Come and Find Your Favourite Corner

Food at Tottington Manor is meant to fit the moment. Come in muddy-booted after a South Downs walk for coffee by the fire, settle into TERRA Restaurant for lunch or dinner, linger over afternoon tea, make an evening of the TERRA Tasting Room, or gather the people you love around a private table.

At the heart of it all is the TERRA kitchen: dishes prepared fresh, menus that move with the seasons and a real affection for Sussex produce, vineyards and makers. Each room has its own atmosphere, but the same care follows you from a relaxed plate in the Olive Lounge to a celebration dinner in one of our private rooms.

If you are joining us for TERRA itself, discover the restaurant, its awards, local suppliers and booking information on our TERRA Restaurant page. If you are deciding what takes your fancy, our current menus are easy to browse below, and Wine at TERRA tells the story behind our Sussex and international wine list.

We recommend booking TERRA at weekends and booking ahead for the Tasting Room, private dining and larger celebrations.

A Taste of Sussex, Whatever the Occasion

There is a sense of place in the food here. The South Downs sit just beyond the windows, and Sussex finds its way onto the table through local farms, fisheries, dairies, vineyards and makers. You might notice it in a piece of South Downs lamb, a local cheese, a glass of Sussex sparkling wine or simply in the way the menu changes when the season does.

We like good food to feel generous rather than formal for the sake of it. That might mean a beautifully cooked dinner in TERRA, a quiet celebration in the Inglenook, tea and cake in Olive with the dog asleep by your feet, or a long tasting menu with nowhere else to be.
