Gallery Menu at The Savoy

 

Our talented chefs have been hard at work devising irresistible dishes for our new restaurant opening, Gallery. Dishes harmoniously blend tradition with innovation, so expect the likes of Rhug Estate Beef Carpaccio and Escoffier’s Sole Tacos. If you’re after something comforting and indulgent, the Chicken Tikka Pie will hit the spot, but be sure to save room for dessert! You don’t want to miss out on The Savoy’s signature ice cream sundae, where you can choose your own ice-cream flavours, toppings, and sauces.

 

 

With the opening of Scoff, The Savoy’s brand new scone shop, you can now take a piece of The Savoy home with you. No matter whether you say scone or ‘sc-own’ or if you have jam or cream first, Scoff will be different to anything you’ve tasted before. Chef Nicolas and his team have created a lavish range that are bound to surprise and delight. We’re talking Salted Caramel and Popcorn, Lemon Drizzle, and Tiramisu, to name a few.

For the ultimate Savoy experience, combine your Scoff sweet treats with flowers from our new boutique shop, The Florist at The Savoy. Handcrafted by Belinda and her talented team, Savoy bouquets bring a seasonal touch of glamour to any room. However, flowers aren’t the only thing you will find at The Florist. Visit during the festive season to get bespoke Savoy goodies like our very own Advent Calendar, stunning Christmas wreath, or velvet Savoy stocking.

Oh my gosh! I hardly know where to begin. Everything about the County Clare & County Kerry trip was amazing. Our guide, Declan, was awesome. His knowledge of the area was brilliant, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Each place we visited was magical in it's own way. The hikes were perfect. The lodgings were great. The food was delicious & so fresh. I really didn't want the trip to end. Thank you for this beautiful experience. I'm looking forward to more!

Helping wildlife in the Darent Valley

 

 

Great news - we are proud to fund North West Kent Countryside Partnership's new project 'All the Small Things'. The project will focus on creating habitats for invertebrates and small mammals that bats and owls feed on, as well as new roosting and nesting opportunities too. Additionally, the funding enables volunteer training, including wildlife monitoring and collecting owl pellets for the Mammal Society's ‘Searching for Shrews’ project.
 

Funding provided through the Farming in Protected Landscapes programme from Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Kent Downs National Landscape (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

Exploring the Darent Valley's Roman legacy

The Kent Downs has an outstanding heritage spanning across thousands of years. The Darent Valley has an interesting Roman legacy and most recently Kent Downs' Archaeologist, Dr. Anne Sassin, took the stage at the Kent Archaeological Society Research Group Conference 2024, to share fascinating insights from recent archaeological work in the area.

Anne presented findings from the Darent Valley Landscape Partnership, focusing on new discoveries at Lullingstone Roman Villa. While extensively excavated in the 1950s, recent community-led investigations have revealed intriguing evidence of continued agricultural use and hints at a larger ritual landscape in the unexcavated granary area and chalk slopes above the villa. Anne also explored the possibility of redating Lullingstone and its significance as a local production centre, offering an exciting new perspective on the villa’s historical role in the region. 

You can take a walk through history on the Darent Valley Rail Trails - River and Ruins and explore Lullingstone Villa for yourself. This 9-mile walk, from Farningham to Eynsford, celebrates the impressive heritage of this area and is not to be missed.
