Restaurant
Our English Restaurant is located on the ground floor, easily accessible and close to the modern bar. The lighting is more intimate than bright and intrusive, ideal for an intimate relaxed meal. We have three distinct areas of seating.
The menu both online and in the Restaurant reflects that we use fresh locally sourced ingredients at every possible opportunity. Our wines from from as far as Australia and as close as Charles Palmer vineyards 30m from our front door.
The term “Of the day” can be misunderstood, at Winchelsea Lodge when we say “Soup of the Day” we mean that we refuse to use ingredients that are not at their best, and since we have deliveries every day we order enough to give you a choice. Examples of current “Soup of the day” are listed below
Spiced Pumpkin soup
Leek, & potato soup
Carrot & coriander soup
Broccoli & stilton soup
Tomato and Sweet chilli
Tomato and Basil
We cannot say which will be available when you visit but hope you appreciate that we take food seriously.
