Wingrove House in Wealden

Fantastic place. Lovely room. Smart luxury decor. Loved the choice of tea and coffee with a nice addition of macaroons. Would stay here again attentive staff. Lovely food, plenty of choice off the breakfast menu.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Spot on in every respect. The view from my bedroom window that I woke up to on Sunday morning (attached) was breath-taking. Service genuinely 5 stars.

Celebrated a special family birthday at this gorgeous place. The first time visiting it for all of us. The food was sublime, the ambience just perfect and all the staff so attentive and kind. We were fortunate enough to be able to enjoy the private dining room which added a little something to the occasion. A great experience for us all and definitely a place to revisit!

Chose this because of the good reviews for afternoon tea but were left disappointed. The good bits: amazing venue and location, good parking, beautiful weather, a very good start. Seated in nice plush room looking out over quaint garden terrace. The waiter constantly whining loudly about his colleagues and the rota kinda spoiled the ambiance. The “sparkling local wine” could have been anything, we were not shown the bottle and I could have been drinking Tesco Prosecco? The arrival of the afternoon tea was unceremonious but looked grand. The scones, which other reviews had declared as the best in the uk, tasted like they had been made the day before and left to dry on the radiator. One small pot of a creamy margarine substance was not enough to moisten these medieval and hefty creatures. It was quite an effort to get through. The sandwiches were very good, the bread was fantastic and I’d guess home made or from a local bakery? The rest we had to box up as the scones had defeated our appetite. The tea was very good and we were given another pot of the dubious margarine (it wasn’t butter, it wasn’t cream, it wasn’t clotted cream, I seriously don’t know what it was?) when we asked for it. £111 including service and “sparkling something” for 3 is not extortionate but there is room for improvement.

Exemplary cooking and service - the opposition in Alfriston is challenging but this restaurant was superb - all the courses were delicious and well cooked as were all the accompanying vegetables. Well done - we had a fabulous experience!

Beautiful surroundings, excellent service and very delicious well priced food. A hidden gem in this beautiful place.

We stayed here for one night but the night we did stay was absolutely lovely. The staff were great, the room was a good size and the restaurant was absolutely incredible. The food was delicious, it gave me a chance to try oysters for the first time (which were given for free after our starter) which I probably wouldn't have ever tried off my own back but they were great. The dessert was amazing and the pricing was very reasonable. The bed was probably one of the comfiest we've stayed in in a hotel. Will definitely be back.

Had a very good mid week lunch at Wingrove House. Menu seasonal, fresh and well prepared. Good wine selection. Both wine and food were good value , mid range prices. All staff friendly and efficient. Dining room was well laid out, spacious , looking out onto a terrace and lawn area. Very pleasant experience, would definitely return. Highly recommend

Good food, excellent service, nice atmosphere and lovely garden 🪴 Small menu but everything was delicious, highly recommend if your in Alfriston best place we have eaten

An absolutely beautiful hotel. It was a very brief visit arriving at midnight and left after breakfast. Room was stunning only criticism the room next door is an office so got woken up at 0645. Staff are all very lovely. Full English was delicious other things on the menu pancakes, kippers plus more and pastries, yoghurt and cereals. Would have been nice to sit and have a glass of wine on arrival after a gruesome journey but bar is not open 24 hours. Will definitely return.

Very good food and service but a little pricey. Lovey table overlooking the South Downs. Would definitely dine there again.

A lovely hotel with friendly staff. Good rooms and food. Very handy for Glyndebourne.

Proximity to Opera at Glyndebourne was key. Lovely late 19c building with no lift but the best bathroom my wife has seen in the south of England. Delicious cooked breakfasts. Quaint shops in Alfriston. Rambles of any distance along the south Down Way just out the back door.

Nice clean room and bathroom bed was very comfortable, our room didn't have aircon so not sure how hot it would be I the summer. All the staff we are fine and the breakfast was good.

Absurd duur. Lang gewacht op drinken en we betaalde 24 pond voor 1 glas wijn en 1 tap bier. Niet in verhouding. De wijn was lekker, het bier was moretti, dus oké maar niet bijzonder.

Warmly welcomed, elegant dining room with views of the Tye. Very nice decor and not pretentious. Staff delivered excellent service, start to end. Food was extremely tasty, beautiful presentation. Limited but excellent starters, my terrine was super and the other dishes went down well . The roasts were actually very generous, every element delicious, and best I've had for ages. Wasn't as busy as I'd expected, but we ate at early sitting. Two of us had desserts which I had thought pricy, but the quality and portion side made them an excellent choice, the rum n raisin creme brulee a delight and enough to share. Very satisfied and would highly recommend, their private dining room looked splendid. Wine list was fairly expensive, but good. Waiting staff made us welcome and well attended to. Good job!

Truly truly beutiful and very scenic surroundings. The food 1st class The staff 1st class The afternoon with oatt of the family 1st class. Thank you, Wingrave House, can't wait to see you again soon.

Zeer lekker eten, voldoende keuze. Zeer goede bediening, vriendelijke mensen. Zeer leuk en gezellig decor. 1 minpuntje: dit is sowieso geen goedkoop restaurant, maar ter plaatse bleek dan nog dat de online menukaart achterhaald was en dat de prijzen van een aantal gerechten en wijnen nog aanzienlijk hoger lagen.

Lovely celebration Sunday lunch. Delicious food, the roasts were so tasty and lovely starters and puddings. Couldn't fault the food. Good service, nice and friendly and they really looked after us.

Very delicious food, excellent friendly service, extremely pleasant and roomy restaurant. Couldn't fault it in any way.

We had a lovely evening, the food was delightful. A star service from Georgia and her team. There was no pressure to hurry up and finish, the restaurant itself is well presented and not packed to the rafters, and overall I thoroughly recommend Wingrove House. We will definitely be revisiting.

Belle adresse Service attentionné Beaux et bons plats préparés avec soin et très goûteux. Cuisson parfaite Tarifs en rapport Salle agréable avec de l'espace

After a pleasant morning visiting the nearby NT property and the church on the Tye we took a look at this one for a light lunch, primarily because we were blessed with a fine weather day and they have a very nice outside patio area with some tables overlooking they Tye. Spotted they had an afternoon tea on the menu so we went for one of these to share between the two of us plus an additional tea and it was just right. Very good warm scones and very fresh sandwiches. Good service levels from the two guys working the lunchtime shift, so this one worked for us for a lunch break. Plus when I asked our waiter which of the four of the village pubs I should visit for a pint of ale, I later couldn’t fault his suggestion of the George either.

Fabulous food, wonderful staff, lovely atmosphere, would highly recommend. Good choice of food and beverages.

What a lovely evening! Delightful venue to walk into. Welcomed warmly for our dinner booking. Husband and I had a really great experience from beginning to end. Fabulous amuse bouche and 2 delicious starters of asparagus with a breadcrumbed egg and prawns on toasted bread with a delicious sauce. Then we had the lamb rump with accompanying vegetables and honeyed heritage carrots. They surely have some talented chefs in the kitchen. Everything was served beautifully, presented well and at a good pace. Nice wine and a good wine list. This is a gem! Thoroughly recommend.

Had an outstanding meal here last night. Excellent, friendly host. Food cooked to perfection. Beautiful environment. Would highly recommend.

We have not eaten here for several years as we were not impressed. Yesterday we decided to give it another try as the menu looked interesting. What a change! The food was wonderful and so were the staff. The chef was so accommodating for one person in the party who has dietary problems. We are already checking our dates so that we can return for another meal. Keep up the good work and no doubt your business will thrive, we have already been telling friends to pay you a visit.

We visited for my Wife's birthday celebration.The service,the ambience and the food could not be faulted.We had a lovely meal that we will remember for a very long time.Many thanks to all concerned!!!

Thankyou so much Georgia for making our small wedding so special. You co-ordinated everything so well and all the staff were friendly and brilliant with their service. The food was amazing and we really couldn't have asked for more :) Thanks again. I really hope more people have their wedding at the Wingrove because I can't think of a better place :)

We had high expectations of this restaurant when it was recommended by friends, we were not disappointed, the food was excellent, tender filet of beef and melt in the mouth lamb rump. The service however was another story the restaurant appeared to be run by sixth formers with no adult supervision, while the head boy strutted around doing very little

We’ve been dining at The Wingrove for over 15 years and sadly feel that the experience has recently become rather lack-lustre. Whilst the pricing is in line with several other Sussex restaurants holding Michelin rating, our experience fell short. Being open to the Terrace, I found the room cold and although the ambiance of candlelight is always welcomed, it was a little dark. It needs more candles or supplementary lighting. The wooden dining tables are permanently sticky - presumably owing to sanitising products adversely affecting the polished/varnished surface. Following COVID, this is not unique to The Wingrove but it is very unpleasant and, at ‘fine dining’ prices, needs addressing. I resorted to using my napkin as a tablecloth which, if introduced in lieu of bare wood, would immediately remedy the issue. The Bello Tramonto was too sweet for a Pinot Grigio and, at £27 a bottle (an almost 300% mark-up on current wholesale price of £6.99) I expected something more drinkable. Having drunk better ‘plonk’, we didn’t order a second bottle as is typical for us and, in the apparent absence of any discernment in the wine sourcing, we certainly weren’t going to risk paying more than this. On a chilly September evening, I didn’t relish the concept of the vegan Chilled Tomato Consommé. Nor did I fancy ‘Egg with Hollandaise’ as a dinner option so opted for some Flint Owl Sourdough Bread. It would have been nice if a choice/combination of white or brown had been offered as brown sourdough is not to everyone’s taste. With ‘Crostini’ by definition meaning toasted bread, my husband was disappointed that his ‘Gambas Crostini’ was another slice of the same sourdough reduced to a soggy mush served underneath the sauce rather than sitting crisply on the side. My Roasted Cauliflower Steak with lentils, spiced harissa hummus and roasted garlic mash was plentiful and tasty if a little pricey at £18. My extra side portion of Tenderstem Broccoli was equally generous. At £9, however, I felt the selection of three Sussex Cheeses was a little ungenerous and uninspired - the cheddar-style just tasted ‘old’ and was hard and slightly sweaty as if left standing in a warm kitchen. I personally dislike the currently fashionable, uber-thin ‘biscuits’ that are as tasteless as the Eucharist wafers that they resemble. They lent nothing to an already dreary cheeseboard. When asked by obliging staff whether everything was okay with our £163 meal, there really wasn’t anything to be gained by upsetting them with an honest account, particularly within earshot of other diners who may have been thoroughly enjoying their experience. To my mind, these are all issues that could/need to be addressed by management before customers even enter the restaurant.

We booked last minute and were able to get a table outside The service was a little slow and a big delay getting drinks and for plates to be cleared, the food however was excellent and we would visit again

You will need you’re very small appetite and your very big wallet to enjoy this place. You will also need a runner to get your drinks as staff are so inattentive. You’ll need a torch and a magnifying glass to find your food, and if you’re drinking wine you will need to take a decent glass as ‘they’re the only ones we’ve got’! The four of us had…… 2 g&t’s, 2 fish mains (£29 for lemon sole) 1 chicken and 1 lamb main. 1 x£35 bottle of Spanish plonk. 4 average puds and 2 coffee’s that we sent back!!! Grand total… Two hundred and eighty pounds, yes, £280.00! I suppose we could have made it cheaper with the veggie option of ‘cauliflower steak’ for the knock down price of £18 !!! Fine dining it ain’t! Got home and needed a sandwich! Never again!

This was our first port of call for a post lockdown meal as we love this restaurant. Lovely food, great location, attentive staff. Yet again we had an amazing meal, and we cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. It's popularity was borne out by them being full ( socially distanced). We will be going again next month, and recommend it to all our friends. When choosing where to take our friends for a 60th birthday, this is where we have booked. You will not regret a trip there, so pleased they made it through lockdown...

We went to Wingrove House for a tea and coffee as the place is walking distance from where we stayed. Place is lovely, and we had a glimpse of the newly renovated wing of the hotel, it’s located right in the middle of Alfriston Village. We will come back and try Wingrove for a weekend break.

A very mediocre Sunday lunch that failed to live up to the expectation of the high price tag. I've had much better elsewhere at the same price. It was nice to sit outside, thanks to the good weather. The interior looked distinctly drab and would not have tempted us to choose this place if outside were not an option. Staff were very friendly and the service was good: shame about the food !

We were staying next door at Dean's Place Hotel but thought this menu looked more interesting and we weren't disappointed. The waitresses were all friendly and very efficient. We sat outside under a heater on the terrace and were perfectly warm enough despite the cool evening. Food was well prepared and very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

We booked an evening meal here as we were staying locally. There was plenty of choices as to where to eat ( inside / outside). The menu was very exciting and food did not disappoint. I had duck for my main with cherries and my husband had cauliflower steak, both were excellent. The food was well presented and very well cooked. Portion size was right for us and there was a extensive wine list. The dining room was well spaced out, service wasn’t brisk, but this didn’t matter. The restaurant was busy, this is a good sign in current climate.

Went to Alfriston for coffee. Badgers being closed for the week me and my friend ended up in The Wingrove. Arrived at 11:30 and asked for a cappuccino, an americano and 2 scones. We were informed that scones would not be ready until 12:00. So we said we would wait. Although we only asked for a scone they brought us 2 very small scones each with butter and jam. The bill for this came to £25. We were charged for afternoon tea. Certainly the most expensive coffee and scone I ever had and probably will ever have again. Totally disgusted and will never go back again.

We sat outside due to the warmer weather and patio heaters. Very nice. Inside is lacking in atmosphere and unwelcoming. If we had to sit inside we would of gone elsewhere. Food was lovely. We had the Duck. The waitress was very polite and excellent service

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending an evening and a night at The Wingrove. I had booked it as a surprise for a belated anniversary celebration, and the hotel didn’t disappoint. Set at the edge of the cosy little village of Alfriston, we were immediately charmed by the hotel and it’s setting. Our room was beautifully decorated, tasteful and classy, as was the bathroom, which was very modern and clean. We had dinner on the evening of our arrival, the dining room was warm, spacious and very tastefully decorated. The food and wine were excellent, and the staff were very attentive. I will definitely be paying the Wingrove another visit.

This was an enjoyable dining experience. The food is that sort of modern, Continental fare, and the wine list contains some great local wines (from Rathfinny), which is always appreciated when you are visiting. Probably its weakest spots are the ones expectable for a restaurant that belongs to a hotel. The atmosphere is lacklustre, and for diners who are not staying at the hotel, finding the entrance can be a bit awkward.

So lovely to see such a creative menu at the Wingrove. Caters for all types, lots of vegan and vegetarian options, such as garden risotto and a puy lentil and aubergine salad. Lots of fresh fish options too and caught even a sharing cote de beuf is available! You can choose your sides and sauces with plenty to choose from Chimchurri sauce, green crunchy celery & apple salad and home cooked chips.

Terrible experience from start to finish. Husband reserved table a week in advance for my 50th birthday. But there was no table reserved and no apology to boot. Eventually we were taken to a table. My birthday wish was that we had gone elsewhere. Service was rude, reluctant and random, food was bland, chips saturated with oil and overcooked to crisps and had a hair in them. I do not want to continue as it is upsetting me. This place is let down by untrained staff and lack of leadership. Enter at your peril unless you are easily pleased and indifferent to bad service.

We stayed in the hotel for two nights, and had two breakfasts and two dinners. The service could best be described as chaotic at one dinner and one breakfast, which spoilt the experience. Unsure why this happened - about the same numbers each time, the breakfast waitress said that it was because everyone had arrived at once, though we were all asked to book our breakfast time. Staff were, however, courteous and friendly. The food was mostly imaginative, and - where plain - well cooked and served. Two exceptions: halved cherry tomatoes do not make a 'tomato salsa' and failed to provide the necessary contrast to the avocado butter starter; and the house green salad with celery and apple turned out to be watercress with cucumber and rather a lot of spring onion, which was a bad combination, quite bitter. It feels as though it would be a bit of a risk to go again, especially for a special occasion.But i have still given it four stars; with more reliable service and the attention to menu changes noted above, it would indeed tay at four, maybe even five.

I don't often find myself writing reviews for restaurants, but after my family's experience of Wingrove House recently I felt obliged to share my thoughts and feelings about it.We went for Sunday Lunch and there were two choices of roast available, lamb or beef accompanied by a small portion of peas, carrots and cauliflower cheese and a Yorkshire pudding. But no potatoes... If you wanted potatoes you were encouraged to choose from a list of side options available for an additional £3.50. I didn't take up this offer but my brother-in-law and mother did, both to be massively disappointed when 3, rather anaemic looking roast potatoes were slumped on their plates. I am a little bit suspicious that they are engaging in some underhanded profiteering by purposefully removing an integral part of main meals, almost forcing you to order it for an additional fee in the name of 'greater choice'. Funnily enough I saw that on their regular menu, you can order both a burger and fish and chips, but chips aren't actually included! When it comes to drinks, they also suffer from chronic overpricing. £6 for a pint of beer! And this beer isn't a locally sourced artisan crafted drink, but a generic beer you can find on the shelf of your local supermarket or on tap at the pub.The staff while friendly are not smartly dressed for the setting - just in blue jeans with their phones in their back pockets. Overall the service was slow, but I got the impression they were understaffed - taking 2 hours to receive 3 courses. At one point in the meal, I heard the following shouted loudly from the kitchen 'Oh F*** off'. Thankfully much to the embarrassment of one of the staff behind the bar only I heard it. However its not really something you expect to hear at any restaurant. When it comes to their coronavirus prevention measures, the only thing I could gauge that was done was that the tables were separated. No hand sanitiser, no masks or gloves for the staff, no track and trace forms to fill out. Very poor and perhaps even dangerous. And that brings me to the end really, an extremely disappointing and overpriced restaurant that has certainly lost its appeal and charm.

This is one of our favourite restaurants to visit for a special treat but our experience yesterday was disappointing. The hotel was fully booked which in the current climate is very encouraging but there was No where to park at all , we had to use the car park at the other end of the village. The staff while friendly are not smartly dressed just in blue jeans with their phones in their back pockets , service was very slow , I sat with an empty glass for a long time , the menu now includes a burger and fish and chips and no sides are included , food was ok , it’s just not what you expect from this class of restaurant. We did not stay for pudding or coffee we had sat there for long enough. Not sure if the staff where supposed to wear masks or not some did some didn’t ?

With some friends, I took a lunch at Wingrive House and I have to say the food was lovely and very tasty. The service was good and all the location was very clean. I would recommend Wingrove House for good value for what you receive.

Food excellent, wine great, ambiance lovely, service inattentive and slow. Pity! We have been several times and the food never disappoints, but whether the kitchen is slow delivering or the waiting staff is slow to present....

Our hosts recommended this restaurant and we had a delightful Sunday Lunch. The food was exceptional and the ambience of Wingrove House added to an excellent experience. Can’t wait to return.

Had a lovely valentines dinner here accompanied by a really great jazz trio (simply standards). For the main I had a delicious duck with dauphinois potatoes and for dessert a rich chocolate tart that I loved. Highly recommend, the band provided a very nice atmosphere. Will be back.

we met up with some friends at this restaurant a few days ago, lovely setting, beautiful decor, but the food was extremely disappointing, and far too expensive for what it was, the whole place was empty and the only person we saw was a waitress who was very polite and helpful - such a shame the food was really very poor

We went for Sunday lunch and were disappointed at the decline in this once charming restaurant. My husband the beef, the quality of the meat and also the portion were sadly diminished. I had the fish that was dry and overcooked I am afraid the Wingrove has lost its sparkle

Billed as fine dining is a bit questionable.The prices are close to fine dining but the food is not.Decor very odd. Quite random. I feel sorry for the cleaner.Service was ok. The whole meal just lacked finesse. The taste combinations seemed odd too. Can't quite explain it...maybe we did not pick a good night. I would like to return in warmer weather and sit outside and try the lunch menu.

we stayed in the hotel but went out during the day. So we ate there only morning and evening and had no complaints. But the evening meals were not cheap. Friendly staff made the whole experience even better and we liked the choice of music - mostly 70's!

Silly money for a slightly above average meal. That’s the perfect description for the experience we had. My partner and I went to the restaurant for dinner and found the experience very disappointing. The starters were very small and yes they were nice, but nothing so special or unique to justify the price. They’ve asked if we wanted some bread with it but never specified that we were going to be charged £5 for two slices.The main again were fine but nothing really special and again very expensive. For a pint of beer they charged £6. Wow I have never seen anything like that before. It wasn’t an artisan special edition to justify the price, just a pint of normal beer.I certainly do not recommend it to anyone unless you intentionally want to be ripped off.

Lovely food but the atmosphere was cold not inviting too open plan, good service by all the lovely staff, very clean will be returning when i a larger party. would recommend good value for what you receive.

My husband and I decided to have Sunday lunch here. We had not been to the Wingrove for a couple of years but used to eat there very often.

We have regularly used the restaurant over the yearsfor family get togethers & special occasions & have always been impressed by the high standards,quality of the food & the general atmosphere.Our visit last week was however decidedly average.The menu now lacks the excellent choices it previously had & is now more like a grill menu.No bread was put on the table,as before & the lighting as it was set was less than welcoming.It was all the little touches that made it special.The steak was really good but only served with frozen chips & the pork chop was one third fat.Desserts are excellent.The person in charge was friendly but his scruffy jeans would be better suited in a pub.It was busy with people staying in the hotel who were presumably on a deal with dinner & perhaps would have been happy with how things now are.At £45 a head for 2 courses with a couple of glasses of wine each it should be a lot better.Perhaps the new owners are not too bothered,they never reply to any reviews.It would be good if they took on board the feedback,if so we will return.

Stayed there a few weeks ago. Hotel is very comfy, set in beautiful grounds in the lovely village of Alfriston and next to the famous church.

We have been regular patrons of Wingrove House for over a decade. However having chosen to follow a vegetarian diet in recent years (and striving to be vegan), it’s becoming impossible to find anything on the menu to eat.

In diesem Restaurant wächst der Appetit mit den Menüs: alles vom Feinsten. Frischer Fisch, feinstes Lamm, saftiges Steak, zartes Huhn, dazu vorzügliche Beilagen und eine bestens sortierte Weinkarte. Tipp: Probieren Sie bitte die weiße Cuvée vom Rathfinny Wine Estate, einem lokalen Weingut in Alfriston. Großartig und freundlich der Mann am Gast mit kompetentem Weinwissen: der liebenswerte Kane. Wir haben das Restaurant gleich zweimal besucht.

Attentive and friendly service, a good lunch, served with style. When the weather is suitable the terrace is ideal, if not the restaurant is charming. Highly recommended, will go again. There is a car park, which, in Alfriston, is handy.

It was the only place in Alfriston we could find to park so pleased we did. The restaurant has delightful outside seating in beautifully planted garden. The food was something else, we started with olives, 3 of us had summer soup, one of our party had a salad he voted the best salad he had ever had. There was obviously a top chef on hand.

We had a wonderful evening with friends last night at Wingrove House. The atmosphere was great and the staff just spot on! We were surprised to read previous comments about the service. We could not disagree more! We all felt that they were attentive and not intrusive.

I have been to the Wingrove several times in the evening and have always found the food to be very good.Unfortunately the lunchtime menu was not only strange it lacked imagination and was quite bland.Frankly,I know the Wingrove is better than this and it would be a disservice to not bring to their attention.The upside is that the staff are polite and the restaurant and gardens relaxing and well laid out.The toilets are now beginning to look tired and the dark tiles and Bristan taps,ubiquitous 15 to 20 years ago hint that fresh eyes are needed to keep the very good reputation the restaurant has.

You'll find the Wingrove House at the far end of the 'sleepy' village of Alfriston in the heart of the Sussex countryside. I say sleepy, but the village boasts 4 pubs that all look like they deserve investigating at some time in the future...

Have used this restaurant for years and will continue to do so. The staff are very nice but require a little more training in the art of high class service. This is not a cheap restaurant and the food is very good - the service is a bit amateurish.

Amazing evening,.. Service brilliant,nothing was too much trouble.We had sea bream and chicken for mains,desert was so good,chocolate and panna cotta,delicious. Big thanks to Kane,such a lovely manner and a credit to Wingrove House. Thanks so much. We can't wait to return.

We visited here for Father’s Day and the restaurant was rather empty which concerned us a little, we all ordered the Sunday Roast which was rather nice but you would expect it would be nice for the price your paying. A little bit annoyed when the bill came and we paid with card as the waitress just assumed we were paying the service charge and added it to the amount on the card machine, the service wasn’t that great as we kept on going out of our way to get drinks served..

I recently celebrated my 60th birthday with my family at the Wingrove. From the moment we arrived the service was brilliant and all the staff made us feel welcome considering we were quite a large party. Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail was fantastic even though the restaurant was busy.

Wir sind in diesem Hotel auf einem Südenglandtrip insgesamt 3 Nächte untergekommen. Das Haus lebt von einer liebevollen Ausstattung, seiner Individualität und dem sehr netten Personal. Das zugehörige Restaurant ist sehr gut und bietet eine Menge Atmosphäre und eine anständige Weinkarte. Frühstück ist ebenfalls top!

Sitting outside for lunch was pleasant but I felt that the restaurant had not maintained its quality since my visit over 4 years ago. The inside dining room has been considerably expanded giving a bland ambiance similar to many eateries rather than the cozy previous area. The service today was slow and delivered without style. The fish and chips tasted average whilst the Club Sandwich was heavy and predictable. It may have been an off day and I have given 4 stars as it was overall an enjoyable experience. However the quality of the cuisine needs to be improved to maintain a reputation for fine dining.

Went with friends on Easter Sunday as had been a number of times before with friends and family (including special birthdays) and had a wonderful time.

By far one of the best places to eat in Sussex! We spend there two nights for dinner. Very competent & friendly stuff, great affordable Wines and a talented creative Chef... we will return!

We stayed and ate here in March to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Food was really good and excellent value for money. Generous portion sizes particularly for the roast! The custard tart and rhubarb ice cream is highly recommended! The restaurant is nicely decorated and service was very good.

I took my partner to Wingrove last year for his birthday, during the really hot summer. We started our evening with drinks on the pretty terrace, then enjoyed two excellent courses (we can never manage three ...) in the light and spacious restaurant. Service was good. It was only our second visit to the Wingrove and it didn't disappoint. A great way to celebrate a birthday.

I was a little concerned at first because I had read some reviews about slow service due to being understaffed. I cannot comment on this because it was very quiet when I stayed and ate there so all I can comment on is the service I received and the service was first class.

My husband and me stumbled across this beautiful restaurant on Sunday after walking on Beachy Head. It was a last minute reservation, they fitted us in without any bother. Very pretty setting and great service. The food was excellent I would definitely recommend visiting if your in Alfriston. I had the chicken on a bed of leeks with celeriac mash and stroganoff sauce delicious, my husband opted for the roast lamb which was equally as good. Will be coming back soon, keep up the fabulous service.

The Wingrove is quite simply one of the best eateries in Sussex. The restaurant is very attractive as is the hotel and the food is perfectly cooked and delicious.

Went for dinner on Saturday night and the food never fails to impress. Service spot in even though they were busy with Christmas parties in. We had Soufflé and venison and salmon and belly pork all cooked to perfection. Bit disappointed though as they used to do a set price for 2 or 3 courses so made it excellent value for money, now everything priced individually.

After giving the wingrove 5 stars, i decided to come back and i wish i didnt.

We were overnight guests and ate in the restaurant, taking drinks in the Lounge beforehand as the bar in the restaurant is a service point only. The Gin menu is very good, featuring both Sussex and Kent plus further afield spirits and local premium tonics which we enjoyed,

We come here every year for our anniversary dinner and look forward to it every year. We’ve never had a bad experience, the food is divine and the service is faultless. Can not recommend more highly.

We celebrated a family birthday & were once again bowled over by the standard of the food & the lovely staff,nothing was too much trouble.It's not cheap but given how they deliver it's worth every penny.The house wines at £20 a bottle are really nice.

Went with friends and the location is wonderful. The service( on this occasion) so Im told was slow and a bit too laid back. The food however was not amazing venison - a must. The dessert menu included wonderful salted caramel cheesecake, sticky toffee which looked amazing and the ice cream had a lovely flavour.

Ideal tranquil location in Alfriston. Stayed in room 14 a truly unique medieval experience. A huge room with lots of exposed beams with lovely sunlight. If you stay the restaurant is very good but don't miss out on the local pubs all offering good food as well.

Came here for my birthday and i wasn't disappointed! We had 3 courses at very reasonable price. the food was absolutely delicious and cant wait to go back

Went to this lovely restaurant for my wife’s birthday. The dining room is very pleasant and open and modern. Could not fault the service and the food. Will definitely be back

Spent a short break here in reasonably comfortable room. Evening meal was very good with a limited 2 or 3 course set menu on offer. All ingredients were top notch from quality local suppliers. Steak came with a supplement and was superb. Chef clearly knows what he/she is doing.

We had a lovely evening at Wingrove. There were nine of us in the private dining area. Some of us had two courses, some three but everything was very nice. We had a good selection across the menu.

A very elegant restaurant in a very quaint village. The staff went out of their way to help us. They were responsive and well informed about the variety of items on the menu and especially comfortable making recommendations. Each of the three courses had several unique dishes all locally sourced. I found the escabeche of sardines and Gressingham duck were particularly good. The quality and taste of all the food was outstanding. Wingrove Is a must go to restaurant when you are nearby. I thought the private dining room would be a great place for a special family gathering.

Having been to Wingrove House before we looked forward to this return visit.

We have been to the Wingrove several times and always had a very good meal in a small quite room

Just recently have purchased vouchers for friends to dine here. Come my birthday and friends asked 'where would you like to eat?'. So here we were on Saturday night, sat outside on a barmy night, could have been abroad. Friendly waitress served us with drinks and menu. Asked if we would like to eat inside or out. The veranda was perfect.(when we left a wall heater was on for other diners). We ordered starters and main. Chicken livers with pineapple chilli jam, goats cheese, smoked salmon. Beautifully presented and tasty. Main - beef, lamb chosen. All locally sourced. Still room for pud - limoncello soufflé, cheesecake and cappuccino parfait. A wonderful evening. Live local but recommend an overnight stay.

We have been regular diners and lunch-goers here over the years, and I have always found the cooking to be near-faultless. On our latest visit, for lunch, the kitchen came out tops again.

Really underwhelmed... the waitress we were served by initially was in filthy trainers with a grubby apron on and couldn't have been less interested in us if she'd tried. We were the only ones in the restaurant when we arrived, but she was huffy and impatient with the children and they really weren't looked after at all well, not even so much as offered a drink and a menu on arrival along with the rest of us - this was a great disappointment as I had been in contact beforehand and asked if they were happy to cater for our 7 and 9 year olds. When I asked her about a menu she just said they could order from the main one, or they could do sausage and chips if there was nothing they wanted! I would really have rather been told that they'd rather we didn't bring the children, as we could have changed our plans and gone elsewhere, as they love the whole restaurant experience of choosing starters (there were none suitable) and ordering for themselves, and this really did ruin it for them. After an hour or so we were served by a different waitress, but she seemed to have a very similar attitude - neither seemed as though they wanted to be there.

What a pity you had to turn a special lunch venue into an ordinary one. Wanted to book for a special occasion only to find that lunch is now basically snacks, burger etc. Very very disappointing. Won’t be coming back.

Wir haben am Morgen bei Spaziergang durch das hübsche Dorf dieses Restaurant gesehen und spontan einen Tisch für das Abendessen reserviert. Die Menukarte hat eine vielseitige Auswahl und ist auch für Vegetarier geeignet. Das Rindsfilet (mit Angabe der Herkunft) und die Beilagen war sehr gut und genau auf medium gebraten.

We used to come here often, because it was that little bit special. It’s spacious so diners aren’t sitting on top of each other and you can enjoy a conversation without the normal noise in restaurants. There have been changes to the interior decoration and staff. The way we used to chat with the manager and staff, that seemed missing. We were given different menus, some from the previous day so that was a little annoying as some of the party chose food that wasn’t available! It was a shame there were no roaring fires as there was a real chill in the room that evening, although it was lovely looking out towards the church. There used to be nice little touches, such as reading glasses on the display cabinet in case someone forgot theirs, but I couldn’t see these (no pun intended!). The recipe for the bread must have been changed as it was very hard, as was the butter that was almost impossible to spread presumably having just been taken out of the fridge! I had the crispy belly of pork salad, followed by pan fried fillet of beef, the latter being melt in the mouth divine. I like how the menu tells you the source of food, much being locally sourced. This restaurant is £££ in my opinion as only one person had dessert and we only had wine by the glass. What made me absolutely furious was the automatic inclusion of a service charge being added to the bill. Tips should be completely at the discretion of the diners, not management as many feel happier deciding how good the service actually was, and to pay in cash thereby avoiding tax on tips! Very cross about that. Will we rush back? Probably not, I might give it one more chance but no time soon. I was told that the Wingrove was now being managed by the same as Treasure Island and the Beach Deck, so I was surprised by this, and I wonder if there has been a dilution of what used to be Wingrove charm! I hope not.
