The Cat Inn

Seasonal produce is at the heart of chef George Blogg's cuisine. Vegetables harvested from Gravetye Manor’s Victorian kitchen garden are at the heart of the gastronomic experience, served in the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant. The chef gives free rein to his imagination to create dishes that reflect the richness of the region.

The gardens of Gravetye Manor, considered among the most influential in English gardening history, have been subject to a vast restoration project since 2010.

In order to pay homage to the creative gardening style of William Robinson, creator of the Gravetye Manor gardens, the owners are carrying out important restoration work. The landscaping is being recreated using old photos and drawings from the period to retain its original style and proportions. Authentic Victorian greenhouses have already been reconstructed as well as a vast 6000m2 vegetable garden that provides the restaurant daily with fresh fruit, vegetables and other products.

Gravetye Manor is a truly enchanting place; both close to the pleasures of London, yet far from its hustle and bustle. This beautiful Elizabethan manor sits proudly amongst the winding pathways and abundant flower beds in the English natural and wild gardens created by William Robinson, the father of the English flower garden and a former owner of the estate. This quintessential English country house’s charm is evident in the wood-panelled sitting rooms with crackling log fires. All year round, the sweeping countryside views, first-class cuisine and attentive yet unobtrusive service ensure an unforgettable experience.
