Karen is the Patron of The Mulberry and in their own words this is how they see themsleves. And in my view its pretty accurate.
"The Mulberry Tree is a contemporary country restaurant and bar with a relaxed, informal atmosphere, excellent food, wine and service. It is set in the beautiful Kent countryside, only 4 miles from Staplehurst and has been extended and modernised to offer a restaurant and bar seating 75. There is also a sunny terrace and garden for al fresco dining. The restaurant won Kent Restaurant of the Year in 2009, was voted the South East Regional Restaurant of the Year, Good Food Guide 2010, is listed as 74th in the top 100 UK Restaurants in Eat Out Magazine, is featured in the 2009 Michelin Guide and has been awarded two AA Rosettes.
The cuisine style is 'modern British & European' using seasonal, free-range and organic produce that is sourced from local suppliers from within The Weald of Kent, in what really is The Garden of England. We are proud to be a member of Produced in Kent that champions and develops the Kent identity of local products. The philosophy is to offer value for money, using only the best ingredients.
There is an extensive wine list that includes many New World wines from smaller vineyards, together with the more well-known names, including English wines. Many of the wines are served by the glass and there is a full selection of beers, both draught and bottled available, together with locally sourced, organic soft drinks."
