About

We prepare all our dishes from scratch using fresh, seasonal ingredients and proudly support local producers. From handmade cakes and patisseries to locally sourced fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, apple juice, and Kentish wines—our menu is a true celebration of quality and simplicity.

By day, we serve a stripped-back café menu. By night (Wednesday to Saturday), we offer a full dining experience with starters, mains, and desserts.
Evening bookings are highly recommended—tables are rarely turned, and we invite you to spend a leisurely three hours soaking up the atmosphere. Ulric – Chef-Patron

 

Mason Frederic is now open just around the corner!
Offering a refined, modern French à la carte menu, Mason Frederic is open for lunch and dinner, Wednesday to Saturday. Come and discover a new take on French dining.
