Benguela Brasserie in Horsham

Here is my honest review of the Vineyard Kitchen which is now under the umbrella of Leonardslee Vineyard. We enjoyed a 3 course Sunday lunch which price wise was slightly above the average cost but the surroundings, art work and overall environment made it feel above average. The Sunday menu is limited but less choice can be a good thing for some people and we found plenty to interest us. The service is lacking direction but the waiting team are pleasant and joyful but they need someone to help guide them and avoid missing the subtle touches that make a difference. Our table was layed incorrectly, we had a side plate but no bread was offered. We had wine but had to ask for an ice bucket twice, the rose wine was nice but not served or presented appropriately (bearing in mind this is a vineyard so would expect more emphasis on showcasing wine), water not topped up when empty, we had to go to the till to pay the bill. All fairly small things but collectively hold the experience back from what could be excellent. The starters that we had were unbalanced in the flavours. The goats cheese needed to be stronger against the pickling of the beetroot which also over powered what was a very nice piece of salmon. The peaches with the Burrata were not ripe and should not really have been served. The main was faultless in our opinion, one of the best we have had in a long time. The beef brisket was superb and I love it when extra gravy arrives without asking. The veg looked inviting and tasted fresh and the cauliflower cheese was again faultless all with very good amount of food. For desserts it was very much the same as starters, unbalanced flavours and nothing memorable. We had a bottle of Rose which was very good quality and reasonably priced at £20. Overall a nice experience which is frustrating because it has so much more potential and I wanted to enjoy it more but in the end there were just too many elements that made it in line with the price, just above average. Do visit but only opt for a main a nice bottle of wine and I think you will love it. Anymore and you will be left wanting much more than what you get

Lacking on all fronts. Service was slow. Menu was only 4 mains. We had to ask for a bread roll as none were offered. We were asked if we wanted it heated, to which we said no as we had already had to wait for the starter. When it came it had come out of the fridge! Steaks were very small for the price, tasteless & tough. Clearly not of good quality. When I mentioned this to the waitress she said she would tell the chef. We were not offered a replacement or a discount. Desserts looked good but didn't carry through with any flavour & I appeared to have come ready made from the freezer. All in all, very expensive (£100 for lunch for 2) and not worth it.

On previous occasions we have had a nice meal however on this occasion the food was not particular good, toilets and blocked, ambience loud unable to talk to each other. For a Sunday roast very over priced for 5 people, bottle of wine, couple of Guinness, two Coke zeros and large glass of red…….. £228……

The Mannings Heath website described a three course Sunday lunch. We were very disappointed to discover that the only roast meat on the menu was chicken. The portion size was ample but more vegetables would have been welcome and there was very little gravy. The dining room was lovely with a lovely view. The service was good but the food was disappointing. Customer toilets are same sex.

Pre COVID lockdown Sunday lunch here was a treat to which we looked forward, I agree with all the 5* Reviews. Post COVID lockdown Sunday lunch was poor to terrible. The roast, dry meat, next to no gravy, tasteless cauliflower cheese, hunt the roast potato, desert was worse. Service not great and we were put in the bar area instead of the nice dining rooms. I hope it is just a blip, I won’t be returning until I see some new positive reviews.

Wow, why haven't I been here before now! Now I know the quality of the food and wine and the excellent standard of customer service it won't be long before we will be back but I will be booking a taxi so I can sample the wine. We arrived early and took our drinks out to the terrace to take in the views of the golf course. The menu had something for all tastes and pockets. Our starters were amazing and the steak main course surpassed our expectations. There was nothing to critise, food, wine,service, environment all excelled. Planning to come back for a roast and to sample a ploughmans soon. P.S. Love the fact that all the produce is locally sourced.

Enjoyed a stunning Sunday lunch with hubby. Warm and friendly staff, great service, amazing food and lovely setup. Will definitely be going back. Hubby is also becoming a member at the Golf Course, so we will be going often to The amazing South African/British Mannings Heath Golf Club and Wine Estate !!

We booked on line arrived Saturday evening to be told they had our booking but were unable to accommodate us. No apology, even the bar staff had a couldn't be bothered attitude. I suggest a serious course in staff training

We went with friends to try out the Benguela Brasserie at Mannings Heath Golf Club. The setting is magnificent for a start. The dining room is cosy and comfortable. Our waitress, Charlotte B, was extremely attentive throughout the evening and interacted well with the 4 of us. The meal was delicious at every stage and was served promptly. All was beautifully presented. Between us we had starters ranging from asparagus to prawns to smoked salmon. The steak main courses though, were the highlight. 3 of us had fillet and my husband had a sirloin. We all agreed that they were amongst the best steaks we had had - anywhere (including the US). Tender and melt in the mouth. Served with a choice of sauce and 2 sides, my sweet potato fries were crisp and the mushrooms were delicious. This was followed by yummy desserts and all washed down with top quality affordable wine. As members of Leonardslee Gardens (a visit there is also highly recommended), we benefited from 10% off the bill. So for c. £50 a head we enjoyed a truly special meal and we will definitely be returning.

Good food, well presented and in lovely surroundings. Delightful staff were friendly and attentive, and house wines very good, particularly the S African Claret-style Collage.

Thursday is steak night with outstanding beef, two side dishes and a glass of wine for an average of £25 is great value. Starters and desserts are also available from the menu and fish is on offer if you don’t like meat. Vegetation options too. Our ribeye steaks (10oz) were cooked exactly as ordered and the house red wine was very palatable. You don’t have to be a member of the golf club either. If you want a good steak give this place a try

Steak and wine night. Best steaks in Horsham and free glass of excellent Benguela Cove wine. Service and atmosphere really good. A great night out for all 6 of us.

I have been looking forward to dining at the Benguela for ages so was pleased to go here for my belated birthday meal. We went on the steak and wine night which takes place every Thursday. I had checked out the menu online and decided in advance what I was having. On arrival we were given the menu which differed to some degree to what was online, mainly a few different starters, but this wasn’t a big issue because basically we were there for the steaks. Online it said one of the main dishes was moules mariniere and this had been swapped out for salmon so you would have been disappointed if you had been specially looking forward to moules. Anyway I ordered a sirloin steak and specified medium. When it arrived it was well done. I know many of my friends would have sent it back but I’m not a big steak fusspot so just ate it. It was very disappointing though and the brandy and blue cheese sauce looked and tasted more like peppercorn sauce without the actual peppers. It certainly didn’t taste of blue cheese. It wasn’t as though the restaurant was busy so I would have expected the chef to get it right. The waitress was friendly and eager though quite inexperienced and asked us too many times if everything was alright and we also felt quite rushed throughout each course. A very underwhelming experience really and wouldn’t rush back.

I've recently visted this club house with my family for an evening meal where we picked our dinner from the bar menu. The food is incredible and service is second to none! If you're looking for somewhere to go for a special occassion, you need to try here! I'd like to thank hannah for serving us and she is a credit to your company. We will definitely be returning.

A group of 4 of us attended the wine and steak evening yesterday. We were met by the general manager, Simon, who was very welcoming. We were then introduced to Stuart for the wine tasting, who was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. There was a great range of wines to taste, and Stuart answered all of our questions and more! We were waited on by Elise and Tom for dinner, who were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The meal itself was great and I would highly recommend others to this venue. Thank you to all the staff mentioned at Mannings Heath for making it such a lovely evening.

My family & I visited Mannings Heath golf course clubhouse recently for dinner & drinks. We have eaten in both the main restaurant and from the clubhouse bar menu on many an occasion, this time we ate from the bar lounge menu. The magnificent club house is situated with breathtaking views of the golf course, with a beautiful outdoor veranda available also. Our group of five adults were met and personally welcomed by the management team, our drinks order was taken by Harry behind the bar, who recommended various wines, of which they have an extensive collection, in particular, the South African wines are amazing. Our food orders were taken & served by a young lady called Annabelle, who was extremely professional, competent and handled all with grace & ease. Annabelle has a natural flair for customer service. We were seated in the snug area of the lounge and it felt as though we were eating in an exclusive, private dining room with magnificent views. We all ordered different dishes and all food was of the highest standards. Beautifully presented, piping hot, superb taste, quality ingredients, exceptional value for money, generous portions. All dishes were tweaked to our own preferences. The Chef excelled themselves in everything we were presented with. The bar menu of course, is different to the main restaurant, but the service, standards and quality of food were just as outstanding. The food was cooked to perfection. All in all, an amazing dining experience. In my opinion the location, venue, menu, food, wine and service are the best in the area. Truly outstanding, in every way. Our family have eaten in both the bar and restaurant on many an occasion over the years and the current ownership, management team, staff, service, food and drinks are top notch. I can't think of one other restaurant locally that would ever be able to compare in any way with this unique location. They are just remarkable. Very well done indeed.

My partner and I popped into Mannings Heath for some Lunch and a Coffee. We hadn’t booked a table but the staff were very welcoming and allowed us to sit in a quiet room for Lunch from the Bar Menu. The food was excellent value and very tasty! We will definitely come back and visit again, possibly for the Steak Night on a Thursday!

Booked on seeing the reviews on trip adviser for ourselves and another couple for Friday evening . Had looked at the a la carte menu on the website which looked very good . We were the only people in the restaurant all evening , on a Friday which was surprising . The menu was completely different and being dissappointed with the choice the chef came out and apologised and agreed to cook us steaks and salmon . The food was just ok by this time we were wishing we had gone elsewhere . Where on a Friday evening would anywhere be empty . Certainly would not be returning had expected so much more as this is a great location . Word of advice get your website up to date , as we did not get anything like we expected .

As a group of mums who couldn't be with our kids, we decided to treat ourselves to afternoon tea for Mother's Day. What a shambles the service was - we were served by one girl with dark hair who didn't have a clue and another tall blonde girl who didn't seem to give two hoots! Neither of them showed any interaction with us - perhaps they were too busy chatting as I am sure we could hear the very distinct shrill voice of the tall one.

Was at Benguela yesterday for steak night with a large group of friends. Well done (not my husbands T-bone, that was perfectly medium!) to Chef Nick and his team. My curry was made specially for me, being the only vegetarian, with his own blend of spices. Great service, thanks.

My wife and I spent a superb evening at the Brasserie last week. Wonderful food, fantastic friendly staff and an excellent venue. My thanks to all who looked after us. We shall be going back very soon

A few booking issues, otherwise thoroughly enjoyed the experience.I have no hesitation recommending this restaurant.I look forward to my next visit.

We are actually getting married at manning heath on Sunday 26th May 2019, and wanted to take my mother in law to be for lunch. The food exceeded my expectations, it was honestly the best roast I have ever I had! The puddings were also really good, lovely service too! Thank you! Think we will have to take many trips back prior to the big day :)

Absolutely superb. We booked in for seven o'clock. One of our group was running late. We added an extra person. No problem. Sat down at 8pm. Food superb. Even the chef checked out that all was going okay. Bar and restaurant staff - hats off - you are the best. Polite , accommodating and extremely knowledgeable about what is on your menu. Mrs Streeter - you are on a winning streak. So looking forward to dining at Leonardslee.

Fabulous steaks, the best for a long time and the desserts - wow. The waitress was superb, knowledgeable and professional. Wish we lived closer.

Charming waitress, excellent food, what more is there to say. We will be returning very soon probably for the Festive Season. A visit is highly recommended.

After an excellent early evening wine tasting experience (wine and cheese pairing) we decided to stay on and have dinner in Benguela Brasserie. What a good decision. Main courses of fish and steak were excellent. There's clearly a very good chef here. Our meals were enhanced by (South African) Benguela Cove wines, chosen to go with our specific dishes (expertly guided by Phil Platt). Service all round was efficient and professional. We had a great evening. Do try this out of town restaurant, definitely a cut above most Horsham offerings.

Our first visit for Steak Night...small but welcoming inside eating area and beautiful views from the large terrace.

We have eaten here before and find the atmosphere and the staff both excellent. The food is also very good, but I have a slight issue with the portion size, especially the starters. On our recent visit, the mozzarella and tomato was tiny, and previously the small scallops were just 1 1/2 per portion. This is the only dampener on an otherwise nice experience. Don't be put off, as the views are worth a visit, and the staff are lovely.

With no football on the television we thought this was a golden opportunity to go out and try the Steak and Wine evening at Mannings Heath. On entering the bar which was deserted the bar person was actually sitting at the bar herself and then casually got off her stool and took us through to our table where we hoped there would be more of an atmosphere.

Me and my girlfriend stopped by and had a roast. The only way I can describe it was that it was incredible. Locally sourced meat with all the trimmings overlooking the course in the sunshine. A great way to spend a Sunday.

We decided to give this place a try on a cold winter's evening. We rang and booked a table which was absolutely not necessary as we were the only people in the restaurant! The service from the charming gentleman couldn't be faulted but our main courses didn't arrive until 45 minutes after finishing our starter, hardly ideal if you are sitting in a deserted restaurant. The food was good and we especially liked the bread rolls and the lovely table settings. We live locally and think perhaps they should promote the restaurant to drum up a few more customers. Sorry it only rates an average score on this occasion.

Adult family lunch for 6 on Saturday 10th March.

We decided to book here for a Sunday birthday lunch having really enjoyed Mothers Day lunch here last year.

A delicious meal from start to finish. The bread rolls were lovely, the smoked salmon starter was divine and the wagu steak was cooked to perfection. Really recommend this brasserie and will definitely be going back.

We ate here as a family of four, having read great reviews and living very close to it.

We had a terrific meal here, I only wish we’d found it sooner! Super tasty food with a South African slant, the menu although reassuringly not vast was imaginative and I was unusually spoilt for choice. The wine list has wines from their own vineyard in SA and also plenty of other choices. The service was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive and I was pleased that the food took enough time to arrive to prove it was prepared freshly to order. While this isn’t a cheap restaurant I would’ve expected to pay more for food of this quality. Pleasant ambience, all in all highly recommended!

A fantastic meal with brilliant service. Our waiter really made it fun. The food was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. It wasn’t cheap, 3 course meal for 4 with 2 bottles of wine was £200, but we all agreed it was excellent value.

We came here on Saturday for a bite to eat on date night. We were greeted and shown to our table by a waiter which was in a cozy room through to the back of the property, we were sat at a table right next to an open fire which was ideal in this weather.

We previously booked for 2-weeks but disappointingly the restaurant cancelled due to a clash with a wine tour which meant "you wouldn't receive the service [we] deserve"...thankfully we found somewhere else for that same evening; Chequers at Rowhook which is fab.

First time we have visited as the Brasserie and we enjoyed a very pleasant evening, very good food and service, nice ambience.

Visited with friends with whom we've shared quality dining over many years in many different countries and we all agreed this is one of the best meals we've enjoyed. Food, wine and service all excellent.

An excellent meal stylish presented with outstanding and informative service. A welcome addition to the restaurants in the Horsham area!

This restaurant is in a pretty setting, overlooking the rolling fairways of Mannings Heath golf club, which instantly creates a pleasant atmosphere. Also, the Spike Bar and outside patio area, both good for pre-dinner drinks, have been renovated to a high standard. The main bar was undergoing the same transformation when we were there. There were delicious wines to choose from, allowing for great matching with the food. The chef certainly knows how to create wonderful dishes, obviously using very fine ingredients. The scallops, for starter, were the best I have tasted for a long while and as for mains, I could not fault the tender, tasty Sussex lamb. The same high standard is maintained with the deserts such as the crème brûlée and not forgetting the cheese board, with its range of artisan cheeses. The food is all about quality rather than quantity but we were not left at all hungry. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly.

Stunning food impeccably served in a beautiful setting ... decor not to my taste but the table exquisitely presented, food was delicious, lovely views and the service was outstanding

I recently had an excellent fine dining experience at the Benguela Brasserie, part of the Mannings Heath Golf Club. I have dined at many establishments, but cannot recall any that provided such superb food and service. Thoroughly recommended to anyone who wishes to experience fine dining at its best.

Don't tell anyone about how good this place is - they will all want to go!

We only came because a friend bought us 1 round of golf and my wife does not play so we booked to have a evening meal for 2

We visited Benguela on a Thursday lunchtume for my 30th birthday. What an amazing meal!! I am a vegetarian and for the first time in a long time didn't feel like an afterthought (in a primarily non veggie establishment). The food was absolutely delicious, ethically sourced and the view out over the terrace beautiful. On top of all of this, the service was phenomenal. We were so well looked after, nothing was too much, and the advice regarding the food and wine was spot on! A huge thankyou to Benguela, and an equally large thankyou to Gabriel. You are all awesome! X

I booked the brasserie for my boyfriends birthday dinner as we were staying in West Sussex for the weekend. The food was amazing but the waitress who served us was the cherry on top (I'm so sorry I didn't catch her name) but she was very attentive and friendly and even let us taste the wine before we picked. I would really recommend this restaurant for an intimate dinner in beautiful settings.

Dinner on a (quiet) Thursday night. The Brasserie is a step up from the better Gastro Pubs in the area (e.g. the best - The Cat / West Hoathly). Small, intimate, excellent views over the golf course. Small, but, limited menu, excellent food (quality, preparation, & presentation), with attentive service, & competitively priced. "House" wine, (Benguela Cove Pinot Noir '15) outstanding value at £19 per bottle. What is there not to like. Was our first time there & certainly won't be our last. Well worth a visit.

We have booked this Venue several times now, for large family gatherings and just us and a couple of friends. Apart from the main dining area we particularly like the facility to book the adjacent small and intimate dining rooms. The service has always been excellent , the cuisine of the highest standard and all at most reasonable cost.

Really enjoyed our family meal here, great Sunday roasts and tasty children's menu too. Service was slightly ad hoc, I got the impression the waitress was rather rushed off her feet and as a result we had menus left on the table, side plates not cleared etc. But it is a very small and insignificant criticism as the staff were very friendly and the food was really excellent.

Lovely lunch with my brothers - helped by an afternoon of sunshine which allowed us to sit on the patio overlooking the golf course. The staff were very attentive and polite especially Michelle. The food was delicious - I had the salmon for starters followed by the lamb which was superb, although I was full I opted for the chocolate orange mousse dessert and I'm glad I did, pure heavenly indulgence. The sommelier offered to go through the wines with us so we opted for glasses of wine rather than a bottle and all were great accompaniments the meal. We will definitely recommend this restaurant and are already planning our next visit. They should advertise more as it is sad that there were very few people there.

Great location for a restaurant with a terrace and country view. Service was attentive and efficient. The menu looked a bit safe; lamb, chicken, salmon etc but when it came it was beautifully cooked and presented and the desserts were equally good. We went for the South African wines by the glass which were high quality and good value. So all in a all a very nice and relaxing lunch.

We had a lovely evening with the food and service very good. I would recommend this to my friends as a very good brassiere to have an evening meal.

Civilised restaurant tucked away in an elegant room at the back of the Mannings Heath Golf Course club house. Bit of a march from the main entrance but everyone on the way seemed very pleased to see us!

Third visit this year and still impressed with the quality of the food which was excellent with a good choice. Staff extremely attentive and friendly, great selection of wines including from their own vinyard

Excellent fine cuisine accompanied by wonderful South African wines served by welcoming, smiling and attentive Gabriel. Setting in prestigious Golf Club Manning Heath in a relaxed atmosphere. A first class venue for fine food lovers enjoying a quiet and peaceful environment. We will be back for sure.

we went to the Benguela Brasserie for a 5 course tasting menu, it was really nice. I loved the food, the wine choice is very good and not expensive. The decor is with a south African note and very nice.

Had a really great evening at Benguela Brasserie after it was recommended by a friend. From the friendly front of house to the superb food, I was very impressed. The blue cheese sauce was to die for and the steak was cooked to perfection. Topped off with some excellent Benguela wine, I'll certainly be back for some more soon.

We visited for the first after seeing an advertisement in the Horsham Piazza Italia Programme, and so glad we did! Seemed very quiet when we arrived but we were welcomed immediately and shown into the intimate dining space. The quality, flavour and presentation of the food was excellent, for every course. The Benguela wine was also very good and everything was very reasonably priced.

Locals recommended we try newly opened Benguela Brasserie-Wow! Mannings Heath Golf club & (and now!) Wine estate under new ownership blew us over!

Very nice Sunday lunch - good quality food at sensible prices. Nice dining room overlooking the golf course. Some new serving staff meant service was a bit patchy but this was recognised by the restaurant manager who adjusted the bill slightly which was a nice touch.

A most enjoyable Sunday lunch, good food &service;, excellent staff. I look forward to my next visit.

As a member at Mannings Heath GC I was very keen to experience the new Brasserie dining offering and, if positive, encourage others to do so. Visited for a Friday lunch with my wife and found it to be thoroughly excellent - very attentive service, delicious food and good wine at a reasonable price (£40 a head for 3 courses and a bottle of wine) and, of course, in a lovely setting. It was sad that we were the only customers on the day of our visit but the management are well aware of this issue - so come on diners of Sussex - and especially members of MHGC - get out there and give the Benguela Brassie your support - you won't regret it!!

Visited again to see if the standard of food was still excellent, it was as good as last time, compliments to the chef and his team

Started with smoked salmon, mouth-wateringly delicious, partner had smoked makerel pâté with a fantastic horseradish ice cream and egg yolk purée, outstanding!

I went to this restaurant with family for an evening meal, the restaurant had a very intimate atmosphere and the service was brilliant and attentive. The food was a pleasant surprise, from the freshly baked roll to the perfectly cooked steak. The wine accompanied the meal perfectly, Benguela Cove wine is definitely one to remember!

Really great dinner. Service was excellent and food was the best we have had in a while, the 28 cover restaurant is very intimate and provides a lovely dining experience. Would recommend to everyone and definitely be back again soon. Well done Mannings Heath. The Merlot and the Shiraz were both sublime too. All round fantastic evening.

Immaculate furniture, furnishings and countryside views. The food choice was very good and quality of our choices was excellent (lemon sole and ribeye steak for mains). Presentation of food was very good without being "over the top" and staff were friendly and attentive without being invasive. For the overall quality, prices were extremely reasonable compared with other local restaurants.

We had an excellent Sunday lunch in a private room. The service was great and the price very reasonable.

We ate with friends for Sunday lunch. Two courses both very nice, and roast beef as ordered, nice and rare and tasty! Friendly staff and good service. The only blight, around £13 for a large(ish) glass of red wine. Will definitely return.

We had Sunday lunch at the Benguela Brasserie last weekend. The whole experience was fantastic...! The service was excellent from both front of house and from our waiter/waitress. The food was very very good. Good quality ingredients, well cooked and very well presented. The kid’s menu was perfect and our kids ate the lot, and their 2 course meal was exceptional value at £6.95 pp.

We used to visit Mannings Heath regularly until some 6 or 7 years ago when it went seriously downhill. A member of our party attended a work related day recently and was very impressed with the food provided, discovering there had been a change of ownership. We decided to have a triple family birthday celebration Sunday lunch there and booked a private room. We had a variety of choices for all 3 courses. What more can I say.... . every morsel was perfect, fantastically presented, beautifully cooked, with our personal preferences adhered to. The staff were knowledgeable and, without exception, professional and charming. Beautiful setting and plenty of car parking. Can't wait to return. A day to remember! Thank you to the staff and chefs for giving us such a very happy day!

I'd been awaiting the opening of the restaurant with much interest, so it was a lovely surprise to be taken here to try the 7-course tasting menu on Valentine's night. A really interesting and well-balanced menu, each course was beautifully presented, with delicious flavours perfectly matched to one of the Benguela Estate wines. My stand-out dish was the grilled asparagus & artichoke hearts with rocket & fig pesto, and the fillet of very local venison (food metres rather than miles!) was cooked perfectly and melt-in-the-mouth tender. Pair this with relaxed, but attentive service and a cosy ambience and they're onto a real winner here. I can't wait to return!

Smart, efficient and friendly restaurant - attentive service, great food (traditional with a twist - ox cheek a particular success!). Will definitely be paying many a return visit.

I attended the restaurant on a Friday night and had the mussels to share as a starter! They were huge and delicious with an amazing sauce that I could of had on it's own as a soup! For mains we had the rib eye and the ox cheek! The steak was cooked perfectly to order and the ox cheek was full of flavour (1st try of ox cheek and it didn't disappoint). The entire experience was great, with attentive staff looking after us throughout the meal. It was capped off by the chef coming to our table to see how everything was which was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves good food!

Situated within the Mannings Heath Golf club the Benguela Brasserie is tastefully furnished and a good setting for lunch or dinner.

First visit to Benguela Brasserie,there was four of us the service was excellent as so was the food my starter was fish soup which was delicious we all had Roast beef all cooked perfectly.

We have dined there before and not impressed but our return on Saturday evening was an amazing change.

There is no doubt that this will be one of the best dining experiences in and around the Horsham area, and for many years to come. Locally Tristans, The Pass or The Camellia are established restaurants Mannings Heath Golf Club and Wine Estate can boast an equally fine dining venue "The Brasserie".

This is really worth checking out. I am a member at the golf club and was a little sceptical about the new restaurant but it exceeded my expectations on all levels. The food, wine and service was really superb, and I think great value. I will be back soon!

Fantastic evening, food was lovely and the wine choices excellent. Benguela Brasserie is well worth a visit, if you would like to go somewhere different around Horsham. Great value too.

This is one of the best places I've been for food and service the food is a1 the service was a1 the wine was a1 I can't find on fault with this place I will be a regular customer 😊

Great evening with wonderful food and drinks!!! The tree of treats at the end was a lovely touch. Good value for the quality of produce and cookery. Love it and will be back soon.

Really enjoyed our visit to the new Benguela Brasserie.

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely meal in the newly opened Benguela Brasserie situated in Mannings Heath Golf Club.

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner with friends in this newly opened Brasserie within the Mannings Heath Golf & Wine Estate. You'll find this restaurant on the outskirts of Horsham, West Sussex. The Brasserie itself is a very inviting, tastefully decorated room that had a lovely open log fire on the evening we visited. The food, that is locally sourced was of a very high standard and beautifully presented. The wines were from the Benguela Cove Wine Estate in South Africa and complimented our meals perfectly. Even although this is a very newly opened Brasserie, the staff were extremely professional and friendly, led by Phil, the restaurant Manager. They were all happy to guide us through the menu and wines. We shall certainly be coming back here in the future to sample more lovely food and wine!
