A special event to encourage restaurants, pubs and cafes in the Horsham district to ‘Plate Up Local’ was held at Wiston Wine Estate last week, with guest speakers including celebrity chef and MasterChef Winner Kenny Tutt.

We lift the lid on some of the best new restaurants and cafés in Sussex that are throwing open their doors to guests in 2021
Burnt Orange
Opening date: Early June.
If you like the vibe of a bar but want all the deliciousness of a restaurant, you’re sure to be impressed with Burnt Orange, which has been designed to deliver exactly that. The new all-day and late-night hangout is the brainchild of restaurateur Razak Helalat and promises to win you over with its casual yet sophisticated ambience, complete with a specially curated music programme by DJ Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim).
Afternoon Tea at Amberley Castle

Looking for somewhere to eat and drink in the great outdoors? We’ve rounded up a selection of the county’s most picturesque spots.
1. Amberley Castle, near Arundel
Steeped in 900 years of history, Amberley Castle is like something out of a fairytale. Behind those medieval walls lies 12 acres of formal gardens with rose-covered arches, topiary, perennial borders and Koi carp ponds.
The food: Those wanting to dine al fresco can order from the all-day pantry menu, enjoy afternoon tea, or order a luxury hamper packed with treats. Plump for the Laurent-Perrier Champagne Afternoon Tea Flight, which delights with cakes, savoury bites and finger sandwiches served with tea or coffee and three different glasses of Champagne.
