THE LECONFIELD

The Leconfield has rapidly gained a reputation as one of the finest places to dine in West Sussex . Head chef Paul Welburn joined the restaurant in October 2015 and has quickly made his mark on this popular venue .
Paul trained with some of the best chefs in Britain and has years of Michelin-star cooking behind him , holding a star for five years at restaurant W1 in London . He gained 2 AA rosettes for The Leconfield within weeks of his arrival in Petworth .
The dishes are inspired by the surrounding countryside and Paul is passionate about working with local suppliers . Firm favourites on the menu include his crispy pig , burnt apple , shallot , parsley .
A 5-course tasting menu is served throughout the year and the two private dining rooms are a beautiful setting for special occasions . They also run a series of wine tasting evenings and master classes throughout the year .
There is also a pretty courtyard garden , ideal for al fresco dining in the summer months .
