What’s In Season

For March, 2024

Seasons Focus

Autumn is such a wonderful season in Sussex with volumes of amazing produce!

Autumn is all about pumpkin carving, roasted vegetables and cosy meals!

At the pumpkin patch we will be serving spiced pumpkin soup and our famous home made Chelwood Gate Sausage rolls with Pork from our local pig farmer Richard Bates.

The Stables café has a warming traditional broth, ‘Hotch Potch’  with lamb and  seasonal vegetables as well as a comforting welsh rarebit made with a local Longmans Best.

The Sussex Barn restaurant is utilising blackberries from our garden with venison tartare and apples from our orchard in the apple and blackberry crumble.
