Sussex Michelin-starred hotel restaurant set for extension & new look

The Michelin-starred restaurant at grade I-listed hotel, Gravetye Manor, will undergo significant developments that include a new structure and extension.

Both the hotel, and restaurant under Head Chef George Blogg, will close on 2nd January for a period of four months, reopening in early May 2018.

The project under the direction of architect Sir Charles Knowles, in collaboration with interior designer Claire Nelson – recent projects include Elystan Street and The Ledbury – will allow the restaurant to seamlessly integrate with, and complement, the stunning Grade II-listed, 35-acre gardens, via floor to ceiling glass walls that offer uninterrupted views of the hotel’s unique vista.

Banquette and free-standing seating, all positioned with considered views of the garden, will feature next to bespoke artwork following the natural theme.

Owner, Elizabeth Hosking, commented, “We are excited to see the new restaurant at Gravetye Manor finally come to fruition.

‘By marrying contemporary design with a historic building and showcasing the beauty of our iconic gardens, the new space will bring the outside in and offer the perfect stage for George’s Modern British food, that puts the spotlight on seasonal, homegrown produce from the Manor’s 1.5 acre Victorian walled kitchen garden.”
