MEET OUR CHEF DIRECTOR

A new chapter in The Woodcote’s kitchen

With more than fifteen years’ experience in Michelin-starred kitchens across Britain and Scandinavia, Chef Director Nathan Cornwell is shaping a new culinary chapter at The Woodcote, inspired by the landscape, the seasons and the finest local produce.

FOOD AND DRINK

Seasonal, ingredient-led cooking sits at the heart of The Woodcote, with menus shaped by the landscape, our Chef’s Garden and trusted local producers.

Beyond the dining room, The Woodcote Bar and The Woodcote Cellar bring the same considered approach to seasonal cocktails, wines and spirits.

OUR ROOMS

Our six individually designed rooms offer a peaceful stay in the heart of the South Downs. Understated, comfortable and each with its own character, they are a natural extension of time spent at The Woodcote - whether after dinner or as a base for exploring the surrounding landscape.
