Where to eat

You can stop dreaming of a café that proudly sources from its regional backyard, for here it is in a modern interior in rural Wingham. The antipasto’s great, but if you don’t feel like sharing, the locally smoked ham and Swiss cheese baguette is another good choice. Finish with banana bread, yoghurt and red Belly Gourmet rhubarb compote. Many ingredients can be purchased (see Where to Shop)
