Celebrate summer at Heckfield Place
This gorgeous country pile, owned by HongKong businessman Gerald Chan, opened its doors to eager guests last Autumn.
To celebrate summer, Heckfield Place has now opened the Sun House, its new seasonal restaurant, led by culinary director, Skye Gyngell.
Set in a light-filled, glasshouse the Sun House is open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the summer.
The menus focus on Heckfield-grown vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs, all collected from the estate and Heckfield’s 16-acre biodynamically-principled Home Farm, as well as its Market Garden and Orchard set just yards away.
Situated in 400 acres of pastoral land just an hour from London, the sustainability-focused hotel lures patrons from the capital by redefining the expectations and standards of a country house hotel.
From the modern Ben Thompson interiors that cleverly blend relaxed rural living with classic luxe style to the masterfully pared-back menus of chef Skye Gyngell, Heckfield Place has an accessible glamour that puts visitors at ease in the grand surroundings.
In addition, Heckfield has curated The Assembly – a year-long programme of cultural events guaranteed to be popular with inquiring minds.
