Your Michelin Guide Night Out

Struggling on where to go for your anniversary dinner? Maybe you want to find that perfect place to celebrate your 30^th? Or maybe you just need a night to yourself and some fantastic food.

Two local Kent restaurants are new additions to the famous Michelin guide, marking them some of the hottest places to dine in Kent right now.

The Rose Inn, near Canterbury and Quince in Westgate-on-Sea join a list of around only 30 restaurants in Kent that are on the Michelin guide or have Michelin stars.

Dating back to the early 1920s, the Michelin guide offers a list of carefully selected restaurants where inspectors have discovered amazing food, to help people choose where to dine for an exquisite experience.

Kent local, Billy Stock, chef-owner of the Rose Inn spoke with Kent Online about featuring in the guide and said “We’ve been recommended because of what we do, so obviously what we’re doing in their minds is a good thing, and that’s the standard we’ll continue to hold ourselves to”

The Rose Inn offers classic British food at reasonable prices in a beautiful setting, and it’s only a 15-minute drive from central Canterbury!

Closer to the seaside, and only a five-minute drive from our Birchington Wards branch is Quince, co-owned by Rafael Lopez and Ben Hughes which has also made the Michelin Guide. With both being alumni from Michelin Guide favourite The Goods Shed, Lopez marked their first duo launch in May 2022 with Quince.

The two restaurants join 30 of Kent’s finest dining establishments like Bridge Arms in Canterbury, The Sportsman in Whitstable and Hide and Fox in Hythe!
