Goody Ales' Good Health
was voted Best Kentish Beer
at the 2015 Taste of Kent
Awards, and this honey
coloured, fresh and zesty
drink with an undertone of
orange sets the benchmark
for the numerous other
superb ales and beers that are produced here. Options include Good Life
(pale and tasting of citrus), Good Heavens (made with Pilgrim hops), and
Good Evening (a chocolaty darker ale). This is Kent in a bottle.

Since it began in 1977, Chapel Down has become the largest UK producer
of wine – and the winery has a capacity of one million litres! Using grapes
from both its own vineyard and its partners across the South East, the
wines produced are vibrant and exciting, and Kent is proud to have them.

Staplehurst
Kentish Cheeses, where
unforgettable Kentish Blue and
Kentish Bluebell cheeses are
created, is a small, family-run
dairy that produces awardwinning – all handmade –
cheeses. The milk for the cheeses
comes from the owners very own
dairy cows; nothing could be
fresher or better than that.

Using only English ingredients, Garden of England Foods creates the most
marvellous pickles, chutneys, compotes, and condiments. Cucumber relish,
sweet pickle, gooseberry compote, Bramley apple sauce, redcurrant jelly,
and rhubarb chutney are just some of the distinctly Kentish items it produces.
