Capstone Farm Country Park Cafe

you're on capstone road, out past the residential fringes of chatham where the land opens up and the park takes over. it's not the kind of address you stumble onto, which means the people who show up to this cafe at capstone farm country park tend to actually want to be there. that self-selection does something to the atmosphere, even if you can't quite name it. gillingham has its independent coffee spots, but this one has the particular advantage of sitting inside a working country park, so your flat white comes with actual countryside rather than a car park view. locally, it's built a reputation that holds up, and that takes time in a place like this. a good reason to arrive before the afternoon dog-walking crowds hit capstone road.
