DINING PERFECTION AT
CHAPTER ONE
insideKENT EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
I HAD HEARD NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS ABOUT CHAPTER ONE IN LOCKSBOTTOM. CREATIVE (AND DELICIOUS) DISHES PAIRED WITH A CASUAL BUT UPSCALE ATMOSPHERE; SOUNDS LIKE MY KIND OF PLACE, BUT I MUST ADMIT I WASN’T EXPECTING TO BE BLOWN AWAY. I WAS EXPECTING WHAT I ALWAYS DO FROM A ‘NICE’ RESTAURANT: GOOD FOOD, GOOD SERVICE, AND SOME FANCY FURNITURE. YES, CHAPTER ONE HAS ALL THOSE THINGS – BUT THAT’S JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. I CAN SAY, HAND ON HEART, THAT CHAPTER ONE WAS NOTHING SHORT OF DINING PERFECTION. BY DONNA MARTIN

TIM BURTON ON THE SET OF THE CORPSE BRIDE, 2005 © DEREK FREY
During my own personal culinary adventures in Kent, I’ve found that most ‘nice’ restaurants have a flaw or two. Perhaps the waiter hovers a bit too much, or the poached egg is a little overcooked. Sometimes there’s too much time (way too much time) between courses, or they’ve run out of something I particularly fancy.
I’m a picky person. Some of my friends tell me I’m almost a psychotic perfectionist. I’m the person that always finds something wrong with everything. It’s not a trait I’m particularly proud of, but I can’t help it. Well, I guess I could help it, but perfectionism isn’t a bad thing, is it? At least it means the end result is as good as it possibly could be.
Whatever the flaw, I’ve found there’s always at least a few things that could be improved upon. Up until the end of 2012, I had yet to find a restaurant in Kent that I couldn’t find any faults with.
Obviously, Chapter One’s executive chef, Andrew McLeish, has this same mantra. The only difference between Andrew and me is he seems to achieve perfection effortlessly (and probably without the psychotic bit). I’m sure Chapter One’s Michelin star and four AA Rosettes didn’t come without effort, but they have somehow achieved the perfect balance of exclusivewithout-being-stuffy service and blow-your-socks-off food without breaking a sweat.
That’s until I visited Chapter One.

GENIUS IS, MANY TIMES, MISUNDERSTOOD. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE CASE IN THE BEGINNING WITH THE WORK OF TIM BURTON, BUT THAT DIDN’T LAST FOR LONG. BURTON’S WORK IS ACCLAIMED AND ADORED BY MILLIONS OF FANS AND ADMIRERS ACROSS THE GLOBE. HIS DARK HUMOUR AND UNIQUE POINT OF VIEW HAVE TOUCHED AND INSPIRED A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF FILMMAKERS. HIS LAUGH IS INFECTIOUS AND HIS PERSONA FILLS A ROOM WITH A NON-PRETENTIOUS AURA.
