The Sussex Breakfast at the Ambassador Hotel

Nothing says "I'm on holiday, I have time" better than a cooked breakfast; imagine how much nicer it tastes knowing you're eating the finest local produce.

The Sussex Breakfast is delicious, local and seasonal. Sausages and bacon come from pigs reared outdoors or in open straw barns and eggs from free range chickens.  Milk, Butter and Cheese come from local small dairies, apple juice and seasonal fruit from local orchards. There are tasty homemade jams, mustards and marmalades – not forgetting halloumi cheese, museli, potato and smoked salmon alternatives to meat.

These are quality ingredients sourced direct from Sussex producers.

Caring animal husbandry and respect for the Sussex landscape and wildlife is a part of the ethos for serving a Sussex breakfast. Traditionally reared, grass-fed cows, pigs and chickens produce milk, meat and eggs rich in Omega-3s, the essential fatty acids we all require. And a Sussex breakfast means shorter supply chains and reduced food miles. Most of the food has not travelled outside of Sussex.
