A Meal With A View
Unroll your blanket or pull up at a table in the meadow just a few steps from the visitor centre to enjoy your picnic.
From here you can see across to the village of Ide Hill, with its traditional buildings and churches. Emmetts Garden stands on one of the highest points in Kent so far reaching views are to be found all over.
Pack a picnic
The Emmetts Garden Tea Room is currently closed while we operate on reduced staff levels but we invite all our visitors to pack a picnic and enjoy their refreshments at Emmetts Garden.
Alternatively the cafe at nearby Chartwell in Westerham is open, serving takeaway baguettes, crisps, cakes, bakes and ice creams. You won't need to book a ticket just to visit the cafe so you'd be welcome to stock up there before you make your way to Emmetts Garden for your prebooked arrival.
A walking picnic
If you enjoy walking, the circular Weardale Walk runs from Emmetts Garden to Chartwell. If you have booked an early arrival to Emmetts Garden you could make your way along the Weardale Walk to the Chartwell cafe and then enjoy your picnic in the Kent countryside on the way back to Emmetts Garden.
Please allow plenty of time for the 5 mile walk, Emmetts Garden closes at 5pm.
Walkers to Chartwell don't need to prebook to visit the cafe but will require a ticket to see the gardens.
