About The Harvest Ground

Housed in a sunlit cottage in Penshurst, The Harvest Ground swaps predictable cafe staples for low-and-slow barbecue and inventive global fusion. Smoked beef brisket comes served with charred beans and creamy mac and cheese, while breakfast pivots into Japanese and French accents with a prawn croissant or eggs benedict crowned with roe and fried onions. Regulars linger over specialty coffee beneath stained glass windows, settling into a welcoming space that dispenses with Sunday surcharges.

  • House-Smoked Meats: Beef brisket and Reuben pastrami are smoked in-house, anchoring robust platters alongside char-kissed beans and rich mac and cheese.
  • Globally Inspired Plates: Traditional breakfast gives way to inventive plates like a French-Japanese prawn croissant and eggs benedict topped with roe and crisp fried onions.
  • Zero Sunday Surcharge: Weekend brunch comes without the typical Sunday surcharge, served across airy, sunlit rooms framed by vintage stained glass.
