About

West Dean is one of the most significant restored gardens open to the public and our team of eight gardeners and regular volunteers help keep the Gardens looking as wonderful as they do for us all to enjoy. The Gardens Restaurant and Gift Shop overlooks the beautiful Lavant valley and West Dean park. The River Lavant runs alongside. Built in the local brick and flint, the licensed restaurant is light and airy with a large garden terrace where visitors can enjoy some refreshments whilst admiring the views. The adjoining shop is the perfect place to pick up a gift or a plant for your garden.
