Providing a central location for your customers is an advantage however making the whole dining experience a culinary voyage is imperative. The restaurant, only 15 minutes away by train from the capital; is located in an elegant building in the centre of a picturesque and quintessentially English Kent village in the town of Locksbottom.
Chapter One has a modern & stylish interior with chocolate brown chairs and luxurious silk red lampshades, which gives an air of utter sophistication. The wine list had one of the largest choices I’ve seen for some time with an ideal balance between affordable quality wines to a prestigious collection of bottles from the restaurant cellar. Head Chef Andrew McLeish’s expertise and previous experience from stylish and luxurious hotel dining at “The Ritz” and “The Dining Room at the Landmark” in London reflects in the quality of dishes and the presentation of his plates come out of the kitchen like works of art.
The menu was a true temptation with so many options to choose from however with the helpful waiter we settled for a smoked salmon raviolo and the “special” of gnocchi with fresh green peas, cream and grilled langoustine. Both dishes had an amazing delicate flavour; the raviolo filled with poached salmon was a sublime match to the delicate egg pasta wrapped around it and was implemented by the creamy dill sauce. The other starter was a winner too presented with two small langoustines cleaned of their shells, grilled on skewers and a short tumbler glass filled with gnocchi, peas and cream. The combination was explosive and the dish definitely topped my favourite of all times with its unique taste and delicate combination of aromas.
The mains of roast wild halibut and organic locally sourced slow roasted pork belly arrived shortly after a break. Both dishes were of prime quality with great detail to their presentation and texture combinations. The slow roasted belly was incredibly tender but not too fatty and thanks to the caramelised onions, apple puree and leeks the dish was wholesome with an elegant and subtle sweet aftertaste.
Having had such an amazing culinary treat we could no possibly leave Chapter One without trying one of their famously acclaimed “Assiette of Desserts”. Each dessert of the menu was presented to us on a big square plate and there in front of us we had small portions of organic Lemon tart, Pave' of Valrhona Chocolate with honey comb and caramelized pear puree, Peach Melba with vanilla ice cream, fruits Cheese Cake, Hot Chocolate Fondant with ice cream and Mille-feuille. Each taste was of incredible intensity and magnificent flavour. The dish was served with a glass of Castelnau de Suduiraut 2003 Sauternes which thanks to its sweet and honey tones was enhancing the texture and aromas of each of the delicacies in front of us.
At the end of the meal we were truly content and serene thanks to this remarkable experience of the senses; we tried amazing flavour combinations, chose from the most elegant selection of wines and received an outstanding service. Without a doubt it has been a unique feast worthy of the highest of stars and accolades in the UK.

The only surviving 19th century operating theatre. Tucked cosily into the roof of a church, the museum that surrounds it gives you a wonderful insight into the history of London...
