Eating
There are many great pubs and restaurants around Chilham. Here’s a gradually expanding list of recommendations, as we discover them.
Restaurants
For lovely food in an informal and rustic setting, check out The Goods Shed.
For more upmarket dining there are some great choices: The Sportsman (highly recommended), The Bridge Arms, and The Fordwych Arms all of which have Michelin stars.
The Pig is part of a small national chain of highly designed hotel/restaurants which has a big following. Expensive but good service and excellent food.
For the freshest oysters and other seafood Wheeler’s Oyster Bar is legendary (but need to book ahead).
If you are craving Asian food, Pho Canterbury is delicious.
Other
The best coffee is Garage Coffee next to Canterbury Cathedral. They also have a nice roastery cafe a few miles away.
Pub Restaurants
The Woolpack Inn has better food than most of the other local pubs, and it’s just five minutes’ walk from the cottage.
