Food & Flowers

My passion for flower arrangement has stayed with me through the years. It has also become an important part of Naturally Chinese's brand development because it is an extension of our services and the whole experience we offer. Ikebana - the art of arranging flowers is more than just that. It is less about putting flowers in a vase as it is more a way of living and experiencing a connection with nature. You might have also noticed that at Naturally Chinese, our flower arrangements are never uniform, but asymmetrical and less elaborate. This is truer to Ikebana. The idea of taking plants [...]

Gluten Free Beer

2020-04-30T10:53:24+01:00

The New year brings new changes, and we are making some on our menu. Very excited to introduce these. Nothing too drastic, just a bit of a revamp. On our quest to cater fully to our Coeliac community, we now have two gluten free beers to choose from. We sampled them to our customers yesterday at dinner, and although one had more popularity than the other, I am going to include both. The two beers are brewed locally in Kent at the Westerham brewery. The thought of it being local and not having to travel too far to get here is a [...]

Swift Beginnings

2020-04-30T10:53:24+01:00

Welcome to the new year at Naturally Chinese! Over a week into 2016, and I'm thinking of all the things on my list to get done, even those resolutions. The holiday came and went too soon, I'm sure you can agree. Very early signs of Spring are already showing - small daffodil bulbs sprouting in the garden and the days are beginning to get brighter. I'm sure there might be a few other signs you will have noticed. Time is certainly passing us by in our digital age, which can be a challenge to keep up. We're already beginning our preparations for [...]
