our lunch offers of 2 courses at £15 or 3 for
£18 if you are looking for a set price menu.
If you’ve not been, treat yourself. If you’re already a regular, spread the word.
Kent deserves more restaurants like this.
