Lunch at North Wing, Downham Hall

Escape to North Wing restaurant for lunch in our historic Georgian manor house. Situated between Billericay and Wickford and only a short drive from Chelmsford, we offer a peaceful countryside retreat right on your doorstep, surrounded by panoramic views of stunning Essex countryside.

Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely catch-up with friends or a midweek business lunch with colleagues, it’s the perfect escape from the everyday. Our 2 AA Rosette kitchen and TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice recognition reflect our commitment to quality, but what we love most is creating a welcoming space where everyone feels at home in our warm but elegant setting.

Seasonal Menus, Local Flavours

Our kitchen uses fresh, locally sourced seasonal ingredients from Essex producers to create perfectly balanced dishes, from beautiful salads and tender roasted meats to fresh fish and vegetarian options. The menu changes with the seasons, so there’s always something new to discover.

A Setting to Savour

Lunch is served in both our elegant De Beauvoir Suite and the light-filled Orangery, where views across the grounds and rolling hills provide a peaceful backdrop to your meal. It’s the kind of place where you can fully relax, away from the everyday.
