Colourful, unfussy and joyous, there is so much to love about this great little restaurant decorated with warm hues and black-and-white photographs depicting scenes from West Africa, setting the stage perfectly for Maria Bradford’s generous, vibrantly flavoured food. A self-taught chef from Sierra Leone, she pulls inspiration from her home country and beyond for dishes such as meltingly tender beef short rib in a delicious groundnut and coconut sauce. The tasting menu is great for hungry diners, but brilliant value can be found when sharing plates from the à la carte.

Gravetye Manor

Modern British · ★ Michelin

££££

This quintessential country house hotel is surrounded by 35 acres of glorious gardens; it was, after all, once home to pioneering gardener William Robinson. Ornate ceilings and fireplaces feature in the beautiful sitting rooms, while the restaurant sits within a striking contemporary extension. The kitchen garden provides the kitchen's heartbeat, with the fruit (and veg) of its labours being used across carefully executed dishes that appeal to both the taste buds and the eyes – as in the seemingly simple but utterly delicious 'garden salad'.

Modern Cuisine

£££

They’ve got a loyal following at this long-standing restaurant that offers an extensive and appealing menu of modern European dishes. The cooking has some light, delicate touches and prime British produce cooked on the Mibrasa grill is a feature, like Cornish monkfish or Angus rib-eye. It’s all delivered inside a property that dates back to the 1930s and there are subtle references to this period in the elegant décor. The service team bring an enthusiastic smile and real care to their work.
