The Chai Stop was established in 1999 by Tina and Isobel. Inspired by Tina’s travels in India where she trained under a top Indian chef and the discovery of a treasured hand-written book of recipes from Isobel’s grandmother, a cook for a school in the foothills of the Himalayas. The pair came together to create a truly authentic experience for all to enjoy. Today with a small but dedicated team they continue to develop new mouth-watering meals all prepared with fresh and, where possible, locally produced ingredients, all in their purpose built kitchen in East Kent. The Nursery has been supplying a lot of the vegetables used in their recipes since 2001 and East Kent Growers are proud to continue this.
