Read’s Restaurant with Rooms is set in an elegant Georgian manor house surrounded by tranquil grounds with lawns shaded by lofty cedar, weeping willow and horse chestnut trees. Each of the six charming bedrooms are traditional with their own unique style and character designed for comfort and elegance. The restaurant’s widespread reputation is founded on the distinctive cooking of chef David Pitchford, whose seasonal dishes blend herbs and vegetables from the manor’s own walled kitchen garden with local game and fish fresh from the quayside at nearby Whitstable and Hythe. To complement the food, an extensive wine list balances European classics with an imaginative selection from the New World.

The manor house sits in its’ own mature gardens with a fabulous walled kitchen garden. The six bedrooms are located on the first floor while the ground floor features two intimate dining rooms, the drawing room and breakfast room. The style throughout Read’s is comforting and traditional featuring period finishes such as antique furnishings, floral curtains, brass wall lights and a peaceful colour scheme.

A small bar in the drawing room serves cocktails with nibbles, best enjoyed on the sunny patio awash with potted herbs and flowers. Thoughtful touches include a large bowl of freshly-picked cherries by the front door and toothpicks in the lavatories.

The large, airy and immaculate bedrooms are named after the trees they look onto (Willow, Chestnut, Cedar, Lime, Laurel and Wisteria). Like the rest of the building, the rooms have a very traditional feel and feature a sofa, chair, old-fashioned radio, luxury toiletries and fluffy robes. A shared pantry is stocked with teas, coffee, home-baked shortbread and an honesty bar.

Only 23 miles from The Open at Royal St George’s Golf Club (Sandwich), 10 miles from Canterbury and 48 miles from London, Read’s offers a great accommodation option within the small and quaint market town of Faversham.
