Nestled away in a leafy corner of Epsom, the Chalk Lane Hotel sits conveniently between the famous Derby Racecourse and the town centre. With only the occasional clipping of horses’ hooves against the tarmac to disturb the peaceful atmosphere of the area, this hotel is the ideal venue for any celebration.

The two AA rosette-awarded restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so whether you decide to luncheon on a weekday, enjoy a traditional Sunday lunch, or indulge in the evening à la carte menu, your experience at Chalk Lane is sure to be a success.

The new French head chef, Vincent Hiss, has put a more traditional stamp on the menu highlighting his French influence with the introduction of some exciting dishes such as terrine of cassoulet beans and duck confit, fillet of sea bass ‘au pistou’ and tournedos of lamb with globe artichoke and shitake mushrooms. Tantalising desserts include a caramelised apple tart and Guanaja chocolate soufflé.

The hotel’s ‘dine with wine’ weekday lunch menu offers an unforgettable dining experience at exceptional value. For only £12.50 for two courses, or £17.50 for three courses, one can enjoy an enticing meal together with a free glass of French wine. For those who enjoy something traditional, the hotel’s Sunday lunch menu offers familiar favourites, together with modern alternatives, for only £19.50 for two courses or £22.50 for three.

Using either the Woodcote, Chessington or Epsom rooms, the hotel can also cater for private parties ranging from ten to 120 people.

With the combination of an intimate atmosphere, friendly and professional staff and the ideal location – whether for business or pleasure – your encounter with the Chalk Lane Hotel is sure to be a memorable one.
