Birchwood

East Sussex, Flimwell - Modern British - Restaurant - ££

Standing on the fringes of more than 40 acres of coppiced birch and chestnut woods, Flimwell Park is a beacon of sustainability and environmental harmony. The simple Scandi-style decor of its restaurant is in keeping with an earth-nurturing ethos that takes localism to the next level. Mushrooms, elderberries, blackberries and on-trend ingredients such as wood sorrel and birch sap find their way into menus that come with views of the woodland – especially from the terrace. Early birds can feast on nutritious breakfasts from 8am, while lunch furnishes simple but effective dishes with big flavours. Smoked haddock dressed with curried mayo or pork belly with pickled turnips and hazelnuts might open the show. Asian seasonings add some zing to mains such as line-caught cod in miso marinade with kohlrabi slaw and soy dressing, while seasonal freshness is the watchword in a pearl barley risotto with asparagus, peas and goat's curd. Desserts tend to the more indulgent end of the spectrum,...

Desserts tend to the more indulgent end of the spectrum, as in white chocolate cheesecake with strawberries and granola. Monthly supper club evenings (at 7 for 7.30pm) offer a three-course set menu topped and tailed with snacks and treats, taken at two long tables. Book early.
