I know that we normally swap holiday ideas etc, but I wanted to share with you all a great restaurant we went to today for lunch.

It is the new restaurant at Chapel Down Vineyard, near Tenterden in Kent. The chef/owner is Richard Phillips and the restaurant is called the same.

If you live nearby or are in the area, the vineyard itself is a nice place to visit even if you are not having a meal. There is a nice fine food & wine shop, tasting sessions, vineyard trails and picnic tables. Also loads of parking and easy to find.

We booked a table for lunch to celebrate my OH's new job. The decor is really nice and modern, lots of trendy glasses and plates etc.

The food was very good although there is a little room for improvement. The sewrvice was also good but a little slow at times.

I would really recommend a visit to this restaurant. Here is a link to the web site.
