THE FERRY HOUSE - Key Persons
Just around the corner from The Ferry House is the 11th century early Norman Church of St. Thomas the Apostle. Often described as Kent's remotest place of worship, the grade two listed church is well worth a visit.
The church is open every day on a 9am-5pm basis and a service is held on the first Sunday of each month.
Head Chef James shares the Burden passion for our home grown, family-farmed & locally sourced produce & has an aspirational vision for our AA Rosette restaurant. "As a chef, The Ferry House is a special place - the farm, the garden, the estate, the local suppliers, now new things like the butchery - those are all things that few places have any of, let alone all of them. This is a place that supports my ideas & allows me free reign to develop a style of my own". James Pilcher.
Natalie's green fingers - along with her gardening team - keep The Ferry House well supplied year round with an abundance of fresh fruit, veggies, herbs & botanicals. Working closely with the chefs, her vision, knowledge & passion is fundamental to our unique food ethos. Growing everything from seeds & cuttings, favouring heirloom varieties not easily found in shops & creating wonderful biodiversity, Natalie has unique vision for the Kitchen Garden.
