Apicius

I have been to this restaurant 3 or 4 times. On each occasion it has been excellent. I believe it has a Michelin star and is certainly a worthy restaurant. Too be frank I feel the skills of the chef are vastly better than the skills of the restaurant manager. That’s not to say the lady restaurant manager is not good, but she is not the best people person I fear? The chef however is excellent. I always look at what i’m paying and how that meets up with what’s on my plate. I like modern, well cooked food, food that’s had some skill and effort put in to it. The food at Apicius is clearly produced by a chef who has learned his way around a chopping board, he’s served his time, and he knows what he’s doing. I might mention that I feel the prices are very (very) modest indeed. All in all excellent.

Michelin Star restaurant run by a couple, he cooks and she runs front of house. Simple, clean and fresh dining environment.
The menu is seasonal and simply amazing. Fantastic flavours leap out from every dish and the presentation is superb. I would probably enthuse too much about this place … so I’ll stop here.
Finally a quick word about prices — there aren’t many places you get this quality of cuisine, a good bottle of wine and can still stay well within £50/​head.
It may be well out of the way for a Londoner, but if you fancy a day in the Kent countryside, this alone would make it worth your while.
