Sizzling summer nights

If Kent’s most talked-about jazz group wasn’t enough to get you pencilling this event into your diary, a little alfresco dining overlooking 36 acres of beautiful gardens certainly will. Upon arrival, ticket holders will be greeted with a glass of Pimm’s before heading over to their table on the terrace.

After sipping on the fruity favourite and soaking up some sunshine, a BBQ feast will be served sharing-style as Café Society begin to dive into their catalogue of soulful favourites.

Diners will be able to indulge to their hearts content and enjoy an array of juicy, chargrilled meats, and flavoursome sides including a Mediterranean salad, Kohlrabi slaw and Cajun fries.

Don’t forget to make room for dessert – a whole assortment of treats is on offer! Between sticky toffee pudding, chocolate brownie, and pineapple parfait, there’s a little of everything.
