The Winchelsea Gastronomic Promenade
Sat 25th July
Winchelsea
Rectory Ln, Winchelsea, TN36 4AA
Join us on 25th July for something out of the ordinary starting at the picturesque, historic town of Winchelsea (once one of the busiest ports in the country), situated just 2 miles from Rye. The Gastronomic Promenade route is approximately 7 miles long, taking guests on a curated journey through the streets of the Medieval town, a landscape of grassy pastures, the banks of the Royal Military Canal, and quiet country lanes. Winchelsea is a very special place - many of the pristine historic buildings and much of the surrounding scenic countryside is under the direct care of The National Trust.
Each locally sourced menu item on the Promenade is served in a different location along a carefully curated 7-mile route, guests will explore the streets of medieval Winchelsea, grassy pastures, the banks of the Royal Military Canal, and quiet country lanes along the way. Hidden gardens, historic inns, panoramic sea views and live music at each stop all form part of this unhurried, convivial menu experience.
Each course will be paired with a local wine or brew, and the day will culminate at the beautiful Charles Palmer Vineyards at Wickham Manor.
It's a full day out to be enjoyed at your own pace and well behaved dogs on leads are welcome!
