TERRA Restaurant at Tottington Manor

TERRA Restaurant is the main dining room at Tottington Manor, a South Downs venue on Edburton Road near Henfield. Its food centres on seasonal cooking, Sussex produce and ingredients sourced from local growers, vineyards and makers. The style is relaxed rather than formal, making the restaurant suitable for a leisurely lunch, an evening meal or a celebration that calls for a little more occasion.

The menu changes with the seasons, with dishes prepared fresh in the TERRA kitchen. A Sussex and international wine list gives diners the option to explore local bottles alongside wines from further afield. TERRA is also connected with the wider manor dining experience, which includes coffee by the fire, afternoon tea and private dining.

For a more structured experience, the TERRA Tasting Room offers a seven-course tasting menu focused on Sussex ingredients. Local wines and spirits can be paired with the menu, and the private setting suits sophisticated celebrations or dinners where the tasting experience is the main event.

The dog-friendly Olive Lounge provides a more informal alternative within the manor. It is designed for coffee, tea, light bites and afternoon tea, while the full TERRA menu is also available there for diners accompanied by dogs. The lounge is suited to a relaxed stop after a South Downs walk, with a setting that accommodates muddy boots, newspapers and informal catch-ups.

Private dining rooms extend the restaurant's offer for family occasions, business entertaining and quieter group meals. Menus draw on the same TERRA kitchen, allowing larger or more personal gatherings to retain the venue's seasonal Sussex character. Afternoon tea adds another option for celebrations, with savoury bites, finger sandwiches and sweet treats served alongside tea, Sussex wine, Champagne or Prosecco.

Located within easy reach of Brighton and the surrounding South Downs, TERRA Restaurant works for diners looking for a country setting without leaving the Sussex dining scene. Weekend reservations are advisable, while advance booking is particularly appropriate for the Tasting Room, private dining and larger celebrations. Dietary requirements should be shared when booking, with more complex allergies discussed with the team before a visit.
