Food
This area of east Kent has become something of a foodie triangle with Michelin starred restaurants and a BBC Food Programme “Market of the Year” so you are spoilt for choice if you enjoy local food and discovering new places to eat.
Breakfast
Breakfast is an important part of our -- and everyone's -- day and at 7 Longport our breakfasts are award-winning. Each morning we will bring you a luxury basket breakfast over to the Cottage for you to enjoy whenever suits you between 7.30 and 9.30 am. The menu changes regularly with three options for you to choose from, including oats, filled bagels, frittatas and pancakes. There are always buttery croissants or toast with homemade jam and marmalade, together with local apple juice from the farm next door to where we used to live. We can also offer vegetarian, vegan or gluten free choices.
If possible all our food is locally sourced, and seasonal, from the Goods Shed Farmers’ Market, local butchers, and local farms or, in season, from our allotment.
Evening meals
This part of Kent is a foodie haven and as we are so close to the city centre with over 300 places to eat and drink, we do not provide evening meals. There are 3 small local restaurants within 100m (Chinese, Thai and Moroccan) and a great local pub (The Two Sawyers) and we supply guests with a list of restaurant recommendations here in Canterbury and in the surrounding area.
There are 2 Michelin starred restaurants in nearby villages and both Whitstable (just 20 minutes drive) and Margate (35 minutes) are known for the amazing food on offer there.
Special Events
If you are visiting for a special occasion and would like a celebration cake or a special meal cooked for you, we also have an on-site chef www.justonecook.co.uk
