Square Meal review of Gravetye Manor:

Situated close to Gatwick Airport & the M25, Elizabethan mansion Gravetye Manor, which dates back to 1598, feels like a world away from the rat race, surrounded by fields, forests & its own stunning gardens. Interiors are cosseting, with giant fireplaces & comfy sofas littering the public areas & well-spaced, linen-clad tables in the wood-paneled dining room. Here is where to enjoy the Michelin-starred cooking of chef & co-proprietor Mark Raffan, who used to be the personal chef of King Hussein of Jordan & who clearly still enjoys harnessing luxury ingredients, as well as fruit, veg & herbs from his own kitchen garden. A typical meal might involve a stunning terrine of rabbit confit, langoustine, foie gras & caramelised chicory, followed by fillet of turbot with braised oxtail, parsnip puree & cockles mariniere. To finish, we’d recommend the peerless white chocolate & Pernod parfait served with bitter chocolate sorbet & warm griottine cherries. There’s a weighty wine list too & it all comes served by extremely well-drilled staff. To get the most out of the experience, stay over & retire to one of the lovely bedrooms upstairs.
