Kentish:
historically hospitable

nature, texture, iceland, moody, photography, otherworldly iceland, underground, underworld, otherwordly, woodland,

The southern dialect of Old English, "Kentish" was known best for its inventive efficiency, often lilting right past entire halves of words to form wildly unique hybrids. 

The Kentish linguistic malleability represented a cultural fondness of adaptability, emphasized by its colloquialisms and slang.
.

By leaving room for personalized interpretations, Kentish remained playfully generous in its portmanteaus, and resonates in our language today.

Kentish is historically hospitable.

Stepping beyond the brick and mortar,
Kentish Hospitality brings Founder, 
Wes Kent, into new but familiar jargon. 

Intrinsic, gracious hospitality rings true for Kent in all iterations of his character, professional and personal alike. Kent's hospitality extends beyond the plate, though he's got the chops to rest his laurels on credentials alone:

A Johnson & Wales graduate, Kent trained under Southern culinary pillars, Peter Dale & Hugh Acheson [The National, Empire State South, 5 & 10], before eventually opening a restaurant of his own, Silver Queen, to cult success +  community delight. 

Kentish Hospitality is the quilt of Chef Kent’s illustrious experience in all things hospitable - pull up a chair and join us for supper, won’tcha?

  • “To know Wes Kent is to love Wes Kent! Chef Wes brings exceptional culinary skills with a kind and humble demeanor. His passion for cooking and hospitality is evident in everything he touches.”

    Peter Dale, Condor Chocolates

  • "Wes is one of the nicest, most genuine, caring, and talented [yet chill] chefs I’ve had the pleasure to know. Good foods + good vibes = Wes Kent."

    Joel Penn, Vinetta
