Ramsgate's Chapel House Estate launches The Courtyard Kitchen
The beautifully-designed outdoor kitchen brings a fresh, immersive dining experience to the estate
Chapel House Estate has announced the launch of The Courtyard Kitchen, an exciting new addition to the estate’s Glass Courtyard and on-site restaurant number nine.
Now open for bookings, the beautifully-designed outdoor kitchen brings a fresh, immersive dining experience to the estate.
Located on the outdoor terrace, The Courtyard Kitchen is an inviting and atmospheric, social space that brings people together around live-fire cooking, seasonal produce and amazing shared experiences.
The new space enhances the estate’s existing dining and event offering while remaining true to its relaxed, countryside setting.
A defining feature is its open kitchen, set beneath exposed timber beams and softly lit by hanging lights.
Guests can watch chefs at work across a bespoke barbecue grill with a fire-brick base, alongside a traditional spit roast where slow-turning meats and vegetables are cooked over open flames, filling the courtyard with rich, smoky aromas.
The experience is further elevated by the use of a Big Green Egg for hot smoking, delivering deep, wood-fired flavours, while a wood-fired pizza oven produces rustic, beautifully-charred pizzas.
The courtyard itself has been designed to feel relaxed and atmospheric with beautiful brick walls, climbing greenery and herb, vegetable and fruit planters.
Long banqueting tables and more intimate seating encourage conversation and connection under a retractable awning for all seasons.
For couples celebrating their wedding at Chapel House Estate, the introduction of The Courtyard Kitchen does not alter the way the outdoor courtyard is typically used or styled.
The space can still be laid out exactly as envisioned, maintaining the relaxed flow, elevated setting and atmosphere that couples fall in love with when choosing the estate for their celebration.
