Welcome to the website for the Highdown
We are thrilled to be renovating Highdown House. Built in 1820 as the family home of the Lyons family the 3 story building enjoys views towards the downs on one side and the sea to the other. In 1909 the house and surrounding grounds were bought by Major Stern and his wife. From that date until Sir Frederick's death in 1967 they created and developed the present, beautiful gardens, in and around a former chalk pit. In 1970 the gardens were kindly passed to Worthing Borough Council who since the mid 1970s have restored and managed them to the Sterns' original design including the propagation of their original stock.
The house, sometimes called Highdown Towers or the ‘House on the Hill’ has enjoyed a very mixed past since then. A language school, a dance school, conference centre and at one point one of the most well-known 'Hardcore Rave' clubs in Europe, before becoming a calmer carvery and hotel.
Being foodies at heart, our menu, is something of an eclectic mix, striking a balance of hearty pub classics, complemented by more exotic influences from around the world. It changes regularly and reflects the seasons but always offers a mix of traditional British dishes alongside something a little different.
