The Abergavenny Arms gastropub in Frant near Tunbridge Wells has recruited head chef Katie Burke from CAU, the town’s Argentine-inspired steakhouse, who has wasted no time in beefing up the menu.
Katie butchers her own prime Angus and Dexter steaks, which have been aged for a minimum of 38-day, and plans to introduce nose-to-tail dining, buying in whole sides of beef.
A former 15th century coaching inn, the imposing Abergavenny Arms is located on Kent/East Sussex border outside Tunbridge Wells on the A267 – set amid stunning wooded with sweeping vistas of High Weald.
Under new management, the food-fed pub is earning a reputation for its cooking and warm welcome. There is ample parking, three dining areas, a long L-shaped bar plus alfresco seating for 50 customers on the split-level decked terrace. The bar features comfy sofas and cozy log fire.
