Food & Drink

Food is at the heart of the Chalk Hare experience, where relaxed dining meets vibrant Mediterranean flavours in a stylish yet welcoming setting. Start your day with a freshly cooked breakfast before returning later to enjoy everything from artisan wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas and handmade pasta to steaks and expertly grilled dishes cooked over the restaurant’s Josper charcoal oven. Seasonal ingredients, carefully sourced produce and generous flavours run throughout the menu, while traditional British favourites ensure there is something for every appetite. The well-stocked bar serves a carefully selected range of wines, local ales, premium spirits and expertly crafted cocktails, making it just as appealing for a leisurely lunch as it is for an evening supper. In the summertime, enjoy alfresco drinks and dining on the terrace.
