Outstanding Local Produce
West Sussex is renowned for its food and wine production, and Petworth benefits from having access to the best that the region has to offer. With farms, vineyards and artisanal food producers all around us, Petworth has the pick of some of the UK’s best food and wine on its doorstep.
Provenance In Mind
Our restaurants and food shops work closely with local farms and fisheries who provide us with fantastic produce with a low carbon footprint. The Hungry Guest Butchers works with local producers to provide customers with the very best locally sourced fish and meat, including grass-fed beef from Graffam Farm, free-range pork from Scotts Free Range Farm and sustainably sourced fish from the south coast.
Local Artisan Produce
Experience a food lover’s paradise at The Hungry Guest artisan food shop, where you can uncover hidden gems like Ductonwood Honey, exquisite Noble and Stace chocolates, and a curated selection of locally produced gins and beers that showcase the best flavours of the area.
Heritage Fruit and Vegetables
Delve into a diverse selection of heritage fruits and vegetables harvested from the Mereworth Market Garden, dedicated to upholding the harmony of nature. Available for purchase at The Hungry Guest shop and featured in our mouthwatering restaurant dishes. Trust in Mereworth for fresh and tasty produce, with traceability, provenance, sustainability, and flavour at the forefront.
Over 50 vineyards in the South Downs area
The West Sussex area is a natural sun trap and has become the centre of wine production in the UK. Here, you’ll discover a range of white, rose, and sparkling wines that are often likened to those from the Champagne region in France.
Vineyard Tours and Visits
You’ll have the chance to try out a variety of local wines at the restaurants and pubs in Petworth, as well as at the vineyards themselves. There are several vineyards just a short distance from Petworth, such as Upperton Vineyard, Ashling Park Estate, Roebuck Estates, Stopham Vineyard and Nyetimber, many of which offer experiences and tours.
