Alfresco dining 

The loveliest way to dine at South Lodge

When the coats are in storage and the sun’s shining, you can’t beat a replenishing meal or drink outdoors, with that panoramic South Downs view. Simply marvellous.

When booking your table at Camellia, Botanica or for afternoon tea and you would like to sit outside, just let us know - but of course we will keep an inside option for you too - just in case.

The terrace

The terrace

A view with no room 

Whether you’re nursing a morning coffee, taking lunch or enjoying a round of pre-dinner drinks, our sun-drenched terrace overlooking the South Downs is the perfect spot. 
 
It adds more than a little sophistication to your afternoon tea, too. 

Camellia

Camellia

Seasonal food, seasonal seating 

Sink into the comfy chairs on our stone-flagged patio and enjoy the verdant views of the grounds as you tuck into your hearty breakfast or 3 AA Rosette dinner menu.

We thought Camellia couldn’t be improved, but isn’t everything better in the sun?  

Botanica terrace

Heavenly all-day dining 

Elevate the feel-good vibes by taking your lunch or refreshments on the terrace. Sit like adults at the table or throw yourself back onto the sofa.

With the sun shining and that view, it’s a little piece of paradise.
