Mulberry Tree, The

The modern building comes as a bolt from the blue, after a torturous drive through a rural yet serene Kent countryside to reach The Mulberry Tree. The restaurant interior presents a contemporary characteristic with prominent wallpapers pleasingly complementing the wooden floorboards, huge tables, art deco lampshades and paintings. Also, giving the décor an extra touch is the 'specials of the day' written on a large mirror. For a pleasant al fresco meal, there's plenty of seating on the terrace and in the garden area.

Keeping the focus on using fresh ingredients in its cooking, Mulberry Tree utilizes the land surrounding it. A kitchen garden has been developed to grow fruits, vegetables and herbs, alongside a small herd of Middle White pigs.

Expect to see dishes such as cod cheeks risotto, roast Scottish halibut and pan fried hake on a seasonally changing menu. A milk chocolate delice topped with cherries and vanilla ice cream paired with a Marmesa Dessert Pinot Noir make for an excellent finish to an enjoyable meal at The Mulberry Tree.
