Food at Whatley Manor bursts with flavour and originality with a choice of two dining experiences and two bars; perfect for an aperitif before lunch or dinner. The style is classical french with a modern interpretation using the very best ingredients. Both restaurants are overseen by 2 star Michelin chef Martin Burge.
‘The Dining Room’ delights all senses; deeply impressive from the tiny amuse bouches through to the plates laden with decadent petit fours, with multiple courses in between – every mouthful is utterly delicious.
