Capturing the Essence of Eastwell Manor Champneys: A Kent Photographer’s Dream with the New Gardenia Restaurant

Nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside, Eastwell Manor Champneys is a place where history meets modern luxury. As a Kent photographer, there’s nothing quite like the charm and elegance of this beautiful historical space and in particular being asked to photograph there - I mean I’ve always wanted to explore the corners of this magical space! 

From the stunning windows, stone and decor to the breathtaking grounds, Eastwell Manor offers endless ops for a photographer that’s for sure - so I was set to have a ball from the get-go! It all became reality when I was asked to photograph the newly launched Gardenia Restaurant, and menu. 

The Gardenia Restaurant has had a real refresh and the new menu feels like a real breath of fresh air. The space is full of elegant charm and the windows provide the most beautiful natural light! And what visual feast the new menu is - the dishes are beautifully presented, with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and each plate really felt like a work of art, bursting with colour and flavour - ohh yes I got to try a few dishes!

No visit would be complete without indulging in some of their signature new cocktails and of course their renowned afternoon tea - it would be criminal! Here are some gems that I found.
