Small Hythe, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

Former Gusbourne CEO Ben Walgate’s impressive farmhouse winery sits on a sweeping 70-acre estate, incorporating casual wood-fired pizza joint the ‘Dutch Barn’ and this “delightful dining room with views back to Rye”, where you pick between a two- or three-course lunch on Friday and Saturday, or tackle a five-course tasting menu by night. Zero-waste pioneer Brendan Eades of Silo fame oversees the Green Michelin Star field-to-fork cooking, which is “not fussy but simply super-tasty” (“wow…eaten with them three times in the last few months” and “every time it’s different”). They also have “very comfortable rooms” on site and you can do a “very enjoyable” wine tour and tasting too.
