Two restaurants of note are owned and operated by Will Devlin, 2020’s ‘Chef To Watch’ from The Good Food Guide – The Curlew and The Small Holding, are located 8 miles apart. The Small Holding is in Kilndown on the Kent/Sussex border and The Curlew is in Bodiam, E. Sussex. The Small Holding has an acre of land and they provide ‘farm to fork eating’ for both venues without being too pretentious.

The Small Holding has a tasting menu rather than the free to choose menu of the Curlew. Set in an acre of land it also has ‘a unique connection between farm and table’. The Michelin Guide have awarded them a green star for ‘gastronomy and sustainability’ and they’ve also won 2 AA Rosettes. The tasting menu changes daily and looks pretty and again Grace Dent says they provide ‘self-sustaining, fun fine-dining’. She rates them 9/10 as ‘They’re just a group of folk growing amazing things, then pulling them out of the ground, sometimes knobbly and lumpy, then cooking and serving them. It’s perfectly imperfect’.

In order to gain access via the main entrance, there is a small step from the slope to the decking area. There is also a step between the restaurant and bar area.

We do not have a separate disabled toilet but our toilets are accessible.’ So again they can only get a provisional 2 BBS Ticks
