The Corner House

The Corner House is an independent restaurant with rooms located in the
historic village of Minster in Kent.
Chef/Owner 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.
2015 was a big year for The Corner House in Minster; it was crowned Kent
Restaurant of the Year 2015 at The Taste of Kent Awards as well as a listing in
the Michelin Guide and the Good Food Guide, putting the historic little village of
Minster firmly on the East Kent gastronomic map.
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.
“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 £13.
