Will Devlin and the team at The Small Holding are known for their fresh seasonal produce. Named as one of the best restaurants in Kent, The Small Holding at Kilndown is nestled in one acre of beautiful countryside.

That much space means they are able to run their own farm, complete with free roaming hens, geese and rare foraging pigs. Not that many restaurants can guarantee so few food miles! Check out their farm diaries here where they show you how they do it.

By growing their own produce the team are able to make sure they harvest their ingredients when they are at their prime. They also use preserving techniques so they have stock of their favourite ingredients throughout the year. All of this means they are concentrated on the natural cycle of the land and always looking to create full flavoured menus that will inspire, delight and surprise.

Whilst we can’t enjoy a good slap up meal at The Small Holding during these times if you live locally, you’re in for a treat. They’ve just started a hamper delivery service and online bottle shop! If you’ve got a loved one’s birthday coming up, or just fancy a little pick me up you’re going to be seriously impressed by their selection.

The hampers include wine, local cheeses and crackers, cured charcuterie meats, wild garlic pesto, pickled eggs and freshly baked bread with homemade butter. You can also order refills – result! Order yours here.

If you’re running low on booze you’re also covered, they’ve just launched an online shop selling everything from spirits to rose – browse here.
