When he was a young boy, Jonathan Cartwright wanted to be a cyclist and win the Tour de France. But at the age of fifteen he discovered cooking and became more interested in wearing a white apron than the yellow jersey. These days he is a respected and dedicated Grand Chef, who has turned the White Barn Inn into a great place to eat, as well as a peaceful, elegant place to stay and relax. The restaurant is housed in an authentic New England barn dating back to the early 1800s. 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 recount the life story of the fresh Kennebunkport lobster, star of his menu. Savour this lobster as it is, or in a bisque or cognac sauce, alongside the other creations inspired by local produce.
