Stanmer House
When Alex Proud, the Brighton-born entrepreneur, signed a long lease on Stanmer House, in 2016, taking it over from the pub operator, Whiting and Hammond, he didn’t have to think twice:
“I grabbed at the chance with both hands. It (was) a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can never really own it, but we hope to take stewardship of it for a generation.”
Over the past three years The Proud Group has invested considerable time and money in upgrading and improving the facilities and service at Stanmer, including a six figure renovation and redecoration of the main rooms. The Group have also acquired planning permission to convert the property into a boutique hotel, with exciting renovations set to take place in the early part of 2020!
Stanmer House in Brighton is steeped in history a stunningly restored Grade 1 country house nestled in unspoilt Grade 2 listed parkland and acres of peaceful, open-access Sussex woodland and countryside. The Park and House is just a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of Brighton and Hove and is the perfect location for a family stroll followed by a Sunday Lunch, or perhaps an afternoon tea.
Stanmer House Restaurant, whether you pop in for a cosy coffee and cake, or visit for a very special classic dining experience, offers an enchanting experience in the stunningly restored formal rooms of the 18th Century mansion.
