The Crown @ Otford
At the Crown home cooked quality food is important to us. That is why we use only the freshest of ingredients to create our meals. We endeavor to source all our products locally, using local butchers – P. W. Copus and the local Vegetable supplier Gordon from M&G green grocery, Maws Fine Foods of Hawkhurst provide us with our continental & specialty foods . This reduces the food miles of our ingredients as well as supports local businesses.
Our carbon footprint is also important to us. We recycle all the oil in the kitchen, by filtering it and using it to run our car, we also recycle all our cardboard and all vegetable peelings are used to fertilize the garden.
Whether it’s a cozy meal for two a family outing or entertaining for business or private parties we can accommodate all your needs. We hope you enjoy your meal.
At the Crown we aim to please so if you have any special requirements please ask a member of staff and we will endeavor to meet them.
