About Stanmer House
Stanmer House is the Grade I listed, Palladian-style manor at the heart of Stanmer Park, on the city’s northern edge. Its restaurant fills the ground floor, with garden café seating overlooking the park, and is best known for its Sunday roast and afternoon tea; the bar is fully licensed, with barista coffee and teas. Dogs and families are welcome and the house is accessible throughout, and the Coffee Hatch at the front serves coffee, pastries and snacks to bistro tables outside. The house is a few minutes’ walk from Falmer station and the University of Sussex. It is first and foremost a wedding and events venue, so book Sunday lunch and check opening on its own website before you go.
