Is it ever to early to enjoy a Christmas dinner? We don't think so and Chef Seamus is adding some festive dishes to the a la carte menu from Thursday 28th November. Take a look at the menu and book in with friends to start the celebrations early.
The change of the season brings new ingredients to the restaurant and a plethora of new dishes, as well as some Squerryes favourites. As we move back indoors to the cosy and welcoming Winery Restaurant, book to taste the season and enjoy the views over the vineyard as we prepare for harvest.
With views across the vineyard and wider estate, the AA two rosette award-winning restaurant is at the heart of the estate high up on the North Downs at the gateway to the Garden of England. Dedicated to sustainable dining and seasonal dishes, the Chef draws on livestock reared on the estate, produce foraged from its woodlands and fields, as well as handpicked local producers within a 30 mile radius.
Complementing the menu is a wine list authored by Laura Evans, Master of Wine. Diners can savour exciting new finds from the old and new world alongside a special collection of English wines. Or choose one of our award-winning, sparkling Squerryes wines to accompany your meal.
This autumn, diners can opt to enjoy the week day set menu, offering two or three courses using produce foraged from the estate, as well as meat reared by estate farmers. Main courses include meat, fish and vegetarian options with side dishes of pommes dauphinoise, honey-roasted root vegetables and triple cooked chips. Take a look at the menu and make a booking to join us soon.
Please note:the set menu will not be on offer in December.
Just outside Westerham, at the foot of the North Downs, at the gateway to the Garden of England, sits The Squerryes Winery Restaurant, part of the Squerryes wine estate - open inside all year round and outside when the English summer permits. Our stunning outdoor space has views across the estate’s Rosé vineyard and our marvellous modern brasserie (inside) has more views and plenty of wine and estate related character.
We have created a place to celebrate the spring and summer with wonderful lunches and relaxed afternoon dining. Close your eyes for a minute and you could be in the South of France. Our private covered terrace and lawn at the rear of the Winery provide shade and shelter when needed, whilst other tables bask in glorious sunshine.
In the event of rain and bad weather we do move people inside to our indoor restaurant on the upper level of the Winery with beautiful views over the estate.
Our family motto is at the heart of all we do: to enjoy life’s simple pleasures with friends and family through delicious food and wine.
Talented acts will add a delightful backdrop and ambience to the restaurant and bar every other Friday evening. Listen to local talent, hand-selected by industry master Paul Dunton, known for the Local and Live Music Festival and The Grey Lady Music Lounge.
We also welcome guests to join us for a drink in the bar without a reservation.
November Acts:
Nov 24th - Gianna Duo
Please note: More acts will be listed as the bookings are confirmed.
Spring brings a fresh crop of produce to the restaurant, from asparagus and wild garlic to kale and rhubarb. As the season unfolds, the menu will change to reflect the bounty of the estate and county. Immerse yourself in the new season menu and discover your next favourite Squerryes dish.
Once a month we welcome local musicians to the restaurant to provide a relaxed backdrop to your Friday night. You can either book for drinks and small plates, or enjoy a meal from the à la carte menu.
Our next live music evening will not be until February 2025, due to Christmas events and New Year closure.
Squerryes Tasting Bar will offer a relaxed space to start your evening with a drink before dinner. Take advantage of Joy Hour from 17.31 (the year the Warde family became the owners of the Squerryes Estate): try a vintage not normally available by the glass and receive a small plate. The offers will change regularly.
Sunday at Squerryes has a real focus on ingredients from the Estate. With a choice of meats, vegetarian option or fish, book now to enjoy a hearty roast with crispy roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and seasonal vegetables, plus an array of desserts (if you can squeeze one in).
We love to host events and aim to make each as individual as you are. Whether you would like hire our private dining space, take a corner or exclusive hire of the restaurant, then do get in touch. Our events and restaurant team will work with you to deliver a celebration to meet your expectations - with plenty of Squerryes sparkling wine of course!
Take the stress out of Sundays by bringing the family to Squerryes for a roast. Enjoy estate - reared beef and lamb, or opt for a fish or vegetarian main course in the welcoming surrounding of The Winery Restaurant.
Everyone is welcome at Squerryes and we'd like to think there's something to satisfy all tastes. Younger diners can choose from our Children's Menu, or perhaps one of our small plates from the summer menu might tempt them? Take a look at the Children's menu below.
We're having a party on Friday 6th and Thursday 12th December (Saturday 14th December has sold out) where guests will enjoy an evening of food, wine and dancing. With music from DJ Marcel Mendez, plus exclusive use of the restaurant for our party guests, come eat, drink and be merry with plenty of Squerryes to toast the season!
With a bountiful larder of seasonal produce on our doorstep, Head Chef Seamus works with the seasons to handpick ingredients from the Squerryes Estate and the wider Garden of England. Creating simple, yet delicious dishes, including meat reared and butchered on the estate, Seamus expresses the natural flavours of the region, prepared without compromise and complemented by an array of wines and cocktails.
As ingredients change frequently, our menus do too. Menus here are a guide to the season and may not reflect exactly what is available when you dine with us.
The wine list has been designed by our Master of Wine, Laura Evans an expert in her field for 20 years. Her passion is shared with you through the ample selection of red, white and fortified wines, each with their own quite fascinating story – old and new world, contemporary English brands and exciting new finds. Or enjoy a glass of Squerryes made with fruit grown on the chalk soils of our North Downs vineyard - a portfolio of young and aged wines, that clearly express our chalk-rich terroir and the spirit of our house.
