The Small Holding
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Rustic setting and remarkable dining."
Overview
In a sleepy village in the backwoods of Kent, The Small Holding benefits from its productive one-acre namesake. The feel is relaxing and rustic, with a terrace that’s just the ticket in nice weather. The tables and floor are of chunky wood with mismatched seats and farm implements on the walls. The food here is all about seasonality and honest flavours from ingredients garnered from their own farm and small Kent and Sussex producers.
