Frogg Manor Restaurant

Unashamedly bourgeois, eccentric, original & quintessentially English

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, seven days a week, but only by prior reservation. The restaurant conservatory seating, affords stunning views of the garden and at night when floodlit with the table lights dimmed, the effect is pure romance.

On arrival, all guests are received in the lounge area. All dishes are prepared to order and allowing time for choice and preparation, dining could be between 25 - 45 minutes. For those that seek and enjoy comfort and nostalgia with music from the 30's and 40's, there is an atmosphere of pure romance.

A restaurant with a gourmet menu utilising locally sourced beef, lamb & chicken. Fresh fish daily. Food preparation sympathetic to food intolerance. Relax after dinner and tarry a while with coffee and chocolates in the comfort of the lounge, and for those so inclined Frogg Manor has a party room for dancing and partying following dinner.
