Respects the soil
”We are just a small case study about what you can do in an acre”, claim the brothers behind The Small Holding. So – what can you really achieve in an acre, surrounding an old, transformed pub in Kent? Well, for one thing, you can make your guests forget about the city’s hustle and bustle. This is the place if you wish to lose yourself for a while, thanks to exceptional service and a fun yet well-balanced menu, based on the farm’s own produce and brought to life through low-intervention, regenerative methods.
Sustainability highlights
- Only reusable crates for deliveries
- No cling film, no vacuum bags
- A relatively large proportion of the wines come from the UK — and all sparkling wines are also domestic
- Field trips with chefs every three months
- An open and communicative workplace
