number nine
Where great taste feels at home
Nestled next to the walled courtyard, in the heart of Kent’s Garden of England, our number nine
restaurant hosts generous feasts filled with the best seasonal, local food.
In England’s most beautiful corner, housed in a thoughtfully-converted old farm shed, this is the perfect
place where everyone’s invited to relax and savour every moment.
Feast & wine at number nine
The team’s focus is firmly on celebrating big flavours and the small touches.
Paired to our wines, our food is best served with friends and family.
Our head chef
Our Head Chef, Stephen, honed his passion for food while working alongside Norfolk farmers and growers, crafting dishes with fresh ingredients straight from the source.
At Park Farm Hotel in Norwich, with its working kitchen garden, he developed a talent for turning humble ingredients into something extraordinary.
Now, Stephen brings his refined culinary style to Chapel House Estate, guided by the philosophy of SLOW:
Seasonal
Local
Organic
Wild
Each dish is a celebration of the land and the seasons, showcasing nature’s best on every plate.

Savour the
seasons
Our Wild Apple Orchard and the 35-acres of the estate provide a welcome bounty from which we can forage. This, alongside our on-site honey supply, our homegrown fruit & veg allotment and the very best local, seasonal ingredients, means we are spoilt for choice.
