Hush Heath Estate in Kent, one of the top premium wine producers in England and a hospitality business born out of the winery in Staplehurst, Kent, is championing the best suppliers of food in the county at the company's local pubs.

Located in West Farleigh, The Tickled Trout is the newest addition to the Hush Heath Estate group having opened its doors in December 2015. 

With six boutique hotel rooms and a restaurant that supports local Kent producers, the dining area also features a fresh 'Oysters on Ice' bar where guests can eat or drink in a relaxed and sophisticated environment.  Most recently the modern and stylish pub celebrated its first year with updated menus from chef Fabio Vinciguerra, highlighting that the business only works with local food suppliers who can offer an abundance of beautiful, wholesome produce.  Based at The Tickled Trout, Fabio has refreshed the pub restaurant's offering so that alongside traditional pub favourites and elegant classics, there is a focus on British seafood with Italian influences. 

The Tickled Trout is famous for its outdoor space, and in time for Spring, Fabio and his team will  ensure that the barbecue is a regular feature while putting the heated terrace to good use.

The Tickled Trout, like the family-owned company's other Kent establishment, The Goudhurst Inn, provides a warm welcome for guests who have worked up an appetite while touring Hush Heath Estate's immaculate vineyards and state-of-the-art winery, and each venue provides the best in English hospitality for those seeking a staycation in Kent.
