Heritage

#OctoberBEST may be over but this incredible menu at @heritage_mattgillan is one I won’t be forgetting in a hurry!

Absolutely delicious 5 course lunch meal for £20 (usually £27) in a beautiful setting 30minutes outside of Brighton (near Handcross) and well worth the visit!

The stand out dishes for me were: Potatoes volute egg yolk purée snack Chicken tortellini, mushroom cream starter Nori wrapped trout, arancini, sesame emulsion starter Crispy pork belly, baked leek, blue cheese, pickled shallot main course Warm chocolate mousse, salted chocolate ganache, caramel dessert

The menu also had the opportunity to add a drinks flight at £30pp which sounded great but difficult if driving (£25 soft drink version also available). I had a delicious Fennel & Grapefruit soft Martini which was beautiful and really complimented my meal

The restaurant is set in a little quiet village which was lovely and is used by the locals as a watering hole as well as a restaurant, and is also a hotel as well but still has a very relaxed country vibe about it.

The service was incredible and all felt very Covid safe as well. I will definitely be coming back to try out more of their menu! Worth a detour out of Brighton and a well deserved winner of Best ‘Out of Town’ award, won back in January at the @brightonsbestrestaurants awards!

Thanks @mattgillan_chef_ and team for an outstanding lunch!
