Bore Place at Chiddingstone is close to Sevenoaks, Kent and easily accessible from London, M25, Gatwick airport and the continent. The area is rich in historic buildings and gardens: Bough Beech Nature Reserve, Hever Castle, Penshurst Place, Chiddingstone National Trust village and castle, Emmets Garden and the Greensand Way with spectacular views across the Weald all within 5 miles.
All necessary equipment is available for hire, and we offer delicious home-cooked meals (meat, vegetarian and vegan) accompanied by soft drinks, wine and beer, and fair trade tea and coffee.
Andrew Johnson is now our full time chef at Bore Place. Previously at
Glyndbourne, Andrew has been with us over the past year and is helping us to
continue and develop simple but high quality menus and to source 'sustainable'
ingredients.
We support and exceed Soil Association (and Jamie Oliver's) targets for
non-processed, organic and local food and use ingredients produced on the farm
where we can.

The Centre is based at Bore Place
on Commonwork's 500-acre organic dairy farm.
Activities to stimulate the mind, body and senses can
be arranged to fit in with your own goals and schedule. For example field trail night walk,
treefelling, claywork, breadmaking and willow basketry.
“…the food, the welcome, the place was
amazing...”, ”…butternut squash was divine…”, “…fantastic food, with great
ingredients and real flair!!”. "The food is absolutely wonderful and the
staff are without exception friendly, charming and unfailingly helpful.
This is a very special place indeed..." Clore Fellow, 2007
