The food at Moonrakers is central to everything we do. Our produce is locally sourced from some of the very best Sussex suppliers. The menu is always evolving and changing as the emphasis is firmly on seasonal produce. So we serve what is fresh and good this week. We are very happy to talk about where our food comes from. We serve a set price dinner and lunch, and there is no a la carte menu as such, but of course, just let us know if you would like something special or different.
At lunch we run a good value menu compris for either two or three courses. At weekends these are priced at £19.95 for three courses-less of course for two. During the week from Wednesday to Friday you can have two courses for £12.50 and three for £15.00.Sunday lunch as you might expect is slightly more rustic, warming and hearty in line with traditional Sunday dining style in rural surroundings.

In the evening we serve the Moonrakers seasonal dinner menu . There is often a small complimentary pre-starter such as artichoke soup, or a taster of a new dish that our chef Ross is preparing. The seasonal menu is priced at £35 per head. If you plan to eat at Moonrakers and would like to know exactly what the menu consists of, or have any food questions, then please e mail us and we will be very happy to send you the menu and discuss the ingredients or provenance of our food.
