Quench your thirst with an Isca 65 - our unique take on the classic French 75 cocktail - made with hand-foraged lilac from the estate, with a nod to our Garden Charity which was established in 1965.

Inspired by the gardens in full bloom, it offers delicate floral aromas, bright citrus notes and a lively, refreshing finish.

Bringing the garden to the glass with every sip.

The arrival of the Summer Solstice invites us to linger a little longer.

As golden light moves across the garden and evening settles over the terrace, we celebrate the abundance of the season — roses gathered by hand, ingredients harvested at their peak, and moments shared around the table.

Join us for cocktails as the sun begins to dip, before settling in for a menu shaped by the landscape that surrounds us.

A joyful celebration of light and seasonality.

At Restaurant Isca, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a dining experience that feels both grounded in nature and joyful.

Designed with Nicola Harding & Co., the interiors draw inspiration from the gardens which the glasshouse restaurant overlook. Rich textures, natural materials and a palette shaped by the Sussex countryside creates a space that feels warm, elegant and deeply connected to the landscape.

Sunlight moves across handcrafted surfaces, layered textiles soften each corner, and carefully curated furnishings invite guests to settle and linger.

Just as the menus celebrate the seasons and the bounty of Borde Hill estate, the interiors in Isca tell a story of craftsmanship, heritage and a deep connection to the garden.
