Winter 2024

Winter on the farm, for us a Sussex farming family means time together.

In Winter the countryside goes quiescent, a time for Dad and Grant to trim the hedges and plan the future crops for the following year.  The cows snuggle down in barns and the chickens go to bed early!

Winter is a time to spend having brunch with family, or a Sunday Roast.  The Butler’s Pantry Farm Kitchen is doing Winter Brunch Sharing Platters in the Stables café and Sunday Roast Platters to share as a family, as well as their very popular Supper Club Tasting Menus in The Sussex Barn.  We have Festive Night and Fish Night in December, Game night in January, featuring our local estate game and also some games for the evening and a blind tasting menu for February 14^th where if you guess the most ingredients and matched wine, your meal is free!

The Dove’s Playbarn is at it’s best this time of year, as many of us struggle to entertain the little ones in the wet and cold weather.

Latchett’s ice cream can still be enjoyed if you have to eat it with an extra layer of clothing on! Don’t forget to order your Christmas Gelato Yule logs from Latchett’s in advance for Christmas, they are extremely popular for a good reason and are certainly a family favourite at our house both Christmas Day and Boxing Day!

The Woodland Walk, Campsite and Frisbee Golf are now CLOSED for the Winter.
