Harden's survey result
Summary
In beautiful Sussex countryside, this “superb” Elizabethan country house hotel makes a “romantic” retreat from ‘the smoke’, “with a wonderful dining room and rooms that are to die for”. One former fan had a poor visit here this year, but the majority of feedback lauds Steve Crane’s accomplished cuisine (there’s an à la carte, or choice of six- and seven-course tasting menus).
Summary
There’s still the odd sceptic, for whom the cooking is “competent” rather than outstanding, but this Elizabethan country house hotel continues to please most of those who comment on it thanks to its “brilliant and original food, served in comfort and style”.

Ockenden Manor Restaurant Diner Reviews
"we used to go to this restaurant regularly was the food is very good and the wine list excellent if a bit expensive. Service is always good. however we found that although the menus change every month, they don't vary much every year - January's menu one year is very similar to January's menu the next. This may be why they lost their star but the food is usually very good"
