Fine Dining Experience

Our restaurant offers exceptional cuisine using the finest locally sourced ingredients, paired with outstanding English wines.

At the English Wine Centre restaurant, we believe in creating memorable dining experiences. Our talented chefs take pride in crafting dishes that celebrate the best of Sussex produce, from Romney Marsh lamb to Newhaven caught fish and locally grown vegetables.

The restaurant is set in one of our beautiful oak-framed barns, providing a unique atmosphere that blends rustic charm with contemporary elegance. Our menu changes seasonally to reflect the best ingredients available.

Our wine list features an extensive selection of English wines, carefully chosen to complement our menu. Our knowledgeable staff are on hand to help you select the perfect wine to accompany your meal.

We are open for lunch and dinner Wednesday to Sunday. Booking is recommended, especially for weekend dining.
