On my way to the Hampton Court Foodies Festival (watch this space), I made a stop off in Kent and enjoyed a couple of days of unfettered eating and drinking! With my mum in tow, I discovered Patisserie Valerie in Canterbury which has the most tempting window display ever. This group of shops specialises in pastries and cream cakes which do not disappoint and they totally made up for the bad weather!
For lunch on the same day we were taken to Jo Jo’s in Whitstable. This modernist cube on the edge of the sea was fresh and airy with good, simple food served in a casual tapas style by friendly smiling staff. I love the bright simple interior with mismatched vintage furniture and cutlery (my fork was from 1867!) and the Chorizo and Potato Stew was to die for.
