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.
