Just across the county border, barely into Kent, is Westerham. Just east of Westerham - and technically still in it - is the Squerrey Estate. This estate has both a winery and a brewery on site, as well as a deli, a restaurant, a bar and a cafe. One might say it’s well-equipped.

| Paved parking! |
It’s off Beggar’s Lane (A233), which as an A-road, is pretty wide and smooth, and the access is paved. The parking is largely gravel but - and this is an important but - there is a paved section, on which, if you are lucky, there will be space to park.
My timing was off - I was too late for tasting plates at the deli or continental breakfast at the cafe and I was too early for lunch at the restaurant. The menu looks good for omnivores and carnivores.
The coffee I did have at the cafe wasn’t the best, but the grounds are lovely on a clear summer’s day, and coffee by itself is not a dealbreaker.
I went back at actual lunchtime, but the restaurant was - it eventually admitted - not taking walk-ins. Luckily the winery shares its grounds with the Westerham Brewery, which has a friendly taproom and a rotating cast of food trucks, so I had lunch there instead.
