Eat & Drink
Delicious food in an elegant setting
Everyone is welcome to eat and drink at Ockenden Manor, and led by award-winning Head Chef, Stephen Crane, we serve some of the finest food in Sussex created using the very best locally sourced ingredients. Pop in for fresh coffee with home-made biscuits, a glass of Sussex, to meet friends for lunch or for an amazing dinner. We are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, snacks and afternoon tea. Our restaurant is a beautiful light space with far-reaching views over Cuckfield Park or you may choose to sit by the fire in our elegant drawing room or cosy-up in the bar, and when the sun shines head outside to our terrace.
The same menus are served throughout and we recommend booking a table in advance, if you have a preferred location please let us know. Outside tables are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Allergen menus are available, please ask a member of the team.
