Garden Restaurant & Bar, The

Set in tranquil surroundings, overlooking the landscaped gardens and raised sun terraces, the Garden restaurant at The Russell Hotel is an ideal setting for a leisurely breakfast or romantic evening meal. Visitors can tour the globally renowned Bluewater retail centre, the motor sports centre at Brands Hatch and  Leeds Castle and return to relish international cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere.

Start with an oven roast breast of woodpigeon served on sauté wild mushrooms and glazed with a port reduction and pan-fried tiger prawns with sweet chilli dressing served on a bed of mixed leaf salad. To follow try the roast fillet of pork on a bed of cream mashed potatoes with Dijon mustard and white wine cream sauce and butternut squash risotto finished with fresh basil oil and fried herbs. A homemade sticky toffee pudding topped with warm butterscotch sauce and ice cream should round off the meal on a sweet note.
