Our Menus

Our menus are subject to change according to seasonal produce. Our tasting menus place plant-based cuisine at the forefront, while allowing each guest to tailor their experience by choosing dishes featuring vegetarian, fish, shellfish or meat ingredients.

With advanced notice, we proudly cater for a wide variety of dietary requirements without compromising on quality or creativity. By thoughtfully refining each dish, our chefs achieve perfect balance and harmony of flavour, enabling every guest to enjoy a truly personalised tasting menu.

Vegetarian, pescatarian and plant-based tasting menus are also available.

Inspired By Our Surroundings

Rooted in the surrounding landscape, our menu evolves with the seasons, showcasing locally sourced ingredients. Where plant-based elements sit naturally alongside exceptional produce. Light and elegant yet generous in flavour, each dish is thoughtfully crafted, allowing incredible ingredients to speak for themselves.

The setting mirrors the food. Designed with understated elegance, the restaurant balances warmth with refinement. Natural textures, soft light and subtle reflections create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and open. Large windows frame Hever Castle and the surrounding orchard, while the gentle flow of the River Eden through the grounds brings a quiet rhythm to the experience.

Delicious, beautifully presented food delivered by friendly service team and young chefs representing the kitchen as well as George Blogg.

Exquisite taster menu at their new venture, the Eden Restaurant. Exclusive dining, inspired dishes incorporating produce from the gardens and locally sourced. Expensive but unique. The best tasting menu in years. Outstanding service. Amazing experience.

Elizabeth Merrells, June 2026

I booked a table at Eden with no expectation other than a vague idea that it was quite expensive. Well, the food was exceptional, among the best I have tasted, and each course looked stunning. At first I felt the food was robustly flavoured, but the courses developed into delicious, nuanced, textured dishes I shall remember for a long time. Highly skilled cooking at it’s best. I was looking forward to sitting with a lovely view of the illuminated Hever Castle. I don’t think I noticed the castle. The food was the star of the show.

I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Eden. The tasting menu was absolutely delicious and the classic wine flight perfectly partnered the dishes served. I was particularly please to see some English wines featured on the list. The menu was so imaginative & so beautifully presented. I was dining alone and at no point did I feel ‘alone’. Special thanks to Matthew the sommelier for keeping me entertained and increasing my wine knowledge. I have already started recommending Eden to my friends. It was an excellent evening.
