Boys Hall join the esteemed Michelin Guide in their first year of business.

The Michelin guide has added 12 new establishments this August, with Boys Hall being named among the inspectors’ new favourites, highlighted for its eye-catching design and brilliant wine list. Set within a gorgeous Grade-II listed manor house, the restaurant has already made quite the name for itself after opening in September 2022, following an extensive three year renovation.

Husband and wife team, Bradley and Kristie have painstakingly restored the house to its former glory with the help of family, friends and a variety of local specialists. Bradley was the former operations director of East London Pub Co, and Kristie is the founder of Drink, Shop & Do as well as Keystone Crescent members club in London’s King’s Cross. The couple departed the capital in 2019 and on finding the hall, a mere 35 minute train ride from London, set about using their combined wealth of experience to create the ‘getaway destination of their dreams’ which is now open to the public.

Boys Hall said: “We’re thrilled to have recently been included in the Michelin Food Guide for serving up delicious, Kentish delights and we’re super proud of our kitchen team - well done.”  

The 70 cover restaurant is housed in a capacious new beamed dining room, constructed with local oak that was cut and shaped to size on site with a local carpenter and features a stunning open fire place. With glass walls on both sides, every guest can enjoy views over the stunning gardens and terraces.

 “At our hearts we are hosts; we tell stories and share our passion, we delight in our experiences and hearing those of others. We can’t wait to welcome you in to have the best seat by the fire, try our wines and while away the hours.”

The team have created delicious menus centred around seasonal, local produce from the Garden of England with daily changing dishes taking influence from home-cooked favourites, elevated to new standards. Since opening, Brad & Kristie have since implemented a kitchen garden and produce their own honey from two beehives. Furthermore, they are huge advocates for Kent Wine – so much so that they produce their own variety with Penstock Winery - a traditional method sparkling and a rose and they showcase a further 10 local vineyards on their winelist.

The restaurant opened to the public in September, and 7 stunning bedrooms opened on Jan 18th, with 2 further bedrooms revealed in July 2023.
