As a young boy, Jonathan Cartwright wanted to be a cyclist and “win the Tour de France”. But, at the age of 15, he discovered cooking and became more interested in wearing a white apron than the yellow jersey. These days he is a respected and dedicated chef, who has turned the White Barn Inn into a great place to eat as well as a peaceful, elegant place to stay and a unique centre of relaxation. In the words of this passionate perfectionist “Cooking requires the same determination as cycling, the same effort and the same team spirit”. Above all, Jonathan values the quality of his products and he can tell you the life story of the fresh Kennebunkport lobster, star of his menu, from its birth to the moment it arrives in his kitchen. To be savoured as it is or in a bisque or a cognac sauce, among the other creations inspired by local produce.
