Hampton Manor

A public service announcement from our Bakery:

The bad news is, our bakery is closed this Saturday (Aug 31). But the good news? It's open as normal, Thursday, Friday and Sunday (from 9am until 12pm). And we're hearing unconfirmed rumours of cruffins and seasonal focaccia. Except on Saturday. When we're absolutely confident you will find nothing.

It's always been too long since a Sunday lunch, fro our restaurant Smoke. And if the whole party can't agree on roasts being a critical element to any Sunday, there's plenty of other choice.

Bookings for our newest workshop are now live — we're going foraging 🌼

Join renowned horticulturalist, journalist and author, Alys Fowler, for Foraging: the garden & beyond.

In this three hour workshop around the Hampton Manor estate, you’ll learn how to forage safely and ethically. The course will cover edible and folk medicine, plus uses of weeds and wild things, including leaves, seeds, roots and berries. Moving over to the cookery school, you’ll then learn how best to use and preserve these elements for the winter under Alys' expert guidance.

At 10am on Sat, Sept 21 find out more and book here: https://onlinebookings.alacer.co.uk/HamptonManor/OnlineBooking_Tickets/TicketBooking?_gl=1*76ufol*_gcl_au*MTEyMTgxNjE0Ni4xNzAzMDAzMTMz*_ga*MjA1MDU4NjUwMy4xNzAzMDAzMTMz*_ga_W909M72HX9*MTcwMzAwMzEzMy4xLjAuMTcwMzAwMzEzMy42MC4wLjA.&_ga=2.229499356.1508417401.1703003133-2050586503.1703003133 #/TicketType?ticketCategoryNo=1176

We'll be the first to admit we're entirely biased. But the current menu at Grace & Savour is simply a joy, from start to finish. Full of vibrancy, creativity and hugely accomplished (yet never showy) cooking, get in as soon as you humanly can to celebrate the abundance of the summer season and the fruits of an incredibly challenging year for farmers and makers. The end.

Introducing out summer staycations ☀️

This August, we're bringing back our two-night curated staycations, with space to rest, to discover and, of course, to delight the gourmand in you. Trade airport security for a foraging experience and gourmet BBQ on our terrace this summer.

What's included?

Check in at 3pm for an arrival drink, accompanied by cake and vinyl. An informal wine tasting is next on the agenda, before you head to the Manor terrace for a generous BBQ by way of night one's dinner. Expect plates like the team's barbecued beef brisket, with black garlic puree and beer battered onion rings, as well as yakitori chicken, with plenty of sides.

After a luxuriant night's sleep, enjoy a leisurely breakfast before getting some fresh air with a foraging taster workshop on day two. Lunch is a picnic prepped in the Manor House kitchen, inclusive of a good glug of Nyetimber. Choose your spot across the estate, or opt for a table and chairs if rustic is not your idea of a good time.

In the afternoon, relax in your individually designed bedroom, or wander the local area with help from our Field Guide before getting ready for dinner. You're eating a la carte at Stu Deeley's Smoke, and both the vine house and terrace spaces will be open if the weather is feeling friendly.

On day three, after breakfast, join our Meet the Maker tour—your backstage pass to the estate—before all too soon, it's time to say goodbye.
