Heritage

For Fathers Day this year we visited @heritage_mattgillan by @mattgillan_chef_ near Haywards Heath for their lovely Fathers Day BBQ and it was fantastic!

Although the BBQ was a special event, usually this restaurant is known for being one of Sussex’s top fine dine countryside restaurants with fantastic set menu options in their beautiful restaurant over looking lovely country views (and cows as we found on our recent visit!). We have been here for the set menu option too and it was amazing so when I saw the Fathers Day BBQ come up, I was quick to book tickets for the family, knowing it was going to be a great option

On this visit we were offered unlimited food from the BBQ of delicious meats such as Beef Brisket, satay style chicken, home made sausages plus more and some fantastic flat breads made in the @gozney RoccBox which were made by Matt’s kids who were helping him out on the BBQ on the day which was lovely to see and what a nice way to spend Fathers Day! I think the only critique from me would be to have had some salsas or nice dips to bring the dish together but other than that it was delightful. We also had a couple of cocktails, I particularly liked mine which was the Pablo’s Fizz which was Pink Pepper Gin, Passionfruit and Sparkling Wine

We finished with some desserts of Tiramisu and salted caramel doughnuts plus a lovely option of the ice cream station in the garden which, as you can imagine, the kids went mad for. We all then sat outside in the garden while the live band played and it was a really lovely afternoon

Keep an eye out, as I believe there may be more of these BBQs taking place over the summer and I really couldn’t recommend it enough. Although it was a close call whether it was going to rain or not, we were lucky that the sun came out for the occasion. I would also recommend trying the set menu here, I have been here a couple of times and it’s always been such a treat, I only wish it was closer so we could enjoy it more!
