Discover TERRA Restaurant

Exceptional Dining on the Edge of the South Downs

Just beyond our stunning South Downs lies a quaint and colourful foodie haven, the refined yet relaxed Terra Restaurant at Tottington Manor. Known as one of Sussex’s premier wedding and event venues, Terra Restaurant boasts uninterrupted views of rolling hills, making it a year-round destination for food lovers seeking something special.

Not Just Any Restaurant

Tottington Manor isn’t only home to the newly renovated Terra Restaurant but also offers charming overnight accommodation for those craving a countryside escape. Just a stone’s throw from vibrant Brighton nightlife, and only 15 minutes by car (or Uber) from Shoreham-by-Sea, it’s the perfect quick getaway for locals who love exceptional food and tranquil country charm..

Private Dining? Yes Please!

The restaurant welcomes groups of almost any size. Whether it’s a cosy date night, a celebration with friends, or an unforgettable event planned alongside their dedicated events team, you can expect exceptional service every step of the way.

Did Someone Say Rosette?

Terra is quickly becoming a standout in the foodie world, with the AA closely watching their progress. Narrowly missing two rosettes last year, achieving this recognition in 2025 is their driving ambition. With laser-sharp focus on flavour, technique, and consistency, the passionate Terra team is committed to making this year their finest yet..

Start as You Mean to Go On!

On arrival, we received the warmest welcome from delightful Molly, the manager. Molly embodies everything you want in a front-of-house leader: effortlessly charming, attentive to detail, and skilled in silver service. She escorted us to our beautifully arranged private dining table, complete with a warming fireplace, atmospheric lighting, and cosy country charm.

Stellar Sussex Wines

Terra proudly showcases local produce, and their elegant wine list pays homage to Sussex’s exceptional vineyards, featuring standout selections from Albourne, Bolney, Henners, Plumpton, Ridgeview, Poynings, Chapel Down, and Hidden Spring. Molly recommended her personal favourite, a crisp and delightful Albourne Estate White Pinot Noir, delicious!.
