A new garden and nature-focused restaurant has opened in Chipperfield.

The Garden Kitchen Restaurant at Wyevale Garden Centre has launched and will offer a sociable meet-up area for visitors to take the weight off their feet after a spot of shopping.

Dishes will include roast carvery sandwiches, homemade soups and seasonally inspired recipes.

Nick Barron, garden centre manager, said: “The Garden Kitchen Restaurant is a wonderful addition for us.

“As a garden centre we have the utmost respect for fresh, seasonal ingredients and our new menu and new look restaurant is a natural development for Wyevale Garden Centres, giving us the opportunity to celebrate our link with the garden and nature and share that with our customers.

“We know that they are always looking for fresh food cooked with great British ingredients and we look forward to surprising them throughout the year with our changing menu and delicious dishes.”
