Awards for the Third Year in a Row!
The news about our continued success was featured in the Sevenoaks Chronicle:
A Sevenoaks restaurant has been awarded two AA rosettes for the third year running. Greggs Restaurant, on the High Street, which is the only restaurant in town to have obtained the coveted cooking distinction once, let alone three times, is owned and run by Gavin and Lucinda Gregg. The establishment has earned two AA rosettes for providing food which demonstrates "innovation, greater technical skill and more consistency and judgement in combining and balancing ingredients."
Mr Gregg, who said the business had not been an overnight success, plans to open an outside eating area next spring. "Over the years my passion for food has not diminished," he said. "Our quest for excellence is on-going."
