When it comes to private dining in West Sussex, Tottington Manor is a failsafe choice. Tottington Manor offers an elegant and versatile private dining experience where the charm of its centuries-old history meets contemporary British cuisine. The kitchen draws inspiration from the surrounding South Downs landscape, with menus by executive chef Chris Hilton at the helm. With four private dining rooms, you’re bound to find one to suit your occasion.
For intimate gatherings or casual meetings, The Nook provides a cosy setting, conveniently located off the main Terra Restaurant where six to eight guests can dine a la carte or celebrate in style with a taster menu. For larger family celebrations or corporate dinners of up to 18 guests, The Manor Room offers a warm and charming 17th-century location complete with oak-beamed ceilings and an open fireplace.
If your occasion is due to be a grander affair, consider The Small Downs room. With access to a private bar area and the Downs Suite Gardens, up to 24 guests can dine in comfort on set menus devised by executive chef Chris Hilton. And if you’re looking to make an impact, the Large Downs room accommodates up to 60 and can provide picturesque views over the South Downs Hills.
If there’s one thing that guarantees an exceptional private dining experience in West Sussex, it’s first-class wines from local vineyards. Along with world-class bottles, guests can expect sparklings from Albourne Estate and whites from Poynings Grange.
And it doesn’t stop there, whether you’re looking for a formal set menu, bespoke catering, a la carte flexibility or a grazing buffet, local Sussex produce sits in pride of place. Think salt beef brisket with smoked mayonnaise and fresh horseradish, Sussex porchetta with mashed potato and apple bonbon, and Tottington sausage and apricot rolls.
