Foxhills Club & Resort to launch Lomri restaurant

A brand-new restaurant is opening in Surrey this April, as Foxhills Club & Resort unveils Lomri, a new dining destination within the estate’s Manor House.

At the helm is head chef Achal Aggarwal, who has worked at sites such as Hotel Okura in Tokyo and Morimoto in New York. He later became executive chef for Hilton Hotels & Resorts in India. His menu at Lomri takes inspiration from the historic trade routes that once connected India and Britain, blending Indian ingredients with contemporary techniques and elegant presentation.

The owners say that the new dishes are "vibrant, layered, unique and full of character".

Guests can expect a selection of small plates such as crispy squid bhajia with lime chutney alongside tandoor-grilled dishes including king prawns scented with curry leaf or paneer tikka with chutneys. Large plates include pork of coorg, with aromatic biryanis unveiled at the table, while desserts range from kulfi and saffron-soaked jalebi to modern creations.

The name Lomri comes from the Hindi word for ‘fox’, a nod to Foxhills’ heritage and identity. The opening forms part of a £1.5m transformation of Foxhills’ late-18th century Manor House. 

Alongside the restaurant, the Manor Lounge and Bar has also been reimagined. 

Pam and Ian Hayton purchased the site in 1983. The resort now features 66 bedrooms and three restaurants, as well as conference, meeting, wedding and event facilities and two golf courses.
