Eden at Hever Castle

Eden is the intimate fine-dining restaurant at Hever Castle, under the direction of Culinary Director George Blogg MCA.

Blogg, prior to this, was well known for his long tenure as Executive Chef at Gravetye Manor, where his cooking held a Michelin star for many years. At Hever he works alongside Executive Head Chef Adam Smith, who previously spent more than six years with him at Gravetye.

Located within the private Astor Wing of the Hever Castle Estate, Eden overlooks Anne Boleyn's orchard towards the Castle. The tasting menu is seasonally led, drawing on the estate's gardens and produce from Kent and the surrounding countryside, with vegetables playing a particularly important part in Blogg's cooking.

Named after the River Eden, which runs through the estate, Eden opens in the evening, when the Castle and Gardens have closed to daytime visitors. Dinner is open to non-residents by advance reservation, offering the rather unusual prospect of dining within the Hever estate after hours, with the Castle as the backdrop.
