LOCAL RESTAURANT PUTS MINSTER ON THE
GASTRONOMIC MAP
Matt Sworder (seated) at The Corner House

It only opened a year ago, but The
Corner House has been listed in
both the 2015 Michelin Guide and
the 2015 Waitrose Good Food
Guide, putting the historic little
village of Minster firmly on the East
Kent gastronomic map.
Young chef and patron, Matt
Sworder, is already making a name
for his seasonally inspired British
dishes. He is passionate about
modern British cuisine and his aim
is to bring London-inspired dishes
to this corner of Kent, using the
best ingredients.
“I find Kent a really inspiring place
to cook. There is so much delicious,
fresh produce on our doorstep and
I’m creating dishes which make
the most of what is available
seasonally and locally.”

The restaurant is set within three
former 18th-century farm workers’
cottages, on Station Road.

The Corner House’s Pre-Christmas Menu
There’s no better place to have your Christmas celebration than at
The Corner House, where the 18th-century building provides the
perfect venue. Relax by the log fire in the bar and enjoy a restaurant
where all of the food is homemade including the bread and the ice
creams!
3 Courses: £25 Lunch / £27 Dinner
Choose from a variety of starters, mains and desserts including
Kentish Anno gin-cured salmon, lamb shoulder with dauphinoise
potatoes, and lemon posset with homemade fennel biscotti.

The Michelin Guide says:
“Pass the stone bar inset with a
cart wheel, and the small lounge
and terrace, to the characterful
dining room with its low beamed
ceiling and quarry tiled floor Classic
.
recipes use good quality produce;
the dishes for two are a hit.
Bedrooms have smart feature walls
and modern facilities.”

But you’ll be pleased to know that
the focus on offering local diners
real value for money won’t change;
you can still get a two-course set
lunch for £12.
