As summer days slowly drift into the golden hues of autumn, we're ready at Elite Hotels to embrace the changing season. From leaf-kicking country walks to fireside relaxation with a glass of something special, autumn at Elite is a celebration of comfort, connection, and local flavour.
Go Local
We're proud to support local producers this autumn, spotlighting the very best of Sussex and Hampshire's food & beverages.
The Grand's Mirabelle Restaurant Chef, Alex Burtenshaw, focused on local produce all year round, and his latest menu highlights that more than ever. The '3 for £32.00' lunch menu homes in on the restaurant's seaside location with seafood from the Sussex coast being the star of the show.
The Forest Brasserie at Ashdown Park is getting ready to switch its all-day dining menu to fit the season. But in the meantime, they welcome Ridgeview Estate, of the many local vineyards on the drinks list, for a special Wine Tasting Evening on 13th September.
In Hampshire, Tylney Hall are getting ready to harvest our orchard for a new production of Tylney Cider. Straight from the estate to our Library Bar - keep an eye out!
Rain or Shine
With a combination of sunshine and showers filling the forecast, we've perfected the art of making every moment count. Dine al fresco on sunny afternoons or retreat to our warm, elegant lounges when the drizzle arrives. Autumn is a season of contrasts, and we’re here to make each one extraordinary.
Spooky Season
The 'spooky season' comes alive at Elite Hotels! Wander the enchanting Pumpkin Trails around the Ashdown Park woodlands, create a squash centrepiece at the Autumn Flower Workshop at The Grand, and unravel chilling secrets in a thrilling Murder Mystery at Tylney Hall.
