Food and Drink
Tenterden offers a vast array of places to eat and drink - what ever kind of food and drink and atmosphere you prefer, you will be happily surprised by the choices on offer.

Located in the heart of the Garden of England, Tenterden restaurants and cafes embrace the fresh local Kentish produce available to produce a wide range of cuisines from traditional English to Italian, Thai, Chinese and Indian dishes.

Tenterden is home to a large concentration of food and drink producers and to celebrate it affiliation with food, the town held an inaugural Food Festival at the end of 2007. A variety of food related events were held over the three-day festival including a talk from celebrity chef, Mary Berry, a Junior Master Chef Competition using only local produce, plus many food and drink tasting sessions with industry experts. The second Tenterden Food Festival is planned for November 2008
