What's On - Heart of Kent Walking Fest - Food & Drink

When you have been out in the fresh air and particularly when you have been active then finding something delicious to eat or drink is a that not only feeds you body but your soul as well.

Kent as the Garden of England, at the heart of this event offers one the best choices of delicious local produce to be found anywhere in the UK.  Fresh ingredients can be found everywhere not only on your plate but growing in the fields.  Sometimes you will pass then on your walks!

There are a host of wonderful places to stay which offer local food menu’s as well as lots of very good cafés and restaurants.  Some of our pubs offer great food and great walks close by and if you feel that you would like to take some of the goodness home with you then a farm shop is just the place.

When it comes to drinks, Kent has an ancient and famous brewing industry and a few well known brews can be found such as Shepherd Neame’s Spitfire, but for the adventurous there are lots of great micro-breweries to be found and many of the pubs stock a variety of these as well.

A rather more modern industry in Kent has been the introduction of grapes and the production of wine over the last 50 years.  We are now producing world class wine and at least one of the walks takes you amongst the vines.  There are some excellent walks around vineyards locally as well.  There is a lot to discover.

With the orchards, there comes cider production, well worth a taste and there is plenty of choice in Kent. 

Have a look through this list below and see what you fancy to eat.
