SALTWOOD ON THE GREEN
It ’ s the question we all ask ourselves when we sit down at any restaurant ... What do I fancy ? What things on the menu really grab my attention ?
When you realise that the answer is ‘ everything ’, you know you ’ re somewhere pretty special .
Welcome to Saltwood on the Green , where this must be a regular experience for its many fans and customers sampling breakfast , lunch or dinner .
Still a relative newcomer to the Kent dining scene ( it only opened in April this year ), Saltwood on the Green sits squarely but quietly in the heart of the village that gave it its name . The large picture windows and warm and friendly atmosphere of a casual but intimate dining room is the perfect backdrop for food that is both inspiring and comforting .
Don ’ t be fooled by the apparent simplicity of an understated menu ; this is high quality cooking rarely found outside of London ’ s superstar restaurants . Locally sourced ingredients take centre stage as owner and Chef Jeff Kipp introduces just enough culinary fireworks to serve up mouthwatering new takes on old
favourites . The regularly changing menu reflects the opportunities seasonal ingredients provide so regulars are given new choices to experience ( check our website for the most up to date menus ).
Even the cocktails , not to mention an extensive G & T menu , are refreshingly different ( they make their own tonic ) and they are served , as is the food , with a genuine smile and unfussy efficiency .
While Soft Pretzels with Rarebit Spread from the ‘ Nibbles ’ section or Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pie from the Desserts list , show there are inventive minds at work , the kitchen never strays into flashiness or overindulgence . This is real food for real people , with the focus firmly on superb produce and outstanding flavours and taste combinations .
If you ’ ve not been , treat yourself . If you ’ re already a regular , spread the word . Kent deserves more restaurants like this .
