The iconic Fort Road Hotel in Margate has been lovingly restored by the owners of Frieze and will be reopening in August this year. Our menus will be inspired by the great female chefs and cookery writers of the past, such as Jane Grigson and Elizabeth David, and we’ll be working with some wonderful local suppliers and producers to showcase the best of what Kent has to offer. Simplicity, seasonality and locality will be at the heart of everything we do. Throughout the year, the kitchen will host a series of chef residencies, collaborations and workshops with local foragers and micro-producers.
