Terra

Have you checked out @terrarestaurantsussex at @tottingtonmanor yet, if not, it’s a must! Such a beautiful spot in the South Downs with stunning views, gorgeous interiors and such a lovely atmosphere. One thing I really love about Terra is how much they celebrate local produce, with the menu showcasing exactly where ingredients are sourced from

On our most recent visit, we shared the Padron peppers, homemade focaccia & houmous to start, simple but so good. For mains, the Ditchling chicken ballotine was absolutely gorgeous, but the standout for me was the beef short rib with wholegrain mustard mash, silverskin onions, lardons & local greens… honestly incredible and love that it is all locally sourced. Classic dishes done really well

We were too full for dessert, but had to share a peppermint tea which came with the cutest little tea timer depending how strong you wanted it, it’s the little touches like that that make somewhere feel extra special 🫖

Also obsessed with their veranda area complete with fire tables, perfect for drinks as the sun goes down on a summer evening 🔥🌅

Such an impressive meal from start to finish. I’ve had their Sunday roasts here and they are amazing too, but make sure you book ahead because they fill up fast! A definite must visit if you’re in the South Downs
