The Corner House restaurant is up for sale

According to The Sun: The restaurant, which has been providing its visitors with an unforgettable experience for nearly ten years, is now up for sale.

Chef and owner Matt Sorder opened The Corner House in Canterbury in 2016, and the establishment quickly received numerous positive reviews.

The restaurant's menu has been constantly updated, offering customers “simple British food with a local taste, cooked well.”

During its existence, the establishment has received several awards, including two Restaurant of the Year Taste of Kent awards and the 2023 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice award.

On the eve of its tenth anniversary, Matt decided to sell the restaurant and expressed gratitude to everyone who helped him achieve success.

Matt said: “My heart and mind are still 100% focused on providing what we have always aimed to achieve at The Corner House – a fantastic experience for guests.

“The Corner House has been a significant part of my life since it opened in Minster when I was 27 – for 14 years I have remained 100% committed to my team and our guests.”

He emphasized that he is proud of his work at the successful restaurant over the years.

“I want everyone to know that this is a long-term transition and that everyone has plenty of time to visit us before I hand over all responsibilities.”

Despite the challenges restaurants face due to the rising cost of living, Matt assured that the establishment will continue to honor all existing reservations.

“I want to reassure everyone who has made reservations or is planning to celebrate Christmas with us that their bookings are secure, and we will provide the same experience for which The Corner House has earned its reputation and awards.”

The former chef has also drawn attention from viewers on BBC’s Countryfile Live, demonstrating how to prepare a popular summer dish from his new cookbook in 2019.

In recent months, popular restaurant chains have been facing severe challenges due to rising energy prices and inflation, causing many people to forgo dining out.

The situation in the restaurant business markets remains complex. The challenges posed by the current economic conditions will be difficult for establishments to overcome. Matt Sorder emphasizes that he intends to maintain the quality of service and guest satisfaction at a high level as The Corner House goes through this transition phase.
