Bailiffscourt
Delicious food in a unique setting
We are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, snacks and afternoon tea for resident and non-resident guests. Book a table in our restaurant and embrace the medieval architecture, mullioned windows and tapestry-hung walls, or you may prefer a more relaxed yourself corner in one of our extremely comfortable lounges, to dine al fresco or simply order room service. When the sun shines head outside to our rose-clad courtyard or rose garden. The warm and welcoming lounges that surround our inner courtyard are endlessly appealing for lunch, a light snack and glass of wine, afternoon tea or simply to sit a while and read the papers. And when the sun shines take this moment outside into our charming courtyard or rose garden.
Bailiffscourt is perfect for afternoon tea, for a special occasion or just because you deserve a treat. Choose from a table in our charming restaurant, a sofa by the fire or sit outside in the beautiful surrounds of our rose clad courtyard and indulge.
Afternoon Tea is served between 3pm and 4.30pm and we recommend booking in advance as it's extremely popular.
And if you need even more indulgence, try our Spa'fternoon Tea experience..
Created as part of PoB Hotels' celebration of Universal Pictures' Sense & Sensibility, this afternoon tea brings together an indulgent afternoon tea and a decadent cocktail, all served in the beautiful surroundings of Bailiffscourt.
Savour full afternoon tea with a 'The Sensibility' cocktail, a literary-inspired drink that perfectly balances the Dashwood sisters' personalities: wild, passionate Marianne and modest, restrained Elinor. This refreshing, aromatic gin cocktail has a beautiful pale pink hue and a touch of botanical sweetness with fresh lavender from our garden topped with a local Sussex sparkling rosé wine.
£126 for two to enjoy The Sense & Sensibility Afternoon Tea at Bailiffscourt, served between 3pm and 4.30pm. Please book in advance and mention 'Sensibility' at time of booking. Bookable until 13th November 2026.
