Ockenden Manor

The restaurant at Ockenden Manor opens out onto our terrace and is  surrounded by white roses during the summer. The views from the terrace lead onto the gardens, with sweeping views towards the South Downs National Park. A truly magnificent setting in which to dine.

Stephen Crane who is from Balcombe village has been heading up the kitchen for more than a decade.
