Cooking and dining

You’ve room for 20 around the dining table beneath the beams and chandeliers, or eat out on the terrace by the pool. If you don’t fancy putting your apron on and manning the fan oven with five-burner hob, might we suggest booking our own in-house detox menu, complete with juice selection plus raw and cooked vegetarian food.

Telephone for takeaways from Muktha for delicious Indian, Nazar for Turkish such as lamb shish, kofte and their own baklava, or Thai at Orchid, with all chefs trained in Thailand, for a ‘weeping tiger’ or great vegan options. Or go to town – while staying at home – with all manner of tasty treats from Battle Kebabs and Fish and Chips.

Eating out? Pop in to The Plough in Crowhurst for smoky chilli chicken wings or lamb- shank goulash, to The Abbey Hotel in Battle for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or to The
Bull Inn for crispy-chicken burger or halloumi burger. Or head to Trinity of Battle for contemporary dining with a traditional twist.

Dine fresh at Webbe’s Rock-a-Nore, where fresh fish make the one-minute journey across the shingle beach. Or try the taste of a Michelin star at The Curlew in Bodiam, with simple and seasonal plates from land and sea with ingredients that change according to what’s available from the smallholding farm and the local fishermen.
