Kent’s Food & Drink Experts Reveal Their Top Ten Gifting List In Time For Father’s Day

The list features a multitude of gift ideas ranging from state-of-the-art barbeques and accessories, to hampers, food boxes and drinks.

Top of the list are Macknade’s brand-new Kentish Beer Experience Subscription and Father’s Day Beer Box. The subscription is available as a monthly box delivered direct to the doorstep of choice for three months, whilst the beer box is available as a one-off purchase.

Carefully handpicked by the Macknade hop heads, beer aficionados will discover a selection of nine different beers from both well-known names and hidden gems. Each beer is brewed in the County of Kent, with some coming from the historic market town of Faversham – home to Macknade’s flagship food hall.

Alongside the beers, the boxes include informative tasting notes and a paired snack, plus in the Father’s Day Beer Box and the first Kentish Beer Experience box, drinkers will also discover a score card booklet, designed to keep a record of their favourite tipples.

Coming in a close second is the Big Green Egg. Stocked by Macknade in both their Faversham and Ashford stores and used by some of the best chefs around the world, these ceramic kamodo style cookers and their extensive range of ‘eggcessories’ promise to revolutionise outdoor cooking.

Next up, the foodie favourites have compiled some very special packages that can either be delivered nationwide or picked up in store. Ranging from delicious food boxes and hampers, packed with treats, to their thoughtfully chosen wine selection boxes. For cheese fans, the Italian Cheese & Charcuterie or the Kent Cheese Collection Deli Boards are a must and finally, the Daddy Rocks drinks stones will keep all manner of spirits cool without diluting them.

Meanwhile, with eating out firmly back on the menu, Macknade’s indoor and outdoor dining areas at Faversham and Ashford are ideal for those looking to take the family out for a meal – even well behaved four legged family members are welcome, as long as paws stay on the floor.

Visitors to Macknade Faversham can enjoy delicious dishes from around the world at the Food Village, an outdoor marketplace and dining area with street food served by handpicked vendors. Dishes range from authentic Italian pizzas, snacks and drinks at The Deck to fusion cuisine by Silver Birch, aromatic curries from Karara and tasty tacos from the folks at Taco Bill. The popular indoor café has now reopened with brunch dishes, such as the famous serrano and eggs, alongside sweet treats, drinks, salads, sourdough sarnies and platters.

Alternatively, Macknade Ashford offers breakfast, brunch, lunch and supper dishes alongside a selection of wines, beers and soft drinks served indoors or on the terrace. Highlights include dishes sizzled to perfection on the plancha, alongside favourites such as the Choripan (a butterflied chorizo sausage smothered in chimichurri, encased in Macknade’s own pizza bread -panuozzo) or the classic Mack Burger.
