Skye Gyngell passed away on Sat 22 November 2025, aged just 62.
Harden's says
The less formal of the two dining options (see also Marle) at Heckfield Place, a Georgian former family home that's been converted in to a new luxury hotel and spa. Centred around an open fire, the cooking here is "simple and heartfelt" - overseen by Skye Gyngell.
Harden's survey result
Summary
The ‘live-fire’ option at this Hampshire spa hotel offers “excellent if expensive food from the marvellous Skye Gyngell”, making best use of “lovely locally grown ingredients” and of an informal setting in the old stable block – for some guests it’s their “favourite of the Heckfield Place restaurants”, in preference to the more formal dining room-based Marle.
